Scanning the world of sports, one can see many malcontents, miscreants, ingrates, and other bad seeds. As a fan, do you get so pissed off that you just want to VENT? Well here’s your chance to vent. While I gear this column towards the NFL, I welcome fans of all sports to throw the object of your ire Under The Bus (Jerome Bettis Limited Edition, 850 hp). I have some nominees.
NFL
Baltimore Ravens: I’ll laugh at you after I throw you under the bus. This team is PATHETIC. You LOST to a winless team!! You deserve to be called the Baltimore Canaries after that “effort”. AND YOU RUINED MY CHANCE TO SEE A TEAM GO WINLESS!!!! UNDER THE BUS YOU GO!!!
Cincinnati Bengals: it’s OVER for you. Time to blow this team up and start over. As much as I like Chad Johnson, his heart wasn’t in the game against San Francisco. Trade him while he has high trade value and get extra draft picks.
Detroit LLLLLLLLLLLions: you have golfing on the brain. Giving up 51 points to San Diego? That’s the sign of a team that has quit. The Dolphins have a WORSE record than you, yet they haven’t QUIT. So under the Bus you go.
NBA
Golden State Warriors: yes, you beat the Lakers the other night in front of the largest crowd to see a basketball game in California. Good win. But don’t act like you won the NBA championship in mid-December. So Under The Bus you go!
MLB
Sen. George Mitchell (D-Maine): what a colossal waste of money! And for what? To make you look important? While I’m at it, I’ll throw the Commissioner under the bus as well.
Those are my nominees for this week. Come on in with your nominees!!
I am from Central California. I am passionate about sports, particularly the NFL and NASCAR. My favorite teams are: Panthers (NFL), Lakers (NBA), Flyers (NHL), and Dodgers (MLB). I am also a Kevin Harvick fan in NASCAR. I am a Fresno State honk. (I'll admit it!) And I am also a fan of MMA. Jackie Robinson to this day represents what is right about baseball. I also enjoy discussing the relevant (and sometimes irrelevant) issues of the day pertaining to sports. I will never understand why televised poker is so popular. Who wants to see a bunch of people sitting around a table, muttering to themselves? I do my best to keep politics out of my sports discussions. That is why I recently created a nonsports blog, cencalscribe. blogspot.com. That is where I post my nonsports topics.
