Dana White is PISSED

I've been a big fan of the UFC for about 3 years now and I'm glad to see it is growing. What can I say, I love to see people beat each other's asses and boxing doesn't do it for me. For those of you uneducated asshats, Dana White is the president of the UFC. He was questioned about steroids on Thursday and he had some great answers. It was only matter of time before the media started questioning these fighters about steroid usage. I'm sure a few guys have stabbed themselves with some needles but the sport is pure. First comes fighting technique and tactic, then comes strength. The fighters' workout regime is so intense that it makes sense for some of these guys to be HUGE. White has been talking down steroids trying to get some credibility but when he was asked about testing fighters he blew up:

"What would happen every Sunday every time an NFL player put his cleats on and headed out to the field they were tested by the government for steroids?" White queried Thursday from a podium inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center. "You want me to tell you? There would be no football, OK? Football would be over. Every player would be on suspension. Maybe the quarterback and the kicker would be out there on Sunday."

Is Dana White insinuating that Damon Huard DOESN'T shoot up? He really can't think that David Akers isn't on 'roids can he? I swear if he even accuses sexy Rexy I will never watch another fight.

There have been 82 positive results for steroids in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) since it was installed in 2006. Nine of those have involved UFC fighters and the punishment is a one year suspension, which I would think should scare fighters away from juicing. Dana White has a new idea for roid ragers though:

"It's just, you know ... What do you want me to do? Start beating them with a stick? Drag them out to the middle of town and have all the villagers stone them to death? I mean, they lose the ability to make a living for a year (for testing positive). That's pretty harsh."

I've always wanted to stone someone...

Trying Not to Get High Hopes

9 more days until kickoff in South Bend. I am giddy. Kind of like a pedophile at the LLWS. However this year I'm going to try and be more rational. The past two seasons have cost me a putter, a large dry erase board, my right hand, and a poor box of Special K. I still cry when I see Ambrose Wooden tracking down that douche bag on 4th and 9. I still kill a baby every time I see those fucks from Lansing stick that flag in the grass. Enough of the past. Let's look forward to the not so promising year for the Irish.

Charlie Weis is good. I don't care what the criticizers say about him, he is a damn good coach. I know he is a giant ass, and has a giant ass, but I love him. The quarterback situation is ugly this year since Jimmy Clausen is not 100%. Evan Sharpley is the last guy I want to see taking the snaps even though he has "experience." Demetrius Jones is black and I hate the scrambling QB so basically I won't be happy whoever is chosen. Clausen clearly has the most potential, but I believe it is best for him to be red shirted this year. The last thing he needs is to go into a game against a tough schedule and play poorly because he hasn't been practicing at full strength. The media will eat him alive and the freshman will crumble and lose any confidence he may have left. Maybe Ron Powlus can spark of his old magic into the hearts of the Irish...

The O-Line brings back John Sullivan and Sam Young who is part-human, part-giant. Weis has been training the o-line to learn multiple positions because of the youth, and lack of depth. So basically the o-line sucks and when the o-line is bad, the team is bad (See Cleveland Browns' last 10 years).

The running game has potential with a thunder and lightning style. Travis Thomas is a freak of a human. He made the transition to LB last year since Darius Walker would be the one carrying the football, however this year he will probably be the go to guy at HB. Speaking of Walker, that was the most idiotic move ever to go to the draft. When I saw that he declared, I hired an agent thinking that if Darius got drafted, I could get drafted. Back to Thomas. It is probable that he will play both ways this year and then some special teams. He has speed, but is more of a power back. James Aldridge was last year's big recruit at half back and has a lot of potential. He will get his share of carries this year until Weis figures out which back is best for the team. Senior Junior Jabbie and freshman Armando Allen are the two speedsters out of the backfield. Weis has said that Jabbie has been a nice surprise early on.

John Carlson is a stud. DJ Hord might be good. David Grimes should be better. George West might actually see an offensive snap. However, facts are facts and Notre Dame has zero big targets at wide out. Robby Paris didn't really play last year and he's 6'3 making him the tallest player in the corps, but he sucks right now. The tight ends are very solid and should be for a long time. Will Yeatman, Mike Ragone, and Duval Karama are all young and gifted. Yeatman is 6'6, 260 and leads the lacrosse team in points (whatever that means). The more I write this, the more I realize how bad ND is going to be, and I haven't even gotten to the defense yet.

Fuck special teams, no matter who kicks the field goals I'm always scared. It is like having a bad closer in baseball except more nerve racking when I have to close my eyes on the extra points.

Trevor Laws and Derrell Hand lead the Irish D-line this fall. Notre Dame converted to the 3-4 defense under Weis and it suits them just as well as the 4-3. It still sucks. Pat Kuntz is fighting Chris Stewart for the nose tackle spot and personally I want Pat Kuntz playing even if he is the worse player. Just imagine some of the signs and references you could make for this guy. I won't even get into it.

Linebackers are on the same disastrous level as last year. Maurice Crum Jr. is the star, but Weis has shown interest in John Ryan. No he does not crash weddings, (wow I'm so funny) he is a DE converted OLB with good speed. Joe Brockington will get the start as long as Toryan Smith doesn't beat him out and senior Anthony Vernaglia is the front runner right now but Scott Smith is also showing some skill. Nonetheless everyone will end up blowing ass like usual.

Terrail Lambert showed some large steps in his progression last year and I'm excited to see what he can do. He may just be the first corner to actually try since Vontez "I'm the best player ever" Duff. Ambrose Wooden is back too. Damnit. Darrin Walls and Raeshon McNeil were the two huge recruit from last year and should get some playing time in the nickel and dime. Gary Gray is the noob this year and just look at his name. He is so cool that he only switches around two letter from his first name to his last. He must be good. David Bruton will start opposite of Jesus Christ this year at safety. Jesus has lost some weight and gotten his speed back from 2 years ago. His boxing career and shoulder injury had an impact on his performance last year but he should be back to performing miracles.

As far as the schedule goes...
vs. GaTech- W
@ Penn St.- W
*Anthony Morelli is the worst player ever. If I hear any more hype about that stupid wop I am going to fucking shit myself. Name one good thing about him.
@ Mich- L
vs Mich St.- W
@ Purdue- W
@ UCLA- L
*Watch out for UCLA this year.
vs BC - L
vs USC - L
vs Navy, Air Force, Duke- W
@ Stanford- W.

If I can do math that comes to 8-4. GROSS, but I think it's expected. I think the BC game could swing in Notre Dame's favor but after the last couple BC games there is no point in pretending the Irish can win. I'm excited but skeptical.

I aint Goin' Back 2 Jail

I'm getting bored with it. I just don't understand what goes through a humans brain sometimes. I'm talking about college athletes' run ins with the law. Not the alcohol offenses that seem to pop out, but felony theft, rape, assault and so on. Two more WVU football players are being charged in the stealing of computer. These kids are my peers. When I wake up in the morning I rarely find myself turning to my roommate and saying, "Hey Mike let's go steal a fucking laptop today. After that we can kill a cop and beat his wife. Whaddya say pal?"

Rich Rodriguez is an artard. WVU is trying really hard to live up to the standards of the U. Of course, the one frosh is from the fine state of Florida, where children are raised as inbreds and criminals. Rodriguez has recruited thugs like Pacman and Chris Henry for the fact that they had great talent. I love a coach who loves to win. Especially ones who settle for the talented kids who can't speak or read. It's not like the coach is all to blame. These kids were groomed through high school with free grades and would get away with anything. Wasted talent pisses me off.

Uber Leet Gamerz

Not having internet for the past week has really opened my mind to realize that I can't actually function without it. Peanut butter and internet. One cannot survive for more than 2 weeks without both of them. I was down to my last seven days but don't worry I made it.

When I lose in a video game I usually become emotionally depressed for a few hours, sometimes days. However the fine technologically advanced country known as "Japan" has invented a game that punishes its gamers. In the popular game "Arm Spirit," nerds arm wrestle a machine. I can't even win a regular arm wrestling match let alone one versus a fucking machine.

This hit game has decided to break its' opponents arms. Three of them. Some poor little kid just wanted to go have a ball at Chuckie Cheeses but he came home with a broken arm.

"The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it," said Atlus spokeswoman Ayano Sakiyama, calling the recall "a precaution."
