Stanford Cardinal Football Tickets

I think we all know that Charlie Weis is getting the boot after this season because Jesus is pissed off with the lack of Notre Dame production and Jesus takes his football very very seriously. So whom will Jesus choose as the next coach? The amount of people available are plentiful. But the amount of people qualified are so few. 10. Bill Belichick Qualifications: 3 Super Bowl Championships as a Head Coach 2 as a D-Coordinator, arguably the best coach in football history. Weakness: Has he won a single college championship? No. And he's way way too close to the FUPA. He would just be FUPA 2. Verdict: The Belicheat is out. Notre Dame deserves someone FUPA free. 9. Herman Boone Qualifications: He's that High School coach that they made Remember the Titans about. Weakness: Did they mention anything about academics in that movie? It seems like all of his players were pretty dumb. Dumb players don't cut it at Notre Dame, they need to be smart and win football games. Verdict: All those High School accolades and no advancement to college or the pros? I question his drive. Not good enough for ND. 8. Brian Cowen Qualifications: Taoiseach, essentially the Irish Prime Minister aka the leader of their government. Weakness: Does this man not look like a complete doofus? There's no possible way he could lead young men on a football field. Additionally he just might be fatter than Charlie Weis. Notre Dame can't have another guy running around the sidelines with staples in his stomach. Verdict: Not even close to good enough 7. William Wallace Qualifications: Led the greatest Scottish revolution ever. He obviously can motivate. And he'd be pretty solid at intimidating his own players into playing well. Weakness: Not Irish, he's Scottish. Verdict: If only he was Irish he'd be perfect but he's not, he's a dirty Scotsman and Notre Dame isn't the Fighting Scots. 6. Barack Obama Qualifications: The president of the United States of America. He obviously can lead men and give a good speech. Weakness: Doesn't quite look like a football player. Always talks about how much he loves basketball and how he plays pick up games. I think he might be a bit wussy to be a football coach. Verdict: Basketball < Football 5. Bear Bryant Qualifications: Won the Most College National Championships of any coach in the history of the sport. Weakness: Well he's dead. But Jesus can fix that. His biggest weakness is that he couldn't even get to double digit National Championships won. That's pathetic. Notre Dame is looking to win consecutive championships from 2010 - 2033. Verdict: A houndstooth hat of green and gold would look quite nice, but he's not going to win 20 consecutive titles, and he's dead, so not good enough. 4. Knute Rockne Qualifications: Won 6 National Championships with Notre Dame and had a career record of 105-12-5 Weakness: Dead and he barely passed the ball back then. Notre Dame is not going back to option football. Verdict: Why live in the past? It's time to build the future. 3. Vince Lombardi Qualifications: Arguably the best football coach of all time. Won three Super Bowls and more NFL Championships. Weakness: Never was a head coach in college. Hist experience as a college coach was at the military academy. Would he be able to recruit? Verdict: Notre Dame isn't just football, it's about football with academics with jesus. 2. Pope Benedict XVI Qualifications: Leader of all Catholics. Probably would be good at communicating to Jesus and getting all of the favorable calls. Weakness: How exactly is this man going to recruit the Verdict: Notre Dame needs to recruit. 1. Jesus Himself Qualifications: He's the Son of God, He can turn water into wine which would be very beneficial in the game of football. Turn the opponents gatorade jugs into highly potent alcohol and the squad should have an incredible advantage. Weakness: Jesus has no weakness. Verdict: Truly the only option. Notre Dame needs Jesus to coach this team. Any other signing would be a massive disappointment.

What's up everybody???

Beating Boston on Friday, now that’s what I’m talking about. It just killed me last week missing the loss to Cleveland, and I was determined to bring it for this game against the Celtics. These are what I like to call statement games and you always have to go out with the mindset that you need to prove yourself to the opponent and to everybody in the NBA.

We were back in Boston for the first time since May when we beat the Celtics in a Game 7. Not many people gave us a chance that night, and I’m sure they didn’t give us much of a chance again on Friday. But I think we showed people some things with the way we won this game. Coach Van Gundy always told us when we’re not playing well on the offensive end that’s when you’ve got to pick it up on defense. Our defense kept us in this game, no doubt.

This is a big win for us and a real confidence boost. Cleveland came in (last week) and took it to us. This kind of lets us know that we’re still a good team. We didn’t get to The Finals for nothing. We’re still a very good team.

And we’re a team on the same page. There was a lot of talk in the media the last few days about Stan Van Gundy’s negativity towards us in practice and in games. Stan is an intense dude and sometimes he really goes at us. All of that bashing can take a toll on some guys, so Stan said he’s going to try and limit his negativity in the future. (We’ll see how long it lasts!!! Ha ha ha)

On Friday, Stan was positive the whole night. He did do a good job of cutting back on the screaming and yelling. He was doing more coaching in the huddles instead of bashing. Usually he bashes us for the first two minutes of the timeouts and then he’ll coach the game. Last night he was strictly coaching.

I really think that’s going to help us out and let guys feel like they can play looser and not have to worry about being so uptight. Instead of getting mad at coach and going out there playing frustrated this way sort of put our minds at ease. Stan just has to pick and choose his moments and not try to be a nice coach. He still has to stay on top of us because that makes us play harder.

I’m just hoping that by beating Boston we showed people we’re still a pretty damn good team. It seems like the Lakers, Cavs and Celtics get all the pub as being the top teams, but maybe this will make folks remember the Magic.

I also gave away 3 tickets to Angel last night in Boston, whose Dad left me a message on my Saynow # (1-888-9RAWLEW). Stay in touch, may be you next time. Outta here for now, but I wanna hear back as to what you guys think about how we played last night. Ya’ll be good!!! Don't forget to vote for me and my bro's for 2010 NBA All-Star!!!

Ireland got the shaft in the recent World Cup qualifier when French star 's obvious handball wasn't called by the referees. The controversy led to this week's Gillette Fusion Power blog post by , recalling some other terrible officiating from other sports. Here's a sample:Jeffrey Maier’s Catch: If replay existed in 1996, no one would know who this stupid douchey Yankee fan that reached over the fence was. Instead, his fan-interference home run helped propel the Yanks past the Orioles in the ALCS and to the beginning of their ’90s dynasty. No one has heard from the Orioles since..
