The Steelers had their asses handed to them by the Ravens on Sunday and since then, they (with the exception of Troy Polamalu and Casey Hampton who have admitted to the woodshed beating) have done nothing but bitch and moan. What a bunch of crybabies going on and on about the Ravens alleged chop blocking. Just shut up and take out your frustrations on the pansies from Seattle already!
Speaking of whining, the Titans’ Chris Johnson is now claiming that those Baltimore Bad Boys tried to put a boo-boo on him during the 2008 Divisional Playoffs. As if that wasn’t enough sad song singing coming from Music City, Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray plans on delivering a little payback this week to the Ravens if they continue their cut-blocking ways.
“You’ve got to make sure you’re doing something that’s hopefully going to hurt them, too. You can’t just be the recipient of everything. You’ve got to start doing something that’s going to get you back on track and hopefully they’ll tone that stuff down when you do something else.”
Real smart there Jerry. Now the game officials and the league will be watching more closely than they otherwise may have. Get your checkbook out knucklehead!
Teddy Bruschi is another knucklehead. Earlier this week Chad Ochocinco tweeted:
“I’ve never seen a machine operate like that n person. [T]o see video game numbers put up n person was WOW.”
Ok, so Ocho was fawning and/or sucking up to Tom Brady. Whatever! It seemed pretty sincere to Mojo. But obviously not to Bruschi who must have skipped his Prozak that morning.
“Drop the awe factor, OK, Ocho, Chad, drop the awe factor … You’re not a fan, all right? You’re not someone who’s on another team or watching TV. You’re not an analyst. You’re a part of it. They want you to be a part of it. So get with the program because obviously you’re not getting it and you’re tweeting because you’re saying, ‘It’s amazing to see’? It’s amazing to see because you don’t understand it! You still don’t understand it and it’s amazing to you because you can’t get it.”
Maybe Bruschi should chill and hit the town with Mr. Gisele Bundchen and get “lubed up.”
ESPN asked earlier this week, “What if Mike Vick was white? Would a white football player have gotten nearly two years in prison for what Vick did to dogs?” Mojo doesn’t think those innocent dogs really cared!
Now on to Mojo’s Mojo and the picks for Week 2…
· Bears @ Saints (-6 ½): Looks like a big number, right? It ain’t! Saints cover!
· Chiefs @ Lions (-8): Looks like a big number right? It ain’t! Lions cover!
· Jaguars @ Jets (-9): Looks like a big number right? It ain’t! (Sensing a theme here?) Jets cover!
· Raiders @ Bills (-3): Take your No Doz before this one. Raiders win outright.
· Cardinals @ Redskins (-3 ½): Like the Skins but that half point is too tempting. Cards cover but lose.
· Ravens (-6) @ Titans: Ravens win but they’ll start flat and allow Titans to keep it close and cover.
· Seahawks @ Steelers (-14): The Seahawks stink but the 14 is too tempting. Mojo likes the points but Pittsburgh wins.
· Packers (-10) @ Panthers: Cam Newton finds out just how bad the Cardinals pass defense is. He’ll flop in his home debut as the Packers win going away, easily covering.
· Bucs @ Vikings (-3): Mojo loves the points and the utes (using best Vinny Gambini voice). Young Bucs win straight up.
· Browns (-2 ½) @ Indianapolis: Here’s hoping you have some No Doz left over from that Raiduz v. Bills game. Horseshoes win this one outright.
· Cowboys (-3) @ 49ers: Unless Ted Ginn, Jr. can take two more to the house, this one won’t be close. Cowboys bounce back and cover – in a big way.
· Texans (-3) @ Dolphins: Watch the Texans melt in the South Florida heat as the Dolphins win it outright.
· Chargers @ Patriots (-7): Philip Rivers picks up where Chad Henne left off with New England’s Swiss cheese secondary. Take the points as the Bolts pull the upset.
· Bengals @ Broncos (-3 ½): Kyle Orton gets the hometown crowd off his case and guides Denver to a convincing win.
· Eagles (- 2 ½) @ Atlanta: Vick’s homecoming won’t be pleasant. Dirty birds flip the bird at Vick like No. 7 did to the Atlanta fans a few years back. Falcons win outright.
· Rams @ Giants (-6): Tom Coughlin will deliver more scowls and frowns than Eli Manning will points. Big Blue is more like Little Boy Blue. Rams pull the upset.
