5 Locks for Week 1 in the NFL

Last season, in my weekly NFL Power Rankings, I made predictions that were right 95% of the time. Don’t expect that kind of accuracy this season, you can count on it being better, because I refuse to pick any New England Patriots games. With my bias out of the way, I hope that I can help you nerds out with your Fantasy Football squads and maybe add another lock to your parlays. Just give the extra money to charity or something.

1. C.J. Spiller plays running back in the NFL. This means the Bills still suck, because they can’t stop the run. Look for Miami to roll the Bills in Buffalo on opening day with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams getting about 40 carries. Don’t look for help with the spread, because Vegas knows exactly how bad Buffalo is, too.

Reggie Bush Will Lose His Hardware, But Not Because He Slept with a Kardashian

Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Heisman Trust plans to announce their recall of the 2005 Heisman Trophy awarded to the former USC standout.

“The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.” is the first line of the Heisman Trust’s mission statement, and the last two words are biting Reggie Bush on the a$$. NCAA investigations found clear evidence that Bush had received improper benefits, cash, and gifts during his Heisman year, which will most likely lead the BCS to also reclaim USC’s National Title in the near future.

Bush is still dodging interviews, and feels that his pro career is more important than what happened in college.

But Reggie, your pro career started in college.

Kent Somers, writer for The Arizona Republic, tweeted on Monday that Matt Leinart feels like he outplayed the competition during the preseason, and attributes his demotion, or as I like to call it reassignment to clipboard holder, to off the field reasons.

Well let’s give Matt the benefit of the doubt and try to come up with a list of what those off the field reasons could be.

1. He found out Paris Hilton has herpes and has been stressing out over it when he should be studying 3-4 defenses.

2. The Reggie Bush scandal at USC has had Matt losing sleep.

3.

4. Baby momma issues.

5.  He found out Paris Hilton has herpes .

The Adventures of Ozzie and Manny’s Sh*t, Ramirez Joins White Sox

I’m sure this pop culture reference will hit supersonic as it flies over the heads of our younger readers, but the pairing of Manny Ramirez and Ozzie Guillen is something out of a Nick at Night sitcom wet dream.

As the McCourts begin their fire sale of the Dodgers, the White Sox and Ozzie Guillen are grabbing at straws to stay alive in the A.L. Central. Unfortunately for them, they’re chasing the Minnesota Twins, who they can’t seem to beat this season.

Many sports writers may see Manny and Ozzie as an explosive pairing, but I think we’ll see these two get along just fine. It’s always the two craziest people you know who end up in love.

Michigan Names Whole Team as Starting QB, Bo Schembechler Spins in Grave

The last decade was very unkind to the University of Michigan’s football program, and this one doesn’t appear to be starting in any better of a position.

Coach Rich Rodriguez has listed three quarterbacks as the starters for this Saturday’s opener with UCONN at the Big House. Tate Forcier, Devin Gardner, and Denard Robinson are all competing for the starting job, and have all won somehow.

Great leadership Rich. Picking a QB is like picking your girlfriend, you have to choose just one and be faithful. Even if you find out she can’t cook or clean a few weeks into the relationship.

Then again, Rich has been known to go out and put younger talent on the roster in his personal life too. Allegedly.
