HE’S JUST AS GOOD (AND NOT A DIVA)

Those of you who are regular readers of STRAIGHT CASH HOMEY!!!! have probably guessed that I’m not a fan of the Diva that is Brett Favre. I am not going to go into why at this point (To find out why, please click “July” on the list of months that are located to the right of this entry. Then click and read the entry titled “THE BIGGEST DIVA IN THE NFL”), but I will admit that he is among the best to ever play the game. Notice I said among the best, NOT THE BEST! However, it is true that if you asked a group of KNOWLEDGABLE football fans to name the top five quarterbacks of all time, he should be in discussion. Personally I don’t think that he’s a top five quarterback, but I can understand how some people feel that he is. If you take it one step further and ask the same group of fans to name the top ten quarterbacks of all time, his name must be on the list. Even as a Brett Favre hater, I must admit that he is hands down a top ten quarterback. Anyone who disagrees simply doesn’t know football.

That being said, I know of one quarterback whose name wouldn’t come up in either discussion. This quarterback has the same amount of Super Bowl victories of the “great” Brett Favre. At the end of this season, he could also have the same number of MVP awards (3) as Favre. However, he’s rarely considered by anyone to be an all-time great. As a matter of fact if you compare his career numbers to those of Favre, I would say that they are just as good, if not better. I would take him over Favre any day of the week, because his career stats are better, he has never spoken out against a teammate in search of a new contract, he doesn’t annually hold his team hostage each off-season by threatening to retire, he doesn’t give inside information about his former team to their opponents, and most importantly he doesn’t do commercials for Wrangler Jeans. The player I’m describing deserves all of the love that Brett Favre receives, if not more. That player is none other than the incredibly underappreciated Kurt Warner.

I am by no means the president of the Kurt Warner fan club. I am simply singing his praises because he doesn’t get the credit that he deserves, while Favre doesn’t get all of the blame that he deserves. I knew that some of you reading this wouldn’t believe me and think that I am making this stuff up. Being prepared for that criticism, I have actually done a little research and a little math and came up with an accurate comparison of the two quarterbacks. Due to the fact that Brett Favre has played in 164 more games than Kurt Warner, I used average/game statistics in order to make the comparison even.

Both quarterbacks average approximately 21 completions a game. In doing so Favre has completed 58.6% of his passes, while Warner has completed 62.4% of his passes. Let’s take this comparison one step further and look at their average QB rating. Kurt Warner has an average QB rating of 86.66, which compares quite favorably to Favre’s 81.74. Still not convinced, let’s look at the all-important touchdown to interception ratio. This also favors Kurt Warner’s 1.61 touchdowns thrown for every interception over Favre’s ratio of 1.53 to 1. Just for perspective’s sake, let’s compare their touchdown to interception ratios to other all-time greats. Dan Marino’s career ratio is 1.67 to 1, Peyton Manning’s is 1.99 to 1, Tom Brady’s is 2.29 to 1, and Joe Montana’s is 1.96 to 1. This is one of the most important stats for quarterbacks, and it’s obvious that Warner’s ratio is much closer to that of other great quarterbacks than Favre’s.

I am by no means saying that Brett Favre isn’t a great player, but what I am saying is that it’s time for Kurt Warner to get the respect that he deserves. He is A HALL OF FAME QUARTERBACK, yet no one seems to notice his accomplishments. His career has been just as good as Favre’s (without all of the dramatics). If Warner wins the MVP award this season (which will be his third), his career will undoubtedly be better than Favre’s, and no one could argue otherwise.

There are those who will always consider Brett Favre the best quarterback ever. They love his gun-slinger mentality. I don’t consider him a gun-slinger, I simply see him as a careless and quarterback that takes unnecessary chances. This “gun-slinger” is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw 300 interceptions. Somehow that gets lost in all the praise of Favre. I sure hope that is a cap-gun that he is slinging, since he misses his target so much.

These are two quarterbacks that have certainly had their highs and lows. When they are good, they are both awesome. When they are bad, they are both terrible. What is really funny is that fact that when discussing Favre, only the good seems to get mentioned. On the other hand when discussing Warner, the bad is what usually comes up. Everyone thought that Warner was done when he struggled near the end of his career with St. Louis and during his tenure with the Giants, yet no one felt that Favre was done when he struggled mightily in 2005 and 2006. I wonder why? Even this year, Kurt Warner is having a much better year than Favre. Going into this week’s games, Warner has already thrown for 3,155 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions. These are by far better than Favre’s numbers of 2,273 yards, 18 touchdowns and a whopping 12 interceptions (which leads the league going into Week 12).

I would like for everyone reading this that doesn’t see Warner as Favre’s equal or superior to explain why he isn’t. They both have 1 Super Bowl championship, and at least 2 MVP awards. If Warner wins it this year, they will both have three. It’s now time for real football fans to recognize Kurt Warner’s accomplishments and give him the respect that he deserves.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YA THAT HE WON'T STOP

“Los, I just read an article on the internet that said EVANDER HOLYFIELD IS ABOUT TO FIGHT AGAIN!!!! Can you believe that?” This is the voice mail that I received earlier this week from the one and only Keebo, one of my friends from college. After listening to the message, the first thought that entered my mind was, ‘I am shocked, but not surprised. Holyfield has to be out of his mind, but that’s cool because this is going to make great blog material!’

I am one of the last boxing fans on earth. I know that we are few and far between but I still love the sweet science, even if no one else that I know does. Although I am a big boxing fan, I am a bit hypocritical because this is a sport that I would never participate in nor would allow my kids to. Boxing is a great workout, but it is ridiculously dangerous once you get into the ring. There is a lot of money to be made in boxing, ONCE YOU MAKE IT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE HEADLINING PAY-PER-VIEW EVENTS. However, until you make to that point, you would have to be an idiot to be a professional boxer. Big-time fights provide up to eight-figure purses regardless of the outcome of the fight. With this type of prize money involved, one would think that every young boxer would dream of reaching the big-time, fight a couple of big fights, and gracefully bow out with the remainder of their brain capacity intact. For some reason, IT USUALLY DOESN’T WORK OUT THAT WAY! I can't explain it, but boxers seem to want to fight forever.

I have never seen a boxer who retired and stayed retired. It’s something about getting repeatedly punched in the face that keeps drawing them back to the ring. Most boxers fight past their prime, and much longer than their focus or skills should allow, i.e. Roy Jones Jr. (who is a shell of what he was in his prime at thirty-nine years old). Even at the age of forty-three, Bernard Hopkins continues to fight. He is not what he was in his prime, but he is still winning top fights and has the majority of his mental faculties. He is the exception, but definitely not the rule.
EVANDER HOLYFIELD WOULD BE THE RULE!

I must admit, that I have always been a huge Evander Holyfield fan. He is from Atlanta and has proven over the years to have the heart of two men. Now we know what happened to Lamar Odom’s heart, Holyfield has it. He has always been an undersized Heavyweight (if there is such a thing), that continually took on bigger opponents and reminded them that ATLANTA DON’T RAISE NO PUNKS!!!! Although I have always been a fan, I must admit that I realized at a very young age that this guy didn’t exactly set the curve in school.

Evander Holyfield won his first professional fight, IN 1984! That means that he has been getting punched in the face for a living for twenty-four years. Just to put that into perspective, I WAS THREE YEARS OLD WHEN HE HAD HIS FIRST PROFESSIONAL FIGHT!!!! That is not including the amateur years before he even became a professional. Needless to say, there is a good chance that he has been punched in the face more than any other living human being. What is amazing about his longevity is the fact that his style is very straight-forward and that takes just as many punches as he gives out. He isn’t exactly Floyd Mayweather Jr., who routinely goes twelve rounds without ever getting hit.

Unlike today, there was a time in recent boxing history when the heavyweight division actually meant something. It was during that time that everyone was anticipating the fight between Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield and Mike “The Cannibal” Tyson. The fight finally took place in 1996. Holyfield won the fight and became the third man in boxing history to become a three-time heavyweight champion. Surviving Tyson once wasn’t enough for Holyfield. He gave Tyson a rematch, and his ears haven’t forgiven him since. Frustrated by the superior boxing skills of Holyfield, Tyson got hungry and decided to take a bite out of Holyfield’s ear. At that moment the referee decided to stop the fight and disqualify Tyson. Holyfield, the Rhodes Scholar that he is, wouldn’t allow that. He and his doctor intervened telling the referee that he wanted to continue. I still don’t understand that decision. I am assuming that the doctor is smarter than Holyfield, so he really should not have let that genius continue to fight a man that JUST BIT HIS EAR! Nonetheless the fight continued, and Tyson continued to eat. This time he bit a chunk from Holyfield’s other ear. It obviously wasn’t seasoned to Tyson’s liking, because he immediately spit it out into the ring. That incident still didn’t deter Holyfield. Instead of retiring, he continued to fight.

The boxing powers that be finally stepped in and placed Holyfield on medical suspension from fighting. Once again, Holyfield refused to call it quits. He continued to train and was eventually reinstated. His will is admirable, yet in my opinion, amazingly foolish. Now after 53 professional fights over a span of twenty-four years, Mr. Holyfield is getting back into the ring. This time against the "Russian Giant", Nikolai Valuev. Valuev stands 7ft. tall and weighs 330lbs. Holyfield on the other hand stands a 6ft. 2-1/2in and weighs around 221 lbs. By the way, Holyfield was also in middle school (making straight A’s I’m sure) when Valuev was born. He is eleven years older than Valuev.

This fight eerily reminds me of Apollo Creed v/s Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. I just hope it doesn’t end the same way. For the record, I think that Holyfield is going to lose the fight, but he is going to give it everything he has and put on a show for the fans.

I’m sure that you are wondering why this guy is still fighting. I've concluded that he is wired a little differently than most, and just can’t stop fighting. There is another reason. He's also doing it for the STRAIGHT CASH HOMEY!!!! For those of you that don’t know, he’s currently paying a mortgage on a $10 million mansion and allegedly thousands of dollars each month for child support. SO HE WON'T STOP, CAUSE HE CAN'T STOP! Every time I hear about Holyfield stepping back into the ring, in my head I hear P. Diddy's refrain from the Only You (remix) saying “I thought I told ya that we won’t stop, I thought I told ya that we won't stop.” I know that this has to be his theme song, because HE WILL NEVER STOP!!!!



****SPECIAL BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUT****

ALL ABOARD!!!!

As self-appointed President of the unofficial Atlanta Hawks Fan Club, I have an announcement to make. YOU HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 10TH TO GET ON THE HAWKS BAND WAGON before it leaves the station. On December 10th the Hawks will have played 20 games, which approximately ¼ the of the season, and once we reach that point, I WILL BE CLOSING THE DOORS OF THE BANDWAGON, AND NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE ELSE WILL BE ALLOWED TO GET ON!!!!

Some of you may be reading this and wondering why in the world would anyone restrict the Hawks bandwagon. I mean over the last couple of years they have been a team that couldn’t even half fill their arena on a nightly basis. One would think, that they would take all of the fans that could get, no matter if they are true fans or bandwagon fans that are simply along for the ride. However things have changed, and as the only person who has been a dedicated Hawks fan throughout this entire prolonged and excruciatingly slow rebuilding process, I REFUSE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO JUST TAG ALONG FOR THE SPECIAL PLAYOFF RUN THAT AWAITS US AFTER THE REGULAR SEASON!!!! For those of you that have been living under a rock for the past twelve days and not paying attention to the most important team in the NBA, I will fill you in on what you missed. THE HAWKS ARE 4 – 0!!!! Not only are they 4 – 0, but their four wins are all over teams that made the playoffs last year and have a good chance to make the playoffs this year. To date, they have defeated the Orlando Magic (the defending Southeast Division champions), the Philadelphia 76er’s (playoff team from a year, who added Elton Brand this off-season), the New Orleans Hornets (2nd best team in the Western Conference a year ago, and also feature Chris Paul the best point guard in the NBA), and the Toronto Raptors (starring Chris Bosh and Jermaine O’Neal). This proves that this team is no fluke.

It’s amazing that although they currently have the best record in the Eastern Conference and is tied for the best record in the NBA, this is still a team that only gets 10 second highlight packages and brief mentions on Sportscenter. In case you haven’t noticed, this team has the third best starting lineup in the Eastern Conference. That’s right, I said third best in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks lineup consisting of Joe Johnson (simply amazing), Mike Bibby (the much needed point guard), Josh Smith (the ultimate stat-stuffer), Al Horford (an absolute beast), and Marvin Williams (good player, but wrong draft pick) is only behind defending champion Boston, and the new look Detroit Pistons (featuring Allen Iverson). The bench is even pretty good. When you look at the contributions being made by the likes of Zaza Pachulia, Acie Law, Flip Murray, and Maurice Evans, you have to be amazed. THIS IS A COMPLETE TEAM, AND THEY ARE THE TRUTH!!!!

The Hawks went into the off-season riding high off of their shocking playoff appearance of last season. They seemed to lose some of that momentum when Josh Childress elected to sign with Olympiacos of the Euroleague for much more money than the Hawks offered. Although I still believe that the Hawks made a huge mistake by not signing Josh Childress, the combination of Acie Law and Maurice Evans has been able to minimize the loss. Childress was by far the most versatile player on the team. He could defend three positions. He could also slash to the basket, make an open jump shot, rebound, and was essentially the team's backup point guard. The emergence of Acie Law as a capable backup to Mike Bibby has filled in the ball handling void left by Childress, and Maurice Evans has been able to handle the other jobs that Childress handled so well.

Another tough decision that the Hawks had to deal with during the off-season was the status of lame-duck head coach Mike Woodson. People all around Atlanta have been calling for Woodson’s head for the last couple of years, but I have not been one of them. If you watch the Hawks as much as I do (I watch about 75 of the 82 regular seasons game each year) and know anything about basketball, you would know that Woodson was not the problem. He simply inherited the youngest team in the NBA, which also happened to be a franchise that was allergic to point guards. Just look at what happened as the young team began to mature and they traded for a legit point guard. For all of those who have been calling for his head, I think it’s time for you to question your own basketball IQ. He has held this team together through some tough times and we are now reaping the rewards of his hard work. He not only led this team to the playoffs last year for the first time since the 1998 – 1999 season, but he also took the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics to game seven in their first round playoff series.

Although I am a Hawks fan, I am not delusional. I don’t expect this team to win the NBA championship this season, or even to make the NBA Finals. However, I do expect them to win the Southeast Division and to win a playoff series. This team is truly a treat to watch because they are incredibly athletic and exciting. It’s too bad that they don’t get to play on national TV regularly (a topic that I will discuss at a later date), because people who do not live in Atlanta truly deserve the opportunity to watch this team in action. Now that they have an identity, which is predicated on defense and a run-in-gun style offense, the sky is the limit.

REMEMBER THE DATE, DECEMBER 10TH. CIRCLE IT ON YOUR CALENDARS AND BE SURE TO BE SAFELY SECURED ON THE HAWKS BANDWAGON BY THAT DATE! IF YOU’RE NOT ON BY THEN, WE WILL BE LEAVING THE STATION AND HEADING TOWARD THE PLAYOFFS WITHOUT YOU!!!!

I would be remised if I didn’t mention the historic event that took place on Tuesday night around 11pm. BARACK OBAMA WAS ELECTED THE 44th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HE IS THE 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN TO EVER BE ELECTED TO THE NATIONS HIGHEST OFFICE!!!! America has spoken and decided that it is time for things to change. America as a whole is facing some very tough times on several fronts and, as a member of my favorite rap group once said, Something’s Gotta Give. If you don’t believe me, just ask him. Go ahead and tell them Big Boi….



As you know, I have been urging people to get out and vote each week on this blog. I would like to personally thank everyone who cast his or her vote in this election. No matter how you voted, it is important that you let you voice be heard. You should feel proud.

I would also like to urge all of the people reading this that voted for the first time, to continue to vote and not let this be your first and only time.

THE HALF WAY POINT

We now are at the half way point of the NFL season, and boy what a season it has been. If anyone can say that they predicted things would go as they have so far, THEY ARE LYING!!!! There have been so many surprises. Teams that were supposed to suck are actually playing pretty good. Teams that had Super Bowl aspirations are not playing so well. There are players that are not playing up to par, and there are those that are having career years. This season, I have seen the best football game that I have ever seen and I have seen monumental upsets. This year epitomizes why I love the NFL, because anything and I do mean anything can happen any given Sunday.

All that being said, I am going to recap the first half of the NFL season by recognizing the significant performances, both good and bad. If you disagree with anything on my list, be sure to comment with your own opinion.

Without further ado:

MID-SEASON MVP

Clinton Portis – Anyone who knows me, know that I am a huge fan of Mr. Portis (aka Southeast Jerome). He is currently leading the league with 944 rushing yards through eight games. To put it simply, he has been running wild and is impossible to stop this season. He is that rare back that can get the tough yard as well as break the long one. The reason for his success is obviously the fact that he was able to bulk up without losing any speed. He has also led the Washington Redskins (the team with the really offensive mascot) to a 6-2 record. I think Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan realizes that it wasn’t the system when it came to Portis, he is actually that good.

Runner-up – Michael Turner

Third – Drew Brees


MID-SEASON MDP (MOST DISAPPOINTING PLAYER)

Peyton Manning – Peyton is by far having the worst year of his career since his rookie season. He has 10 touchdowns and 9 interceptions through 7 games and the Colts are 3-4 (they haven’t had their bye week yet). It is obvious that Peyton’s timing is still off due the effects of his off-season surgeries, but I will not allow that to be an excuse for his poor play. If he is still hurt, then he shouldn’t be playing, but since he is on the field I must hold him to the same standards as I do everyone else. I am a HUGE Peyton Manning fan, but you know that I always call a spade a spade, and I must say that this year he sucks! Luckily the season isn’t over, and trust me, he will get it together. But up to this point, he is the most disappointing player in the league.

Runner-up – Braylon Edwards

Third – DeAngelo Hall


OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Please see the MVP list, it is the same.


DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Albert Haynesworth – This season, he has been the best of both worlds at defensive tackles. He eats up blockers to let the linebackers run free and make tackles. In addition to that he has also managed to get six sacks of his own through seven games. I am not a big fan of him personally, but I must give credit where credit is due. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that his team is undefeated and that is with no passing game. Their formula is simple, play defense and run the ball.

Runner-up – Charles Woodson

Third – Joey Porter


MOST SURPRISING TEAM (GOOD SURPRISE)

Atlanta Falcons – If you can say that you thought they would be above .500 at any point in the season after week 1, you are definitely lying. I know that 4-3 is not a stellar record and they probably won’t make the playoffs, but I personally thought that they wouldn’t win more than four games or an absolute maximum of five games. According to most of the “experts”, they were supposed win no more than two games. Even if they don’t win another game this season, they have earned the respect of the league and surpassed most people’s expectations.

Runner-up – Miami Dolphins

Third – Washington Redskins (did I mention how offensive that mascot is?)


MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM

San Diego Chargers – I know that they’re playing without Shawne Merriman, but they should be better. Other than that, they have the same team that they have had the past couple of years. What is sad is that they play in the weakest division in the NFL and they will still probably win the AFC West. This is a team that has the personnel to win twelve or thirteen games. To put it plain and simple, they are underachieving and have no sense of urgency.

New Orleans Saints – This team has enough talent to win their division by three games and were some people’s pick to make it to the NFC title game. That is obviously not going to happen and I don’t even think they’re going to make the playoffs. There are those who will blame their struggles on injuries (you know who you are), but that is not an excuse. This is the NFL, arguably the most violent sports league in the world, so injuries are just a part of the game. I will never give a team a pass due to injuries unless it is to the quarterback. Very few teams in this league can afford to lose their quarterback. So much goes into playing the position and the good ones are so expensive that backups have to be cheap. Therefore you get a pass if you lose your quarterback, but if you lose any other player and suffer it just means that you didn’t do enough to build up the backend of your roster. So if you believe that the Saints struggles are due to injury, you are sadly mistaken. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THEM, THEY ARE JUST PLAYING AWFUL!!!!

Indianapolis Colts – They have had some injuries, BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE! The defense should get better this week with the return of Bob Sanders, but Peyton Manning has been playing horribly. He has been missing throws that he has been making since high school. Opposing defenses are causing him to be visibly frustrated and he is losing his cool weekly. Up to this point, he is throwing more like Rex Grossman than Peyton Manning. It has not helped that the running game has been pretty much non-existent up to this point.

These teams are a three-way tie for the dubious honor of being STRAIGHT CASH HOMEY!!!!’s, most disappointing team. They have all been equally disappointing. To put it simply, they all have to play better.


OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Chris Johnson – He is the fifth leading rusher in the NFL and he only get seventeen carries per game. He is also averaging over five yards per carry. Oh, and did I mention that his team is undefeated after seven games. Enough said.

Runner-up – Matt Ryan

Third – Jonathan Stewart


DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Curtis Lofton – He stepped in day one as the starter at middle linebacker in Atlanta. He has not disappointed. He has 42 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. He has also been a key part of the Falcons quick turnaround. In my very biased, Keith Brooking hating opinion, I feel that at this point he has already had a better career than Keep Looking (aka Keith Brooking). The fact that he has been able to move into the middle has allowed Keith Brooking to move to “favorite” position of outside linebacker and miss tackles from there instead of the middle. See, he is paying huge dividends for both the Falcons and Brooking.

Runner-up – Jerod Mayo

Third – Chris Horton


COACH OF THE YEAR

Mike Smith – THE FALCONS ARE 4-3 THROUGH SEVEN GAMES!!!! Do I need to say more?

Runner-up – Jeff Fisher

Third – Tony Sparano


BEST GAME – Cowboys v/s Eagles from Week 2 on Monday Night Football. Plain and simple, this was the best football game that I have ever seen at any level. It was non-stop excitement and let the whole world know that DeSean Jackson thinks getting to the one yard-line is the same as scoring a touchdown (for more details on that please see the entry entitled “I KNOW IT’S EARLY, BUT….”). In that game, virtually every play was a big play. That is what football is all about.


These are my mid-season observations. Feel free chime in and comment on these and to also give me yours.
