Plaxico Burress a.k.a “Cheddar Bob” Shoots Himself
Sportaphile —
As soon as I heard the news of Plaxico shooting himself in the leg, I immediately had visions of Eminem’s movie “8 Mile”, where Cheddar Bob shoots himself in the nuts during an altercation.
I’ve been known to side with players when they screw up (T.O., Ocho, Michael Vick) because everyone makes mistakes and deserve second chances. But Plaxico is a certified idiot, this guy is playing for the best team in the league and he’s all but guaranteed that they’re going to trade or release him in the offseason.

Plaxico Makes Like That Guy From 8 Mile And Shoots Himself
This is God Given —
This news is old, I know. However, the comparison had to be made to Cheddar Bob from the film classic 8 Mile. Thanks for helping my fantasy team Plax.
Pro Athletes Should Listen To Don On Guns
Indy Cornrows —
Kravitz and Eddie brought on an expert Monday afternoon to discuss Plaxico Burress's Cheddar Bob moment. Of course, when this guy is your expert then you know a situation is messed up.
Don Davis from Don's Guns didn't disappoint while explaining the gun play of moronic pro athletes. In fact, Don perfectly captured the issues facing a pro athlete's quest for nightlife excitement, complete with unintentional comedy and a fresh recap of what happened to Stephen Jackson, Jamaal Tinsley and Marquis Daniels (and friends) at Club Rio.
Kravitz: Can you understand why athletes would ...
Romo for MVP?
Blogging The Boys —
While some people aren't sure Romo will make the Pro Bowl, Clarence Hill argues he might have an MVP in his near future.
Romo is first in the league in passer rating at 103.2. He is first in average yards per attempt with 8.5 He is tied for fourth in touchdown passes with 21, just three behind co-leaders Brees and Warner, who have 24.
But the thing that sets Manning, who will not win any statistical awards, apart is the same thing that separates Romo. Manning is 11-1 as a starter on the league’s best team. Well, Romo is 7-2 as a starter.
And if you didn’t know how valuable he was to everything ...
Dr Pigskin: Week 13
RotoRob —
I am shocked that I have made it through the past week without hearing one reference about Cheddar Bob. Yes, Cheddar Bob. We all know you have seen Eight Mile starring Oscar Award winning actor Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem. You don’t remember the scene where Rabbit’s knucklehead friend (Cheddar Bob) shot himself in the leg? Just remember, Plaxico Burress did not get Plaxico Burressed, he got Cheddar Bobbed.
Let’s take a look at some studs and duds.

The Real Price of Freedom
Black Heart Gold Pants —
"Freedom isn't free." That's a line most commonly associated with, in order, military veterans and Team America: World Police. And as long as you equate America's foreign interests with "freedom," that statement holds up well (whose freedom, exactly, we've been fighting for post-WWII is another matter entirely, but let's not get bogged down on that right away). As you're no doubt aware, Ed Thomas, one of the finest men in the state (either associated with athletics or otherwise) and a most worthy namesake of Ed Thomas Field, was killed when a very disturbed young man--one who probably shouldn't have been ...
