Matt Bush… what a wasted draft pick for the Padres… Hey JaMarcus, a few other sports players have gone on the nutrisystem diet, why not give it a chance?

Finally a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf? I say he’s out of football within two years.

By Chris on Apr 27, 2010
Let’s fave it this is all his doing. He sat out the first year, for more money. The second year he played like a sh..t. This guy should have never been in the NFL in the beginning. And now, he just don’t care. Made alot of money doing nothing. Just go away!!!!!!!!

Bigger bust then leaf….lol What a joke you would have to be a someone first at least leaf had a good college game, The only reason he was ever someone was the coach and team he had around him at LSU, russell is a joke quaterback always was and always will be, thank god the rest of the world has, caught on, as for campbell good luck oakland maybe they should look at what he did in college also nothing great running backs, and some how someone thinks he’s got talenet, hope oakland don’t look at campbell to take them back to the promise land….lmao

Just another thug with no character who doesn’t make it in professional sports. Not everyone can be Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but this guy doesn’t even try. He’s a Pacman Jones in the making, and will be out of the NFL and into prison soon.

Dave,
Borderline? That’s being kind. Just deleted a comment. Try to keep it clean and non-racist please folks.

Thanks.

C’mon billbo0925, seriously? The guy doesn’t pan out as a QB and suddenly he’s a thug who’s going to jail? Enjoy your next Tea Party gathering…

my comment was deleted and was called racist — not just borderline. really?
fat and greasy are not exclusively african american traits. ever heard of fast food? it is an american favorite, and last i checked, obesity affects every race.
plenty of other races have people who fit large and greasy profiles — rosie o’donnell, that chinese kid who sang a whitney houston jam on the internet, emiril and an array of latino comics. i guess grease is too politically hot to discuss on the internet.
i am, in fact, multi-racial (mostly hispanic, so don’t get too offended by the latino comic line). my old man is proud of his greasiness and his rubbing of a rag on his skin is where i got my inspiration for my original comment.
nothing about what i said seemed offensive. it was a joke. there are far worse jokes being told on network television (e.g. family guy) and cable (e.g. south park, dave chapelle, etc.). so, to have my comment deleted from the web with no use of racial slur, foul language or violent racial scenario seems odd (note: from what i understand, being made into soap is a voluntary practice and no more violent than applying hand moisturizer or watching the notebook.)
furthermore, grease is something that proactive acne solutions fights against and their poster child is the whitest teen on earth — hayden pantierre. what? not way. she’s not a minority how can she be greasy? well, because all races are affected by oily skin.
so, where is the racism? russell is out of the league, likely depressed and looking for work. i suggested a ridiculous number of odd jobs in his future. finding work as soap or grease are so far fetched that i hardly think they qualify as realistic opinions beyond football; rather, i believe my suggestions are more so satire — not pornographic and obscene.
satire: protected under the first amendment. pornographic and obscene: not as much.
sorry i offended anyone, but i would suggest this: lighten up — the author of this post made light of corey haim’s premature death and that seemed ok. probably the satirical nature of the joke, i guess.

Looks like we had quite the brouhaha while I wasn’t paying attention. I think everybody just needs to calm down or JaMarcus will be sent to sit on you.

By Hick Flick on Apr 28, 2010
AO,
Fair enough but remember, the first amendment just says “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech or of the press”

We’re not Congress, we’re a sports blog. Sorry if we all misinterpreted the context of your comment but we have to err on the side of not being offensive.

I do appreciate your follow up comment.

By Phillips on Apr 28, 2010
cool, i just didn’t want to be a faceless racist, so i followed up with what my intent of the comment was.
next time i’ll just say he should find work as an inflatable playground for kids to jump on.

By ao on Apr 28, 2010
AO,
See that’s funny and you can’t question it haha.

Feel free to comment any time.

By Phillips on Apr 28, 2010
I love the Fox News comment.

By Cousin Charlie on Apr 28, 2010
i was actually also referring to the comment about assuming he’s a thug, even more so than the grease comment. I wasn’t sure if the grease comment was referring to him being black or the fact that he was fat, but the thug comment implies that a black nfl guy will resort to being a thug as soon as he finds some free time. Russell may be lazy in terms of putting in the work needed to be an nfl qb, but there are also plenty of accounts of him being a decent human being. The dude housed hurricane victims while in college.

Did you know?

Instead, Mourinho, football’s King of Mischief, its master tactician and intimidator, will take his determined, bloody-minded Inter team, who defended like demons in the Nou Camp last night and withstood a furious late surge from Barcelona, to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Bayern Munich.

There, either he or Bayern manager Louis Van Gaal will become only the third manager to win the European Cup with two different sides.

Barca coach Pep Guardiola sprang a minor surprise by including Yaya Toure at the expense of a recognised left-back but Mourinho (right) trumped that.

He had been evasive all week about whether Goran Pandev would play and, having named him in the initial starting line-up, Mourinho claimed he had been injured in the warm-up and, amid immediate claims of dirty tricks, replaced him with Christian Chivu.

Barcelona started fast. Pedro whistled a shot wide after two minutes. Messi ran at Esteban Cambiasso. Thiago Motta, who had claimed on the eve of the game that Barcelona were divers, was booked for felling Dani Alves.

The temperature inside the cauldron rose and rose. Mourinho prowled the touchline in his sharp black suit.

The crowd howled and screamed when Maicon was slow to get up from a challenge. Inter had begun their time-wasting early.

Barcelona began to threaten more. Messi kept finding space between the Inter defence and midfield. Xavi nearly made room for a shot with a sublime turn, Zlatan Ibrahimovic nodded a cross down when he could have gone for goal, Pedro flicked a volley just wide.

Then, after 28 minutes, the game exploded. Motta fended off a challenge from Sergi Busquets by flinging his arm backwards.

Busquets went down with a grand flourish but couldn’t resist peeking through his hands to see if he had achieved his objective. He had. The referee brandished the red card at Motta.

Inter went mad. Mourinho strode towards the Barcelona bench and applauded them sarcastically. Motta was incredulous.

Rather than accept his fate, he chased after Busquets and grabbed his head to let him know what he thought of his cheating.

There was no reprieve for Motta but even though it did not feel like it in the Nou Camp, in that moment Barcelona lost their reputation as guardians of all that is good in the game. Motta was right, after all, when he had said they were divers.

Inter seemed inspired by the injustice that had been visited upon them. Lucio and Walter Samuel were superhuman, throwing themselves into tackles, hurling themselves into blocks. Everything seemed to be going against them.

When Wesley Sneijder was left writhing in pain on the floor by a Gerard Pique tackle, the referee allowed play to continue.

Messi played on and Chivu took matters into his own hands, halting his run rudely with a crunching challenge that sent Messi tumbling. The stadium erupted in anger again. Chivu was booked.

Somehow Inter made it to half time without conceding. At half time Mourinho confronted some of the Barcelona players in the tunnel. His revenge was to try to kill the game as every Inter player dropped back behind the ball. The crowd’s cheers of encouragement gave way to shrill whistles of frustration. Messi’s shoulders sagged.

Barcelona’s momentum faded away. Mourinho had stifled them.

When Pique conjured a goal from nowhere with six minutes left the Nou Camp came alive again. But it was too late.

Definitely, this one facts are significant

April 29th, 2010 | Author: zacharynieves1967

Motivation, good coaching skills, great tactical awareness, and good deals in the transfer market are just some of the main skills needed to be a great manager; if you are not built up on the main skills then you will seriously fail in the football managerial world. Since the Premier League began many good managers have come and gone and some have just stayed here all the way so far, or since they came to England.

When I think about the best managers in the Premier League I think about silverware, trophies, and success, there have been a few greats in the past 16 years. Since the league began Manchester United have been kings of English football all thanks to a Scottish managerial genius named Sir Alex Ferguson. He brought up local home grown talent like David Beckham and Ryan Giggs and combined it with fantastic signings such as Roy Keane and Eric Cantona. After Blackburn one the first Premier League title Fergie knew that he had to purchase players and improve the team over the summer, so he did. Bringing in several new faces to fill the gaps that the youngsters were not ready to step up to yet he managed to bring the title to Manchester, which is where it would stay until 1998 with no other club even threatening United's crown. Fergie's management style was based around belief and motivation more than the tactical side of things, he is also well known for nurturing youth talent well and bringing them to the top of the game, he has many young gems turned to superstars to show for it.

Another great Premiership manager is Arsene Wenger. When he came to Arsenal in 1996 Wenger had a lot to sort out, as Arsenal were going downhill and so were the facilities at the club. Arsene had to sort out the training as it was poor, he had to start up a proper youth academy, and many changes were needed to be made to an ageing Arsenal side. In Wenger's first full season at Arsenal he managed to pip the kings United to the Premiership trophy in the last 10 games of the season. This was to be the start of a new era for the Gunners. It was a dry few years after the 1997/1998 season as Wenger made many changes to the team, but in 2001/2002 they were back as they done a fantastic double, in superb style. Quick slick passing was the new style for Arsenal under Wenger and they were playing the most stylish football in the league while winning trophy's with it. Arsenal went a whole season unbeaten in 2003/2004 breaking Brian Clough's record of 42 games without defeat at Forest; the Gunners set the new high of 49 games without defeat. Wenger is well known for buying unknown young players and turning them into world class footballers, and playing the best football on offer. In my opinion Wenger is a true Premier League Legend.

Another great manager was Jose Mourinho who fell into a fantastic fortune of billions of pounds at Chelsea, which he spent very wisely and managed to create a dream team. The man known as 'the special one' was a pure tactical genius and knew exactly what he was doing over his time in England. He won 2 league titles in his 3 seasons in the Premier League and trophy wise is the 3rd most successful boss so far. The guy was a pure genius, if you were there too witness Chelsea over these 3 seasons, you will know what I mean.

Overall I think that the best manager in the history of the Premiership so far is Sir Alex Ferguson. He has just racked up so many titles for United that it is unbelievable that such dominance could come upon a competitive league like this. Respect to Wenger and Mourinho for their part they are the other two great managers since the dawn of the league, but Fergie respectively takes top prize in my opinion.
