Some people think getting a black flag is a bad thing. Let's be real. A black flag is street cred. Besides, chicks don't dig the long ball, they dig the bad boys (and in your case, Sarah, the bad girls).

So I'm giving my favorite sports posts this week a black flag.

Odell v. Goodell
Sarah at Strike Zones and End Zones writes a piece for The Naughty American about Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman's suit against the NFL under the Americans with Disabilities Act, challenging his suspension by citing his alcoholism as a disability (tsk, tsk, Sarah -- writing for The Naughty American -- and I thought you were a good girl).

Jared Allen's Mullet Wins and Award
Someone who did NOT sue the NFL for his suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy is Jared Allen. Allen was named AFC Defensive Player of the month and Arrowhead Addict reports Allen is now giving his mullet credit for the award. His mullet did it. Roger Goodell needs to get the #### man out to Arrowhead and check Allen's progress in recovery.

Baby Bull vs. Midget
I did not find this post from Chris over at Blog of Hilarity in any way shape or form funny or enjoyable. In fact, I'm really offended on behalf of the midget. And the poor baby bull. That's exactly why I'm linking it here.

The Chief's Power Rankings
The Chief provides his absolutely hilarious NFL power rankings for Hugging Harold Reynolds. MEMO TO SPORTS ILLUSTRATED AND THE NFL HALL OF FAME: Fire that fat pig Peter King and hire The Chief. Today.

KLValus is off to Texas Motor Speedway for Miller Lite and FoxSports.com
Winner of Miller Lite and FoxSports.com's version of a Florida election (somehow FoxSports.com completely screwed up and the right person won) and judge of The Black Flag-DirecTV NASCAR Hotpass Moment Contest at Epic Carnival has over drugged her patients for the weekend so she can head off to Texas Motor Speedway and hang with NASCAR bad boy Kurt Busch.

Two Words Redskins Fans Never Want to Hear Again: Heath Shuler
At First and Ten Inches, the Ghost of Heath Shuler Stirs a QB Controversy in Miami during their quest for their second and greatest perfect season. Not sure which is scarier this Halloween week. Thoughts of Shuler and his room temperature IQ in the NFL or in Congress. A biopic of his life could be called dumb and dumber. The NFL is a thinking man's sport, but Shuler is right in his element in Congress.
