Heeeees Baaaaackkk

Las Vegas Locomotives opened up the first ever game in UFL history with a convincing 30-17 victory over the California RedWoods.

Total fans in attendance at Sam Boyd Stadium (home of the UNLV Running Rebels) was just over 14,000. Not entirely shabby I must say.

As for the real story, and the significance to the Pewch Revolution, J.P Losman has started his comeback bid to the NFL in great fashion. 21-31, 226 passing yards, 2 tds...LEGIT.

Not much else to say really except Losman and Fassel have to be the favorites to take the UFL Championship this year. Fassel was quoted as saying, “Our defense stepped up to the plate big time...“The things that we didn’t do well at the end of the day we can coach. It was a good football game. It wasn’t sloppy. It was hard hitting. It was what people want to see.”

It must be hard for Fassel to give press quotes and not think in his head "what has my life come to."

Dennis Green, Coach of the Redwoods, continues his losing ways and drops to 0-1, though most could see this loss coming, after all...

The Locomotives are who we thought they were...if you want to crown em, crown em!

Quick Hits

* Denzel Washington is apparently Chad Ocho Cinco's new coach/psychologist. Ocho is apparently turning back to the fun loving player we have all grown to love over the past couple years instead of the whining complaining one we saw last year. “He got on me about the way I handled myself last off season,” Ochocinco recalled in a phone conversation last week. “He wasn’t being gentle. He said, ‘You know what? You need to straighten up and stop fussin’ about something you have no control over. Make it fun again because it sure looks better when you do it that way.’ That’s all I needed to hear, especially from somebody like him.” Is there a situation Denzel Washington can't handle? If he can turn around 85 from having another 53 reception season for 540 yards, then it may be his finest work yet.

*Sticking on the Bengal receiver (ex-Bengal anyhow) front, lets take a look at the latest from the pony-tailed T.J Houshmanzadeh (championship!). T.J is apparently boycotting Madden '10 because he is unhappy with his 91 player rating. He went on to say, "I'm going to miss not playing it, but until they do me right, I'm not playing it any more." Why are receivers the biggest divas in all pro sports? If you ask me a 91 is a fairly good ranking, not to mention I believe Madden was scaling back all of their rankings to make superstars more valuable...

*Former UFC fighter Kimo Leopoldo is not dead, I repeat, not dead. Rumors surfaced on the Internet about the death of Kimo, and was later "confirmed" by various sources. It turns out Kimo was not dead after he told Yahoo! Sports in a phone interview, “I knew I wasn’t dead,” No Kimo, you are indeed not dead, just incredibly stupid.

*NBA movement around the league.

Pudgy Sean May signed with the Kings.

Skeleton Matt Barnes signed with the Magic.

Jarret Jack signed with the Raptors.

Odom is still undecided.

Andre Miller may be on the move, likewise with Big Baby Davis.

Steve Nash will rot away his career in Phoenix. Given Nash's age, I can't imagine them making another huge run after totally breaking down the team.

*JP Losman has officially signed with the UFL and Las Vegas to team with Jim Fassel. What a marriage this should turn out to be. The funny thing is that Losman (unless Vick ends up here) is being called the poster boy for the UFL. I don't know if this is sadder for J.P or the UFL.

6/19/2009: The Saddest day of millman's life.

After a fellow pewch revolution member tipped me off, and I was later able to confirm the news online. As the headline reads, today Friday June 19th marks the end of an era. It is all but official. My favorite Quarterback of all time, John Paul Losman appears to be headed out of the league and to the UFL to reunite with Jim Fassel (talk about a couple rejects flocking together).

I have touched on this earlier so won't pain you with my thoughts on JP other than the fact that this man is a NFL caliber backup quarterback at the very least. Extremely shocked he cannot find a roster spot on ANYONE's bench. I only hope to got he leads the Las Vegas squad to some serious UFL titles, comes back and takes the NFL by storm and finally hits his potential as a35 year old man.

Huck it. Chuck it. JP. Touchdown!!!(Best play ever added by the fact we had the MAN Gus Johnson calling the play)

Mulldog edit* Was anyone else watching / listening to Mike and Mike this morning? Mike Golic and Chad Ocho Cinco got into a bit of a twitter battle after Golic made a comment about how Ocho is always a problem like the rest of the Bungles. Well Chad tweeted him to shreds, I don't have an exact transcript but I think he challenged him to a fight; said he was going to go to the station and steal his (expletive) show; claimed Golic put back all the weight he lost (Nutrisystem commercial anyone?)...and then claimed he was going to bristol after camp, "they gettin disrespectful out there, child please." 8-5.

**Additional edit, Twitter is pewch. The day the Milldog and Mulldog start tweeting I hope you all boycott our blog.

Pope John Paul

With my disgust in the Nuggets 4th Quarter meltdown, and our focus thus far on only NBA basketball I wanted to touch on another subject. Why in the world does J.P. Losman (Bills former savior) not have a job? He did fairly admirable filling in for the injured Trent Edwards (Bills new anointed savior) last year.....right?


I think J.P may have sealed his fate to Rob Johnson status (another West coast QB with a dream bod, golden arm, and a peanut brain) with his terrible fumble last year vs the jets. I mean, dropping back to pass and fumbling the ball with under two to play, in your own zone, and with the lead is as much Coach Dick "the human cadaver" Jauron's fault as JP's.

Regardless, even with his career TDs (33) hovering right below career INTs (34) doesn't Bobby Boucher deserve a spot on someones bench as a number 2/3?

With the likes of Joey Harrington, John David Booty and Ms. Cleo "call me now" Lemon still on active rosters, doesn't this guy deserve a shot to hold a clipboard in a new system.
