Dey call me “Mr. Boombastic,” simply fantastic
Dec 29, 2007 Athletes who don't stab people, Houston Chronicle, Morlon Greenwood
A momentary lapse in my no-Chron policy because this one is just too good:
Linebackers coach Johnny Holland calls Greenwood “the ultimate pro” and “a true warrior,” adding: “If you pick one player on our defense to model yourself after, it would be him. He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around. He’s never missed a snap in a game. He never misses a day of practice. He’s never late for a meeting. And he plays special teams. I wish my kid would grow up to be Morlon Greenwood.”
Did we forget to mention that Greenwood is also a rapper in his spare time? His videos are easy to find on YouTube or his MySpace page. “Ultimate56″ — that’s Morlon. He’s a mystery man in more ways than one.
Embedding is not working, but here’s a link to his YouTube videos.
And here’s a link to his MySpace page.
And–I’ll do you one better than the Chron did–here’s a link to his actual music label website. (The logo looks like the lovechild of Cobra Commander and Simba. Sweet.)

I hope the no-Chron policy portal is still open. Please read this http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/justice/texans/5410616.html and this http://blogs.chron.com/nfl/2007/12/texans_win_4228_finish_88.html.
Justice sounds like a guy with severe bi-polar disorder. He shits all over the team during the season, then out of nowhere sucks Mario’s ass and finally comes up with this. He’s treated the Texans well? Defended them and came up with excuses? Maybe I was reading a writer named Justice from the San Francisco Chronicle this year. This column was about covering his ass. If they lost, he told us so. If they won, he told us so. Feeling the heat, Dick. Douche.
McClain is just the epitome of dog shit. This line kills me, “Mario Williams’ string of six consecutive games with a sack was shut out, meaning he finished with 14 and failed to overtake Seattle’s Patrick Kerney for the NFL lead.” Piss- poor grammar aside, he finished with 14 sacks and failed? Oh, that’s right, you have to promote your Vince Young agenda. 9 TD’s and 17 picks with a below 70 Qb rating, but soooo awesome in the locker room. That is a spin that many politicos would be proud of John. That sentence proves that you, Mr. McClain, are an asshole.
Happy New Year everyone!

Wow. I haven’t even read the McIHOP one yet, but Justice’s article is too dumb for words.
