Is it just me or do the famous have so much money and time on their hands, they don't know what to do? It seems like everyday, we are seeing someone is getting arrested for this or arrested for that.

In the last 4 days, we have seen 3 good NFL players get arrested. Elvis Dumervil was arrested on July 14th for aggravated assault with a firearm, Marshawn Lynch was arrested on July 15th for a DUI and Dez Bryant was arrested on July 16th on allegedly assaulting his mother. C’mon Son, assaulting your mama! C’MON SON!

For some odd reason, it’s not sinking in that Roger Goodell will not tolerate misbehavior on and off the field. This is the first run in with the law for Dumervil but Lynch and Bryant are repeat offenders and will be hit hard.

Let’s get our acts together NFL players, I got fantasy football leagues to win! C’mon Son!

New Orleans Saints linebacker, Jonathan Vilma is suing the NFL, claiming Roger Goodell failed to make a timely appeal ruling regarding Vilma’s season-long suspension in connection with the league’s bounty investigation. C'mon Son

This is the 2nd lawsuit filed by Vilma. The 1st lawsuit claimed defamation of character. C'mon Son!

Vilma, let it go! Serve your suspension because you are looking like a fool. The funny thing is the reason for all of the lawsuits but none of them are for "He's innocent". C'mon Son!

In this edition of C'mon Son, we want to take a look at the Cleveland Browns. What can you say about the Browns? ALOT! My father(who is from and lives in Ohio) refers to the Browns as "The mistake by the lake". Let's take a trip down memory lane. In the 70's, the Browns traded Paul Warfield to the Dolphins for a draft pick and of course he went on to win 2 Superbowl's. C'mon Son!

Art Modell, the former owner of the Browns moved the team to Baltimore in 1996. The Browns were activated again 1999 but the Baltimore Ravens(the old Browns) won the Superbowl in 2000! C'mon Son!

Fast forward to this year. After the 2011 season, the Browns had the 4th and 22nd picks in the 2012 NFL draft. There were several holes that needed to be filled (RB, QB, WR, OL, DL, CB, S, Head Coach, Waterboy, Announcer, Janitor, etc.) and the hope was that the mastermind, Holmgren would make it happen. They addressed their RB and QB positions in the 1st round but then it got quirky. I don't want to re-visit the Browns draft analysis but there was a big need at WR. The Browns drafted a kick returner at best. C'mon Son! 

To add insult to injury, there were marquee players available in the free agency but the Browns weren't signing them. Randy Moss (out of football in 2011 but still better than any WR on the Browns roster) stated he wanted to play in Cleveland (yeah I know). The Browns said they are not interested in Plaxico Burress (45 receptions, 612 yards, 8 TD's in 2011)  and now they are not interested in James Jones (38 receptions, 635 yards, 7 TD's in 2011). A big C'mon Son! 

The Browns stated they are happy with their WR duo Greg Little (61 receptions, 709 yards, 2 TD's for 2011) and Mohamed Massaquoi (31 receptions, 384 yards, 2 TD's for 2011). I'm sorry but those TD numbers are not jumping out at me. It takes TD's to win games. C'mon Son!

One of the greatest and controversial skits on Saturday Night Live was Racist Word Association with Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase. When it was aired, it was an instant classic. With the offseason coming to a close, let's play word association with all 32 teams. This is the one word that comes to mind when I hear each NFL's team name:


Batimore Ravens - Consistent
Arizona Cardinals - Rising
Buffalo Bills - 90's
Atlanta Falcons - Receivers
Cincinnati Bengals - Improved
Carolina Panthers - Blah
Cleveland Browns - Draft???
Chicago Bears - GROSSman

We call this segment C'mon Son! C'mon Son was made popular by the living legend Ed Lover! I'll use this forum to identify some of the idiocies that have and will take place.

A few things have really gotten to this offseason that has caused me to sit back and say C'mon Son!

1st up, Jonathan Vilma! Your suiing Commissioner Goodell for defamation. C'mon Son, you did it, take the year off and hang with your coach.

2nd, NY Jets, you get a big C'mon Son! You are already a circus, you have an over rated QB and then you bring in a not so good virgin who is a FB.

3rd, the NFL! Knee and thigh pads are now mandatory! C'mon Son, I guess with this new rule in place, the 1500 former players suiing you for concussions will now drop their suits. Because clearly, players can get a concussion from a thigh bruise.
