Best of the Week 2010: Week 1

It has returned. The NFL is back people, and with it of course brings one of our best features: Best of the Week. This season though look for some changes in your favorite segment, as we'll feature less .gifs than last year. This of course will mean faster page loading for everyone, so you can get to viewing the good stuff faster. In it's place will be a larger assessment of youtube videos, which will load much faster on most browsers.

This week of course brought with it many epic moments. Big hits, bad calls, and Phillip's patience falls, all this and more after the jump.

S.I.'s Fortune 50

Sports Illustrated released their annual report of the richest athletes for 2009. Topping the list yet again was Tiger Woods with over $90 million. LeBron was fourth on the list, and the highest ranked NFL player was Peyton Manning at number 8. The most obvious point we can deduce from this list is that if you are on the Yankees you have a good chance of being one of the richest sports people in the world.

Merry Christmas from 18-1

Merry Christmas from your friends at 18-1!

Best of the NFL Week 14 and 15

Who called it? Who was it who claimed weeks ago that Brett Favre's time on the Vikings would result in bursting into flames and crashing? Yep, we did. Of course it's really not much of an accomplishment, since it was pretty obvious that it was bound to happen, so it's kind of like saying somebody with terminal cancer is going to die, except instead of being a tragic occurrence this is actually humorous. Unless you're a vikings fan (and if you are then you can go to hell!), then you really have no reason to like Favre. The guy tarnished his legacy and spit on all his fans from his days in Green Bay by going to a team which would hurt their chances of making the playoffs. However, don't let ESPN fool you, there is no rivalry between the Packers and Vikings. The only ones who believe that are Vikings fans, and that's only because they want to be considered as significant as the Bears and Packers, but never will since they lack the tradition, history and success that the two teams in the NFL's biggest rivalry have. Essentially what I'm saying is that Favre, Childress, the Vikings and their fans can all go to hell, as I will be laughing at them as they fail within the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Enough ranting, as it's time for a special edition of Best of the Week where I will be looking back on the past two weeks since we're behind schedule due to the holidays and finals from college. So without further or-do hit the jump for two weeks of NFL awesomeness!

Best of NFL Week 9

Another NFL week has come and gone, bringing with it great upsets, disappointments and thankfully a severe lack of Brett Favre (Vikings had a bye). What we did see however was that Bucs aren't nearly as bad as they appear (when they are wearing creamsicle jerseys at least), Kurt Warner is still very good (and Matt Leinart still sucks). All that good shit and more after the jump!

Philip-normal Activity

Like many others last weekend, I saw paranormal activity. Unlike most people however, I thought it was boring and not scary. While I was watching the movie I thought how the movie could be better, and that's when it hit me; the boyfriend in the movie is just like our good friend Phillip Rivers. Then I thought, what if the character was Phillip Rivers; this is what was written after that thought.

Starting off with a bang

Obviously 18-1 has just launched, so it's going to be awhile before we really get the hang of things here, as we have alot of work to do. From photo shopping new site banners to just getting used to the mechanics of this blog, it's going to be a work in progress, so let me be the first to say, 'excuse our mess'.

Anyway, I don't really have any real news or features to add yet, so instead im just going to post a couple of good links for you all to enjoy. 2nd video after the jump.


Philly Rivers beaten by a mere high school QB? Say it ain't so! I wonder if he'll trash talk the kid about missing the honor roll.
