Braylon Edwards and his posse apparently are rolling Cleveland looking for LeBron and his posse?  What is going on here?  Braylon Edwards, king of the drop and the one year wonder season, decided that he was ALLEGEDLY going to throw a punch at one of LeBron's friends.  And, I want to be honest here, I've made Rocky references my entire life.. but Braylon really can throw a punch like Rocky and even Ivan Drago.  Rumor out of Cleveland.. and even around the NFL is that Braylon's hands are made of stone, literally.  LeBron's friend basically got lit up with a brick to the face.  That had to hurt a little bit.  

Apparently Cleveland isn't big enough for both of them because Bron Bron says that Braylon has jealousy towards him.  The best part of the whole thing is.. who in the heck does Braylon Edwards think he is?  Really?  You want to roll IN Cleveland against LeBron?  Uhhhh.. Bron might be the greatest player in the NBA by the time his career is over.  He's from Ohio.  He's balling in Cleveland; they just made it to the Eastern Conference finals last year.  Did you know that Braylon?  Meanwhile, you had a all things go right Pro Bowl year in 2007.. and then?  Oh.. the Browns went 4-12 in 2008 with you leading the charge with 16 dropped passes.  NICE.  Now, you're in a contract year.. playing for a team that hasn't scored a TD since... well, according to this calendar since this guy was a factor in the NFL.  So, what are you going to do?  Simple.  Instead of going home, going to bed, and coming back ready to work hard on Monday.. why don't you, Braylon, head out on the town with your boys and at 2:30 AM punch a guy that LeBron calls "130 pounds and smaller then my kids."

So, the saying goes that college football is only played on Saturdays and any Saturday.. anything can happen.  This is not always the case as some physical games occur on Friday nights.  Madison.com covered the basics of the story well, but they missed out a few things.. mainly my opinion.  For those of you that didn't click on the link, nearly every year for the past 10 the Wisconsin football managers have played the Iowa football managers in a slugfest of a football game.  The keys here are that the game is supposed to be:  1.  Friendly and 2.  Flag-football. 

This becomes difficult when you are playing against a bunch of grade A douchebags.  I was a part of this game for four seasons, including the famed "Hammergate" in which Iowa claims we illegally used this guy.. illegally.  He was legal, and he was actually pissed at our team because we made him play defense.. he wanted to play running back.  IN A FLAG FOOTBALL GAME.  The guy was mad because we wouldn't let him play RUNNING BACK.  To the day, I'm not sure Coach Hammock knew that a RB in flag football can't do much damage, especially when his game was clearly built off of power and size.  I love you Coach, but lets be serious.. you're not Reggie Bush.  So, moral of the story is we pitched a dominating shut-out.  18-0.  Some say that we looked like the Ravens defense that day, others say that Hammock had Reggie White funneling through him.  Some Iowa fans claim we had 12 defenders in a 7 on 7 game (not shockingly, they were both cross-eyed after being kicked in the head by pigs)  I say, we were just a better team that day.. much like in life.

In an amazing display of terrible, brutal football my team is winless.  It's not like I'm knocking on the door or even pretending to be in close games.  I am BAD.  Brutal.  TERRIBLE.  I feel like the classic winless Bucs, not the Lions of last year.. the team that was so brutal when they asked their head coach, "What do you think of your team's execution?"  He replied, "I'm all for it."  That's how I feel with big name, little production players like Colt McCoy, Julio Jones, and Regis Benn leading the charge.  These guys are stiffs right now, Benn can't find the end zone with a map.  The last time Julio Jones scored gas was under $1.20 a gallon and the internet hadn't been invented yet. 

I don't even want to talk about the problems I've had at TE, right now, I must be running the triple option and my TE's are extra linemen.  I actually think I've been through like 8 on the year, musical chairs.  Mosley gets the boot in Oklahoma State, Saunders can't catch a cold in South Carolina and so on.  It's so bad, that I took LANCE KENDRICKS just so I could cheer more for him during Badger games.. nobody else was scoring anyway.  It's like a bunch of dudes hanging out together on prom night, nothing good is going to happen.  Not surprisingly, when Kendricks showed up in my fantasy football team locker room; he turned in his #84 jersey and asked for #64.

So, things aren't looking good for the NBA right now.  There are a lot of reasons, the economy, it struggles compared to the other sports anyway, superstar bailout calls, the "thug" image, and mainly the fact the refs don't really know how to call the game.  I have a hard time watching somebody get 4 steps through the lane and a 4 second later continuation call; sorry, but that's not basketball.  Toss in the fact that these refs that don't apparently enforce the rules are going to go on strike and they also gamble on basketball.. things aren't looking good.  Teams are desperate to pack the stands.

Don't worry fans!  The Nets have an amazing, really incredible, inspiration, and entirely chaotic way to get fans in teh stands.  Only good things can happen here, and that's a promise.  If you fork out 25g's for 10 games of the team's best seats you can put in a list of players that you want to come hang out with you for an hour.  You can have them at home, a birthday party, the office, or anywhere else you'd like to go.  No word on bachelor parties, hanging out at their house, or even the Gold Club all the guys love so much down in the ATL.  Patrick Ewing knows what I'm talking about.  So, lets say you have the cash and the desire to do this.. you really need to consider your options.  I'll help you take a look at the Nets top guys:
