Lebron on the radio last week was talking about how no one should ever be allowed to wear the number #23 and play basketball at the same time. Started to think about other famous athletes and numbers. Let's start a list and see if we can get to 50 of numbers that should never be worn again because the current athlete will never live up to the hype!

Yankees Look Out
Look out!
If A-Rod is going to be a guy who does things - like his home run in first round vs. Twins and his tying home run to send game into extra innings last night vs. the Angels, the Yankees are going to be tough to beat.
Yankees weakness is still Robinson Cano.

ACC Football
Va Tech vs. Ga Tech in a battle of the #4 and #19 ranked teams in the country and there were empty seats in the corners of the stadium.
UVA vs. Maryland crowd looked about the same as the Brown vs. Princeton Ivy league football game attendance.
ACC football just doesn't matter. They should not be given an automatic BCS bid, their bid should go to the Boise State crowd of mid-majors.

Notre Dame
In evaluating their chances, Mark Cuban, the owner of the NBA Mavericks, had a great comment when someone asked him who he thought would win.
Paraphrasing but it went something like this, "I'll take the future professional football players to beat the current student athletes."
Accurate!

Gilbert Arena's Silence
The Agent Zero who came up with the provocative blog now goes silent and says he is done talking to the media. Then he gets fined 25,000 and the Wiz get fined an additional 25,000. Then he speaks.
Just like his game, Gilbert lacks stick-to-it-ness. Remember when he said he wasnt' going to shoot anymore, lasted about 4 games. Remember when he was going to be a lock down defender, lasted about a week,. Now he goes silent, until fines and disgruntlement sets in.
Gilbert's demeanor very very similar to Clinton Portis.

Jurgensen
Sonny Jurgensen, ex-QB of Redskins, actually stated this week that the Redskins would be 5-0 if they started Todd Collins.
Ouch!
Ouch!

Preseason NBA Tats
Not sure who gets the award for most asinine tattoo added this offseason.
The Birdman's huge blue bird which looks a lot like the Atlanta Hawk's logo wrapping around his collarbone or DeShaun Stevenson who tattooed Abe Lincoln to his Adam's Apple.
Since both guys are idiots, it's hard to rationalize any of it but I guess I would say that Stevenson's is the more stupid, since he could have tattooed Ben Franklin there and represented a 100 dollar bill instead of a dinky ol' 5 dollar bill.

Sherman Lewis' Eyes
Supposedly Sherman Lewis, coming off the retirement home bingo circuit, was the 'extra set of eyes' all week with the Redskins.
Offense still looks horrible with one week of his input.
Maybe if we would have run plays called B5 or G34 his eyes could have helped.

Cincinnati Bengals
Carson Palmer leads the Bengals down the field 80 yards against the Ravens defense. Ray Lewis hit with a huge penalty and the Ravens have two pass interferences called against them.
Ravens fans serenaded the officials with the "officials suck" cheer. So loud it came through clear as a bell on the TV.
Ravens defense is not the same without Rex Ryan.

Boston Red Sox Exit
The Red Sox are a quick exit out of the playoffs. Watched the last two innings and I noticed something. There are no black people at the game. Are blacks allowed to go to Red Sox games or do they have to travel down to NY to watch the Mets. Just asking?
Redskins
Stink! Not sure what their plan is. I've never seen a team that has to call a TO every time they have 3rd or 4th and one yard. Jim Zorn has this huge laminated card with 1000 plays on it and none of them are a list of "plays to run on 3rd and short". What a mess.
And DeAngelo Hall is a bum. Can't cover and can't tackle. I think he is only probing around looking for interceptions at the expense of playing football.
Did I mention that Jason Campbell stinks too.

Baseball Playoff Prediction
Picks are the Angels and the Cardinals. Ever since the advent of the wild card the favorite very rarely wins.
Not a big fan of the Yankee pitching and the Red Sox just seem like they are a piece away. Dodgers with Manny are starting to get used to each other and they seem to have fallen off.
If not the Angels or Cards, then I would go with Phillies.

Brett Favre
Well, now we know why Green Bay didn't want to play against him. Favre made some unbelievable throws.
However, I do think in a little bit the Vikings are going to have some 'team issues' as Adrian Peterson starts thinking about how many carries he is losing with Favre doing so much passing.

JaMarcus and Vince Young
I refuse to rank them as Black QBs.
JaMarcus isn't a QB, he just takes the first snap from center. There is nothing he does that makes him a QB. He's usually 9-17 for about 54 yards no TDs and 3 picks. So he doesn't get ranked in post below.
Vince Young was the starting QB and lost it to Kerry Collins. One is an emotional mess and the other one was a drunk. If you become the starting QB because your issues are worse than your competition, that is not winning a starting job.

Rating Black QBs
Okay, you've asked for it. Here goes:
1. McNabb
2. Vick
3. Jason Campbell
4. David Garrard
5. Byron Leftwich
6. Tavaris Jackson
God, what a horrible list.
Couple of things
1) The Eagles have the two best black QBs on the same team.
2) Jason Campbell who is the 6th best QB in the NFC East is clearly the 3rd best black QB, since Garrard barely beat out Leftwich a couple of years ago and Jackson got beat out by a retired/unretired/retired/unretired/ Brett Favre.
Suggestions to Daniel Snyder - "Play any white guy". In fact, play any of the whities on your bench like Collins, Colt Brennan or if he wasn't cut Chase Daniels.
In fact, I think if Warren Moon came out of retirement at 60, I would put him #3.

6th Best
After peeking in on Eagles game, I just realized that Jason Campbell is now the 6th best QB in the NFC East.
McNabb, Manning, Romo, Vick, Jeff Garcia and then Jason Campbell.
The Redskins might want to evaluate how the Eagles have 3 Quarterbacks on their team that have been All-Pro, Jason Campbell is ..... NAP....Not-All-Pro.

Jason Campbell and Clinton Portis
Jason Campbell - I'm with the rest of the Skins fans --- he's a bum!
Clinton Portis - I'm with John Riggins --- he gains yard but never breaks a tackle!

Redskins and Softness
Redskins lose to a team on a 19 game losing streak with a rookie QB who is erratic as a passer, a running back who got hurt and had to leave the game, and bum offensive and defensive lines.
Here's why the Redskins lose. They hire a pretty boy, North West QB who is soft and is more concerned with schemes and being creative than he is with playing football.
Give me the Rex Ryan's of the world. Did anyone see the Jets today? They were flying around the field crushing people and blitzing from everywhere.
The Redskins were trying to 'out-creative' the other team.

Big Papi and A-Rod
NY vs. Boston Series going on and when those two ex-steroid guys come up to bat does anyone else notice they have 27 home runs or so for the year?
All these ex-home run hitters have 27, 29, maybe 30 --- when before they were hitting 40, 47, 49. Not to mention the Bonds, Maguires and Sosas who were hitting 60+ and 70+ home runs.
There shouldn't even be baseball records.

Miami vs. Va Tech
Miami and Florida State are frauds! Miami beats Fla St. (who loses to South Florida) and Fla St. beats a bum BYU and everyone thinks those programs are back.
Wrong! Both teams are extremely poorly coached. Someone might want to tell Randy Shannon that you don't pass and fumble and bumble around in the first quarter in a torrential rainstorm and get your team behind by 21 points, while Va Tech runs the ball every time down your throat.
Fla State? Bobby Bowden is a statue and whenever his team loses, he's looking around all confused and everyone just ignores him. He has no say into what is going on, he should go up into the press box so he doesn't get hurt.
