College Football: The $heriff’s Week 1 Picks
Thursday Night:
Miami Oh -3.5 Do not like the way Vandy looks on paper. This is Miami’s big chance to beat up an SEC team at home.
Oregon State -3 Only reason Stanford stays in this is the defense. Look for the Beavers to pound the ball and coast in for a nice 10 point win.
NC State/South Carolina under 45.5 NC State does not have much going besides its defense. South Carolina does have a potentially potent offense but will look to control the clock and rely on shutting down the Wolf Pack.
Friday Night:
Rice/SMU over 70 One of the nation’s worst defenses goes against one of the nation’s worst defenses. Both teams are capable of scoring…especially against each other.
Saturday Night:
Utah +3 Utah brings back a lot of veterans on both sides of the ball. Michigan will have trouble getting used to new systems, new coaches, and new players. Utah wins this one outright.
Ole Miss -7.5 The $heriff likes this Ole Miss team. They will surprise people this season and it starts here with a decisive victory.
Wyoming -11.5 Wyoming lives for home openers. They are 13-1 with an average win of 30 points in thier last 14 home openers.
Oregon -13.5 The Ducks have owned the Huskies in recent years winning the last 4 meetings by an average of 23 points. Expect more of the same.
Missouri -9 Mizzou just has too many weapons and too much fire going into this game.
Clemson -4.5 Bama is a team the $heriff believes will dissapoint this year. Clemson wins this one by double digits.
Kansas State -26 Kansas State will destroy this team. Look for the Wildcat offense to go crazy.
Southern Cal -19 USC should not have a problem with a depleted Virginia team. The Trojans also realize after last season that blowing out weaker opponents matters. That along with their history of opening game routs should put the Trojans way up when the clock ticks down.
Florida Atlantic +24 Texas is not great. FAU will show that by keeping it close.

Return of Karate Chimp
Many of you have see the original Karate Chimp video where a chimp is seen dishing out killer roundhouses and steps on his sensei’s foot to escape move. But here is a new version showing him in training. It also appears as though he is now a certified black belt. Amazing…
9 Year Old Banned for being too good?!

This is insane and typical of how things are today. Soft parents are ruining the toughness of America’s youth. Rather than punish this kid and his team, why not pump him up and tag him as the star. If you really want to get this new league going, get this kid out in the park for a fundraiser and challenge grown men to hit his fastball.
This is a serious problem. Kids are turning into woosies. I have a few nephews growing up in Massachusetts and they are all actively involved in sports. I was appauled when my sister told me that they play in a baseball league that: a) has not outs (if someone catches your pop up, you still take the base), b) has no home runs (in or out of the park homeruns, the baserunner is sent back to second base), c) has just two innings (ever kid bats each inning). This is insane and frankly it is not baseball. I could go on and on about other stories of my nephews in lame non-competitve functions (like field day with no winners), but I would need to purchase another 5 gigs of space from my hosting site. I just ask if you are a parent, let your kid know the thrills of victory and the agony of defeat so he/she will be prepared later in life when you do have to face that crazy fastball.
Most pimp Star Spangled Banner of all time.
If you watched the Olympics, you definitely saw the commercial with Marvin Gaye singing the national anthem while the US Hoops team gets ready. I took a look for the original clip of this. This is truly a work of art. Somehow, Marvin turns our national anthem into a love making vehicle.
Here are some other notable renditions:
Jimi Hendrix- Obviously you can’t have a list like this without possibly the most popular modern day version of this song.
British Royal Guard- In possibly the coolest move made by the British since Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown, The British Royal Guard played the Star Spangled Banner on September 12, 2001 as a tribute to America. They played to many Americans travelers stuck in London due to the US no-fly policy.
Whitney Houston- At Superbowl 25, Whitney Houston belted out her version of our national anthem. No other woman should have been allowed to sing this after her… Period.
Is Peyton Manning’s season in serious jeopardy?
Seems there may be a lot more to Peyton Manning’s knee than most of us are aware. Until this weekend, I had no idea Manning was in such bad shape. As a Patriots fan and fantasy rival who did not draft him, this brings a devilish grin to my face.
From Michael Lombarti’s Blog: I talked to several people in the NFL yesterday who know things and they assure me that Peyton Manning’s knee is a huge concern for the Colts. Apparently Manning had to go through another procedure on his knee to clean things out after having his bursa sac removed last month. What is the most concerning is not the second operation (which the Colts are denying), but that they cannot control the swelling in Manning’s knee and any physical movement causes MORE swelling.
Will Manning's knee be ready to go?
The Real Olympic “Gold”
This just in, if you can participate in the Olympics, do it! I was watching the Olympics closing ceremonies last night and noticed what a crazy party it seemed like on the floor for the athletes. Everyone was smiling, dancing, and about 80% of them appeared drunk. There were cool special effects going on, loud music, and fireworks. Ah, the fireworks… Apparently, behind Olympic Village doors are where the real fireworks go on. Every Olympics has its hookups and from what it sounds, athletes seem to leave inhibitions in their native countries. The wild Olympic nights have gotten so extreme that the IOC found it necessary to hand out multiple condoms to all athletes! 100,000 condoms in all were ordered for this year’s Olympics.
From Matthew Syed’s column in the London Times Online: I am often asked if the Olympic village – the vast restaurant and housing conglomeration that hosts the world’s top athletes for the duration of the Games – is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My answer is always the same: too right it is. I played my first Games in Barcelona in 1992 and got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point.
Got laid more than once at the 1992 Olympics
If a geeky looking ping pong player can get laid at the Olympics, imagine the tail Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, or members of the US Basketball team must get?
