Frank ‘F%C#Kin’ Clark

by

You gotta love Frank Clark. He gives 100% when he plays, and zero F#cks when the cameras are on him.

Luckily the smart folks at NBC had the ‘beep’ button ready, because they knew that Clark would go off on one of his many rants.  This is one of those times.

Clark went off on how the Chiefs were able to handle Derek Henry, who was only able to gain 68 yards on the day, when he had gashed for 377 yards the previous two games.

Clark didn’t let loose, dropping 8 words that needed to be bleeped.

He still rates the Chiefs D as the ‘best in the world’, but he will have to see for sure when they play the 49ers on Feb 2nd.

NFL Player Trivia

by

How much do you know about the NFL?
Would you consider yourself a genius of the gridiron, or a straight up novice?
What is your QB IQ really like?

We have created a fun quiz for you to test your knowledge of NFL Players.
You need to be able to correctly identify the players in the quiz to get full points.
Can you get 25/25?

Some of these pictures are pretty tricky, so you will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the players of old to be able to successfully get perfect on this quiz.
Answers for the quiz are at the bottom of this page.

Here are some of the top players we think of when we think of NFL GOATS.

Jim Brown

Jim Brown was an unstoppable beast. Not only did he crush everyone he ran into during the late 50s and 60s, he was also a badass mofo. Brown was intimidating on the field, as his running power was so strong, NFL weaklings of the era struggled to contain him.
Brown would be nightmare for the League this days, as he was always vocal about the calamity of events that were happening around him.
Whether it was segregation, the Vietnam War, or economic disparity-Brown always had an opinion.
Heck of an athlete and not a bad actor as well!

Walter Payton

‘Sweetness’ was not only one of the toughest, most fluid runners in the NFL, he was also a remarkably humble man as well. Payton was an iconic Bear, who was nearly unstoppable on the field. Despite the fact that he could easily rush a 100 yard game every week, he didn’t trash talk, didn’t gloat, didn’t rub success in others faces. A truly class act.

Joe Montana

Could there be a more iconic QB that Montana? He won so many awards, that many are now named after him. One of the most solid QBs in the SuperBowl, he was nearly perfect in several big games, and was a terror in the fourth quarter. If you have never watched any of his games, go back and watch them!

Barry Sanders

Another RB who could be considered the ‘classiest’ guy in the NFL. Sanders played with a quiet intensity that was terrifying. He could easily gash oppositions for tonnes of yards, yet he too has one of the most humble players on the planet. He retired before than he really had to, and when Barry talked, the world listened. Always tough to try to make a career in Detroit, but he never turned his back on the city, and gave them everything he had.

Make sure you come and join us for our SuperBowl Party at Long Acre Sun Feb 2nd.
We will have a quiz prior to the big game.

Antwaun Weeds

by

Ruh roh Raggy!
You get busted with the green stuff again?

Dallas Cowboys DT Antwuan Woods was busted this week with 2 mason jars full of herb and some glass paraphernalia.
You can hear in the video when he gets busted, that he laments for having ‘too much marijuana.’
Like he knew he had too much when he went out, then saw the cop cars and thought ‘yep, this is waaayy too much.’

Woods was already out on injury for the Bears game, and this isn’t going to help him out at all.
No word yet confirming that Woods would be fired by Dallas, but given the way that NFL owners deal with pot crimes, he could be out of a job.

Pretty crazy world we live in where some athletes are encouraged to use CBD to deal with pain and injuries, but the NFL is staunchly anti-weed.
Making it even crazier than in some states, not only would Woods not be pulled over, but even if caught-he would have got off with a warning.

A warning to all you jazz-cabbage enthusiasts out there, don’t get caught with the green-or you are going down big time.
Popping an ex-girlfriend in the jaw is still ok though. So long as you apologise.

Naughty Phillip

by

Did you know that Phillip Rivers is a naughty, naughty potty mouth?
It’s true.

When most people think of Phillip Rivers they think about a guy who has never won it all.
A guy who stuck it out in a town that was tired of the NFL, and hence he had to pack it up to another city where they were even less enthusiastic about football.
Also most people make fun of the fact he has 58 kids, all named with the acronym P.R.

What most people don’t know is that Phillip Rivers is a trash-talking, rib tickling, NFL fanny-fart.
When you watch the clip, what really strikes is that Rivers don’t give AF.
It’s like he represses all of his anger throughout the week, just to be able to save up for Sunday.
(you better not curse on the Lord’s day mister!)

What will happen to Rivers next year?
Will he tough it out in the wilds of LA, or will he seek greener pastures for his team and family.
It also brings up the question of how many more years he might have in the NFL.
Would anyone be willing to take a chance on him in 2020 knowing the old dog only has a few tricks left?
Given the crop of injuries and QB failures in the league…anything is possible!

 

The Rise of Jimmy

by

Gotta love a good trailer cut with unlicensed NFL footage.
That’s what this guy did here in a touching and emphatic tribute to Jimmy Garoppolo set to a Star Wars theme.
Not sure how long YouTube will allow this sucker to be up here-but it’s a fun watch.

Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda.
Anyone else getting sick of this little idiot?
Let’s be real for a second-the only reason Baby Yoda exists is to sell Christmas toys.
Anyone who thinks that it is there to ‘save us’ or is an allegory to something grander in your existence is kidding themselves.
It’s all about the Baby Yoda.

So is Jimmy G the Baby Yoda of the NFL this season?
Well-there are probably loads of women across America that might have named one of their ‘toys’ Jimmy G, so who knows.

The real question is will they be a fad this year, or do they have the force to be able to dismantle their opponents.
The stage is set between an epic fight, and if history and culture are prepping us for who the villain is-it seems pretty obvious.
The Patriots.

If the Patriots face the 49ers in the Super Bowl this year, then Disney had something to do with it.
To create an epic franchise of good vs evil, well that’s their game.

The video is fun though, even if the thought of Baby Yoda is annoying.
