nine-o tweet(s) of the week

Had to pick 2 this week.


1) I posted about this earlier today, but never one to shy away from plugging USC

"I must admit I'm not a big fan of USC I'm FSU to the bone but this kinda made me be very thankful and I LOVE FOOTBALL. http://bit.ly/is1IG" @ddockett

2) "
Coaches can only take u so far - us as players must make the play. GOD gave us a talent to make it. If u prepare to make it then u will.-9-0" @ddockett

Don't forget kids. Follow @ddockett

USC Football News!

Matt Barkley was given the starting QB job as a true Freshman. Amazing. Thoughts? Comments?

Amazingness...

As most of you know...I am a USC fan. I know. It comes as a shock right? 'Cause I never blog about USC and USC player (btw Congrats Mark Sanchez. Sorry I doubted you). 

This video is so- wonderful. Watch it and leave your comments. I think it could be appreciated by any football fan. It would have been my least favorite  SEC team..even UCLA, and this video still would have been awesome.


fight on!

Fantasy Football

This is the first year I'm venturing out into the world of Fantasy Football. My first pick was Mr. Larry Fitzgerald.


I have a pretty solid team in my opinion, and I am ready to be the league sleeper. I am the only girl playing against 11 guys, so it should be interesting.

Distraction for the Masses

Completely unverifiable, only my professional opinion.....something to consider.
Back in the day, needing to distract the Romans from the challenges of their daily lives....the ruling class pitted the Christians against the Lions in the Coliseum. After a day spent in celebration, drink, and cheer, the crowd, (its thirst for blood satisfied) went home ready to face the coming week. Over the following few days, there was much discussion about the event, leading to speculation of what was to come the following week. In this manner, simple folks created alternate dramas that distracted them from the minutiae of their humble existence.

Its Sunday, 2009 and all across our great nation, fans prepare....is it Patriots against Lions, Cowboys against Redskins, Titans against Giants, you catch the drift here. A very select, exclusive group of owners (so select its easier to get into Congress or the Senate) provide the modern day distraction at unimaginable profit. The sport we grew up playing, is transformed into a multi billion dollar entertainment industry, so tightly controlled, performers/players get fined if their shirt is untucked, socks aren't pulled up or they display the wrong logo on their shoes.
The actors are interchangeable (how many retread coaches? same refs every year?)

Welcome to the NFL.
Help me understand: Next time someone complains what the performers get paid, consider this, would an owner pay a performer $12,000,000 per year if that performer did not enhance PROFITABILITY? Of course not. It is and always has been about making money and putting the best product in the field to ensure the masses buy/spend/ get caught up in the drama. Heroes and villains are created for you to follow (thank you ESPN) and get emotionally involved with. The public persona of our "favorites" in most cases have nothing to do with the real person wearing a jersey and going to work behind a mask. The players are interchangeable parts to a huge business enterprise, no different than the machinery a farmer needs to work the soil that produces a profit when sold. A look behind the finely polished veneer, created by the mega marketing mavens at the NFL, reveals players are routinely treated as commodities. Discarded when no longer of use. Treated like pieces of meat. Built up when they contribute to a win and instantly torn down when they lose.
I say bravo to to the huge salaries and signing bonuses. Grab as much as the owners are prepared to give, Because they will not give you a penny if they are not making four !
Would any of you have an issue with getting paid fair market at work?
No, I didn't think so.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Coach Dad & Uncle Pea were supposed to start blogging when Glitz & Blitz was launched.


However, this didn't happen. I am proud to announce that starting today, Coach Dad will officially start blogging.


I am giving him total control over his content, and not being a crazy editor.

So enjoy! Send feedback, and ladies- you can send coach dad any of your questions!

Welcome to Coach Dad's world

The news is dominated by the return of Vick and Favre. Fans are polarized, the media stirs up a frenzy. Talking heads now have "stories" to fill the endless hours of available through the various formats. Satellite radio, cable, you can't avoid the drama unfolding in Philly and Minneapolis. So I'm thinking, what is the difference between news and PR when it comes to the NFL?
While the devastating effects of our economy continue to unfold, we are bombarded daily with the minutea of irrelevant story lines the NFL would have us follow. Really, does it impact your life what happened yesterday in the training camp of your "favorite" team?

Is football the opium for the masses?
How did the Steelers steal the Super Bowl last year?
Does anyone remember how they beat the Seahawks in their previous Super Bowl win?
Do zebras qualify as reptiles?
These and a barrage of other questions will be answered. Stay tuned
Coach Dad

nine-o tweet of the week

This one made me chuckle

"OMG one of my teammates just ask me do lobster and crab come from the same water cause he thing he saw a lobster at his house in a CREEK lol"

Don't forget if you are not already following @ddockett on Twitter....do it! 

Can you feel it?

Only TWO weekends left. TWO weekends! Factor in that the Cardinals play on Saturday, that is one more Saturday that is without football.

Then, it's off to find a new Saturday hangout to watch 'SC games.

Sept. 5....so close yet so far way.

Jail Time Rant

Vick served less time for killing dogs than Plaxico is going to get for shooting himself in the leg....

@catman341 said it best on twitter "Ok Burress gets 2 years 4 shootin himself when Vick kills dogs n lies to everybody n gets 23 months, n wtallsworth kills sum1 n gets 30 days!"

"Thats not right!Vick served gis time, and I respect that, but still, this whole thing is blowing my mind!"

Very well said.

Twitter and Nine-O

I felt the need to post this tonight.

I am in the process of watching a live ustream that is being "hosted" by Arizona Cardinal Nine-O (aka @ddockett)

While there are some guys on the team (cards) that are on Twitter, and there are many guys on th team that love and appreciate their fans.

Nine-O takes the cake. He tells it like it is.

He even reread my birthday message to Fitz.

But seriously. If you are not on Twitter you need to. And if you are. You need to follow @ddockett.

People can be haters, but I tell EVERYONE I know how great nine-o is to his fans. So my dedicated readers. Check him out. Support your Arizona Cardinals. Support the Nine-O Army.


Leave love.

xoxox


PS: I am ending with a tweet from @ddockett ( Forgive me father for I have sin with ur help I know the devil won't win.)
