Tuesday's Classic Clip: Bart turned into a box

The Red Sox have been eating retard sandwiches

Lets start from the top...They're going to get rid of Manny Ramirez. They are going to break up the most destructive duo (Ramirez and David Ortiz) since Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig for JD Drew and Julio Lugo? They've always thought how great it would be to use Manny's 20-million a year towards other players, so these are the two they are going to put in there? Players who will cost the Sox 23 million in stead of 20? How about just keeping Manny and A-Gon (20 mil and 3 mil), whoops that ship has sailed. No we won't pay Johnny Damon 13 million because he plays his ass off every day, we'd rather spend 14-15 million on JD Drew. The same JD Drew, who has been called soft by Tony LaRussa (scary after LaRussa pegged Edgar Renteria on the nose) and who has been on the DL 7 times in the last 8 years while recording only one 100 RBI season. This JD Drew is going to join the .277 hitting Julio Lugo, who is a major step down defensively from Alex Gonzalez (almost 3 times as many errors), to add the pop that Manny would leave. How about the protection for Big Papi? Who could provide the fear for pitchers that gives Papi his quality at bats? Could they turn prospects around to Atlanta for Andruw Jones? That could work, but how about this:

`

If nothing else the city of Boston should be able to enjoy watching Manny pass 500 home runs. As other cities have enjoyed watching home run records fall over the past 10 years, while most of them have been ruined by the steroid era, watching Ramirez join Ted Williams and Jimmy Foxx in the 500+ club would be an experience even the dumbasses in the front office would be able to capitalize on. Instead he's gonna do it in San Francisco or LA?

And mark UB's words right now: THE RED SOX ARE NOT GOING TO SIGN DAISUKE MATSUZAKA. Some how they are going to screw this up. There is something fishy about the way they blew the rest of baseball out of the water with the 51-million dollar bid and now that they are low balling this guy, Ubsey can just smell this sh*t sandwich from a mile away. Only the Red Sox would be this stupid.

`

Lucky for the Three Stooges and Theo, now that Ubsey's tickets are going to be close to $120 a seat, the douchebag owners won't have to worry about UB making a scene at Fenway.

Woozle Wozzle?

Bearing down; Pats get BIG win

With your Uncle Buck on hand last night the Patriots outlasted the Chicago Bears in a 17-13 slugfest that included hard nosed defense and big plays by two of the league's leaders.

The playoff atmosphere returned to Gillette Stadium Sunday as the now 9-2 Bears came into town for only their 3rd ever game in Foxboro (Pats are 3-0 at home vs. the Bears and 6-4 all time). The crowd was rocking and rolling and admiring the new field that was installed in a quick 8 days, which is months shy of the traditional installation time. From the opening kick both teams slugged it out, with the Bears getting most of the big punches in on defense stripping the Pats of 4 balls, 3 of which were fumbled over to Chicago. For most of the day UB has been listening to radio callers and hosts referring to a sloppy game as the Pats and Bears committed 9 turnovers, but anyone who watched the game would have to admit that save for the Rex Grossman fumble in the 1st quarter and an ill advised Tom Brady pass to Troy Brown, the other 7 turnovers were really more good defensive football. UB was very impressed with the way the Bears attacked the ball all night.

Speaking of defense Richard Seymour had one of the best games of his career. A blocked field goal, a recovered fumble, a sack...He did it all and yet was surpassed by the performance of Asante Samuel who had 3 picks, including the game clincher. The last Patriot to have 3 picks in a game...Ty Law in the 2003-04 AFC title game against Peyton Manning and the Colts.

The biggest loss of the game turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of the year. Junior Seau, the 50 year veteran of the NFL, who joined up with the Pats after "Graduating" from Miami was thought to be a possible back up veteran to help stabilize the linebacking core...Seau quickly became a starter at inside linebacker and made liars out of the Pats fans who for years said he was nothing but flash. The crowd gave Junior a standing ovation has he left the field. Monday it was announced he's done for the year and he could be done for his career.

`

And then there was Chad Jackson...UB knows he's a rookie but he had two balls in his hands (grow up) and nothing but green in front of him...It could have been a blow out but no, it was a squeaker...
`
As for the rookie kicker, Stephen Gostkowski...The kid came up big. A 52-yarder extended the Pats lead to 10 in the 2nd quarter. Thankfully, Lovie Smith decided to call a time out during Gostkowski's 1st kick, also a 52-yarder that he missed right. The second kicked eeked over the cross bar and stayed just enough left.

Perhaps the most memorable play from the Pats 8th win of the year came from Tom Brady who junked last year's defensive player of the year Brian Urlacher and scampered for 9 yards and a key 1st down. Urlacher later said he thought Brady was going to slide, was caught flat footed on Brady's juke move. A few plays later Brady found Ben Watson (who had 2 fumbles) in the endzone for the go-ahead touchdown.
`
Up next for the Pats is the Detroit Lions at Gillette. Until then UB will have to try and forget those new cheerleader out fits so he can get some work done...
`
Yowza...

Friday fwds: Shirt alert

History of the NFL on Thanksgiving (Originally Published Nov. 05)

Oh boy the season of giving is upon us and your Uncle Buck could not be happier. Thanksgiving might just be the greatest holiday of the year, and one thing that makes it so great is NFL football. With the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys hosting the annual games again this year, UB takes a look at the history of the "Turkey Bowls."

According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame the first pro Thanksgiving games took place on November 25, 1920. There were six games, including one team from Detroit. The first time a current NFL team played in a pro thanksgiving game was when the Chicago Bears were shut out 6-0 by the Chicago Cardinals. The Chicago Cardinals would later move to St. Louis and then Arizona. The first time the Detroit Lions took place in a Thanksgiving game was their 1st year in the NFL, 1934. The Lions lost to the Bears 19-16. The next year the Lions beat the Bears 14-2 (above).

From 1952-1963 the NFL Thanksgiving day game was between the Lions and the Green Bay Packers. (The Dallas Texans and Bears also played in 1952.) The Lions went 10-3 in those games.

Dallas entered the Turkey Day picture in 1962 when the Texans took on the Bears, in Akron, Ohio. The Dallas Cowboys (Left, who beat the Lions 20-7 on Sunday) began taking part in 1966, defeating the Cleveland Browns 26-14. The AFL had their own Turkey Day games beginning in 1960, but after the merge in 1970 Thanksgiving Day belonged to the Lions and Cowboys. In 1975 the Cowboys did not play, instead the Buffalo Bills beat the St. Louis Cardinals 32-14. The Cowboys returned to defeat the Cardinals a year later, but in 1977 the Cardinals were blasted by the Miami Dolphins 55-14. The Cowboys returned for good in 1978, defeating the Redskins 37-10. The Cowboys and Lions have never met on Thanksgiving.

What about UB's beloved Patriots on Thanksgiving, you may ask...well...The Patriots didn't join the AFL until 1960 and didn't play on Turkey Day until 1984, but in 1946 the Boston Yanks defeated the Lions 34-10. It was Boston's 1st Thanksgiving game, however, New England was represented for years by the Providence Steam Roller, which had been playing in Turkey Day games since 1926.

In 1984, the New England Patriots made their 1st appearance, losing to the Cowboys 20-17. In 2000 the Patriots got their butts handed to them 34-9 in Detroit, but returned the favor in 2002, beating the Lions 20-12 (above).

The NFL has made the throwback look a tradition at the Thanksgiving games. In 2002 the Patriots returned to the "Pat Patriot" look (above) in their win over the Lions.

UB's favorite Turkey Day game involving the Cowboys happened in 1993, when Leon Lett's blunder gave the hated Miami Dolphins a 16-14 win. First there was a rare snowstorm in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, allowing the powder to get through the partially open roof of Texas Stadium and on to the field. Lett, who had a Pro Bowl career, became the goat when after the Cowboys blocked a Pete Stoyanovich field-goal attempt, trailing by one. All the Cowboys had to do was stay away from the ball and they could run out the clock. The ball skipped to the Dallas 7-yard-line when Lett attempted to pick up the ball. The dope instead slid through the snow into it. When he touched the ball, it became live once again, and Miami's Jeff Dellenbach picked it up with three seconds left. Given the second chance, Stoyanovich hammered home the game-winning points.

UB's favorite Lions moment on Thanksgiving (not counting watching the amazing Barry Sanders or the Patriots 2002 win) was watching the hated Pittsburgh Steelers get screwed by the officials during the overtime coin toss in 1998. After the Lions had rallied from a 13-3 third-quarter deficit to force overtime, the captains from Detroit and Pittsburgh met at midfield to begin the process of deciding matters in sudden death. As referee Phil Luckett tossed the coin in the air, controversy ensued. The coin came up tails and it appeared at first to fans watching on CBS that Pittsburgh running back Jerome Bettis had called it accurately. But closer examination revealed that there may have been a second Steeler quietly said "heads." After some arguments the Lions took the ball and went right down the field to convert on a game winning field goal. The incident restarted talk of changing the over time rules, however, no change was ever made on the first to score wins rule.

This Thursday the Lions take on the Atlanta Falcons and the Cowboys host the Denver Broncos. The Lions are 33-30-2 in 64 Thanksgiving Games. In 37 Thanksgiving games the Cowboys are 23-13-1. UB will be watching...Gobble, Gobble...
