Florida State wide receiver De'Cody Fagg, who possesses the worst name on the planet, can't buy a break.
Trying to impress the scouts at the combine in a routine drill, Fagg, projected as a late round draft pick, blew out his knee. Many are calling this a possible career ending injury.

Jobber: Darren McFadden
After his impressive performance at the combine, which included a sub 4.4 40 time, Arkansas running back Darren McFadden can get back to his real talent: knocking up chicks. The odds of McFadden joining the Raiders, Cowboys, or Bengals just skyrocketed.
McFadden = Happy Sperm

Jobbed: Richard Zednik
Richard Zednick got J-O-B-B-E-D! That's right, all caps.
I've always wondered why this doesn't happen more often. I'm not trying to be a dick; when he played in DC, Zednik was one of my favorite players.
As gruesome as this injury was, it has nothing on the grand-daddy of hockey injuries: the throat slashing of Clint Malarchuk (Note: the first ever J&F graphic image warning.).

This may not be politically correct, ethical, moral, or funny, but in honor of February, Black History Month, let's play a little game, Where's Waldo? for the 21st Century. Excluding the players, how many Brotha's are in this picture? I know the game was played in Utah, but come on!?!

"How Tron is Liv-ing...For the Ci-ty."
Tron Johnson, 22 of Mitchellville, Maryland, was arrested Sunday night for murdering three people at the Largo Uno Chicago Grill. Not one to laugh at others misfortune, but when something like this happens in my old hood to a guy with the same name as the famous rock-slingin, Mad Real World participating Dave Chappelle character, I...must...laugh.

It Burns, Vol 5 - Kevin Hart
With National Signing day hours away, this is a fitting story.
Under the impression that Cal head coach Jeff Tedford had offered him a full scholarship, Kevin Hart, in front of a full gymnasium with television cameras, committed to play ball for the Golden Bears.
As Lee Corson would say, “Not so fast.”
When Tedford received word that Hart, a two-star prospect, had committed, his reaction was priceless: "Who?" It turns out someone played a prank on Hart, calling and pretending to be Tedford. The scholarship: non-existent.
If this is legit, I feel terrible for Hart; if he was caught in a lie and went to a desperate measure to get out, he deserves this.

"Stay classy, ESPN." Did this piss off anyone else? ESPN, running a story on the retirement of Bobby Knight, the NCAA’s all-time leader in wins, used the headline What’s Up, Knight?, the line apparently used by an Indiana student that infuriated Knight, leading to his firing in September of 2000. Whether you love Bobby Knight or despise him, at least show him some respect.

It Burns, Vol. 4 - New England Patriots
Move over Robert Smith, Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter and the rest of the 98 Vikings, who finished 15-1 before losing the NFC championship game at home to the Atlanta Falcons. The 2007 Patriots have stolen your title of ‘Best Team to Not Win the Whole Thing.’
At the hands of Eli Manning and David Tyree, the 2007 Patriots went from the greatest team of all-time to the 43rd, the best to not win the Super Bowl. I’m still stunned by the harsh realities of Sunday night: Tom Coughlin, known as a terrible post season coach in Jacksonville, out-coached Bill Belichick; the Giants wanted it more; they outplayed, hustled, and physically overwhelmed the Patriots. If they were to replay the game today, the Giants would win again.
Like the Yankees in the 2001 World Series, this loss was totally unexpected and paradigm changing. My perspective of the sports world has been completely changed. If the Patriots, the ultimate closers, are losing 4th quarter leads in the Super Bowl in the final two minutes, is up still up? Will the sun rise tomorrow? It was uncharacteristic and shocking.
If I don’t root for the Patriots, why should I care? Honestly, if the Redskins are my wife, the Patriots are my mistress, always loving and – more importantly – winning. When things go bad at home, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are always there with open arms, ready to embrace me. For this, I wanted to see perfection; I wanted 19-0. Another reason was Mercury Morris, the Sexual Chocolate look-alike curmudgeon from the 72 Dolphins that was filled with more hate than Buc Nasty. Morris will walk around with his chest out for the remainder of his life. Despite acting like a four year old, his only claim to fame, the undefeated season, is still intact. (Not to be a Mercury hater, but the Pats, in the age of parity, won 18 in a row while the Dolphins, playing in the stone ages of NFL domination, won only 17)
I wish I could say this loss was unforeseen. However, that is not the case. I woke up in the middle of the night Thursday with a terrible Anakin Skywalker-like premonition: the Patriots were going to lose. I just had a terrible feeling in my gut. Despite my head telling me to lay 11.5 and take the over, I knew they were bad bets. I was hoping my wallet and head would influence the outcome. Not so.
When Manning escaped that would-be-drive-killing-sack and connected with Tyree, who made a miraculous one handed catch, I thought to myself, “It’s their night.” From then on, I became, as Pink Floyd would say, comfortably numb. The Giants, a 5th seed from the pathetic NFC led by Manning, a team whose season turned around week 3 against my Redskins, were going to upset the undefeated Patriots and win the Super Bowl.
At least I’m not Randy Moss, who played on both the 98 Vikings and 07 Patriots. Ouch.

Road Trip - Canton
People usually designate a few dates as the greatest moments of their lives; their wedding day and the births of their children are usually on that list. For me, as a 25-year-old single man with no children (that I know of), yesterday, February 2, 2008, tops my list.
Art Monk and Darrell Green, two of my childhood heroes, were elected to the pro football Hall-of-Fame. Green, a shutdown corner who spent his entire 20 year career with the Redskins, was elected on the first ballot; Monk a receiver who finished his career with 940 receptions, 12,721 yards, and 68 touchdowns (To support his induction, I memorized those numbers), was finally - and justly - elected on his eight attempt.
