Ready For War. Fight On!

Last night, Mark Sanchez was awesome. He threaded the needle on a 28 yard slant to J. Co, and shouda hit J. Co in the endzone, but Cotchery dropped it. A rookie QB, against a vaunted defense, doesnt look promising, but Sanchez connected on 13 passes, and led his team to 2 first half td's, and a fied goal.

Our Defense started slow, but realllllllllly picked it up. D. Bo (David Harris) had an awesome interception on a dropped pass. Also, I liked our blitzing, and The Mad Backer giving Brandon Jacobs a lil "Trick Get Off Me" takeaway fumble. I was happy with most everything, minus Lito Shephard, and Reggie Hodgers (our punter)

No need to comment on 2nd and 3rd stringers, as they are what they are.

Kiss The Baby

Efyousports.blogspot.com strikes again. Staten Island, South Shore Little League was eliminated tonight. I really dont care, but, it was pretty cool for my hood to be repped liked that. All good things must come to an end though, and hey, its over. Dems the brakes.

San Antonio jumped out early, and they never looked back. Stat Nylan, hit into 3 double plays tonight, and that was the real reason they lost. They Jorge Posada'd everything. Ya cant win, when you dont hit. Honestly though, Shaq Diesel wished the team from San Antonio good luck before their game via cell phone. How can you lose when you have the Shaqtus behind you? They will be back next year, dont worry. You can take the kid outta staten, but you cant take the staten outta the kid.

L. (dot) On The Spot

Jets vs. Ravens.

Live at M&T Bank Stadium.

Call your Cable Provider for Listings.

Main Event:Survivor Series type matchup. Rex Ryan, Bart Scott, Jim Leonhard, and Marques Douglass vs. Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, and T-Sizzle.

So tonight didnt go as planned, but fuck it, its preseason. As my main mayne Bart Scott said "Joe Flacco got roughed up all preseason last year. He is just fine now". For Mark Sanchez it was going it could have been dessert, or disaster, but my dude decided to have Wing night instead. You get some bad ones, and you get a good one. He will be aiiiiite. He got knocked down, but he just got back up, after it knocked him down. (werd to Kerri Hilson)

I was impressed with L., Greene, and Clowney. I was unimpressed with Woodhead, Cotch, Smith, and various others.

I am going to drop a prediction on ya'll. Week 1 surprise: Vernon Gholston. Might even be GoldSon. Werd to Easy E and his FFL team.

Jets ADED

Bro, Stat Nylan All Day

Staten Island Little League is advancing in the Little League World Series. I'm happy I guess. I mean, I would probably hate these kids if they were my age, but since they are young, and not yet criminals, they are cool.

This team hopefully go pretty far, but time will tell. All of these youngsters adore Jason Marquis. Marquis is a mid rate starter, who happened to have a breakout year. He played on this team in 1991. I hate Marquis now, and if thats any indication, I am going to loathe these kids as well.

From this post, I guess it seems like I am rooting against them, but, it's not true. I am pro Staten Island, I like being in the limelight. So I guess umm.. "Lets a, Lets, a Lets do dis"

TRICK GET OFF ME!

It's finally football season (don't care if it's preseason) and I'm already liking what I see from the G-Men this year... Without the services of Plaxico this year, a lot is put on the back of workhorse Brandon Jacobs. Just watching dude last night against the Bears was a glimpse of things to come this season. My dude went ham on pro-bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher and laid ol' boy out like a bad habit. Peep the footage.



Honestly have a good feeling this season folks. Defense is looking solid (OSI IS BACKKKK), Jacobs is in beast mode, and hopefully the recieving core matures just in time. Only time will tell, how the clock ticks.

Bonus footage: MOJO goes LIGHT'S OUT on that roided bitch Shawn Merriman.

DURANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

Easily, my favorite basketball brothers of all-time I present to you, Tony and his baby bro Kevin... Can you believe one of these dudes happens to be one of the best up and coming studs in the NBA? Because I sure can. Peep this.

If at 1st you dont succeed, go play QB at 'cuse

So everyones favorite overrated Duke point guard is going to Syracuse, NY to START behind center. FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

Greg Paulus was a mid-rate point guard in the ACC, never blossomed into anything, and eventually lost his starting gig to Nolan Smith this past year. After graduation, or whatever he did at Duke, he has decided a bruised ego wouldnt stop him from trying to be mediocre at something else. Two questions arise here, How awful is Syracuse football, and the next, How desperate is Paulus to be good at something? Greg, you arent going to the NFL, and the NBA would laugh at you. Earn your damn degree, and enter the real world. You stank.

Preseason Football

What's the use? I went to the Jets game Friday night, I was effin excited, and I had a great time. Looking back though, what was it all for? Yea I copped a bonedog for the Sanchez_2_ClowneY 48 yard bomb, but what if someone got hurt? Its not unlikely.

Chad Pennington, Osi Umenyioura, Mike Vick, and countless others went down for weeks on end due to the preseason. It's up to the team who is going to play, how long they will play for, and what type of plays will be run while they are in, but you never know. When a star player gets injured in a preseason game, immediately there is a fire storm. People are asking "Why this?" "Why that?", and to be honest, I feel bad for coaches that have to answer those.

Another topic on the preseason that irks me is, the payment for these games. How come season ticket holders are forced to ,pay for these effin games? I am a Jets season holder (yea I know that it;s awesome) and am forced to pay face value of 75 bones to see Money Mark Sanchez for 4 passes, and 1 drive in total? Cmon, gimme a break. 75 bucks a game x2 is 150, plus parking which is 20 bucks a game to see a junky product. Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold, Tony Richardson, Kris Jenkins, Damien Woody, and Alan Faneca did not even dress for this game. If I am seeing a minor league product, shouldnt I pay for one? Thanks Woody Johnson, you fuckin POS.

I think Big Rog should either implement a shorter preseason in the future, or make purchasing these games optional, or much less in price. All this will have to be done after he is done sucking Billy Belicheat off though.

What a rant, I hate the Patriots.

Mark $anchez

Coming off his preseason game vs. the Rams, Mark $anchez has been named the starter in their next game against the Ravens. His first NFL throw was a 48 yard bomb to David Clowney. Clowney has breakaway speed, yes, but this pass was right on the money.

He clearly has the advantage over Kellen Clemens, but they still have to play out the preseason. In my heart of hearts I feel its a lock for Sanchez to start week 1 in Houston, but time will tell.

Rex Ryan is awesome btw, he is a manimal, and I expect huuuuuuuuge things out of him this year. He will really light the fire on this team.

Yankee Baseball Baby

The Yankees are str8 rollin'. There isnt much to say on this topic. They basically have the division on lock, and should rest starters until October. My gripe is still with Jorge Posada though. He is pretty awful. Does it matter what he did in 2003, when we are in year 2009? I dont think so. To my delight though, Molina has been catching a little bit more now, and the pitchers must love it.

Boston is fading, and fading fast. As i write this blog, they are 7.5 games back in the AL East, and only .5 games up on Texas in the Wildcard. It's going to be a rocky end to the season for these losers. I hope they dont make the playoffs. I feel like that would be ultimate servage.

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Eric is in espana, and Johnny Man is ballin' out in Las Vegas. It's all on me now. Updates to come. I promise

JETNATION!

Its Monday night, you know what that means? YESSIR, Jets are only 4 nights away.

Friday night, Jets/Rams, at the Mecca. Be there, or be square.

I couldnt be more excited for a season if I tried. So many things to wonder about. Whats the Jets defense going to be like? What is Mark Sanchez all about? Will Boom Boom Pow (Jones. L., and Greene) be all that its being advertised as? Rex Ryan, is he better than his dad Buddy? More questions are up in the air, but I can tell you one thing: Come September 13th, meet me at the mall..

ITS GOING DOWN

Jets/Texans. Opening Day. 2009-2010 season, is going to be special.

Also, for all our fans out there, Mikey Fellz, James, Myself, and Joe will be hosting a tailgate if ya'll wanted to stop by and talk to your favorite bloggers. 16B. All are welcome. Please bring your own damn food though. We in a recession people.

$ELL OUT! vol. "Instant Buckets"

Well aside from Football finally kicking off last night, this past week hasn't been the greatest for me when it comes to the world of sports. First off, we all know about my damn injury depleted Mets... On top of that, the Yanks completed their sweep of the Sox last night. But the cherry on the top of my shitty sports week occurred this morning when I saw that my boy, "Mr. Instant Offense" Von Wafer, had signed a 2-year $5.5 million dollar contract to play with Greek powerhouse Olympiakos.

Von Wafer was my dude last year. Like my dude J.R. Smith, he made explosive plays out of basically nothing. Really the only reason why I cheered for the Rockets in the first place. But now, he's sold out the NBA to play in the less superior Euroleague. I mean, the Euro League is basically like the CFL. Or the D-League. Busch League.... All for that $$$$.

It's not he's seeing Josh Childress money by jumping over there. The competition over there is far less superior. Thriving over there (if he does) is like me dropping a c-note in a pee-wee b-ball league.

It's whatever, dude had to do what he needed to get paid. I'd like to see my him back in the NBA after it's all said and done. But until then, I'm seriously considering NOT getting a Von Hawk for Trios trip to New Orleans. If you got a problem with that, blame VON WAFER.

LoL of the Night

Guess the pitcher? 0.0 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 5 ER

KROD..

AHHAHAHAH..

AROD hit a walkoff homer vs. Boston tonight. ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the A-Rod lovers were back in full force.. ahahah.. Good for A-Rod.. He deserves it all. What a player

I Make It Rain On Them Hoes, I Make It Rain!

This morning, New York Giants Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning received a six-year extension for a BALLLLLLIN $97.5 million dollars, making him one of the highest paid player in the NFL. His deal just inches out Oakland stud shut down cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha who signed a three-year extension for 45.3 millie. Now I personally don't think we should have given Eli that much, because I think he's be more than happy with let's say an 88 millie dollar extension? But hey, as long as it doesn't punish our salary cap that much I'm all for it. Even if he were to suck dick the rest of his life, I've witnessed my G-Men win a Super Bowl. And he pretty much key to their win. So pay the man his monayyyyyyyyyyy!

Done From The Start! vol. Super Bowl XXXV

I dedicate this post for those of us who've played competitive sports back in the day. Whether it was Little League, CYO Basketball, etc.... Have you ever just looked at the opposing team and thought to yourself, "Shit, we're fucking done son!" And this is before the game has even started.

The opposing team was probably bigger, stronger, faster, more intimidating, and straight up scary! Well, this was most likely the case during the Super Bowl in 2001 between my beloved New York Giants and the Baltimore Ravens. I remember watching the introductions for the Ravens. They were a scary bunch mayne. Just look at the intensity, focus, and terror that the Ravens defensive line gives off. Ray Lewis was going all out like "Ram Band" during Towson's fight song.

But yeah, I knew from the start that the G-Men were in for a long night... No intensity whatsoever. I knew the Ravens had come to tear shit up and get things done! But hey, we got ours in XLII. =)

I SWAG WHEN I SURF!

One things for sure after last night's 100m butterfly event in Rome: Michael Phelps still swags when he surfs. Literally. Leading into the highly anticipated showdown between Phelps and American-born Serb Milorad Cavic, the Serbian berated the Olympic gold medalist continuously with trash talk.

The salty 25-year-old still bitter about his defeat in the same event in last years Olympic final in Beijing made the pre-race headlines interesting when he lambasted Phelps for staying sticking with his Speedo swimsuit and deciding to stay loyal to his longtime sponsor. Cavic offered to personally buy and deliver a more "superior" and "faster" swimsuit made by Arena. Following an epic showdown in last years Olympic games, Cavic continued to stick to the thought that he had beated Phelps in a close race despite video evidence not in his favor. Unfortunatley for Cavic, Phelps pretty much murked dudes swim career and temporarily shut ol' boy up when he defeated him again in world-record fasion.

This dude Cavic is STILL on Phelps jock, proposing a "duel" for 2010 since the two most likely won't meet again until 2011. Earth-to-Cavic. You got sonned TWICE in the same event. Stop talking and stop throwing out challenges when you're in no position too. Be lucky if you still have a sponsorship with Arena when all this is done.

The epic L of the month goes to you Milorad Cavic. You're DONE son.

Hip Hip Joseeeeeeeeeee'

Q:How awful is Jorge Posada?
A: As awful as they come

Jorge Posada, is a 4-6-3 machine. He is so much a machine, Energizer Hodings released Q2 earnings, and thanked Jorge Posada for his double play prowess. Him being a 4-6-3 machine has kept them from hitting the red.

What does Joe Girardi see in Posada? What I see is this, an old catcher, earning upwards of 10 millie a year, who has been the culprit in the NEW Yankee stadium's first wall replacement. No not from doubling off the center field wall, but the backstop had to be replaced. Yea, too many balls were getting passed Jorge, the wall was too dented, and not getting a true bounce.

This team, and its fans need Jose Molina behind the plate. Give up the bat sorta, and get the pitchers right, and the team winning again.
