Here are some of this week's interesting thoughts that I've had:

 

  Brett:  Thanks, but no thanks.  As I said before, I have much love for you.  You're one of my favorite players in the whole wide world of sports.  But who do you think you're kidding?  Jason Whitlock was on to something when we wrote that article about you.  You thought you could force the Pack's hand and make them release you.  But it didn't work, now, did it??  Then they tried to throw bait.. I mean, Arrington at you, to make you come back quicker.  But that didn't pan out well, either.  Everyone knows you're 28 TD's behind Marino for all time TDs.  Only a fool would be crazy enough to fall for that act you pulled.  Now you got a bunch of people who aren't so fond of you anymore, and could care less what you do this season.  I just hope you got it in you to show folks you still got a little bit of gas left in the tank (Speaking of gas left in the tank....never mind, I may get depressed)

 

 

Keith Hernandez-  What cave did you crawl out of?  Do you realize this is 2006?  You're a jerk.  Not many men would be offended by your comments, mainly because it doesn't have anything to do with them.  But if I saw you walking down the street, I would slap the taste out of your mouth.  I mean, what did you think the the#### was gonna do in the dugout?  Strip stark naked and cause a distraction to the players (although I'm sure most guys wouldn't mind it)?  Seriously.  Women in the 21st Century has jobs of all kinds, including laborers, doctors, and get this, sports journalists.  Please, take your wooden club and your, "I am man, women are inferior" attitude back to the Stone Age with Fred and Barney and have a nice life.

 

 

 

 Ray Lewis- I already wasted my time on you before about your issues, so all I'm gonna say is SHUT UP!  No one cares that you want to roam the sidelines freely like you once used to.  Wanna know why?  Two reasons.  One, because you are an aging LB who is not the same as 4-5 years ago.  So based on that alone, you won't be as dominant as you have been in the past.  And second, most people know that this is about money more then about defensive scheme.  It's no secret that you are short on cash because of a pending civil suit, and need one last big payday in order to stay afloat.  I know it sounds harsh, but I'm just being honest.   The icing on the cake is when you told ESPN that you never asked to be traded.  Yet your team's owner, head coach and GM all have had interviews saying that you DID in fact asked to be traded.  If I were Ozzie, you'd have a 1st class ticket out of town.  But I'm not Ozzie and he won't do that, so we'll see how the season plays out.  Until then, please be quiet.

 

 

Ricky Williams-  People of the blogging world. Take a good look at Ricky Williams.  Ricky is a prime example of, "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong".  He just can't get right.  I don't think anyone was surprised by this.  And I think it's safe to say that most people were beyond caring about it.  Personally, I think it's sad.  I'd do whatever I had to in order to stay clean if I were making millions of dollars.  Nothing would come in between me and my millions.  I would never participate in an episode of Fear Factor, because I'm afraid of heights,I can barely swim, and I'm NOT eating any damn bugs!  But if they were giving out millions to do it, I would seriously reconsider.  I may chew a tarantula or two if it guaranteed 7+ figures in my bank account.  Get right, Ricky!  Get right!

 

 

 Reggie Bush- If Reggie didn't take an illegal substance or kill anyone during his time at USC, then why are we discussing his Heisman Trophy possibly being taken away from him?  I know the technical answer, but which is the lesser of two evils here?  The Bush family, or the NCAA?  All the money the NCAA gets through bowl games and other sponsors, yet you get mad because they move into a house that you assume they can't afford?  I can name a whole lot of people who live beyond their means everyday.  And with players who are projected superstars, you'd be surprised how much you can get on credit, just off of name alone.  Did anyone have this issue when LeBron's mamma went out and bought a Hummer that looked like she got it from Pimp My Ride?  I think not.  Leave the Bush family alone.  If it were your family, I'd love to see you turn it down.

 

Honorable Mentions-  Did anyone hear the NBA MVP songs that Mike and Mike came up with on their show?  Classics.  I couldn't stop laughing.  The Kobe song was the best, followed by the LeBron song and then the Nash song.  They need that to be an automatic download on ESPN.com.  They'd be surprised how many hits they would get.  Most of them would probably be from me because I'm corny, but I still thought it was funny.

 

 

Speaking of Mike and Mike, I really liked the whole Marriage Madness idea.  I was kinda jealous.   I wish I could've participated in the contest.  But since I'm married already, I'm gonna go out on the limb and assume that I wasn't eligible.    On second thought, I don't know how great of an idea that really would've been for my wedding.  I'm a Ravens fan and my husband's a Steelers fan..... Oil and water just doesn't mix.  Knowing our families, a fight would've broke out over who's the better safety: Polamalu, or Reed.

 

 

Hey everyone!!!!!  I just want to say sorry and how much I missed you guys in the blogging community.  I've been sooo busy, that I've had no time for even myself.  So, I decided to spew off a few things that's been going on with me, and with what's going on in the sports world.  I hope to keep this as brief as possible, but I have a lot of ground to cover.

 

First off, I've decided to go back to school.  It's not college, but it's broadcasting school.  I told all of y'all out there that I wanted to be the next Bonnie Bernstein, and I intend on getting to that level at some point one day. I've been focused with that, so watch out, world!!  Here I come

 

Secondly, I've decided to spend just about all of my spare time writing a book about.....what else??  Football.  From time to time, I usually send out my thoughts about the Ravens to my friends and family, and they really find it enjoying (so they tell me, anyway).  I know what you're thinking.  This chick can't even spell properly, so how's she gonna write a book.  Well, spell check is a wonderfuI thing.  I get so sick of my girlfriends asking me about this, or that, so I decided to write a book and get women to understand the game a little better, in a way that ONLY women cen relate.  So guys, look out for my book when it's done.  Good gift to get your girl who wants to learn more about that wonderful pigskin sport. 

Third, for some reason, my son's teacher decided to give his class a book report due EVERY Wednesday (my son, by-the-way, is 7 years old),so in addition to going to school and writing, I've been helping my son with his weekly book report.  But that's okay.  School (for the both of us) is out in 2 more months.

 

Okay, enough about me.  That was just a recap of what I've been doing.  So, let me put my 2 cents in on everything I can think of that I missed discussing with you guys on the net:

 I love Brett Lorenzo Favre.  This I must confess.  But you're being an ####.  Stop holding Green Bay hostage and just make up your mind!!!!!  Do something, either retire and live on a farm, or come back and play mediocre for one more year.  I don't think anyone cares anymore at this point.  However, to play devil's advocate, if I were Brett, I'd probably do the same thing.  In my mind, anyone stupid enough to give Favre that kind of power, to make up his mind whenever he's ready, deserves it.  Who wouldn't take advantage of a legal situation if the opportunity arose (and I say legal, cause some of y'all are sick)?? 

 

* T.O.-  Goodness, who cares..Never mind

 

*Barry Bonds- Okay, if you want to play the race card, that's cool if that's your style.  But I'm black, and I have to admit, I think a lot of this you put on yourself.  The change in your body, the sudden rise in hr's at bats, the "gifts" you got from Balco, your trainer getting arrested, the grand jury testimony....I could go on and on about why I think Barry has dug his own grave.  but I won't.  Because know there are a lot of people who will never see it that way.  Oh, and by-the-way, your show's not that great.  Actually kinda boring and sympathetic.  Guess that can happen when you have editing rights.

 

 

* I don't think I've been this excited about the NFL Draft in quite a while.  New Orleans holds the key to EVERYTHING that happens in the first round.  Never do I remember a time where the pick of one team determines the outcome of what's going to happen.  Can April 29th get here already?  My TiVo is set!!!

 

 Speaking of the draft, Vince Young will do alright in the NFL.  Y'all get off his back!  Yeah, I know he played most of his snaps in shotgun formation and yadda yadda.  But with the right mentor, he has the potential to be something special.  I don't see him sliding past the 10th pick in the draft.  He's no Mike Vick.  So all you Young haters, get it out of your system now, before it's too late. 

 

 

 

* I like the move of Culpepper  to the Fins.  They surprised the hell out of me last season at 9-7 with Frerotte as their QB.  Imagine what they can do with a healthy Daunte.  Kinda scary.

* I hope everyone enjoyed Opening Day for their respected baseball teams.  Unfortunately, by the 3rd game of season, no one showed up at Camden Yards to see the Orioles play the Devil Rays.  Mainly because we suck.  Even though they killed Tampa Bay the day before with a 16-6 win, they lost the next night 2-0.  Again, Angelos, PLEASE sell the team!!!!!!

 

To Air McNair:  Management in Tenn. is treating you like a step child.  You don't need that! Although I understand they don't want to pay you that kind of money if you get hurt, come to a team that will appreciate you.  We will give you what you're looking for, a chance at redemption.  The Ravens have a nice cushiony spot, just for you.  Ask Kerry. We told him we didn't want him, because we're waiting for you to be set free.  What's that?  The Ravens play the Titans on Nov. 12th IN Tenn?  Revenge is sweet my friend (yeah, I'm sucking up.  This town needs a QB that can make us respected, dammit!!).

 

 

 Say what you will about my man Pedro.  But he has huge coconuts he's carrying around.  To hit Guillen like that, and KNOWING he's no longer a pitcher for the American League shows his fearlessness.  Do I have to remind you guys of the Old Man Zimmer incident??  Okay, maybe I took it too far, but he's alright in my book.  Other then that S Curl on his head, I mean.  With heart like that, he gets a vote from me!!

 

 

 

Oh, one more thing, CONGRATS Lady Terps!!!!

The people of MD would like to thank you for bringing some type of winning to the state, since we haven't seen much of it in a while.  With the expection of the Skins going to the playoffs last year, Ravens did bad last year, O's stink, Nats are still new, Wizards are still the Wizards and the men's Terps have done much of nothing since their Champtionship title.  Thanks for making us Marylanders proud of something.
