Da Business

This is already on most of the major blog players (Awful Announcing, Deadspin, With Leather, etc.), but I had to post it on here.

I will preface this by saying I severely dislike Ron Cherry and he is obviously plagiarizing, but this is definitely hilarious in both instances. Also kind of funny that the announcer screws up the penalty call not once, but TWICE!

Enjoy!

Tragic

Being a Seminole fan, it's hard to ever root for a Hurricane. This situation, however, is far beyond being a fan. It's about being a human being.

After the tough injury on the field to Kevin Everette, a former Cane and Bills player, and now the off-the-field shooting of Sean Taylor, a Washington Redskin and former University of Miami product, its hard to not root for these guys to make it.

Taylor was shot in his home in South Florida by an apparent attacker at his home in Miami. The unfortunate incident shows how professional athletes are targets. Whether its in public at a club or at home, these guys are targets to predators and idiots who think they can make a quick buck. With past instances this summer in Chicago involving NBA players being burglarized and robbed, this apparently is becoming a discouraging trend.

I know some of you out there will call Taylor out for previous transgressions including brandishing a gun in an argument over all-terrain vehicles, late hit fines, and skipping meetings, but that's not what the point is here. It's about the need for athletes to always protect themselves no matter the environment. To a greater extent, it's important we all watch out for our well-being no matter the situation.

It's tragic that this has happened. All of our thoughts and prayers should go out to Taylor, no matter his athletic affiliation.

Redskin teammate Pierson Prioleau said it best today, "This is not just a member of the Washington Redskins. But we're talking about a dad, a brother, a friend of ours."

It's no wonder that many of these superhuman athletes seek out the help of bodyguards and personal protection...

UPDATE: Obviously, we all heard the sad news that Taylor passed away. All thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Sorry "All Day"

Well, it looks like the podcast might have jinxed Adrian Peterson's unbelievable rookie season. Peterson went down yesterday with a sprained knee after a vicious hit to his leg by Al Harris. Peterson is scheduled for an MRI today.

To all those fantasy football players who have been counting on "All Day" all season...my sincerest apologies. If it makes you feel any better, I've got him on my team as well, so I wasn't happy to see that play either!

Podcast!!!

Ok, fine people...I've decided to give it a shot and put up a podcast.

Of course, its only the first one, but give it a listen and let me know what you think...good or bad.

I think you will enjoy it...at the very minimum, the opening and closing has some funny stuff!

Here it is:
