The Daily FaF Smear is your source for completely inane scores, statistics and uninformed opinions on stuff. It’s an inspection of the things that we have missed, forgotten to cover or will neglect to cover until we move into our parents’ basements and become “real bloggers.” Fourth and Fifty is not responsible for covering the news in sports. That’s why God invented the TV and breathed life into Stu Scott.

Politics are not my thing. The last time I really invested myself in a campaign was back in 5th grade when we held a mock election for the ’92 campaign. You know what happens when you let 5th graders vote? Perot wins. By a landslide. Led by the grassroots campaign of the “Perotkins” he garnered more than 60%. This is why I can’t even trust myself to vote. I handcuff myself to refridgerator every “first tuesday after the first monday in November.” But, you know, it’s hard not to think that things are just a bit different with the recent election of Obama, I can’t put my finger on it… But, then you start hearing reports about the FBI having to intervene in racist threats made against a basketball player. Here comes your daily update:
TEXANS: As is apparent from our final post yesterday, Owen Daniels spiked the ball really really hard and for his efforts made the Pro Bowl. Can we have confirmation on how it feels to be chosen to play after a person that’s been voted in drops out? These things don’t make sense to me. It’s like the girl that dates you off and on for a few weeks, then decides to go back to her ex only to realize that he’s still a huge douche and wants you to take her back. Owen, tell that skank you can make it on your own.
ROCKETS: Yeah! Yao, Tracy and Artest all playing at the same time. It seems like this happens about as much as yetti sightings these days. Oh, wait… we lost? 95-93. Well, at least we closed the gap to make the game respectful in the end. What’s that? The Rockets gave up a 14 point lead? That’s not productive. At least nobody got hurt… right? RIGHT?! Ok. WOO! Moral victory!
ASTROS: Apparently Jeff Bagwell went to San Antonio… Fuck yeah, Astros news is super-duper-pooper exciting! Where’s the Hunter Pence dating drama? Can’t someone sneak a dead hooker into his trunk or something? Anything to make the offseason more exciting. We’ve already addressed the fact that the big free agent signing isn’t going to happen.
UH COUGARS: First off, let me say that the Coogs decided to do their best Rockets impression last night. They gave up a good lead in the 2nd half and ended up on the losing end of 62-55. FaF Reader Big Hitter claims it was a 20-2 run by the Miners that put the game away in the second. I almost believe him. On to this… Why the hell is the FBI getting involved in this face-stomping thing? E-mails are apparently being sent threatening the Cougars and specifically Aubrey Coleman for the incident in Arizona. Seriously, people! Come on here. It’s pretty obvious that Coleman wasn’t attempting to paint the court with Buddinger’s jaw. He’s apologized. He’s said it wasn’t intentional. His coach has stood behind him. Just because Coleman’s black and Buddinger’s white, how does that constitute a hate crime? And what makes you think you’re allowed to retaliate for your stupidity in thinking such? What makes you think that you’re allowed to threaten someone because you happened to see a 30 second clip on SportsCenter? Find something better to do with your time. My reccommendation is sticking a screwdriver in a electrical socket. Hell, just stick your toungue in there. Some people just shouldn’t have e-mail access.
RICE OWLS: Not wanting to upstage the Rockets or Cougars, Rice did the only resonable thing, they folded against Tulane. All I know is that the score was 61-59. That’s all you’re going to get. Win some games or something. This “Rice Futility” is getting old. I know, I know. I’m a Coog fan, I should relish in it. But, two things: (1) If Rice and UH were both atop the C-USA standings it would make the rivalry more interesting and (B) If you get lucky and beat us… shit, I don’t even want to think about losing to a sub .300 team.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
All Yao is is a giant wimp. That was a disgrace last night. I felt embarrassed to be a Rockets fan. They’ve lost back-to-backs to the lowly Knicks and Sixers.
I was at the game and not only was it a 20-2 run, it was a 22-2 run (my bad for misreading the official stats but I didn’t have my abacus with me).
The FBI is being called in because AC purportedly received death threats on his cell phone and they need to audit the calls. Death threats? Can you believe that BS? I think he’s changing his number, fwiw.
C’mon you rednecks, it’s 2010 for crying out loud. Can’t we all just get along?
I meant 2009 dammit. I miss my abacus sometimes.
I’d say you’re going to have men in suits and black suburbans knocking on you door pretty soon for using their logo. Don’t you know it is a federal offense to display the FBI seal? It like an eleventy billion dollar fine.
Don’t moral victories count for the post-season? That’s what I was always taught. They should add that to official stats in the newspaper. It could read W-L-T-MV. Take the Lions for example, their record this year could have read: 0-16-0-7. The 7 would be moral victories as it relates to not crying in the locker room after losing games. This number could be high though. It is an estimate. I just figure the disdain set in about halfway through the season.
[...] at Rice wanting to get some bad publicity as well. Seeing as how Coleman has been receiving death threats after the face stomping incident, this recent ejection should hopefully help things blow [...]
