Bleeping Idiots

Imagine Brett Favre meets Bizarro-world.

At the end of the NHL season, Colorado’s management told Joe Sakic to take his time choosing if returning to the Avalanche (or to the NHL/hockey at all) was an option.  This included if his time off to make a decision even went into training camp.  Everything was pretty much set up the total opposite of the Brett Favre situation; Management wants him to stick around, and is willing to give him anything he needs.  After all, he’s been the face of the team for so long now, they owe him that much, right?  Sakic finally made his decision on Wednesday by signing with the Avalanche for one more year, making this his 20th season, a deal that will cost the Avalanche $6 million.  Sakic, as you can guess, is worth every penny.  Sakic brings both a presence on the ice and in the locker room.  In 19 seasons, Sakic averages nearly 72 games per season, and has 623 goals and 1003 assists (1363 Games Played).  You can’t argue with a player that puts up a point per game.

The team here at Bleeping Idiots thought it would be interesting to take a look into the best duo’s by position (sorry, not including offensive line), and choose the ultimate winner. We each put in our vote and then debated(aka argued) who is #1 until we got a majority rule.

Positions we take a look into:

-Quarterback (Basically, the team that if there #1 goes down… They have a #2 that can start in the NFL)

-Running Back (Find the team with the BEST 1 – 2 punch)

-Wide Receiver (Finding the best #1 and #2 receiver duo in the league)

-Corner Back (Which 2 give offensive coordinators the biggest scare?)

-Tight End (Uh, Tight End Duo’s?)

-Safety (The 2 who terrorize opposing receivers across the middle)

-Linebacker Corps (Which 3 or 4 LB’s give the offense the toughest time?)

-Defensive End (2 Pass Rushing, Run Stopping Machines)

-Defensive Tackle (The best 2 DT’s of any team) note: we had some trouble because some of the best DT’s are in a 3-4 defense…

Quarterback

Winner: St. Louis Rams – Marc Bulger + Trent Green

After a tough debate, the Bleeping Idiots team came to decide on the St. Louis Rams as the best quarterback duo in the NFL. Our decision was decided on the fact that we feel that both of these quarterbacks have the ability to start in the NFL and win games on their shoulders.

I would say that Health is the biggest reason that we had a hard time deciding which team to go with. However, the Health issue aside, Marc Bulger has proven that he can be one of the better QBs in the league, and Trent Green has also proven that he can keep up with some of the best in the league. If it wasn’t for his most recent injuries, Trent Green would still be starting somewhere. I feel confident that if Marc Bulger goes down this year, the Rams would not miss a stride by having Trent Green take over.

Washington Redskins - Jason Campbell + Todd Collins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jeff Garcia + Luke McCown(or Brian Griese)

Arizona Cardinals - Kurt Warner + Matt Leinart

Seattle Seahawks - Matt Hasselbeck + Seneca Wallace

Dallas Cowboys – Tony Romo + Brad Johnson

This Weeks Bleeping Idiot of the Week is…. Shawne Merriman, LB of the San Diego Chargers.

I have looked at stats from last season, taken into consideration the starting line-ups for each team throughout last year, and the expected line-ups for this coming season. I have been through the injury reports from last year and the injury reports so far this season, and the facts are undeniable…Stephen Jackson is a better running back than Adrian Peterson.

Yes the unthinkable has happened, We have successfully replaced Reno Mahe!

The Eagles have successfully replaced their Kick Returner and Punt Returner Positions. For a while with Lorenzo Booker as the predicted KR, it looked like Reno was gonna be getting a phone call. Former Cal superstar punt returner Desean Jackson officially has gotten his “Devin Hester” on when nearly returning one to the house early in the game that got called back by a penalty and returning one for 76 yards with no time remaining in the first half. Prior to Jackson’s punt return, Quintin Demps took a Kick Return for 101 yards after trucking the kicker and out running John Lynch.

It looks like the Eagles may have drafted two rookies that might make an immediate impact for once. They have given us hope that we have not seen since Brian Mitchell and Westbrook back there for punts.

The Bleeping Idiots of the Week are these 3 bloggers from Sportable.com who test Michael Phelps diet. Watching these 3 guys attempt eating Phelps 12,000 calories is just hilarious (watching them puke). Enjoy laughing at these 3 eating machines, and don’t expect to see me attempt this. The scary thing about all of this is that Phelps can actually burn all of these calories off!

“Kevin had breakfast, which was:
Three egg sandwiches
A five-egg omelet
A bowl of oatmeal (Phelps eats grits)
Three slices of French toast
Three chocolate chip pancakes
Two cups of coffee

Kyle had lunch:
One pound of pasta
Two ham sandwiches
One protein/energy shake

Rich had dinner:
One pound of pasta
A large supreme pizza
One protein/energy shake”

Chargers star linebacker Shawne Merriman has reported torn ligaments in his knee that could keep him out for the season. With a torn posterior cruciate ligament, things aren’t looking to good. Merriman is already coming off of surgery about 5 months ago to repair cartilage.

If Merriman chooses surgery over playing through the pain, do not expect to see him on the field this year. Any surgery of the knee is a tough road to recovery in the NFL. It’s no easy task.

As for the Chargers defensively, this is a huge blow for the team. Losing the league’s leader in sacks since 2005 (39 1/2). Expect Marques Harris to compete for the OLB position if Merriman is not ready.

Phelps’s magical run(well swim) has come to a ending tonight by winning his 8th Olympic Gold Medal. Michael Phelps is amazing and has put electricity in the air these Olympics by putting his name in the record book race after race. This is an epic accomplishment that many of us will never have the opportunity to experience again.

I have never been a fan of swimming, but Phelps has the ability to make it the most exciting sport in the world. I have been planning my nights around his races lately and love it. He is great representative for America and he shows us that our dreams can come to reality.

Phelps’ teammates did a great job by not only doing this for their country, but for each other. They gave Phelps great recognition after the final race and showed that he is truly the greatest of our generation.

Congratulations Michael Phelps, you truely earned it.

This week’s Bleeping Idiot of the week is Spain. A bunch of douche bags. Spain’s olympic basketball team had a picture taken with everyone with slanty eye’s, a racial shot at China. This photo was used in promotion in Spain in Marca, a popular sports daily. This picture was not taken in hate or any harm towards the Chinese, but sure won’t help Spain’s already tarnished rep from recent sporting events(monkey chant in soccer vs England).
