Schagren Says: is a collection of random thoughts and predictions from the most random person in Knoxville, TN.

Schonert asks Jauron how his a$$ tastes: If you heard that victory yell just now, it was this Buffalo Bills’ apologist cheering now that Dick Jauron has dumped the no-huddle offense. It seemed like a good idea at first with weapons like Terrell Owens, Lee Evans, Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson. The problem is that Trent Edwards is no Peyton Manning or Jim Kelly. Will this save Jauron’s job? The answer is no and former Bills’ offensive coordinator Turk Schonert loves it.

MLB needs instant replay: The only people that disagree with this are currently filing for social security. I get so sick of baseball purists that think instant replay will ruin the game because referees are human and allowed to make mistakes. The blown Joe Mauer call against the New York Yankees was embarrassing. Atlanta Braves fans might call this karma, as they still can’t get over Kent Hrbek throwing Ron Gant off first base to get an out in the 1991 World Series. Managers should be allowed to use two or three instant replays a game on close plays on the basepaths, close plays in the outfield and home run calls.

The Wizards will be the Saints of the NBA: They might not win an NBA championship, but they will be the surprise of the NBA. Now that Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood are healthy, the Wizards have one of the best starting lineups in the NBA. Not many teams added more in the offseason than the Wizards did when they added coach Flip Saunders, guard Mike Miller and guard Randy Foye. Watch out for center JaVale McGee having a breakout season in his second season.

The 49ers are in trouble: Mike Singletary’s boys got embarrassed by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and here comes more bad news: Alex Smith is taking first team reps at 49ers practice. Shaun Hill has struggled lately, but Smith is not the answer in San Francisco. This team needs Frank Gore to get healthy fast or this team could miss the playoffs. It is scary to think how good this team would be if they actually had a good quarterback. Why not sign Brett Favre next season?

Guilty Pleasure Alert: Do I lose my man card if I plan on buying Rihanna’s album next month? I really don’t care if I do, because it is happening. Look at some of the artists on the album: Drake, Ne-Yo, Akon and one of the All-American Rejects. The album might also feature Jay-Z and Kanye West. So mock me all you want, but that is one hell of a list of award-winning artists on her album. Plus it gives me a reason to post another gorgeous picture of her on our website for you to look at…
