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.
