A Backyard Football Prank With Painful Results

I haven’t put up a backyard football video for a while, as Rovitz and I have both been pumping out a lot of content lately probably due to having breaks from college, but Rovitz showed me this video that I couldn’t wait to post until we had minimal content. I’d pinpoint the part you should watch for the great hit, but the buildup isn’t that bad to sit through.

You have to feel bad for that kid. Poor bastard didn’t see it coming at all. On a scale of dirty hits from one to ten, that’s a “Hines Ward.” Speaking of, fuck Hines Ward. I’m glad you and the Steelers aren’t in the playoffs.

The First Ever SSF Post-Season Awards

Owen Schmitt of the Seattle Seahawks wins the Craziest Fullback award.

With the NFL regular season finally completed, it’s time to hand out some hardware to some of the year’s best performers. SSF writers Rovitz and Samerochocinco have the regular awards like Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, plus some other innovative awards you can (probably) only find here at SSF!

FOOTBALLDAY Recap: What Was My Picks Record For The Season? (And How Did I Compare To ESPN Analysts?)

His name is Ricardo, the Calculator Monkey.

I should have probably done this in the last FOOTBALLDAY, but I totally forgot and was too lazy at the time. Week after week I would pick games and type up my records. Before I forget, for the last FOOTBALLDAY, my record was 10-6.

I decided to do a full count of the whole season and see what my final percentage of getting picks correct was. Enlisting the help of Ricardo, the Calculator Monkey (who also works in Accounting for SSF) I figured out my record for the season. Drum roll please.

(drum roll)

The final record for the 2009 regular season in FOOTBALLDAY picks is….

Willis McGahee Absolutely Ruins Hiram Eugene

This has probably circulated around a little bit, but I cannot hold back from putting this video of great NFL humiliation up. Think of it as reimbursement for the lack of backyard football videos recently.

In Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders, Ravens running back Willis McGahee broke through a hole for a big run, and seemed to be destined to go to for six. Raiders safety Hiram Eugene was the only thing left in his way. Now that I’ve set up the highlight, just watch the video to see why Eugene should change his ridiculous name due to embarrassment.

Wow. That was unbelievably terrible. That explains why you went undrafted, Hiram. You made Brian Russell look like a dominant player.

Here’s a handy GIF found here for the most important part of the video, also for when the clip inevitably gets taken down from Youtube by the No Fun League.

Man, that does not get old. Someone needs to put Yakety Sax behind it to make it a timeless classic.

Thanks to SSF’s own Rovitz for bringing this video to my attention.

Raiders Set To Fire Cable

According to the Oakland Tribune, Al Davis is planning to fire Tom Cable as coach of the Oakland Raiders.  On one hand you have to feel bad for the man losing his job, but on the plus side, he would no longer have to deal with that mess of an organization.

Reports indicate that Cable will be fired.

Chris Johnson Vs. Usain Bolt?

These two men may be racing to determine the worlds fastest human.

According to ESPN and other news sources, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson and Usain Bolt have been trying to arrange a race to find out who the fastest man on earth is.

Early Look At The 2010 Draft

The 2009 Regular Season has finally ended, and with that, it means we can start to turn some of our attention towards the 2010 Draft.  Here is the top 20, all non-playoff teams, and the order that they will be picking.  There are three ties in the top 20 that will be determined by a coin flip at a later date, so there may be a couple small changes to this order as the draft draws nearer.

1. St. Louis (1-15)
2. Detroit (2-14)
3. Tampa Bay (3-13)
4. Washington (4-12)
5. Kansas City (4-12)
6. Seattle (5-11)
7. Cleveland (5-11)
8. Oakland (5-11)
9. Buffalo (6-10)
10t. Denver (8-8) (Traded from Chicago)
10t. Jacksonville (7-9)
12. Miami (7-9)
13. San Francisco (8-8)
14. Seattle (Traded from Denver)
15. New York Giants (8-8)
16t. Tennessee (8-8)
16t. San Francisco (Traded from Carolina)
18. Pittsburgh (9-7)
19t. Atlanta (9-7) 
19t. Houston (9-7)

The Early Games In Week 17 Weren’t Totally Meaningless

I hate you, Bernard Pollard.

Although most of the early games in Week 17 of the NFL season were filled with backups and terrible scores, history was made in a couple of the games by the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans, and might have saved a coach his job.

Jim Zorn Probably Won’t Have A Job Tomorrow

Jim Zorn wasn’t really liked as the Washington Redskins head coach. He didn’t seem to always know what was going on, critics, questioned his knowledge of football, and he also pulled this play.

Redskins fans might get their wishes granted as it has been reported by numerous sources that Zorn will be fired on Monday. If this happens, the Redskins will have to find their seventh head coach since 1999.

FOOTBALLDAY: The Last Regular-Season One

Welcome to the final regular-season FOOTBALLDAY post of this season, and Happy New Year! Hope your hangovers are treating you well! Boy, it’s been a great run, huh? Aww, don’t cry! It’ll be OK! I’m not sure what I want to do for the playoffs, as I love pushing my opinions and music on you, so I might run some compact ones with playoff picks and such. We’ll figure it out.
