Buckeyes

The second half started off right where the first half left off with Ohio State having their way with the vaunted Alabama defense and 12 Gauge throwing bombs

Steve Miller pick 6. Thought this was the dagger right here.

Corey Smith gets a game ball. The dude was EVERYWHERE on kickoffs last night.

Then there was this. The backrub heard ’round the world. The internet thinks that this girl was cheating and at that moment in the video she realizes she’s on TV and has been caught… Other theories are she was trying to pickpocket the guy in the black or was popping pills. Or it’s actually nothing at all and people love looking way too far into things. We’ll never know the truth but this may have been the most fascinating thing to come out of last night’s game.

Vonny Football with the crucial interception

Urban chucked his headset farther than any pass Cardale threw last night

But it all turned out alright as Ezekiel Elliott proved once and for all that the SEC just can’t match up with the Big Ten’s speed

Amari Cooper made it a little interesting but it didn’t matter

Evan Spencer with the catch of the year

Zeke had a FIELD DAY after the game

He killed his postgame appearance on ESPN. Surprised he didn’t slug Mark May here

Urban’s face when Mark May opened his big fat mouth was priceless

It’s a dance party in the locker room! We’re going to Dallas!

So we’re just gonna have to beat all the Heisman finalists, right?

Bring on the Ducks

Ohio Against the World; OSU v Alabama Sugar Bowl Game Tape (First Half)

January 2, 2015 Mike Leave a comment

We heard it all coming into this game: Big Ten. Too slow. 3rd string quarterback. Nick Saban. Alabama. (-9). SEC Speed. Amari Cooper. Roll Tide. Virginia Tech. Too young. Not there yet.

Then there was this from the esteemed personalities at ESPN:

And… it was all bullshit.

Let’s look at the game tape

Before the game we found out firsthand how the entire state of Alabama fertilizes their trees. Harvey Updyke would be proud.

Things did not start out well for the Buckeyes

Pretty sure Derrick Henry could have had 400 yards rushing if Lane Kiffin wasn’t an idiot. Thank you, Lane. Thank you.

Also, Jabaal Sheard and Derrick Henry? Twins.

That’s 250 lbs trying to hurdle you. I’d have pooped my pants.

That Amari Cooper guy? Yeah, he’s good. Hey Browns, you listening?

Hey kid, you stink. Enjoy that Alabama education. Newsflash: the world isn’t flat

I can’t even right now. Love this chick.

But any report of the Buckeyes demise were deeply exaggerated!

“He came in like a wrecking balllll”

So I guess every player on Ohio State can throw touchdowns this year?

Boom.

Excited?

You can relive the 2nd half here

Browns v Ravens Monday Game Tape; It’s Over. It’s finally over.

December 29, 2014 Mike Leave a comment

It’s over. It’s finally over. You know in Call of Duty when you’re on your “Last Stand?” Just laying on the ground bleeding out, about to die, and blindly shooting at the other team hoping to do some damage? That’s what these last couple of games for the Browns felt like. Just laying there waiting to die and waiting for the season to end.

Honestly though, we need to give credit to this coaching staff and group (most of them) of players. With all the stupid bullshit distractions they’ve faced the past couple weeks, it’s refreshing to know that they never quit and never laid down. That’s a lot more than we could say about past teams. So kudos or something, even though you lost 5 in a row… you didn’t quit. So, uh, thanks for that? Let’s look at the game tape.

The teams traded field goals in the first half and went into halftime tied at 3-3.

—

Any other QB in the league this is penalty. Connor Shaw? Nope. I imagine the ref said “Buckle up your chinstrap son, this is the NFL.” Then gave him a pat on the ass and accepted a $20 from Terrell Suggs.

They would’ve had to call an ambulance for Tom Brady

That pass went for 49 yards BTW.

Terrance West scored after that.

Browns took the lead but in a later drive by the Ravens Joe Flacco threw 2 passes to Torrey Smith and Baltimore drove down the field in about 6 seconds, took the lead, and never looked back

And the Ravens added another TD to win 20-10 AND the Browns fell to 7-9 when they were once 7-4 AND ended the season on a 5 game losing streak AND are the only team in the AFC North that didn’t make the playoffs AND still don’t have a legit NFL quarterback at the moment AND…. AND…. sigh. Got all that?

Quick thoughts:

– How about Joe Haden, man? Has the flu, gets an IV just to play in this “meaningless” game with his 7-8 team and comes in and balls out (aside from the long Torrey Smith pass). He didn’t have to play today, he could have easily taken the day off to rest up for his 2nd straight Pro Bowl and no one would have blamed him. We need more guys like Joe who actually give a fuck about the name on the front of the jersey. If anyone cared about this team as much as Haden, we wouldn’t be 7-9 and losers of 5 in a row.

– You don’t tell Meder when the play starts, he tells you. Nice to see a NE Ohio kid getting some playing time.

– Really encouraged by Craig Robertson. The past few games I’ve seen him making plays all over the field. I don’t know what his actual defensive stats are in those games but every time I look up it seems like Craig is drilling some guy into the ground.

– Kudos to Connor Shaw. Undrafted rookie. Wasn’t even on the roster last week. Depleted receiving corps and O-Line. And has to make his first start on the road vs. a division opponent fighting for their playoff lives. Oh, and he has Terrell Suggs staring him in the face every play… I doubt he’s the answer to the Browns QB problems but he certainly earned my respect yesterday.

– Could this year have gone any worse for our two first round draft picks? Seriously, if you would have told me it’d be the “worst case scenario” for those 2 guys I wouldn’t have even thought it’d be this bad.

– We’re gonna need a punt returner next year.

– It’s taken A LOT but I’m almost at my breaking point with Johnny Manziel. Almost. I’m still not ready to write him off yet. He definitely needs to grow the fuck up though.

– I don’t think I could say anything about Josh Gordon, Johnny Manziel, or Justin Gilbert that hasn’t already been said… but holy shit I can’t want for Pettine’s press conference on Monday. I hope he brings it strong.

-This Alabama fan on Instagram sure doesn’t like Johnny Manziel

– Thank GOD Jimmy Haslam isn’t firing Pettine or Farmer. That’d set this franchise back about 5 years. Think about this though- if Harbaugh already wasn’t going to Michigan would Haslam back Pettine like he did? Something to ponder.

RIP Cleveland Browns 2014 Season. See you guys at a draft party somewhere. Let’s do some shots. Thanks for reading these every Monday.
