I don't know what other blogs are posting because in all honesty I don't visit all the other blogs like that. So if you haven't seen this already I'm posting it for your viewing specifically. To be honest, I can't tell you if Vick is being genuine or sincere here or if he's been well coached by a line of PR people inserting ready-made words in his mind packaged for mass consumption but I don't think that's the point. America stands for second chances and it's in this country's DNA to hold true to that ethos. Sink or swim even people who kill dogs are due these opportunities we afford to politicians, coaches and in some cases even family. So in that mindset as a Bengals fan, I cannot wish Vick luck since he plays for another NFL team but I do wish him well.

[VIDEO] Dallas Cop Keeps NFL Player Ryan Moats From Seeing His Dying Mother In Law
[This right here is absolutely crazy. You don't need me to tell you how bad this is. You should just watch the video and see for yourself.
R.I.P his mother in law.]

MLB Network Premieres Today
Anybody gonna pay money to watch this new network? Somehow I don't think it'll match what the NFL network or NBAtv provides.

NFL Reebok: Fantasy Files Clips
I'm probably late but it certainly would have been helpful to see these clips before I drafted my fantasy football team. It would have probably made a difference as I would have selected Chris Chambers, Andre Johnson, and Neil Rackers.

Your Best Bet In Sports Television This Weekend [10/4-10/6]
College Football:
Top Five Games To Watch
Florida St. vs. Miami (Look I know this game has little to no real value on shit but it is 'The U' against FSU and I'm a bit of a softy for rivals and nostalgia. I don't expect much and I don't even expect this game to be that close. I couldn't name three players on either side of this game or in total but I'll still probably watch this.
My prediction: I'll be sleep by the 2nd offensive play, lol but seriously FSU 30 - Miami 21
Auburn vs. Vanderbilt (I want to say that I smell upset here but really my nose is stopped up and I can't smell my upper lip so I can't in good faith go out and say something I don't believe in. Now do i want Auburn to fall? Yes, they're ahead of OSU and UF so they're in my way but they won't lose this one. Vandy is actually ranked this year and it looks like a good matchup on paper betwween two ranked teams but Auburn was considered contenders for a Championship this year so I can't see them losing this early in the season twice. The SEC is the best conference in the nation and it isn't even close so I wouldn't be completely surprise if Vanderbilt wins but I don't see it happening.)
My prediction: Auburn 35 - Vandy 18
OSU vs. Wisconsin (Probably the best game of the weekend that is going to be the knockout blow for one of these two teams with BCS game hopes and fortunately it won't be OSU. A win here for either club means a Top Ten entry next week which is goof for us but bad for the rest of the country that respect the Big Ten about as much as they respect Sarah Palin. Wisky is a good team. They always are year after year with a great balance of Run and Defense; A poor man's OSU if you will. I just think if you can't handle the young Wolverines there's no way you can handle Pryor and Beanie. Just no. Anyway the class of the Big Ten ins't even on the line in this game. That's a crap shoot between Penn St., Mich. St. and these two teams but Saturday night goes a long way toward settling that picture.)
My prediction: OSU 24 Wisconsin 17
Texas vs. Colorado (The Big 12 is a big fraud of conference and this game should be an indicator of why I believe that's so. I see Colorado winning this game which they really shouldn't but because Texas always gets Top 25 love year in and year out for God knows what reason everyone is going to act all surprised when Colorado wins and I won't be and neither should the intelligent readers of His Aura Was Orange. There's not a team in the Big 12 that will have less that 2 losses before the seasons over and that's not because the conference is so good, but because the conference is so shitty. So Big 12 fans, sorry but prepare yourself fo rthat let down because it will happen. Anyway)
My prediction: Colorado 28 Texas 21
Finally Oregon vs. USC (Every part of me wants to say USC doesn't lose twice in a row and how that's a prideful team and Pete Carroll just don't allow that kind of bullshit to happen and how this is still the greatest team in the history of organized sports (no wait that's what Mark May wants to say, sorry for the confusion) but for some reason, something in my gut says otherwise. I just can't pick USC to win this game. It's going to be a great game to watch and one that we'll all remember though on Monday.)
My prediciton: Oregon 33 - USC 30
NFL:
Top Five Games To Watch
Tennessee vs. Baltimore (Two better defenses I not. Gonna be surprised if there's more than 24 points scored in this one total.)
Buffalo vs. Arizona (You have the most potent air striking offense in the league when clicking against a defense that looks to inpose it's will up front and in the secondary. The classic offense v. defense matchup and a match between two unlikely division leaders. Good game right hurr. )
Tampa Bay vs. Denver (Two teams, both with great run games, both with great defenses, both 3-1, somethings got to give)
Washington vs. Philly (Look, the NFC East has been the best division in football. No reason to miss this at all.)
Indy vs. Houston (Too bad teams but on paper but I guarantee it's going to be good.)
(*My predictions in bold)
Pittsburgh and Jacksonville is going to be a good matchup too but frankly I'd rather watch Obama lose this election than watch that ugly ass game.
Also just a programming note, don't sleep on that Kimbo Slice v. Ken Shamrock flight either. I know I'll be flipping the channel between that and the game in the nightcap so don't cheat yourselves on that.
Also feel free to hit up the chatbox or comment box with any hate I'm due in the event I'm massively wrong in my picks but keep it PC. That's what it's there for. Keep it interestin gy'all. Peace.

Brett Favre Is Yet Another Victim Of The Madden Curse
I'm going to try and make this simple because there's enough he said/she said aspects and nooks and crannies to this story to go on and on forever without end (much like Favre's career) but in my own humble opinion for what it's worth Brett's probably done enough to be able to say when he's done to the team and not the other way around. You probably could make a case that Brett has gotten into the practice of going into the offseasons the past 3 
or 4 years with a gun and a wool skully face mask (think Plies album cover for a visualization) and holds up the Packers year after year on some "This is a stick up" shit and gets liberal with the team's time to decide if he's coming back or not I admit that much but call me a Favre loyalist, but it's not apparent that the team will be as good or dare I say better with Aaron Rodgers than they are/were (gotta get used to using Brett Favre in the past tense since it seems like his career is R.I.P as of this moment) with him. To use a more recent example, when the San Diego Chargers thought Drew Brees was expendable and that Phillip Rivers could match his production that turned out to be a huge miscalculation and who knows if the Chargers could have gotten past the Patriots last year with Drew Brees under center. I think it's fair to say Phillip Rivers is no Drew Brees. I'm not even saying Drew Brees is Brett Favre or that Phillip Rivers is Aaron Rodgers but the point I'm making is that it's dangerous to play this poker game with quarterbacks and the future in calculating known commodities with young upcoming untested gambles. That's all I'm saying. Not to mention Brett took Green Bay and made them relevant over the course of his 16 years in the league and that's got to count for something. Also least we forget how he took this team as recently as last year to the NFL's equivalent of the Final Four in the playoffs.
He's close. He's proven that. Why not give him one more year? Rodgers is my age. He's got all the time in the world. Favre doesn't. If you're that hell bent of sticking it out with Rodgers, trade Favre for equitable value. Get something for him at least rather than see him off or forcing him into retirement for good.
In related news, Stephen A. Smith apparently hates Brett Favre which in this country means he in turn hates America

The Sky is Blue, Dogs Bark And Don Imus Is Racist, What Else Is New?
Talking about Adam "Pac Man" Jones, Don Imus makes another racist comment. This is pretty par from the course from him, he's a shock jock and a bigoted one at that. I'm not even that mad personally but it's what he does so well, hear it for yourself and decide.
