*Breaking News*


This news is not breaking at all to be honest but if you follow me on twitter @therealbmw412 then you would already be ware of said news. Yes Team Walker's captain & team leader is on the PUP lists (football talk for Phyically unable to Perform & when I say perform I mean GO TO WORK!). So yes folks I'm feeling under the weather today & I was most of yesterday as well. Much love to Team Walker's Co-Captain Mrs BMW she stepped in made food for the fam & even helped entertain a guest! Yes my brother from another mother Dave came through to watch the Steeler game & break bread. Mrs BMW did her THING too! Greens baked Mac n Cheese fried chicken! I was very pleased to say the least!

College Football Picks (One NFL Pick I forgot DOHHH **Homer Simpson Voice**)

 
Sorry Chiefs & Chargers fans your teams suck so bad I didn't even pick a winner last post! I'm sorry! No I really am I must have had a brain lapse or something ANYWAY
 
 
 
I'm taking
Chiefs over Chargers 17-13 I do think new Chargers WR Patrick Crayton will make a difference esp. since Vincent Jackson plans on sitting out & the Bolts won't have anyone else to throw to.(plus I just snagged Crayton for my fantasy team!)
 
Now on to College Football
 
Saturday's Games
 
The image you see (or at least I HOPE YOU SEE) is important if you notice the Pitt vs. UNH game is on ESPN3! Not ESPN U not our Local ABC affiliate ESPN3.COM! I'm all about watching TV/games online but Pitt is not a small name University. The Big East really needs to do something about the current TV contract I mean ESPN3? REALLY? Oh & I'm also upset that Pitt which was ranked #15 in BOTH polls last week lost to Utah (#24 in the coaches poll last week) in OVERTIME & Pitt drops out of the Top 25? HUH???
 
I'm going with
Pitt over UNH 38-10 expect big numbers from Pitt's offensive stars Dion Lewis & Jon Baldwin I'll go as far as to say Cam Sandler will also have at least 1 TD in this game as the Panthers bounce back from that heart breaking loss in Utah.
WVU over Marshall 45-7 I hate WVU but there is no denying this should be one sided
Alabama over Penn State 27-21 PSU are 11 point dogs and people are saying that’s not enough? I think it will be close but late game heroics from Bama's QB will put them over the top. DO NOT COUNT OUT PSU though they aren't #18 for nothing
Miami (FL) over Ohio State 28-21 (UPSET!!!!!!) I have no faith in OSU's QB Pryor I'm not feeding into his hype & this loss & a horrible game by him should bring Buckeye fans & those on the Pryor bandwagon back down to reality. ( I could be wrong…..but I doubt it!)
 
 
 
 

My Week One NFL Picks

I have to get away from all this Port Authority madness so I'm going to give you my weekly NFL Picks. Lets see how good I do? If I go like 0-16 just remember NOBODY IS PERFECT!!!
 
 
I'm Going with The Vikings over the Saints 28-24 (call it the revenge bowl)
Bucs over the Browns 17-10
Dolphins over Bills 27-3
Patriots over Bungles BenGALS I mean that team from Cincy 35-20
Houston over Indy 21-17 (UPSET !!!!)
Denver over Jacksonville  24-14 (Tebow will play & victimize the Jags for not drafting him)
Steelers over Falcons 28-10 (Dixon has a lot to prove but the key is the Steelers D & Rashard Mendenhall)
Titans over Raiders 21-20 (this one is going to be close the Raiders D is solid)
Giants over Panthers 33-13 (the panthers can run but their QB situation is suspect)
Detroit over Chicago 27-20 (the difference will be a Stefan Logan Kick or Punt Return for TD or to set up a TD he has a chip on his shoulder after being cut by the Steelers)
Arizona over St Louis 35-13 (I could be the Cards QB vs. the Rams & throw 3 tds Jpeezy will welcome Rookie QB Sam Bradford to the NFL with a nice sack/strip)
Green Bay over Philly 42-35 (I like Aaron Rogers & I don't like the Eagles D)
49ERS OVER Seahawks 35-3 (I think the 9ers are going to scary good this year & this is a statement game the division is theirs for the taking)
Cowboys over Skins 28-21 (difference will be a TD run up the GUT by Barber why? Because Haynesworth won't be there to stop him)
Jets over Ravens 14-7(Bmore has health issues on the Oline & NO DBs the Jets have a newly rich Revis he will be welcoming Bolden to Revis Island this week)
 
Now I never played organized football & I'm not Madden expert so don't go betting your house on my picks but feel free to post yours below & come back Tuesday after the dust settles & either clown me for being dead wrong on every pick or show me love for being perfect on every pick! Either way I'm glad football season is here!!
 
GO STEELERS!!

CHANGE GON COME!!!

Excuse me while I spit nails!
 
After another unpleasant experience this morning using Port Authority of Allegheny County's horrible public transportation system I'm fed up! I have literally had enough! I have walked over 2 miles in the last 36 hours.  While some might see that as a good thing let me ask you if walking up hill for a mile TO work how good is that? Anyway I realized today that its time that Port Authority & the local politicians do what the voters actually want. So comment below leave your name & email address (no I'm not spamming you either) If you are tired of seeing your tax dollars get wasted and not see one thing you want/need done then comment below. I am willing to fight against this wrong doing by Steve Bland (CEO of Port Authority of Allegheny County), Dan Onorato (Chief Executive of Allegheny County), Ed Rendell (Governor of PA) along with anyone else who stands in the way of tax payers & voters getting what is right. We can not stand by & let this happen any further. Port Authority has a plan in motion to make even more cuts in January 2011 it has to stop now. We have to take stand if that means taking it back to the days of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. & boycotting the bus system altogether then we have to do it. Its an election year Onorato needs/wants our votes! We want/need a better public transportation system so lets get one! NOT once he is elected Govern either we WANT IT NOW! Comment below voice your frustrations let today be the day that they heard our voices & let this not be the last day. At the end of this all we need to stick together help each other & do what needs to be done to force change. Email me your name, phone # if you don't want to post it below ( walker.brandonm@gmail.com ). With your support I'm willing to fight for what is right lets go!

Good Day All! God is Good!

Happy Wednesday! (Shout out to President Grover Cleveland for having Labor Day made an official holiday back in 1894) Yes I said WEDNESDAY! The week is almost over already! Nothing to be excited about honestly I subscribe to the philosophy that its important to enjoy EVERYDAY not just the ones you don't have to work on. (see how a snuck in a Tomlin-ism?)

To help you get inspired & learn to appreciate your days more I have a country music classic by Tim McGraw


I know once you get conditioned to loving the weekends & dreading the Wednesdays that habit becomes hard to break but consider this. What if you knew your last day would be a Wednesday in September? You would have to treat that day like no other as you should EVERYDAY! With all that being said I give you this to take along with you on your days journey.
“Life is too short not to make the best and the most of everything that comes your way everyday...."

Am I a Yinzer or is Goodell nuts?

With the impending suspension of Steelers Starting QB two-time Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger for  4 games. I can't help but wonder whether or not I'm a PURE Yinzer through & through OR is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell flat out nuts? Lets be clear I'm not about to try to drudge to deep into Big Ben's behavior suffice it to say I know first hand homey is a jerk. I've PERSONALLY dealt with him a time or two. ANYWAY lets try to keep this a factual as possible OK? (read more after the jump)

The Standard is the Standard: An Ode to Mike Tomlin


"The Standard is the Standard" one of many Tomlinisms that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is known for. I have a great deal of respect for this man he carries himself with a professionalism that is unmatched. I don't delve into entertainers personal lives I'm way to busy being a married father of 4 & if I was single & childless I'd still be too busy for that. Anyway in all the interviews Mike Tomlin gives he is true to form well spoken, respectful, no nonsense, and also very careful with his words. He isn't one to pull punches as a few years ago there was a rift between he & then starting tailback (recently cut by the Washington Redskins) Willie Parker. At that time Parker was not happy with the Steelers rush offense & he had some comments with those regards for the media. When those comments came back to Coach Tomlin he said "When I walk into to work everyday I see 5 Lombardi Trophies' not 5 rushing titles" YES! ZING! POW! I LOVED that! He didn't call out Parker he respectfully put him in his place by saying HIS (Parker) goals are not larger than those of the team.

Good Morning ALL! God is good! (All the time *ole Baptist church lady voice*) Happy Monday! Tuesday!
I'm slow on the Daily Mojo, not to make an excuse but I had a lot to get ready for. Today was my son Jaxon's first day of in the classroom head start!
Thinking of that just makes me realize how time is flying next thing you know he'll be going to college (GO PITT!). Events like that make you put life into perspective, being a father trumps everything else. I'm responsible for the future now! That’s big no? I could be raising the person who finds the cure for AIDS or Cancer. With that being said I can't see how a person wouldn't want to be apart of their own child's life. That’s a topic for another day. I don't really have a song today I actually woke up listening to sports radio & incase you were wondering NO I AM NOT HAPPY DENNIS DIXON WAS NAMED STARTING QB!!
