“If my game comes back the way it was I can help this team” – Knicks forward Antonio McDyess
New York Knicks fans aren’t alone in welcoming back a superstar to their struggling team: McDyess, who has a 10-to-3 game-to-knee surgery ratio, has a lot of making up to do. The Knicks could have drafted Amare Stoudamire with the draft pick they traded away to obtain McDyess. Worst trade ever?
In Atlanta, Mike Vick is practicing this week and could start on Sunday for the Falcons. Although ATL didn’t need Vick in handing the whooping stick to the New York football Giants on Sunday. Sign that the apocalypse is on us-Kurt Kittner had nine completions for 65 yards in the 27-7 win. “Fire Fassle, fire Fassle.”
In Philly, the much-anticipated return of All-Pro safety Brian Dawkins could be this weekend. Welcoming back the best safety in the league to a team on the rise doesn’t bode well for NFC East opponents. Dawkins returns just as his nemesis, Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey heads to the disabled list for six-to-eight weeks. How ironic. Pretty blond hair is scared.
Jake “The Snizake” Plummer is perhaps the most needed player to return from injury. The Broncos have sucked more than a kid with a blowpop fetish since Plummer suffered a broken foot and separated shoulder. They’ll need more than a scrambling Plummer at the helm to catch the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, though. Lucky for the Broncos though, Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson guaranteed a victory against the Chiefs this weekend. Chad, you crazy brah. Why stir up an undefeated team? For the record, Johnson is 1-1 on guarantees and 3-0 on being a dumbass.
While the Bengals aren’t going to beat the Chiefs, their chances at winning the AFC North are a lot brighter now that Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller is out for the season. It’s time for Ray Lewis to take it to the next level. Wait, that’s not possible. The Sermon saw and heard Ray Lewis “miked up” on ESPN Sunday Night Football and we at the Serm love his intensity. Mike that man up every week. “Oh my God, he’s got a knife, aaahhh!”
