High Tech Trash Talk

Listen to Mike Reynolds on internet talk radio


You know when I think of trash talking The first two people i think of is Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller. Why?Because they not only talked trash to the players but they also played with the fans too with their gestures. These days talking smack seems like a staged play so people will tune in on gamenight. Now talking smack has gone high tech which brings me to why I thinking about this. The Pittsburg Steelers have a young RB who thought it would be a good idea to talk smack with fellow rookie ray rice and tell him he's going to run all over his new team. it would have been ok if rice played for the Cleveland browns or the Lions but nooooooo rice happens to play for the Baltimore Ravens and rice (being the nice guy that he is ) told the guys what Mendenhall text to him about running over the defense.Oh it's going to be ugly on monday night for Mr. Happy Fingers. First thing is the kid is making his first start against a Ravens Defense that hasn't given up a 100yds to a runner in 21 straight games, longest in the NFL or that Baltimore has had a Top 10 Defense the past 5 yrs.... oh this is the best part....the guy he's replacing Willie Parker, is a very talented RB(over 1,000 yds last year) he only had 42yds on 23 carries vs the ravens defense last year................................At Heinz Field!!! So you think you just going to go out on Monday Night no less and show up the best defense in the league.Good Luck
Tell Ray Lewis I said Hi.

Matt Millen Gone to...........Late

Christmas came early for the fans of the Detroit lions with the firing of the most hated man in the city....Matt Millen. I think it should have been done sooner. ya think. Matt was a great player but a lousy GM, I mean just look at some of the people he's drafted for the team (Joey Harrington, Mike Williams,Charles Rogers) I think Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson are OK. He took a team that was ok when he got there and totally made them into the Tampa Bay Bucs of the 70's. Millen is 31-84 since his hire and the lions have lost 9 or more Gms each season he's been in charge. He must be real tight with the owner because if were here in D.C he wouldn't had time to unpack his bags (see Marty Shottemhimer, Steve Spirier). I mean not only did he mess alot of these decisions up but he stood by them (Joey Harrington Experiment). Any idiot know you dont keep taking wide out after wide out he even missed out on the chance to draft Merriman or D.Ware for a wide out. he wanted the lions to resemble the Rams with that greatest show on turf crap and it failed miserably because you had a bum QB and Kevin Jones was no Marshall faulk. He did nothing to improve the defense.....well he did draft the Sims kid but it was to late by that time. he lost more players in free agency than he gained nobody wanted to work with/for Millen even some execs were talking behind his back. He pissed the fans off something terrible too. One couple stated that Millen's firing was the happiest day of their lives.............WOW. Now how do the lions get better only time will tell because it going to take alot of time to clean up the mess Millen has made. Hey, Now that he has some free time maybe he can visit the mayor..................................................... He's doing time !
