Thoughts at Random

- Baltimore fans are feeling what Bills fans felt the last few years- that Willis McGahee often seems to not try- often near the end zone. Just watching a couple of Ravens' drives this season- where Willis just stutters as he doesn't know whether to take it outside or smash into the line- it makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off my back- and thrust upon Ravens fans.


- Ian Thomsen of Sports Illustrated recently wrote about Larry Brown and his decision to stay in Philadelphia, instead of going to be an "assistant" under Doc Rivers in Boston (or numerous other college jobs).

Thomsen says at one point in the article: "But his meetings with Snider (76ers owner) and 76ers president Billy King convinced Brown to stay in Philadelphia, where he and wife Shelly are raising their young family."

Larry, you just got like a $40-million buyout from the Knicks- you want to live in Philly? Don't you have a house in Malibu? You can live anywhere you want in the country- in the WORLD even, and you pick Philadelphia? I have nothing against Philly, I like Philly- but come on, Larry. Your kid could've been so much nicer a person.



- I can't watch Jesse Palmer. Not that he's an idiot or anything, I just can't physically look at him. He looks like the epitome of a douche bag. Even the douchiest of the frat boys at Syracuse University or the douchiest wannabe actor I see out at a bar here in LA- they don't compare with Jesse Palmer. I just want to punch him in the face. Yet, I don't hate him- I can't explain it.



- Talked about intensely over 2 months ago, ESPN2 again showed Darren McFadden's pimped out Crown Vic during the Kentucky at Arkansas game on Saturday. Making it on blogs is one thing, but letting ESPN cameras come and film your ride which has at least $10,000 worth of "extras" on it, seems a bit overconfident. Where is D-Mac getting all this money from? As far as I know, his mother has been in jail and was addicted to drugs, but even if someone in his family has money- don't flaunt it like that. I'm not saying he's getting paid- I'm just going to leave saying people in Arkansas take their football seriously.
