WTF? Brandon Jacobs Tries To Punch DeAngelo Hall

During the Giants blowout win over the Redskins Monday night, running back Brandon Jacobs decided he wanted to literally bust some ass on the field. During the beginning of the 4th quarter, with the Giants holding a 26 point lead, Jacobs and Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall, no stranger to both verbal and physical fisticuffs, got into a heated argument that led to some pushing and shoving. Jacobs decided to try and see what was really hood, throwing a punch in the direction of Hall that ended up hitting Reed Doughty in the shoulder as he was trying to squash the altercation.

I’ve never really understood the rationale behind a football player trying to throw a punch at someone who is wearing a helmet. Even if you do connect, it will likely do more damage than good because helmets are designed to shield players from impact. But then again, Brandon Jacobs has never been one to be viewed as the brightest tool in the shed. This should lead to some type of fine from the NFL once the tape is reviewed.

Michael Vick’s Finally Getting His Mojo Back

If you don’t roll with Mike Vick, then you’re crazier than a shithouse rat. For Philly, the city that has become the home for embattled superstars from Bad News Virginia, the Vick experiment can be deemed successful, while Iverson’s return to the Sixers is still open to debate. The Eagles have eased Vick into their offensive scheme and have used his capabilities to throw off defenses at random points throughout the game.

Donovan McNabb at least appears to be rolling with the use of Vick, even in goal line situations where a thirst for a TD might cloud one’s vision. Allowing Vick to throw the ball more, will keep opposing defenses confused and when McNabb and Vick are on the field together, the options are unlimited.

With 3 TD in the last 2 games, Vick is going to force the Eagles to make a tough decision next season. Even though Vick has expressed his desire to be a starting quarterback, the Eagles have him by the nuts and his $5 mill salary next season really isn’t that bad considering his potential trade value.

Regardless of what happens next season, the Eagles have a golden opportunity to do something special this year. Currently a game atop the NFC East, the Week 17 showdown at Cowboys Stadium could be the stuff of legend. If the games ends up being for the NFC East title, you can best believe that the Eagles will have something up their sleeve with Vick in mind.

Plaxico Burress Applies For Work Release From Prison

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is trying to make his next move his best one, by applying for a work furlough that he could get him back at the crib within the next few months. Burress is currently only about ankle deep in a 2-year prison sentence he’s serving at Oneida Correctional Facility in upstate New York. While less than 3% of the furlough applications are approved by New York’s Department of Corrections, the fact that Burress plays a sport that pays it’s players millions of dollars will actually give him a leg-up, no pun intended, on other inmates. According to the New York Post:

Burress was indicted on two counts of gun possession, under two theories of possession. The first count charged that he possessed a loaded gun with intent to use it unlawfully. The second count charged that he merely possessed the loaded gun and wasn’t in his home or business...Burress pleaded down to a lesser charge of attempted gun possession — but only under the second theory, that he merely possessed the gun and wasn’t home or at work.

That plea let Burress take advantage of a Corrections loophole — courtesy of Executive Order 9, signed by then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer in 2007 — that lets gun-possession convicts apply for furloughs providing they didn’t possess the gun with intent to use.

There are two legal systems in the United States, the one that governs the haves, and the one that governs the have-nots. Even though it seems like famous people get preferential treatment in the court of law, the reality is that money not only talks, but also can hire a great attorney that you probably can’t find messing with a public defender. Since Plax can afford to have a Legend like Benjamin Brafman handling his business, he can take advantage of the system and figure out how to do as little time as possible using any and all potential loopholes.

Did O.J. Simpson get acquitted from his double murder case because he was a good football player and decent actor? or was it because he hired Johnny Cochran to save his ass?

OMG! Josh McDaniels Drops M-F Bomb On Live TV

Fans watching the NFL Network’s Thursday Night game between the Broncos and Giants got an inside look at how head coach Josh McDaniels really talks to a bunch of dudes that could all whoop his ass in a one-on-one fight. NFLN cameras caught McDaniels swearing like a sailor as he ripped into his team for their questionable play. Guaranteed someone in the production truck got a McDaniels-like tongue lashing for letting the profanity-ladden harangue make the air, while viewers got a special Thanksgiving treat.

Much like Kevin Garnett, hopefully they will learn to keep mics away from McDaniels unless they are in the hunt for some R-rated material.

(There’s already a remix)

Tim Lincecum Caught With Shady Eighter In Whip

Welp, we know Tim Lincecum’s got 5 on it. The 2008 NL Cy Young Award winner was busted with a pipe and 3.3 grams of the sweet cheeba, and will likely give his Doe Doe man a strong tounge-lashing for pinching from the bag. In some parts of the country that .2 can be the difference between a bullet and a handshake. Lincecum was speeding down the I-5 and after being pulled over an officer caught a whiff off what was most likely some B.C. (British Columbia) flavor considering he was in Washington.

Lincecum, who is originally from Bellevue, copped a plea with Clark County officials and will only have to pay a fine for possession of the pipe, as well as the speeding ticket. Lukcy for Tim, Washington is a “Green Purple” State so getting busted with weed really isn’t that big of a deal. Since Lincecum was traveling with a quantity deemed small enough for personal use, and he is a first time offender, he will not face a drug possession charge.

Lincecum will most likely be punished next season for this transgression with some type of suspension. Hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson about baking and driving….always obey the speed limit.

Plax Moved To Medium-Security Facility In Rome

Too bad the Rome we’re referring to isn’t the one in Italy. Plax was moved to the Oneida Correctional Facility, which is a medium-security prison in Rome, New York about 30 miles from Syracuse. This appears to be Burress’ final home, after moving from Rikers Island to the Ulster Correctional Facility in Napanoch. Plax’s new home has been rated as one of the best (if that’s possible) prisons in New York state. Oneida also produces all of the food for the entire New York prison system, as well as providing medication to most of the other prisons in the state.

According to a 2007 study, Oneida on average has a higher percentage of inmates who have received their high school diploma or GED (60%) compared to the state-wide average (51%). This means that Plax probably won’t get harassed as much for being an educated dude, which is normally cause for a throat-poking in the penn, or at least that’s what we learned from watching Oz back in the day.

During his bid at Oneida, Plax is staying in the long-term protective custody unit, in an isolated cell. This particular unit holds a maximum of 43 inmates, but is currently riding thin with 19. Plax is staying in the creme de la creme of jail cells, with over 144 sq ft. of living space, the cell is bigger than some apartments in the area. The best part is he won’t have to worry about getting his manhood taken every night, but during the day, that may be a different story. Plaxico is being taken care of nicely, which is not surprising considering he help bring a Super Bowl ring, and some dignity, back to New York.

Plaxico Might Need The Squirrel Master

Tis Tuff for our dude Plaxico aka Inmate 09-R-3260. Already serving his 2 year sentence for the Cheddar Bob incident, his transition to prison hasn’t been pleasant. Burress was taken to New York’s infamous Rikers Island correctional facility, where he stayed until Wednesday, when he was transferred to Ulster Correctional Facility, a medium security prison in upstate Napanoch.

Burress’ one night at Rikers was a rough one. Plax was taunted by inmates, who were screaming various obscenities at the former Giants wide receiver, calling him an “a-hole” and letting him know that they were not fans of his former team. Unnamed guards (aka snitches) said that Burress seemed depressed, but on the bright side, he wasn’t there long enough to get his manhood taken from any number of inmates that have qualities similar to Nasty Nate.

Burress will remain in his isolated cell at Ulster for a few more days to weeks while he is evaluated and a final determination is made on where he should serve out the remainder of his time. He is allowed 3 hours of recreational time each day as well as 3 showers per week. Given his solid hands, fumbling the soap should not be an issue.

Plax’s V Card In Jeopardy For Next 2 Years

Hopefully Plax doesn’t end up like Jackson Vahue.

Tis tuff for our dude Plaxico Burress. After a lengthy court battle that lasted nearly a year, he finally got sentenced to 2 years in the penn. Damn! He got more time for shooting himself than some people do for shooting someone else. Now his booty will be in constant jeopardy, as we are sure that there are several inmates just waiting for the chance to snatch his V card. Let us hope that the Sisters don’t get a hold of him.

This pretty much means his football career is over. Even though Plax has already been told by the Don Roger Goodell that he will be reinstated upon the completion of his prison term, Burress will 34 years old by then and rusty, like an old trombone.

We thought this was America people. In a country where people usually can buy their way out of legal trouble, this trend seems to be obsolete, especially for Black athletes who’ve worn corn rows at some point in their career. On the bright side, If Plax doesn’t shank anybody he could get out in 20 months.
