Really? REALLLYY???

If we were an Ice Cream flavor, we'd be praline, and dick.
As a Cowboy fan, I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t at all giddy at the fact that the Redskins haven’t been a contender for 10 years. However, there’s only a certain amount of pleasure you can take in a fandom’s plight when they’re on the ground bleeding and keep getting kicked in the head.
Is it safe to say that Dan Snyder is the worst owner in the NFL? He’s got contention from Al Davis (and to a lesser degree, Jerrah), but no one could be more blinded by his own perceived light than this guy.
Take a look a this from Steinberg's blog…
“…there's a new policy that says no signs of any sort are permitted inside the stadium. Even signs sending best wishes to husbands in Afghanistan.
When and why was this change made? I asked Monday morning, and as of Monday evening, a Redskins spokesman said he still wasn't sure.
…
Now, no signs or banners are permitted whatsoever. A spokesman told me that this policy is meant to protect spectators from getting injured by signs, and also to make sure everyone can see the action. Because obstructed views at that stadium could not possibly be tolerated.”
What. In. The. Fuck.
How far up one’s ass does one’s head need to be to not realize how bad things really are around them?
Bad signings. Zero patience. No listening to the advisors around him.
Either Snyder has adopted the Beltway attitude of “things are great on the hill, who cares about off of it” or he’s really just envisioning himself as some kind of dictator who must crush any kind of rebellion against him. Either way, it’s come to a point where I actually feel sorry for Redskins fans.
(Note: I do not feel sorry for Redskins fans.)
Check out the team breakdown at Mavs Money Ball. Here’s the overview…
So, what are we looking at in the NBA this year?
-Shaq's in Cleveland, making his fourth alliance with "the next big thing" (Hardaway, Bryant, wade, James).
-Boston picked up Sheed
-Orlando brought home Vinsanity
-LAL brought in a pit bull with Artest
-San Antonio got really scary with McDyess and Jefferson
-Oh, and that Blazers team that everyone said a better point guard because Steve Blake wasn't it? Yeah, they're a year older and got Andre Miller.
Needless to say, the NBA's rich just got richer. There are a host of other story lines: refs, impending CBA lockout, Von Wafer's hair, Blake Griffin's ACL which I am now referring to as "the Clipper's ticking time bomb", but that's not why you're reading this...you wanna know about your Dallas Mavericks.

Predictions:
EAST
1) Cleveland (LeBron, Shaq...yeah)
2) Orlando (Lost the Turkish MJ, got Vince Carter...wash)
3) Boston (They're old, but they're the good old)
4) Toronto (Bosh and Hedo, I smell buddy flick!)
5) Atlanta (Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford is gonna be lethal)
6) Chicago (Baby Bulls and Vinny of the Black!)
7) Detroit (New look Pistons with Gordon and Villanueva)
8) Philadelphia (Elton Brand is healthy. Eddie Jordon brings the Princeton offense.)
West
1) Los Angeles (if I need to specify, you're retarded)
2) Portland (I'm telling you, these kids are going to be good)
3) San Antonio (Healthy Manu and Jefferson on the wings? McDyess at the five and Duncan at the four? Yikes.)
4) Utah (Same old)
5) Denver (Melo's hungier than ever)
6) Dallas (I just broke them down)
7) New Orleans (The Paul and Chandler pick and roll was special to watch…how well can it run with Okafor?)
8) Golden State (I really really like Stephen Curry in Nellie-ball)
Finals: San Antonio & Cleveland
Champion: San Antonio
We’re blogging with big boy pants now. Just like we’ve moved our wrestling thoughts over to The New PWB, we’ve been asked to contribute to Mavs Money Ball this season on SBNation. I’m not sure how we were selected, and it’d be a lie to say that we aren’t excited about it.
Quick note to our ass hole commenters, MMB is a big-boy blog and we’d rather you kept it sportsy over there. I may or may not be posting more TB&TB flavored versions of posts over here, so you can comment your ass off to those.
Also, we’ve re-instated the twitter page (@bigandthebrown), and I’ve been keeping up on that front.
It’s an internet revolution, mother fuckers, TB&TB style.
