Not to worry. Angry Ken has returned after a short hiatus (Even the most creative geniuses need a break, ahem).
Anyway, now that the NFL preseason is underway, we are hearing the same arguments and complaints we hear every at this time; “four preseason games is too much. Players get hurt in meaningless games, blah blah blah.”
After Clinton Portis injured his shoulder trying to make a hard tackle, I think he said something like “Man I don’t why we gots to be havin this many games in preseason man. It’s rudikuliss man. I know I’m good. I don’t need to be playin man.”
You get the idea. He wouldn’t be whining if he hadn’t gotten himself hurt. It’s football dumby. People get hurt all the time. It’s part of the job. If you don’t want to play in the preseason. Tell your coach to sit your ass.
My opinion on preseason is this: I really think only two or three games are needed. The ones that really want all four are the guys trying to make a team, so naturally they want as many opportunities to play as they can get. But honestly, I don’t really care if they keep it at four games. I don’t know that the NFL should go to 18 regular season games just yet either.
Not to worry though. Once the regular season starts, this whole topic will disappear, for now, and Portis can go back to sporting his “please look at me” sequined glasses and George Clintonesque threads while talking about how bad his team is. In other words, I don’t think Washington is going to be very good this year.

OK, I’m sorry Portis got hurt. BUT WASN’T THAT HIT AWESOME!!! I love defensive plays.

If we’re going to bring up the topic of showboats in the NFL, a certain Chad Johnson comes to mind.
As for the pre-season, players need to stop whining about it. The starters only play one or two series and they’re done. I’d do a lot more for a lot less if the coach asked it of me. And I mean that in a football tone, not anything else you dirty fools.

I laughed right after Portis made that hit because as hard as it was, he was the one that didn’t get up, instead of the other way around.
Chad Johnson is hilarious. Go Bengals!

I love Chad! And this year he has a whole story planned for every game all ready! Let the fines begin!
August 15th, 2006 at 3:57 pm
Any player who puts as much emphasis on having shenanigans planned out for the year is an attention whore and they irk me.
I miss the Barry Sanders’ of the NFL. Play the game and let your talent do the talking.
GO STEELERS!

I do prefer the Barry Sanders ideology, but Chad is different. He doesn’t disrupt the team goal with his antics. He just likes to have fun. It doesn’t get in the way of the bigger picture, ala T.O.

Remember the time Bobby Boucher (Boo-shay) showed up at halftime and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl?
August 15th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
LOL!

Aah, I like a man who can reference one of my fave movies of all time!
August 16th, 2006 at 7:07 am
LOL I love that movie!

watching football cuts into valuable time that your hairless monkey ass could be using to sell retail.
August 16th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
You know who reminds me of Bobby Boucher, only not as smart and can’t play football?
August 16th, 2006 at 5:02 pm
Uhm, Sgt. Poon?
Am I right? :-p
August 16th, 2006 at 5:11 pm
Oooh. So close, but wrong.
August 17th, 2006 at 7:07 am
any time wussy boi
August 17th, 2006 at 8:27 am
What the hell is up with the “boi” stuff?
I think we need to hold a cage match between Ken and nemesis… I doubt either one has the balls to show up though…
August 17th, 2006 at 9:55 am
I’m in a cage match once a week down at Stuckey’s Bar ‘n’ Grill. Great baked potato.
August 17th, 2006 at 10:48 am
Can you guys just finally do this so nemesis can get his ass checked!

There 28 states that do not have NFL football teams, so what do they do watch on Sunday? Do they cheer for other
state teams?
Who would have believed that so much money would be involved with an un-round ball?
