Breaking News: Eli Manning Tries Angel Dust

We don't have any pictures yet of him doing this hardcore drug, but after reading this quote it's just a matter of time...



Eli Manning talking about who is in Tom Brady's class... ""I consider myself in that class," Manning said on New York’s ESPN 1050. "And Tom Brady is a great quarterback, he's a great player and what you've seen with him is he's gotten better every year. He started off winning championships and I think he's a better quarterback now than what he was, in all honesty, when he was winning those championships."



Wait... Did ShEli Manning just say he is in the same class as Tom Brady? Wow, this angel dust stuff must be damn strong.



There are only 2 other people right now that are in Tom Brady's "class"... Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning. Ben because of his winning ways (not just in pinning women to the floor), and Peyton because he is up there for a lot of records and has a ring.



ShEli you got lucky and won a ring. Good for you, but you really need to humble yourself. You won because your WR pulled a catch out of his ass, and what have you done since? I'll tell you what you have done... nothing. You threw 25 picks last year!!!! If you combined all Brady's seasons from 2007 through 2010 he threw 25 picks. God, if it wasn't for Barstool Sports throwing up Brady's kid's dong pics you would be on the top of his shit list.

Why Not Let OchoCinco Live With You?

New Patriots wide receiver Chad Ochocinco said Tuesday afternoon he's going to pick one fan to stay with "for the first two [or] three weeks of the season" to live with until he gets "acclimated" to the area.



"I'm going to do something different — I'm going to stay with a fan, probably for the first two, three weeks of the season, so that should be fun until I get myself acclimated and learn my way around and just find a place," Ochocinco said after the Patriots held a nearly three-hour practice on the fields behind Gillette Stadium.



There are some prerequisites, however.



"I'm not sure how many Boston fans I have, but I'm just going to pick someone. I'm not sure how it's going to work, They have to have Internet and they have to have Xbox. That's about it," he said (WEEI).



Sorry, but OchoCinco is the best, and honestly people should jump at this chance. Could there be an easier roommate? All he wants to do is sit back and play XBox. Plus, he seems happy all the time, which is a lot more then I can say about most people living in the New England area (myself included). Plus, on his part I think it's a real cool idea. What a better way to endear yourself to fans then to actually just live with one for a couple of weeks. Plus, OchoCinco is self-proclaimed cheap, so it's a great way for him to get around having to pay for rent.



Already love this guy. He is kind of like the football Shaq, although I hope this works out better then that did.

Savard Is Still A Mess

We haven't heard about Marc Savard in a while, and from the sound of interview we know why. There seems like there has been very little improvement...

"It's obviously been a long road for me. I'm still suffering with a lot of daily issues, right now it's been a tough go," Savard told reporters. "I'm just trying to get through and not worry about hockey right now, just worry about my health because I have three young kids and they're important to me."

"Mornings have been tough. When I get up in the morning I'm a little foggy sometimes," Savard continued. "But as the day wears on I'm pretty good. Hot sun is tough. I try to stay in the shade and stuff like that and pop the odd Advil and it seems to be okay (TSN)."

I feel so bad for this guy, but he has made a good amount of money and like I have said 1,000 times before just needs to sit back and announce his retirement. There is no reason for him to go out there again and risking another head shot. We have so much evidence now that these concussion can really mess your life up long term, so he should take every precaution to be there for his kids.

The Bruins did put a petition in to get him on the Cup, and I hope it works out. The guy has been through enough. I couldn't imagine waking up every day and still dealing with these problems. Blank spots in memory, dizziness, I mean we get those from hangover, but at least that's only on weekends.

It's crazy to think the NHL season starts again in about 6 weeks.

Harrison Apologizes To Goodell

"The interview that I did and the comments that I made about Roger Goodell were inappropriate, at the least," Harrison said. "They were way out of line, and I was speaking out of anger and frustration at the time. Any comments that I made that offended anyone, I apologize."

Harrison had every right to be upset with Goodell, and for the most part I don't actually mind most of what he says. I thought it was wrong he ripped his teammates, but with the stuff about Goodell I didn't really care. Still, this is smart, there is no reason to have your boss any more pissed at you then he already is. Plus, his comments were pretty over the top.

Does This Rondo Quote Bother You?

As has long been suspected, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo admitted to Yahoo! Sports that the trade of his good friend Kendrick Perkins in late February had a bigger impact on the team's mental focus than it should have.

"It wasn't like the man passed away or something," Rondo told Yahoo! Sports reporter Marc J. Spears. "I think we put too much emphasis on it. It's a business. He got traded. He's very happy where he's at. We still talk, and I'm always going to have his back. It shouldn't have affected us the way it affected us (WEEI)."

I sometimes worry about what goes on in Rondo's head. Throughout the season it seemed like he played up to the competition, but would play down to it as well if there wasn't something to prove. Then there was this whole Perkins trade mess, and it really did seem to affect him. To a point I understand it, but with this team aging by the day and Rondo is becoming the leader of the team he needs to have a stronger head then this. From this quote I think he has learned that. Like he said "it's a business", and no matter what happens you have to come in and do your job.

Rondo proved a lot to me in terms of toughness when he came back from that horrible elbow injury. I think over the next year he needs to become more and more of a leader. The obvious thing is developing the last parts of his game that keep him from being the best PG in the game (free throws, outside jump shot). He doesn't have to be good in those two areas, but he needs to at least make it respectable. If he can't hit free throws then it stops him from going to the rim, and if he can't hit the outside jump shot no one feels the need to play up on him.

The bottom line is if this quote is true it kind of makes me disappointed in the entire team. They are a veteran team and they should've been able to move on from this and not let it affect them as much as Rondo said it did.

Ortiz Says He Wants 2 Year Deal

Well this really shouldn't shock anyone, but Ortiz came out and stated that he is looking for a 2 year deal from the Red Sox...

You know what? I’ve been in this organization for nine years. My numbers ain’t that bad, you know what I’m saying?” said Ortiz. “I don’t think I need to open any more eyes than I have already. If you haven’t seen me, you ain’t.”

“Oh yeah, I’ve got more in the tank, I’ve got more than that. I’m just going to turn 36,” Ortiz said. “What’s the worst thing that’s going to happen to me from now through the next two, three years?”

A year back I wasn't so sure what to do with Ortiz. I thought most likely the best option was to let him ride out his contract and then let him go, but he has been so good that I think he deserves a 2 year deal. He has changed his body shape, and looks a lot skinner. I think this has helped out a ton, and it can only help those terrible knees he has now that there is less weight on them. I am fine with Ortiz getting something like a 2 year $20 million dollar deal, and I hope he gets done ASAP.

Mickael Pietrus To Celtics?

Mickael Pietrus made some interesting comments that has been hoping he ends up on the Celtics (whenever there is a season)...

"A lot of teams are interested in me, like the Lakers and the Celtics," Pietrus tells L'Equipe via translation from HoopsHype. "This came from the best player in the world: Kobe Bryant. He told me two months ago that he would like to see me with the Lakers."

Obviously the Lakers would seem like the front runners for him, but I hope the Celtics take some interest in this guy. He is a great defensive player, and could be a nice asset as that "wing defender" (that should be on the list yesterday) that the Celtics have been looking for. Not sure why I am a big fan of Pietrus, but it started when the Celtics played the Magic in the playoffs a couple years ago. He just seems like a guy who would fit that "team defense" philosophy the Celtics are so great at. The question is how they would get this done. I would think it would be some kind of sign and trade with Big Baby might get it done.

Every Big Baby Comment Makes Me Like Him Less

So, a week or two ago we got comments from Big Baby that he was looking for a bigger role, and that most likely was going to lead him out of Boston. We all laughed considering that he was one of the main reasons the Celtics tanked out of the playoffs. Now he is coming back sounding a little different.

"Man, I do," Davis tells the Boston Herald. "Do you know how much I've grown and learned with those guys? I want to keep playing with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce until they leave."

Davis has also hired a sports psychologist to help him understand what went wrong this past season.

"I was in that zone, and then it started to go downwards," Davis said."I want to use that positive energy I have as a player. I want to be the Glen Davis I know I can be."

Dude, you started to suck because you gained 20 pounds to a frame that was already overweight. Doc got pissed, and then you just laid down in the playoffs. Your mentally soft, and you talk in the third person, I am so done with you. Bye Glen Davis go to the Raptors and lets never hear of you again.
