The silly things some extremely rich athletes pay money for. Extravagant salaries for their entourage, high priced hookers and child support. Then there’s the brilliant idea of putting 23 TV screen in your car. That’s what St. Louis Rams backup center Richie Incognito got talked into by a quick talking stero system tech.

“Incognito was having a stereo installed when the technician suggested a few TVs there, a few TVs there, TVs almost everywhere. Incognito, a 6-3, 305-pound immovable wall on the field, was a pushover at the stereo store.”

He has a BMW 750, which is not a sports bar, but just a large sedan. They go from the trunk to the visors and even on the gas cap door. I just hope there’s some so passing cars can at least watch whatever is on. After being excited initially, he admits he does not even turn on the TV’s anymore. He even says, “Someone please steal this thing!’”

Someone will steal it if you promise not to call the police.

Colts now know what it’s like to be a loser. K-Fed is really good at it.

Cowboys accomplished what other teams could not. Get pressure on Peyton to win the game. They mixed coverages, they hit him hard, and they forced bad throws. Manning threw two interceptions (three all year coming in) and lost a fumble. In his final attempt to tie the game, a very un-Manning like throw sailed very high out of the endzone.

Give credit to Tony Romo who is Mr. Texas right now. No doubt a Bledsoe led team woud not have had the same outcome. Praise to T.O. He was so quiet yet efficient with 4 catches for 70 yards. No screaming, showboating, dropping crucial passes or overdosing at all during the game. Much welcomed.

Finally I just have to talk about Mike Vanderjadt. He nearly got a Christmas fruitcake (that’s what he is) from the Colts. In what could be the worst free agent signing of the off season, Vanderjadt missed two field goals that just barely missed right. That could have been the difference. He once was the most accurate kicker in the NFL but he’s quickly becoming an unemployed kicker. During the game a Vanderjadt commerical aired on the jumbotron and the crowded booed. What stupid company paid for his endorsement?

NBC’s flex scheduling is a great addition but it still cannot forsee the future. In what looked like an okay Eagles vs Colts matchup next Sunday has now turned into “What can Al Michael and John Madden fluff about for three long hours?” Either Jeff Garcia or A.J. Feely is going to start. Yep I can’t wait to for that. Just think…NBC passed on the Bears vs Patriots which could be a Super Bowl preview. FOX thanks them.

Torn ACL. Out for the season. Six of the most dreaded words I do not enjoy hearing in sports. Nearly as bad as “Tony Kornheiser on Monday Night Football”. The ACL tear can look deceiving but it guarantees 6-8 months of grueling physical therapy. Brutal.

David Carr tied the NFL record for consecutive completions with 22. Say what? I would have believed 22 consecutive incompletions first. His soul now belongs to the gods of the underworld.

Is there no hotter team right now than the San Diego Super Chargers? First team ever come back from 17 point deficits in back-to-back weeks and win. In what started out as another loss in Mile High turned into “Jake Plummer you f—ing suck!!” by the end of the game.

There is no better running back now or maybe in the history of the NFL when his careers is over than LT. Four more touchdowns to make him the fastest player in NFL history to reach 100 TD’s. Put him down for at least two more when he faces Oakland next week.

Right now I would take the Chargers over the Colts. They could go touchdown for touchdown with them in a shootout. Conservative Marty ball is gone. We all know the Colts can be run on. LT would carve his way through that defensive line. Philip Rivers has proven to be a cool, calm, and collected, quarterback. Their defense still gives up points but add Steriod Shaun Merriman and you know they can pressure Manning.

17 point deficits on the road are nearly insurmountable. It’s so easy to just shut down. Says a ton about a team that can come back and win in back to back weeks. Also says they need to start off the game a little bit more prepared. Give me the Chargers over the Colts in the playoffs in January.

Count me as a fan of the suit and tie.

This YouTube video has nothing to do with sports. However I feel like I should share this video.

On Tuesday a UCLA student, Mostafa Tabatabainejad (what a name), was just chilling in the UCLA library around 11:30pm. Community service officers came around to do a routine student ID check. He did not have one. Then this is what happened.

The CSOs left, returning minutes later, and police officers arrived to escort the student out. By this time the student had begun to walk toward the door with his backpack when an officer approached him and grabbed his arm, at which point the student told the officer to let him go. A second officer then approached the student as well.

The student began to yell “get off me,” repeating himself several times.

It was at this point that the officers shot the student with a Taser for the first time, causing him to fall to the floor and cry out in pain. The student also told the officers he had a medical condition.

He was tasered at least four more times. He curses at the cops (natural reaction) and screams “Here’s your Patriot Act!!!” Apparently he was even handcuffed throughout the whole ordeal.

Police sometimes have a uniform and badge and feel like they can abuse power. How many times have we seen they brutally attack person when it seems like the other person is not doing anything to warrant it? Then they go on the defensive by saying they do not know if a guy is armed and dangerous.

This kid was at the library on a weeknight!! How dangerous can that be?? His most dangerous weapon was probably his calculator. Okay the kid should have just gotten the hell out of there but he took too long for the police. He kept screaming for them to keep their hands off him. Boom. Tased. Then afterwards they just kept pumping the juice into his body. I’ve read enough stories of people dying from being hit. This kid is lucky.

A smart UCLA student captured this all on a cell phone (pretty good damn quality if you ask me). It has spread around the country and I believe it shows the useless need of force in this situation. Pat the kid down. Drag his ass out of there. How can two or three police not physically escort a skinny college student out of there? Is that so hard?

If this happened at let’s say in Philadelphia or Miami the other student may have gotten chairs and started a riot against the police. They outnumbered the cops and they were clearly telling them to stop tasing the kid. Instead this is UCLA so they just watched and probably went to Starbucks afterwards to talk about what just happened.

I write a sports blog so I sit in my pajamas to write about it.

Laugh all you want but I watched the season finale of “Dancing with the Stars”. It’s not that bad. Who could resist a match up between Emmitt Smith and AC Slater?

Back when the show started, I predicted Emmitt would make it to the top 3 after the first show. After the second show, I went even further to say he would win it and I’d even put money on him to win. I just had a feeling he had a strong presence that would reach out to the judges and the audience. Plus that large black man could really dance. My only dancing credential is that I’ve watched music videos on MTV.

I was correct. Emmitt did take home the trophy last night and deservedly so. I did ending up wagering and won. Though I watched the first two episodes, I stopped watching until the last two. This isn’t at must watch American Idol level for me. I did need to see some horrible D list celebrities try to dance between the beginning and end.

The final was worth of space on my TIVO and it did not disappoint. Emmitt, in his freestyle dance, performed to the music of MC Hammer’s “You Can’t Touch This”. He did the running man and the typewriter. That alone deserves many votes from MC Hammer.

In the end, Emmitt won and he said it’s right up there with a Super Bowl victory. Laugh all you want but to do something you’ve never done before, turns out to be one of the most physically demanding and technical, and end up as a champion is a pretty rewarding feeling.

Never in a week have we had two albums released that have been so ridiculed. Sure Shaq’s had an album but he did not have the caliber of K-Fed releasing on the same week.

One artist from the sports world. One from the celebrity world. One you knew had a CD coming out. The other maybe not so. Both cannot rap. One had to sell more albums however.

Ron Artest sold a pathetic 343 albums in his first week according to Soundscan. That’s just embarassing. I tried to find the lowest selling album in the first week of all time. Not a popular Google search but I did find one person that Ron Arest outsold recently. A chick from American Idol. She was the tall brunette who played basketball. She did not make the final 12 last season. I think only people in prison bought her CD.

Some artist that out sold Artest (#34,228) on Amazon are David Hasselhoff, William Shatner, Paris Hilton, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer and William Hung’s Christmas album (#8,734).

Kevin Federline, a celebrity by osmosis, had a better week than Artest but a huge pile of dung compared to legitimate artists. 6,500 sorry souls bought his album. His ex’s CD “Oops I Did It Again” sold 6,500 in the first hour. In terms of working on his credibility as a rapper, it’s buried about six feet under ground. He even had to give away free tickets for his concerts. They’re now suing for attempted assault and battery. It’s safe to call K-Fed the worst selling white rapper of all time. Vanilla Ice…word to your mother.

To make his week even worse, his golden ticket, Britney Spears, filed for divorce. Reportedly she did it by text message.
