The Jive and Live Five – Week 7

The Jive Five

28.   Vikings – Flashes of greatness from Christian Ponder, superstar play from Jared Allen – These guys won’t be here long.

29.   Cardinals – Kevin Kolb seems to have been a bad decision, they are slobbing Kolb!

30.   Dolphins – Up 15-0 with 3 minutes versus the Broncos, and they get a back slap from god himself!  There is no stopping Divine intervention.

31.   Rams – When you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Sam Bradford goes down with an injury. On the bright side, they should get a high draft pick to help out on offense.

32    Colts – Not sure what #5 means to this chick, but I am sure she didn’t paint the number on her body because Kerry Collins wears it.  Maybe it’s the number of dudes she hooked up with this weekend because of the Colts 62-7 loss to the Saints, either way its super hot.  What is not hot is her messy room!  What a slob!

Out of Jive - Jaguars

The Live Five

1.      Packers – Only undefeated team left and winter is approaching, now go try to beat them in Lambeau.

2.      Patriots – Pats, Pats, Pats…  Looks like a 13-3 year or better is inevitable.

3.     49ers – With Cleveland coming into town, looks like the Niners will keep rolling.

4.     Saints – 62-7, nuff said.   

5.      Steelers – Slow start, but Big Ben and the boys are back to their winning ways.

Out of Live – Lions, Ravens 

The Jive and Live Five – Week 6

The Jive Five

28.   Jaguars –This team should just move to L.A.

29.   Cardinals –Larry Fitzgerald got his contract, but that’s all he got.  Kurt Warner’s phone is ringing.

30.   Colts – Painter may be painting a life size portrait of Andrew Luck for Jim Irsay.

31.   Rams – The pick up of Brandon Lloyd should help this useless receiving corps, if Sam Bradford can get healthy they may step it up.

32    Dolphins - Matt Moore should change his name to Matt Less.  Good thing the Dolphin fans have girls like this to make life a bit more enjoyable during these rough times.

The Live Five

1.      Packers – Aaron Rodgers has lived up to his billing.  Will be top 3 overall fantasy pick in 2012 if he keeps it up.

2.      Ravens – Next three are Jags, Cardinals and Seahawks.  I don’t see them losing.

3.     Patriots – The Cowboys played them tough, but Brady was Brady again in the final 2 minutes.  

4.     49ers -  Jim Harbaugh may get this team to 13-3 and have a first round bye in the playoffs.  Amazing being they did NOTHING during the off season.

5.      Lions – I am convinced that the Lions lost Sunday’s game because the Booty Lounge was impounded.  Free the Booty Lounge! 

Pat Tilman Tribute by NHL Goalie

In a real classy move Jason LaBarbera the goaltender of the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes will wear a mask designed by artist David Arrigo to honor U.S. and Canadian Armed Forces serving overseas. One side of the mask is dedicated to Pat Tillman the defensive back who played in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals. Tillman quit football to enlist in the U.S. Army with his brother Kevin after the 9/11 terror attacks. Tilman was killed serving his country on April 22, 2004 in Afghanistan.

The mask shows Tilman with his brother Kevin in their U.S. Army fatigues, there is also a picture of Tilman in his #40 Arizona Cardinals jersey holding his football helmet. The other side of the mask depicts a soldier in red with a helicopter flying over his head. The front of the mask has a yellow ribbon, acknowledging those serving overseas.

Here are some quotes from the artist David Arrigo:
"I had read a book about Tillman prior to the request and had taken great interest in the story,"
"With all circumstances leading up to the passing of Pat Tillman aside, I felt that he put a face to the everyday soldier,"
"Personally, whether or not you agree with the actions overseas, I feel we need to support, to no end, our brave forces,"

In the age where current athletes are concerned with endorsement money, Twitter beefing, Cristal popping, model dating, it is nice to see LaBarbera paying respects to the men and women of the U.S. and Canadian armed forces.
