Jay Cutler Needs to Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job


Jay Cutler must envision himself as something great the way he is acting. His situation with new head coach Josh McDaniel's has went from "bad to worse", which is completely unacceptable. This guy has done nothing, what is he whining about? He has not made the playoffs, has a losing career record, and has never had a passer rating over 90. He does have one thing going for him already though, he has already perfected the stupid Manning face. You all know exactly the one I'm talking about, the one where Manning throws a pick and he turns to the sideline and gives the face that says "but, but it wasn't my fault, Reggie ran a post route when clearly I said Red 52 ZX Go and gave the interlocking fingers gesture".

Now while I have never been a fan of the Broncos and actually enjoy their demise, I can't help but to mini-hope that they do OK. I'm talking like 8-8 and not making the playoffs, and that's only because McDaniel's is a former Patriot OC. I'm sure the nostalgia towards him will wear off after this year and I can go back to my full out Bronco hating ways.

Cutler becomes upset when he learns the Broncos were making a play for Matt Cassel, and planned on sending him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now lets give a little comparison. What did Matt Cassel do last year? Oh just filled in for the best QB in the league while guiding the team to an 11-5 record that should have been good enough to make the playoffs if it wasn't for Brett Favre just playing like a kid again. Cassel also finished with a higher passer rating then Cutler has ever had, he is better scrambler than Cutler and is only going to get better. Finally Cassel is a team guy. He has patiently waited his turn to get his shot, he rode the pine until some opportunity came along and he jumped all over it. Cassel was willing to go back to his position as backup (yes obviously for a huge pay increase), but how many people would say that? Even if he didn't mean it, at least he's got the common sense to sound like a good guy. So Cutler I think it's time to put your ego behind you and prove why you should be the man in Denver.

PS. Julio Lugo must have read my blog about him, because of course he decides to start hitting to the clip of .444. Granted its Spring Training, but apparently he despises me as much as I do him...

CentSports.com The Poor Man's Betting Website

Most people think they can make millions on sports betting. In fact I was one of them, I was pretty positive that I could accurately predict games well enough to where I could make money off sports! Seemed easy! Well luckily there is this website called centsports.com, it's a sports betting site that is supported entirely by ads. Including your money to bet with! Granted you start out with 10 cents, but that's ten cents you didn't have yesterday. So basically you spend your entire week creeping your way up to a dollar or eventually catching a break and nailing a 5 game parlay to get a little bank roll going, only to lose it all on a mortal lock of the century like Köln vs Arminia Bielefeld in the Germany Bundesliga 1 league (do you know what that is? yeah neither do I, but it's fun to bet on). So while I'm probably never going to make a cent off this website, it settles my urge for sports betting and also keeps me into some sports I don't watch, or teams I don't pay close attention to.

Let it be known though, that some people do cash out a couple hundred bucks off this website! I've had my own account up to 15$ once only to lose a good chunk on the stupid Vikings beating the Giants in a meaningless game with a meaningless 50 yard field goal as time expired. So I encourage you to check it out and try your hand at making your millions from 10 cents.

Julio Lugo: Man, Myth, or Legend?


The answer? NONE. Julio Lugo is a terrible baseball person. I don't even want to call him a player, because he does nothing to prove that he actually "plays". I think the Red Sox need to explore all options on getting rid of this guy, weather it be trading for a couple of low level prospects or even trading him for a bucket of used BP baseballs, I think it's all worth it. The guy plain and simply cannot hit. This is a normal look at Lugo's stat line.

AB R H BI E
Lugo 4 0 0 0 2

Although more than likely he gave the opposing teams SS some good ground ball practice. I'm pretty sure he grounds out to the left side more than anyone in history. It's like clockwork, if he's up soft grounder to the SS, if someones on base chalk up the double play. The one time I decide to point this out to my friends, what do you think my main man Lugo does? He hits a ball that should have been a pop up to the catcher that some how drifts over the monster. The wind must have been gusting out at about 40 mph.

I really have a dislike for Julio Lugo. I've never not liked a single Sox player (all is fair game if they leave), except for Lugo. This guy gets payed 9M+ to be one of the worst at his position. To put that number into perspective, it would take me approximately 5.3 lifetimes to make what this guy makes one season. Sometimes life just isn't fair. So all I ask of the Red Sox is to please move this guy, someway, somehow. Is Danny Almonte available?
