Week 3 of the NFL is in the books and some teams have found some consistency while others are consistent with their inconsistency after 3 weeks of football. I really don’t know what to make of my New York “Football” Giants but Michael and the Vickadelphia Eagles look scary good offensively. There are now 3 teams remaining unbeaten, the Steelers, Chiefs and Bears. With that said, checkout my take on week 3 in the NFL.
Titans vs Giants: If you look at the numbers for each team in this game you would of assume the Giants won this game but that was not the case. Giants lost 29-10 and out gained the Titans by more than 200 yards because of critical turnovers in the red zone Sunday. The Titans capitalized on everyone of the Giants mistakes and ran away with this game. Eli Manning attempted to make a Favre-ish left handed pass in with the Giants in scoring position that was tipped up in the air and intercepted. I know the Giants are my team but this is a classic case of a team beating themselves. I really don’t know what to expect from the Giants but Coughlin may be on his way to increasing the economy’s unemployment rate if the Giants don’t get it together. Titans Chris Johnson ran for over 100 yards and 2 TDs thanks to the Giants mistakes and poor defense. Vince Young’s numbers weren’t impressive but he did what he does and got the win.
Bengals vs Panthers: If the Panthers just had a reliable QB they may be an okay team but Jimmy Clausen started his first game as a pro and played just as good as Carson Palmer did. I’m starting to think Palmer is never going to live up to the QB everyone expects him to be because his play has been sub par all year. He has a run game, 2 great receivers and a young stud at tight end but has yet to put together a great game statistically. I’ll give him a pass because there was bad weather this Sunday which affected some of his throws. Bengals will be good this year but they’ll only go as far as Palmer can take them so he needs to step up his game and show some consistency. Panthers look like sh*t and seem to not even be capable of running the ball effectively thus far this season. Rumors are spreading that Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith will seek a trade by the trade deadline so continue to monitor his status as the deadline approaches. Bengals when will Batman aka T.O. have his coming out party?
Steelers vs Buccaneers: 45 year old Charlie Batch exposed the previously undefeated fraud Bucs on Sunday with a surprising performance. Steelers ran away with this game even with a slow start. The Steelers defense took advantage [click to continue…]
The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
In preparation for the new movie “Wall street: Money Never Sleeps” I decided to go back and check out the original. For the people my age (27) you may not even realize that this is a sequel. I had never seen the original movie until last night and I have to say it was an excellent movie. There was a great lesson in it about morals and whatnot but I was primarily drawn by the portrayal of “the life”. Do yourself a favor and check out this movie. [click to continue…]

YPs, for those of you who are actively on Twitter, you are probably familiar with @RevRunWisdom. For those of you who are not, Rev Run uses his celebrity and wisdom to drop lines of Inspiration and Motivation throughout the day. Sometimes he will say something that is just so profound that it just inspires you. Sometimes he says something that you already know, but reading it gets you back on track, and sometimes he says something that just HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD, FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH IN LIFE!!!
When I talk to YPs daily, I get that a lot of people are struggling and not happy with things in their lives. I fall into this category as well. Sometimes things just do not seem to go our way and it does not for a long time. We began to feel like, ‘When Can We Get a Break?’ Life seems to never stop coming at us. I know, just like most YPs know, that the storm cannot and will not last forever. We have to keep pushing and keep believing that our efforts will pay off. When I read this quote, I just felt relieved. It was like a sign that re-informed me of what I already felt in my heart. I try to encourage other YPs that this is not it for them, to keep fighting. The overall thought is to just STOP WORRYING!!! ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS YOU WORK HARD TO REACH YOUR GOALS. THIS IS NOT THE END, SO DO NOT LET OBSTACLES DISCOURAGE YOU. YPs Stand Up!!!
YPBlogSpot’s Very Own are huge fans of the “Martin Lawrence Show”. This is a funny clip in which Martin gets a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign and he decides to defend himself in traffic court. In this clip Martin brings Tommy “No job having ass” Strong to the stand followed by Pam ”Beady Bea” James and last but not least Cole “You Stupid” Brown. We find out ”GTD” stands for and Martin’s reaction once he’s found guilty is hilarious but enjoy the laugh.

In week 2 of the young NFL season some teams made adjustments to get back on track while others received reality checks. My Giants were killed in the “Manning Bowl” and I didn’t do to well in my fantasy leagues thanks to Michael Turner’s groin injury but the season is young. Nonetheless, here is my take/commentary on [...]

“If you care about what others think of you, then you will always be their slave.” This is a pretty direct but insightful quote by Frey. A lot of times people feel pressured to do things based on what others may think or say. Personally, I’ve fallen victim to that when I was younger and [...]
