What to Make of This Jon Jones Situation

So if you haven't heard, the UFC is moving UFC 232 from Vegas to Los Angeles on a weeks notice because Jon Jones popped for PEDs again.  The UFC and USADA and the California State Athletic Commission all seem to agree that this test result is merely residual steroids from the "pinch of salt in an Olympic swimming pool" amount of steroids that was previously in his system 18 months ago.  Same drug and everything - turinabol.

Now a lot of people have a lot of opinions on this. Joe Rogan thinks it's all legit with Jon Jones, which is what he thought the first time as well.  Dana White and Jeff Novitzy aka the Golden Snitch, the guy who runs the UFC's anti-doping program, both also seem to agree with that as well.  Andy Foster, the head of the CSAC, is yet another legitimate, reliable party who says this is clearly just leftover from a year and a half ago.  All that said, this all stinks like a steaming pile of horseshit.

Allow me to explain...

Jon Jones has already gotten caught with this exact same substance in his body 18 months ago.  The same substance that was 100% confirmed to be in his body, and for which he could never find a tainted supplement that explained its presence.  The same one that got him suspended.  A suspension he got overturned by offering to snitch for USADA.

So if he gets popped for steroids again, while snitching for USADA, what happens?  Does he get suspended?  Does the deal go away?  It kind of seems like a conflict of interest to be the organization in charge of testing one of their own assets.  Jon Jones has repeatedly said he isn't providing any information on "fighters", but USADA has very publicly made it known that he is absolutely without a doubt providing them with information on someone.  If they are trying to blow the roof off a major scandal in a different, much bigger sport and Jon Jones is providing valuable information that helps move them towards achieving that goal, wouldn't it be in their best interest to do everything that needed to be done to keep that deal in place?

On top of that, the numbers just don't really add up.  Don't worry, I read a bunch of articles and reddit posts so I've got this whole thing all figured out.  

Turinabol is supposedly known for getting out of the athlete's system quickly.  Like out of your system in a couple of days or weeks quickly depending on the amount, and possibly months in rare cases.  But it's been a year and a half and Jones passed like seven drug tests with zero sign of Turinabol until now. Not only that, but the first time he got caught there was approximately 20-80 picograms per millileter.  Don't worry about what a picogram is, I have no idea either, it isn't important.  What is important is that this time around Jones got caught with 60 picograms per liter in his system.  So in a year and a half, the maximum amount of turinabol that was in Jonny Bones' system wasn't even cut in half.  The fuck outta here with that nonsense.  

This whole situation STINKS and it stinks like shit.  I'm not hating on Jon Jones either, he's an absolute monster and hands down one of the most entertaining fighters in the world. I will 100% be watching the fight this weekend and I'm expecting him to show out.  I just think entire ordeal seems super sketchy and more than likely Jon Jones just did Jon Jones shit again because he doesn't really give a fuck, and he figures USADA won't make an example of their star witness.





Or I could be totally wrong.  Gotta love a good conspiracy though.







If you're a fight fan and haven't seen the first matchup, do yourself a favor...

Blood bath.

Carmelo Anthony: A Basketball Tragedy. Can He Be Fixed?

A lot of people are going to read this and think that I am nothing more than a Melo hater and that's fine.  Those people are totally right.  I do hate on Melo.  But it wasn't always like that.  There once existed a time in my life where I thought Carmelo Anthony was the absolute truth, someone who could actually rival the hype of Lebron James - a staple of my top 5 most hated athletes list.  He dominated the NCAA during his lone year at Syracuse, averaging 20 and 10 for the eventual National Champions.  Number three overall pick, had an excellent rookie year, he was primed for greatness.  So how did we get to this point?  How did we get to a point where Carmelo Anthony fell so far that literally no NBA team wants him?  How did a 10 time all star with no major injuries lose so much value in such a short period of time?  How did this once great man become so desperate for affection that he began wearing hoodies to the beach because he recognized that the only Melo people like and care about is Hoodie Melo?






It's simple really.  You see, Carmelo Anthony never really learned how to be good at the game of basketball.  He does one thing well and one thing only - score, and he needs 20+ shots to do it.  He's an absolute liability on the defensive end, he clogs up an offense by holding the ball, and his "versatility" has been drastically overstated.

Carmelo is not a PF or a stretch 4, nor has he ever been one.  He can score on small forwards and power forwards, yes, but he can't defend either.  The years where he tried to play more of a power forward role with the Knicks are the years where his reputation began to take the biggest hit.  Put simply, he is an extremely limited basketball player.  

When he left Denver, their offense got more efficient.  They lost their top scorer and their offense got BETTER.  Ok, New York still sucks but they don't have Kristaps and Jim Dolan is still the owner so it's tough to say they would be better off with Carmelo so I won't shit on him for that one.  Then came Oklahoma City, who is a completely different team now without having to find minutes for him and their defense, specifically, has been spectacular.  Though I'm sure ditching Melo and their defense vastly improving are totally unrelated.  After OKC he was shipped off to Houston and played all of 10 games before they decided he it wasn't going to work out.  Think about that for a second...in an offense where you are encouraged to shoot as much as possible, Carmelo Anthony wasn't a good fit.

Stunning.

But fear not, for I am here to be Melo's guiding light - his guardian angel, the wind beneath his wings.  This isn't easy for me because as I explained earlier I sort of hate him.  Not in a personal sense, I'm sure he's a perfectly alright guy, but as a basketball fan.  I think he plays gross basketball, and I don't think the new pace and space revolution with a lot more fluid ball movement has "left him behind."  I think it has exposed him and his overall lack of ability.  

But that doesn't mean he has to stop playing professional basketball.  Melo just needs to suck up his pride and take his talents to South Beijing.  Go full Marbury.  I know it sounds crazy but hear me out:


1.  Style of Play

Full disclosure, I don't watch a ton of Chinese basketball games and that's on me.  With that said, I'm fairly certain the CBA isn't as advanced as the NBA.  Just a hunch, but with guys like Pierre Jackson (Baylor) and Jimmer Fredette (legend) dropping 40 points per game on 25+ shots, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Carmelo's bread and butter would fit right in.  He's not hurt and he's never relied on explosiveness.  He just needs to jog his doughy body up and down the court and shoot without conscience for four quarters.  That style is legitimately tailor made for him.

2.  Legacy

As discussed earlier, Melo is a liability in the modern NBA.  Teams don't want him because he can't help them.  Yes, Lebron said he would want Melo in LA but that's because they are banana boat BFFs for life and he realizes this whole situation is super humiliating for his buddy so he's trying to help out.  He doesn't actually believe Melo can help the Lakers win.  Bron Bron is many things, naive is not one of them.  Even if he does get signed he's getting bench minutes, and we're not talking sixth man 25-30 minutes a game.  No, we're talking, "We'll fit you in when we can" minutes.  Bullshit minutes.  That's no bueno for someone with an ego the size of Mr. Anthony.

In China, you could probably sit or play as you please.  The Wonton Don basically walks in and owns the place as an American spectator.  Can you imagine the kind of influence American players have?  The possibilities are endless, Melo could be a god damned king over there!  Plus, with the lesser talent and a much less grueling schedule it's not unreasonable to think he could play another legit 5-6 years or so, making tons of money off advertising and sweet sweet Chinese merch.  The Chinese market is massive, the money is there, and their love of basketball is growing at an insane rate.  Free cheese, baby.

3.  Loneliness

So obviously being away from friends and family is tough.  To be honest, I thought Melo was still on the outs with LaLa because he banged that stripper and allegedly had a kid with her, but it looks like he's managed to weasel his way back into her good graces.  I won't lie, that complicates things.  Before  it would just have been, well your wife doesn't want you around anyways and your friends are still busy during the NBA season, what with them still playing and all.  There wouldn't have been any real point to sticking around.  I guess maybe being away from his kids would be a bummer.  I don't know, I don't have kids, they seem awful.

Either way, it's irrelevant.  Because Dwyane Wade is gonna save the day.  He's already expressed an interest in going to China to build his brand abroad.  This way, Carmelo can pretend like it was his idea.  Then when D-Wade comes over, Melo can create his own Chinses superteam just like he wanted to do with those guys all these years.




So that's it.  I just saved Melo's career and reputation.  I look forward to watching him become a Chinese Basketball Association legend.  And when - not if - when that day does inevitably come, I will be here smiling proudly, for that will be the day that I no longer hate Carmelo Anthony.  

Let's Talk About the Colts Draft

Final Results:

• ROUND 1, PICK 6 (Sixth overall)
Quenton Nelson, guard, Notre Dame

• ROUND 2, PICK 4 (36th overall)
Darius Leonard, linebacker, South Carolina State

• ROUND 2, PICK 5 (37th overall)
Braden Smith, guard, Auburn

• ROUND 2, PICK 20 (52nd overall)
Kemoko Turay, defensive end, Rutgers

• ROUND 2, PICK 32 (64th overall)
Tyquan Lewis, defensive lineman, Ohio State

• ROUND 4, PICK 4 (104th overall)
Nyheim Hines, running back, N.C. State

• ROUND 5, PICK 22 (159th overall)
Daurice Fountain, wide receiver, Northern Iowa

• ROUND 5, PICK 32 (169th overall)
Jordan Wilkins, running back, Mississippi

• ROUND 6, PICK 11 (185th overall)
Deon Cain, wide receiver, Clemson

• ROUND 7, PICK 3 (221st overall)
Matthew Adams, linebacker, Houston

• ROUND 7, PICK 17 (235th overall)
Zaire Franklin, linebacker, Syracuse



First and foremost, I absolutely LOVE the Quenton Nelson pick and don't know how you can't as a Colts fan.  I noticed a few pundits said they understood the need, but 6th overall is high for a guard.  That's fine, because another thing I noticed was the fact that most prospect rankings lists had him as the number one overall prospect in the entire draft. Six might be high for a guard, but getting someone who is expected to play at a Pro Bowl level on your interior line is important, especially for a team whose All Pro quarterback missed the entire past season with a shoulder injury he got from getting put on his ass on a very consistent basis.  At the very least, it was much more consistent basis than desired.  Unless you're Ryan Grigson because he didn't give a FUCK about having an o-line.

After the first pick, we basically doubled up on need positions.  Braden Smith out of Auburn should compete for a spot on the line, and at worst he's a rotational backup with a lot of potential and some versatility to boot.  Darius Leonard out of South Carolina State is a a bit of an unknown, and by that I mean I didn't know who he was going into the draft.  With that said he seems like someone who plays on the edge and in the backfield and appears versatile enough to play at a couple spots in the new 4-3 we're cooking up.  Add in Tyquan Lewis from Ohio State (a pick that I personally love) and Kemoko Turay from Rutgers and all the sudden we have a nice group of young pass rushers to work with.  

The idea of building depth didn't stop there.  Ballard then proceeded to add two running backs in Nyheim Hines out of NC State and Jordan Wilkins from Ole Miss.  Hines ran a 4.38 - the fastest 40 time at the combine - but I actually thought Ito Smith out of Southern Miss was a better talent at this spot. As for Wilkins, I see him competing for a starting job.  He ran for over 1,000 yards last season for the Rebels, and he actually did most of his damage against SEC opponents.  Of his 1,011 yards almost 800 of them came against the SEC, including over 100 against eventual National Champion Alabama.  

Rounding out the final selections were a couple linebackers and wide receivers, all of whom will likely have a chance to contribute immediately on special teams.  Deon Cain out of Clemson is my sleeper pick for one of the starting receiver picks.  I thought he showed a lot more with DeShaun Watson and struggled last year with Kelly Bryant and the regression in the passing attack.  With Andrew Luck throwing him the ball, he should be able to showcase his skills more consistently.  All in all, I feel good about it.  One surefire difference maker at the top of the draft and young, competitive depth at several areas of need.  Not the most glamorous draft, but one that should prove fruitful over the next couple of years.

At the same time it could also be a total disaster.  It's always tough to tell with these types of things.

Romeo Langford is Headed to Bloomington: A Quick Breakdown

The Prodigal Son didn't leave!  It's official, Romeo Langford is staying in his home state.  And if any of you are wondering where he's from, it's New Albany, Indiana - a city directly across the Ohio River from Louisville where Chris Mack was no doubt making a late push to sign the 5-star shooting guard.  It goes without saying, but I'm gonna say it anyways.  This is very, very good for Archie Miller and Indiana.  This marks without a doubt the biggest signing of his career as a head coach.  And the fact that he's an in-state kid should only help future local recruiting efforts.  

For awhile it looked like Langford was leaning towards Kansas, but then with the FBI report mentioning them that changed things real quick.  Weirdly, Vanderbilt kept getting mentioned as a surprise player by managing to peek Langford's interest with an insanely out of character recruiting class: two 5-stars and a 4-star to pair him with.  If you ask me, the FBI might want to investigate Vanderbilt, but that's just if you ask me.  

Thankfully, Romeo chose to stay in state and play for the Hoosiers and achieve legend status in Indiana.  Bless him.

As for Archie Miller, this gives him one of the most athletic and well-built prospects in the country to play around with.  Langford is 6'5 with a 6'10 wingspan.  We already know he gets buckets with the best of them, but this gives Archie elite defensive intangibles to play with.  Victor Oladipo intangibles.  And despite never having a player of this caliber before as a college coach, Archie has worked with this type of talent during his time with Team USA.  He isn't going to be reigning in anything, Langford is going to be let loose from the get go and I'm excited to see what he can do.  

In a Big Ten conference heavy with difference making guards, we now have a difference making defender.  YUGE acquisition for the Hoosiers, huge get for Archie, and an immediate impact player to join with fellow local signees Damezi Anderson and Robert Phinisee, two 4-stars from South Bend and Lafayette, respectively.  With Langford as the cherry on top, IU just brought in the #11 ranked recruiting class in the country and took a massive step in the right direction.  

Good shit.



High School Summary: GETS. BUCKETS.

Update on Jerry Jones vs. the NFL

Absolutely unbelievable.  Jerry Jones has officially gone soft.  

He caved.  It took almost zero effort on the NFL's part.  One measly fucking hearing and he just gave up.  I was expecting a dog fight and Jerry just rolled over like a fat little pug. Stick a fork in him folks, he's done.

An absolutely pathetic effort from a once-great man.  Today is a tragic day indeed, and by today I mean a couple of days ago when this actually happened.  I should have written about it but I chose to drink and watch basketball instead.  I do not regret the decision, but at the same time I understand your frustrations with me being very late to the conversation.  I don't know what you tell you, it is what it is.

Where was I?...Right, the NFL lost a legend this week - a man who once swung the biggest of dicks, but alas, no more.  Gone are the days of party bus Jerry, and strip club Jerry; he has finally been neutered by Roger Goodell and the rest of the other owners.  They finally stood up to the bully and he cowered in fear.  Not only am I definitely mad, I am also incredibly disappointed in one of the all-time great assholes.  No pouting?  No temper tantrums?  No leaked information or planted gossip?  What world am I living in?

Nope, none of that, just folding and maturely accepting punishment and holding himself accountable for his actions.

Disgusting.  I'm disgusted.




Live look at the former king...

The Battle Over Charles Manson's Body is Finally Over...and It Was Weird as Fuck

Source - A grandson of cult leader Charles Manson won the bizarre California court battle Monday over the killer's body.

Kern County Superior Court Commissioner Alisa Knight ruled that Jason Freeman can retrieve Manson's remains, which have been on ice in the Bakersfield morgue since he died in November.

Freeman didn't immediately comment but previously said he would cremate and spread the ashes of Manson and put to rest "this so-called monster, this historical figure that shouldn't have been blown up as big as it was for all these years."

Manson died in a hospital in Bakersfield while serving a life sentence for orchestrating the 1969 killings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and eight others. He was 83.

The fight over his corpse devolved into a circus of sorts with friends filing competing wills purportedly signed by the infamous inmate while kin began to come out of the woodwork to also stake a claim to the killer's body and an estate that could include lucrative rights to songs Manson wrote or to license his image and other material.

While the decision clears the way for Manson to be cremated or buried, the battle for the body foreshadows what lies ahead as the same competing camps wrestle for control of the estate.

The case in Kern County was brought by the coroner's office, which said it wanted to quickly resolve the matter because bodies were piling up at the morgue from the methamphetamine and opioid epidemics.

The three-way fight for the body was between Freeman, Michael Brunner, a man who said he was fathered by Manson, and Michael Channels, a pen pal who collected and sold Manson memorabilia and filed what he said was the cult leader's will.

The three all tried to cast doubt on the authenticity of the competing claims and Freeman largely won out because of deficiencies with the other petitions.

Knight said the will submitted by Channels was problematic, in part, because he was one of the two witnesses while also sole beneficiary. It was also ambiguous about what would be done with Manson's body other than for Channels to use his judgment as executor.

"All I wanted to do was take the dude's ashes and dump them in the desert where he wanted," said Channels, who said he was more upset that Freeman prevailed over Brunner, who he believes is Manson's legitimate son. "I'm irate. That Jason Freeman, he just pulled the wool over the whole system's eyes."

With all of the excitement around March Madness and the nonstop political coverage on the news, it is easy for a gem of a story such as this one to fall through the cracks.  Trust me, I get it.  There is a lot going on right now: Trump is meeting Kim Jong Un, the single greatest sporting event of the year is upon us, baseball is kicking off, and hockey and basketball playoff races are heating up.  You can't always be up to date on the latest Charles Manson news, I mean who really can these days?

Glad you asked, friend.  I can, and I'm hear to tell you all about it.

First, let us begin with the plaintiffs.  I don't think they are actually plaintiffs since this isn't a criminal case per se, but that's what we are going to call them and we can just let the nerds lawyers sort it out later.  Full disclosure, I am also not sure if that was the correct use of "per se."  

Plaintiff #1 - Jason Freeman.  Alleged Grandson of Charles Manson

Jason is the alleged grandson of Charles Manson. I say alleged because some people* claim he isn't really Charles Manson's grandson at all.  Why a sane person would lie about being related to a sociopathic murderer, I do not know.  He is the big winner in all of this, being granted the lovely gift of a dead body; one that has been sitting in a cooler since November.  It is also the body of a very old dude which, needless to say, definitely makes it all the more gross.  Also has a video online of him with his little kid while the kid is playing with a Charles Manson doll, forehead swastika and all.  The court deemed Mr. Freeman as a "surviving competent adult next of kin," a glowing review.  Clearly they were very impressed.

*Pretty sure the only people accusing him of not being Charles Manson's grandson are the ones he is in a legal battle with.

Plaintiff #2 - Michael Brunner.  Alleged Son of Charles Manson

Brunner is probably one of Manson's bastards.  Aside from someone misspelling Manson's middle name on Brunner's birth certificate there is a lot of evidence that would suggest as much.  He will 100% be suing Freeman again in the near future and is expected to drag this out as much as humanly possible.  He may or may not want the body so he can takes pictures of it and sell them on the internet, an extremely entrepreneurial move.  How much does a photo of a dead cult leading murdered fetch?  Good question, I guess only time will tell.

Plaintiff #3 - Michael Channels.  Memorabilia Collector and Friend of Charles Manson.

Channels is a pretty chill memorabilia collector who just wanted to "take the dude's ashes and dump them in the desert where he wanted."  Interestingly enough, Channels is one of two memorabilia collectors who were friends with the deceased.  There must be some crazy underground market for Manson memorabilia because I can't imagine how much money it would take for me to talk to a psychotic killer on a regular basis.

The Dilemma

Each of these strapping young gentlemen came forth with their own wills claiming to be the rightful heir to the body, as well as his estate which is expected to also be tied up in court for the foreseeable future.  In the end, Freeman won because the other two wills were essentially deemed to be more fake than Freeman's - which is also very possibly fake.  

My Conclusion

Far be it from me to play judge or jury, but I actually think I'm with Brunner here.  What sold it for me, you ask?  

Easy.  The support of Matthew Lentz...another alleged bastard son of Manson.  

The story of Lentz' mother meeting Manson is almost too romantic.  I think it safe to say that it truly was the fairy tale that every girl dreams about when they are little.  If you don't believe me, maybe this will change your mind.

There they were.  Their eyes met across the room of a Wisconsin orgy.  Right off the bat there was undeniable chemistry.  They couldn't tell if it was the booze, the LSD, or just the right amount of both.  Manson walked across the living room, dodging limbs and liquids like Neo from the Matrix, eyes locked on Lentz' nameless mother the entire time.  Upon reaching the end of his brief journey, he walked right up to her and they embraced - Ms. Lentz' pressing her bosom up against the young cult leader.  They hadn't spoken a word to each other, but there was never anything that needed to be said.  That was it...they banged.

What did I tell you?  Super cute, right?  Nothing warms my heart like a good love story.  Unfortunately, it sounds Manson pretty much bailed after he got Matthew's mom pregnant, but you know what they say.  Better to have loved and lost. 

Meatball Thief Arrested Red-Handed But Instead It Was on His Face and All Over His Clothes

Source - Police say a damning clue led to the arrest of a Pennsylvania man charged with stealing a pot of meatballs — red sauce smeared on his face and clothes.

Authorities in Luzerne County have charged 48-year-old Leahman Glenn Robert Potter with burglary, criminal trespass and theft by unlawful taking for allegedly swiping a pot of meatballs from a man's garage on Monday.

Police say the victim reported his meatballs missing and told officers at around 2:30 p.m. Monday that he saw Potter standing in front of his house with red sauce on his face and clothes. The pot was found on the street.

It's unclear if Potter washed the sauce off before he was arrested a short time later.



Not a lot to say about this, from the looks of it we have a pretty open and shut case.  The only thing that I gleaned from this little tale is the fact that Leahman Glenn Robert Potter is a very wild name that belongs to a very weird dude who seems like knows a good time when he sees one.  I mean he's a 48 year old man stealing meatballs out of garages on a Monday afternoon so he's definitely doing something right, or he might just be homeless.  Tough to tell, not a lot of descriptive info outside of the whole covered in sauce bit...

But in all fairness, I have to admit that I would have an equally difficult time passing up a delicious treat like that.  In fact, I would absolutely indulge depending on whether or not I could scope it out.  If we're talking about a lightly monitored cooking operation and I have a more significant window of opportunity, I am 100% making a play on those meatballs.  The veteran move would be to walk over with some bread and cheese, get a few meatballs to complete the sandwich, then bounce.  You eat all the evidence and still maintain peak mobility for a dead sprint should you get discovered in the act.  Easy peasy, nothing to it.

And to be clear I am not saying that I've done this before, but it works really great in the spring and summertime, and graduation parties are optimal.  I'm not telling anyone to do anything, it's just a little something to keep in your back pocket for later.  Just in case.

Jerry Jones vs. the NFL Has My Pants Tight

Source -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will appeal the NFL's decision to seek reimbursement of legal fees stemming from his actions related to Ezekiel Elliott's suspension and commissioner Roger Goodell's contract extension, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The Washington Post first reported Tuesday that Jones had requested the hearing, and that it would be before Goodell.

According to multiple sources, the NFL is seeking in excess of $2 million from Jones, citing a resolution that was added to the NFL constitution in 1997 that says if an owner participates in bringing litigation against other owners, he must reimburse them for the legal fees.

Jones threatened to sue the NFL and retained lawyer David Boies over Goodell's contract, but he never made a filing. The Cowboys offered a letter of support in the Elliott case as the running back fought the NFL's six-game suspension.

"Really don't have any comment," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday. "I'll let Jerry address that at the appropriate time, but don't really have anything to say about that right now."

Stephen Jones said he was not aware of any other time the rule has been enforced, "but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened," he said.

The reimbursement action was generated by fellow owners, not Goodell, and has been approved by the league's finance committee, sources told ESPN's Dan Graziano.



First off I would like to start by saying I don't even understand why this is happening.  It sounds like the NFL is entitled to reimbursement if, and only if, litigation is brought against them.  And even though Jerry Jones 100% threatened to do so, he never actually did.  So I don't really get why the NFL (the owners) is asking for $2 million in the form of "reimbursement."  Wouldn't it be way easier to just fine Jones and the Cowboys a bunch of money for being annoying as fuck?  The league basically did that with the Patriots.  Granted $2 million as a straight up fine is a massive number and pretty unprecedented given the circumstances, but I still feel like it makes more sense than this. 

Either way, that is neither here nor there.  What really matters is the fact that Jerry Jones is already appealing it and clearly has no intention of paying it.  Not only that, but if I know Jerry like I think I know Jerry, he is going to fight this with every fiber of his being - in the courtroom, and in the media.  Press conference temper tantrums, weird leaked information, lots of gossipy teenage girl type stuff, a couple bumbling idiot old guy meltdowns, just an overall pettiness the likes of which we have never seen.

This may very well be his swan song.  The other owners have clearly had enough of Jones' shit.  This is their way of basically saying get in line or get the hell out.  I can't imagine there is a single owner in the league or a single employee in the NFL offices that would have a problem with pushing Jones out of the way and handing the reigns of the Cowboys over to his son, Stephen.  The younger Jones has always operated in a much more traditional manner much more in line with the rest of the league.  Jerry is loud, boisterous, self-promoting, and has been somewhat of a massive headache to everyone in the NFL on about a hundred different occasions.  And now it finally came back to bite him in the ass...Only this is Jerry fucking Jones we're talking about here.  Nobody bites Jerry Jones in the ass and just gets away with it!  I mean he specifically requested Goodell, this is already getting personal.  The man called his shot, now we just wait and see if he can execute.

I mean that, I really do hope he takes every single action he can take.  And here is why: football is just more interesting than other sports.  

Absolutely, baseball and basketball and golf should dominate headlines when football is done, but I still want it peppered in pretty frequently and so does the rest of America. There is a reason the NFL dominates ratings and news - it's ridiculously entertaining, so shove it down my gullet like the fat little glutton I am.  I want this shit dragged out all offseason like Deflategate, and I want Jerry Jones rambling like a goddamn idiot on my TV screen at least once a week.  I hope they televise the appeal, and then the re-appeal and I want 50+ reporters right in Jerr bear's grill immediately after with closeups of his old, leathery face.  So close you can catch glimpses of his jaw clenching as he listens to questions...





God damn...I really miss football a lot already.
