Cal's DeSean Jackson, laughing at Marshawn

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:17:04 -0500

Last night EA Sports held its NCAA Football '09 release party. Each competing console features a different player on the cover, and Cal's DeSean Jackson got "stuck" with being on the cover of PS2, which I put in quotes because, even though PS2 sounds second-rate, it's head and shoulders above your video-game-cover achievements. Unless you happen to be Sonic the Hedgehog. That dude was money. When I heard DeSean was at the party, I tracked him down, whipped out my phone, and pulled up the Yard on my mobile browser. I wanted to show him Marshawn Lynch's Yardbarker blog post from yesterday, in which Lynch said, and I quote the Beast: "last year n da draft it was ma turn...dis year i got 2 cuzins cummin to join me ....(Head) josh johnson best QB n da draft and (jizzle) rob jordan best WR n da draft..." Marshawn's former teammate DeSean may not be the best wide receiver in the Draft. Maybe it's Early Doucet (LSU) or Devin Thomas (Michigan State) or Malcolm Kelly (Oklahoma). Personally I think it's Michigan's Mario Manningham. But I do know this much: It's definitely not Rob Jordan, who frankly might not even get drafted. Marshawn's just being a homer. Jordan's his cousin. DeSean read the post, shook his head and laughed. "That's Marshawn." - Dewey

Fantasy Football: Who Will Be the Impact Rookies?

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:06:11 -0500

With NFL Pro Days sweeping local universities across the nation, it is time for fantasy sports fans to start planning how to respond to this year's crop of rookies. After all, let's face it, none of us saw Arian Peterson coming, nor the consistency of Marshawn Lynch and the disappointment of JaMarcus Russell. So who are the top rookies for the upcoming season?

Fantasy Football Bruno Boys - Who Would You Rather Own In 2008?

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:32:22 -0500

With fantasy football drafts less than 9 months away, the Bruno Boys bring to you their first segment of "Who Would You Rather Own in 2008". Bruno Boys Fantasy Football writers Marc Caviglia and Chris Ziza give you their expert analysis on which players they are targeting heading into 2008. ——————————————————— 1. QB Tom Brady (NE) or QB Tony Romo (DAL) or QB Peyton Manning (IND) Bruno Boys Caviglia: Give me Tom Brady baby! We all know Brady's 50 touchdown passes will be tough to repeat, but even if he throws between 35-40 touchdowns, he still is the top quarterback heading into 2008. If Brady's on the board late in the first round, I'd take the gamble on him. However, if you are looking for consistency, than you have to go with Peyton Manning. In his 10 year NFL career, he has never thrown for less than 26 touchdown passes and has surpassed 4,000 passing yards in 8 of those 10 seasons. Finally, if you consider yourself a risk taker, think about Tony Romo. He is fresh off a 36 touchdown season, and has the receiving corps to have another stellar season. Bruno Boys Ziza: To me that is a tough one. Tom Brady is coming off a career year, but it seemed as if by the end of the season teams had figured them out some, and I believe the Patriots will be going to more of a running game. Manning was consistent as always, but not worthy of his normal first round draft status and Tony Romo had a very solid, yet unspectacular season. My money would be on Peyton Manning. As much as I am sure Brady would be the popular choice to most, Manning is the only QB on this board that has put up great numbers year after year. Falling back to reality somewhat would not surprise me with Brady, making Manning the man I would call on if I were in need of a QB. ——————————————————— 2. QB Philip Rivers (SD) or QB Jay Cutler (DEN) Bruno Boys Ziza: To me, this is a no-brainer. Even when the Chargers brought in Chris Chambers, Philip Rivers never was able to find any type of consistent production. Jay Cutler, on the other hand, had less weapons to work with, went through some growing pains, but he is now entering his third full-season. I expect him to grow even more this year, and since it is starting to look as if Rivers may never piece things together, my money is on Cutler. Bruno Boys Caviglia: One of the guys I will be targeting in all leagues next year is Jay Cutler. Last year, Cutler threw 12 TD's to 6 INT's over the last 8 games, and finished the season with a 63.6 completion percentage, which is good for 3rd all-time in Denver Broncos history. With Brandon Marshall deveolping into a top tier wide receiver and the Broncos starting to properly use Tony Scheffler, Cutler should be a top 10 quarterback in 2008. As for Philip Rivers, he also caught fire towards the end of the season (11 TD's to 5 INT's over the last 8 games), but overall he dipped in production from 2006 to 2007. I believe both quarterbacks are fantasy football worthy, but with the San Diego Chargers having the better running game, it will be Cutler who has more opportunity to shine and post better statistics in 2008. ——————————————————— :: click on the link below to get fantasy analysis on over 25 key players::

Buffalo Bills Release 4 Players

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:39:54 -0500

Suprised with the release of veterans Coy Wire and Anthony Thomas. Wire was not a full-time starter, but a hard worker and a definite fan favorite. A-Train may have hit a crossroads due to the emergence of Fred Jackson. Obviously, Marshawn Lynch is a superior back, and is poised for a Pro-Bowl season. The Bills have a strong 1-2 punch for the running back position. Wish the best for the released players. Check out the link for all information. GO BILLS!!

2008 Fantasy Football Mock Draft - PPR League

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:54:24 -0500

On a cold, wintry night in Denver, eight fantasy football experts gathered for one of the first Mock Drafts of the 2008 season. They represented a wide variety of backgrounds and companies, each bringing a unique perspective to the drafting process. The league starts one quarterback, two wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, one flex (wide receiver or running back), one kicker, and one defense. The league is scored using a standard Yahoo scoring system, with the only exception being all receptions count for one point. Now, onto the results!

Marshawn Lynch Loves Oompa Loompas

Apparently, for Marshawn, sex symbol Paris Hilton just can't compare to a small orange man. I guess that's just how we do in da Bay, mayne, yaddada?

Fox Super Bowl Broadcast Can Be Saved by One Man...Beast Mode

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:24:15 -0500

Yes, we finally hit on it. We almost want to pat ourselves on the back. It was so obvious, we're almost embarrassed it's taken this long. But better late than never. We've finally identified the one thing that could make tomorrow's FOX Super Bowl broadcast commentary more tolerable. The one personality who could deliver ratings that even Super Bowls of this caliber have failed to achieve. The one person who could bring a level of insight and commentary that would only be described as priceless. The potential ace up FOX's sleeve. Yes, ladies and gentelmen, we want Marshawn Lynch...

Marshawn's take: Does Tom Brady get hyphy?

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:29:37 -0500

Hyphy is one of those words that's difficult to define accurately. It's often used to describe eccentric types lacking inhibition. The folks who ghost-ride scrapers -- gas, brake, dip! -- and wear stunna shades at sideshows. The same ones who go dumb at the club. If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's OK. Neither do I. That's why when I use the word I think of it as a synonym for greatness. Watch the video to see if Marshawn Lynch agrees or whether he'll put me on "Mac Blast" for misrepresenting the Bay. Honestly, when I asked Marshawn whether or not Tom Brady gets hyphy, his "What!!?" response and fierce stare made me a little nervous. I had absolutely no idea what to expect next. None whatsoever. - Dewey
