As we type, another network is pushing a segment on Title Town. Ok, them is fighting words, Vern. This is as stupid as claiming which NCAA football conference is the best. Several conferences need to travel TO bowl games instead of playing at home stadiums before the masses will offer total respect. Remember the four-letter network's terrible "Who's Now" segment last year? I'm still hosing down the living room to remove the stench. This is more of the same refuse.
No city owns the Title Town moniker and plenty of fine citizens will offer to fight over the name.
Green Bay was ONCE known by that name; it's lame to make a claim to a name that has applied only ONCE since the late 1960's. Let it go, Green Bay. Be happy you still have an NFL franchise. Los Angeles will be sniffing for an NFL team in a few years.
Please feel free to toss replies with team/franchise nicknames that really piziss you off. Yes, I live in DFW; I grew up despising the Cowboys, since Pearson pushed off on the Hail Mary pass against my beloved Vikes!
What franchise do you hate and why? Here are the leading contenders.
NFL-
America's Team! That was a name created for a NFL FILMS video. Tex Schramm and his Cowboys cronies jumped on it and the flea bag media and fans kept it going. Hey! Every sport needs a Dr. Evil franchise for everyone else to hate. Philly fans should be happy it's not them the rest of the leagues hates and is jealous of, too.
In the 80's the SuperStation, TBS, a Turner commodity, attempted to bogart the name, America's Team, for the Braves. Didn't work, did it. How can a team from a city that can't build a freeway to loop the city be hated? Well, unless Ray Lewis has a weapon, I'm not worried!
The New England Pats are rising on the hate charts, courtesy of the video camera and three, lame three point SuperBowl wins(?).
MLB-
The prissy Yankees and their astronomical payroll win in an uncontested match. How can we not hate the Yankees! It's as easy as ' A squared + B squared = C squared.' The highest payroll in the western hemisphere can't buy titles any more. I love it. Red Sox fans, quit your crying. You're the second most hated franchise in MLB, since your 'Johnny come lately' fans have a huge sense of entitlement. Go back to worshipping Dennis Leary, please. Anyone know who's the daddy of A-Rod's kids?
NHL-
Let's face it, Detroit is the bomb. This is the Title Town of the NHL. I respect the pizza franchise dictator's running of the Red Wings. This only leaves teams with dirty players and that leaves Sean Avery, dirtbag-turd. The NHL created a rule, during the playoffs because of this swine. Wait, he just signed with the Stars. Whoops! I'm not impartial any more. Fans are more jealous of the Red Wings than anything else.
NBA-
That's beyond easy, since Kindergarten kids hate the Lakers. There's nothing more to say. At least the Police Blotter has not included Lakers lately.
We’ve survived a sports bonanza the past week, yet why do I feel worn out and annoyed by redundancy and unanticipated sleaze?
1) The NFL Draft-Can this event go on any longer? Thank God the league shortened the first round selection time from 15 minutes. The number of talking heads who claim to know the draft order gives me headaches. Who pays to hear from these guys? Keyshawn Johnson giving advice to anyone is suspect, for the lack of a nasty word. Here’s a hint networks, put a babe on the panel and the boys will watch. Put them in bikinis and Parcells will watch. Why the avalanche of pre-draft selection shows, followed by endless post-draft shows? Can you say overkill? Calgon take me away!
2) Sean Avery of the NHL Rangers is such a turd that the league created a new rule because of him DURING the playoffs. Avery was waving his stick in the goalie’s face, obstructing his view. Avery also spent his quality time discussing the goalie’s ex-wife. Classy guy, that Avery! The unnamed goalie refused to shake Avery’s hand at the end of the series. I salute him for that. Media hacks immediately dissed the goalie for being a poor role model to kids. Apparently the media didn’t watch the games, but phoned in the stories. Bad media, bad media! Get off the keyboard.
Karma showed up and kicked Avery in the spleen following the game. The mouthy child was hospitalized with a lacerated spleen and the blogging world wasn’t overly disappointed at his situation. Complications to his surgery were reported today. How do you lacerate a spleen without a switchblade! In March, it was reported that Avery’s phone number was in a Manhattan Madam’s little black book. I thought hockey dudes got all the chicks…they do, for $700 an hour, with the Spitzer discount! I’m here all week, try the veal.
3) UEFA Champions League-Bet you don’t care what that is. I do. The cream of the European soccer crop plays an international tournament. This year, the last teams standing are Chelsea (blue jersey) and Manchester United (red jersey). (Color hints were for US fans.) This all English final will be played in Moscow. What’s the over/under on arrests? Do the fans have to bring their own handcuffs to the game? What are hooligans like on holiday? Wait till May 21 to find the match buried on your cable networks. This match shows that the Premier League is the bomb!
4) Roger Clemens-This pathetic drama makes me yearn for Barry Bond’s fat head. Mindy McCready has not denied having a sexual relationship with Clemens when she was 15! Isn’t that a criminal act? Clemens can kiss off his Hall of Fame election now that the media has someone to zero in on that’s not named Bonds. Since the facts eventually surface in the East River, we’ll learn just how sleazy Roger is, and if it’s anything like his attorney, Rusty, it’ll get ugly. Mrs. Clemens did not return my calls, but her attorney did! Ba-da-bing! Call me Debbie!
5) Jason Whitlock, a dude who gets paid to write sports articles, hates everyone with a keyboard that isn’t named Jason Whitlock. Sorry Jason, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act guarantees the public the right to blog. Go ahead, look it up. The internet has changed the sports information game and some cry babies want to pick up their sandbox and go home. This isn’t the 80’s Whitlock. Everyone gets to play. If you’re not nice, the public may notice that you don’t have game, just the same move where you juke to the far left and cry, ‘‘Skin color foul!” Bring that one-on-one and I’ll feed you the ball for lunch. The blogosphere deserves better.
Personal Rant:
6) I spent Thursday thru Sunday at the PGA Byron Nelson Classic. This meant I missed most of the NFL draft. Not really, the draft will be re-played till August kickoff. The tourney used to be in May, followed by the Hogan in Fort Worth. This gave PGA players the opportunity to park their butts in the metro area for two weeks. The brain trust in the PGA office decided to hose over north Texas by splitting the tournaments and moving the Byron Nelson Classic to April. Ok, that’s a personal rant and the brainiac commissioner adjusted the schedule for 2009. In 2007, the course was in terrible shape and half the greens were dead and embalmed! This year only one Top Ten player showed and it was the Masters champion. The tournament skippers missed a fantastic new course, built by D.A. Weibring after the 2007 tournament. Eldrick Woods wasn’t missed as the new course was the show. Eldrick also avoids the Hogan because it’s a traditional course. There’s not a known meaning for the name Eldrick. I think it’s a convoluted Spanish name, el Drick, meaning: Born with a wicked awesome shot.
That’s all the time I have. Enjoy the rest of the show featuring the singing group, I Love the Lakers and Can’t Name Three East Teams.
PacMan Jones mania is starting up. As the draft nears, rumors pop up like busted NCAA Basketball brackets. Who will cough up a draft pick to take the criminal urchin? Talent be damned. Who will sell their franchises soul to take this 'gumball machine' magnet.
My source in the know has provided me with this shot of the dancers at 'the club' right before Mr. Jones dropped his $85,000 on the stage. I hope it passes muster with the FoxAdmin dudes.
Happy holiday, hippies!
That is a holiday picture. Think back to your childhood and Easter.
This person blogs about the English Premier League.
Here's a pic 'she' had in today's post:
This is the post as of 6:15 PM.(The blogger changed the post after I wrote this, so the link is to the most recent version, which now includes the photos below and a blame the husband comment. All the responder comments are also gone. Her old posts were updated to include props to the model her face is attached to.)
Yes, that is a lovely picture and it was even better when I saw it in Playboy a few years ago.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the original picture of a lovely centerfold named Charis Boyle, prior to being photoshopped. Many American males NEVER forget a great picture. THIS PICTURE WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL POST. This was found on the WWW in a couple minutes, since I recognized the body and remembered the name.
I have no idea if the blogger posting under these English football posts is male, female or other. I do know the blogger knows the sport and how to photoshop a picture.
The comments from the guys saying how hot 'she' is are the best part.
Be careful out there, boys.
(The Next Day...Amazingly 'her' original post was updated to include the pictures above, side by side and a reference to the hubby photoshopping it all. Two additional group pictures, including Charis, suddenly appeared, too. Also included now is an ode to Charis. Out of place in an original sports blog, wouldn't you say? All the original comments were deleted from many posts, too. Strange.
On 'her' previous blogs, she's added a 'thank you' comment about the model she used to bogart the lingerie shot. Body doubles from 'her' blogs are Playboy Centerfolds, Playboy Cybermodels, Shirley of Hollywood Models, etc. I know that because I'm a male and we remember a hot bod in lingerie.)
The best news coming from the NFL Free Agency Signing Period came this morning as Brett Favre announced his retirement after 16 years of service to NFL fans.
The cries of agony resonate from Green Bay. This has been more than offset by the cries of ecstasy in Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit. The Black and Blue division is up for grabs in 2008. No team has a starting QB worth an empty Grain Belt can.
Amazingly, the happiest party to the Favre retirement is Aaron "Chico" Rogers, Green Bay QB heir apparent.
This Vikings fan living in Cowboys country has nothing but respect for the gunslinger, Favre. Always a great watch, Favre was either going to toss a spectacular, game winning touchdown or an interception.
Brett, now that you're retired and have time, slide on down to the county courthouse, plunk down $165.00 and fill out a name change petition. Spell it like you say it, Mr. Brett Farve!
Some free advice, Brett:
Wrangler commercials are Ok, but don't pull a Peyton Manning with commercials.
If I see you in a Viagra commercial, I will hunt you down and beat you with a yardage marker, got it!
Have a nice retirement and I hope to see you in the booth.
The past week was filled with juicy sports stories and terrible news for MLB. Here's the Week That Was.
A) MLB Mrs. Clemens, Debbie, has admitted to using HGH before a swimsuit photo shoot. I wonder where McNamee injected her. Maybe she took something orally instead. I can't wait for the public disclosure. Can Roger's denial about steroids and HGH be believed if he had his wife injected? Goodbye first ballot Hall of Fame! Sit next to Barry on the Group W bench, please. Buh-bye. Andy P. dropped a dime on Roger. Here's a shot of the two preparing their testimony. Add your own punch line.
2) NBA Mavericks trade for Jason Kidd has hit a snag and it involves: The Early Bird Exception! That's a legit collective bargaining clause. It seems to be a two year qualifying event instead of three. Whatever! I could write the specifics, but that would involve math and stuff. It's the weekend, thank you. The deal can be salvaged by repackaging the contract of Christian Laetner, Keith Van Horn or some other dead dude: I can't remember which.
D) MLB Kevin Mench, AKA Shrek, has signed a minor league deal. Rangers fans, both of em', immediately bought six game ticket packages. Kevin is known for his large head, which still is tiny compared to the Bonds cranium. Shrek's cap size is 8 point something. The competition will be fierce for the extra outfielder position. The Mench bobblehead was truly that.
If you picked up on the numbering for the first three items, you're a fan of quotes from Home Alone.
7) NBA The Basketball Hall of Fame finalists include likely entrants: Adrian Dantley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwan, a couple coaches and some foreign dudes I don't know. Look for a name player to get hosed in favor o####irl who played Iowa High School basketball and scored 20 per game.
Q) NFL Pats fans will be on the defensive as a former Rams player and fans have filed a $100,000, 000.00 dollar federal lawsuit. Seems they believe the Pats pattern of cheating is racketeering. Sic em'! Related to this is the NFL revelation that the Pats taped Steeler defensive coaches during four games from 2001-2004, which included two AFC Championship games. The Pats won three of the four. Yikes! More fodder for the flames?
Red) NBA The All Star game is on today or tonight. Of all the major sport All Star games, this is the best and I'm not watching this joke, either. There's no defense and bad shooting. It looks like a High School JV game with the hot dogging. The hilight is Charles Barkley's mouth. I hope Strahan retires from the NFL soon. We need him in the booth.
3) NASCAR Left Turn fans rejoice over the beginning of the 2008 season. Yes, the Daytona 500 is finally here. "Right Turn Clyde." I do have one suggestion to the France family. Move the race to the week before the Super Bowl. We have nothing to do that week. The ratings would rule. I'll tune into the in progress race shortly. It's hard to choose who I cheer for. I know I'd like to hang with Tony Stewart and b-smack Kurt Busch. Good times.
R) Ammo was on sale this week, so I'm a happy camper.
Here we are after a full season of NFL football. The playoffs are over and we now have the most exciting possible matchup of the New England Patriots vs. What the $%&@!
This is a great matchup if you're a Patriots fan or extreme optimist from the Meadowlands, NJ. How did this happen to us.
I'm setting the over/under on "that's why they play the game" cliches at three per half hour preview show.
The big winner today was New England. They may will finally win a Super Bowl by more than three points. I imagine an opening Vegas Line of 14 points. I'll be watching the Super Bowl for the commercials again. Tabasco may have something new. I loved that mosquito going up in flames. Monster will waste millions on a bad ad. That's always amusing.
The network has to love this captive television audience matchup. Yawn!
Hey, who wants to take up bowling, crochet or maybe go skeet shooting for the next two weeks? We don't have to spend our time arguing about the Super Bowl.
Goliath must go down and he must go down hard! Go Giants!
I love those Budweiser clydesdales. We could talk about what commercials Bud and Pepsi should do. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This is so wrong. I'll be watching the Fox Soccer Channel soon.
Below: Sports reporters and Bloggers react to the Super Bowl matchup. Oh the humanity.
The Patriots amazing and record tying regular season is finally complete. Congratulations to the Patriots fans who saw the record run.
Still, it's not good enough. The Patriots MUST run the table or be labeled the biggest bust in NFL history. The pressure is on as the Patriots begin the post-season. Losing is inconceivable, yet for the rest of us, a desired event.
This just in...the Patriots are possibly the biggest cheaters in the history of the league.
The record team/coach fine of $750,000.00 is incomprehensible.
Has any modern team lost their first round draft pick as a penalty for cheating and paid a huge fine? Team owner Kraft didn't go the public route and dispute the NFL cheating charges.
The Patriots aren't tarnished, they're rusty. Time won't be kind as fans of 31 teams will always bring up the Pats Video-Gate episode.
Many of us are still waiting to hear ALL the facts about the cheating. We probably won't hear much due to the NFL's desire to protect itself. The 32 owners will circle the wagons, play mum and hope we all forget Video-Gate.
The ratings from Saturday night's Patriots at Giants game had to be record breaking as it was shown on three networks. That was a subject of the guys at Sunday breakfast. Viewers watched hoping the G-men would upset the Patriots; yet it didn't happen. This game was without bad officiating and replay, like the Patriots/Ravens game.
I love the Holy Grail records. We need something to strive for that can't be reached because it's too inconceivable.
Bob Beamon's record long jump of 29' 2.5" could never be broken, could it? Mike Powell beat the record and fans were in shock. Beamon hasn't lost his lustre in the eyes of fans and neither will the 72 Dolphins.
As the NFL post-season begins, fans of 31 teams will cheer against the Pats, whose fans won't understand. Baseball fans were blind to steroids and HGH for far too long; we're sick of cheating, especially institutional cheating.
Sit back and enjoy the playoffs. Better yet, you better take one of these pills to help you understand the ends justify the means.
Ok, I really hate Boston. I'm already sick of the current successes in major sports. For decades, Boston fans have been the ones we really pitied. No more. Via recent sports emergence, we fans now hate Boston. Congratulations Boston, you can't use the 'pity card' any more. Please drop it off at the public library.
1 The Red Sox ARE the new Evil Empire. With the second highest sports payroll in the western hemisphere, why should a fan feel sorry for the Red Sox. The current Santana Sweepstakes is a prime example of Red Sox' deep pockets. Winning may make the country hate the Sox more than King George's Yankees.
2 The Boston Celtics(love em') are the darlings of the NBA and media. Add in the cute new uniforms and we have a Malibu Barbie sighting in the Fleet Center, or whatever it's called after the latest corporate takeover.
3 The New England Patriots. How can fans not dislike a team that won three SuperBowls because of a frickin' kicker! Then the team let the guy go to Indy, where he picked up another Ring. Way to go.
4 Did I mention three SuperBowls won by a kicker? All the wins could have been losses. Ok, it's the Salary Cap Era and only NE has dominated. I can't respect a NFL player who can perform his NFL duties and fire up a smoke at the same time. Sorry, that's how I feel. Hey, I saw that movie.
5 Junior Seau, the Dennis Erickson of players, jumped from the Chargers to Miami, to wherever, to retirement, then to New England, where he suddenly had the desire to play again. Sorry Junior, you lost my first ballot HOF vote for that panty waisted activity. Man up and admit that the Pats recruited you while under contract.
6 Video Gate!!! Did we need this atrocity to distort our beliefs of fair and pure competition in the NFL. Oh, the humanity(whatever that means). How could the Pats brass have the brass to give a coach a video camera during the game. Now all the Super Bowl wins are tainted in many eyes, forever. Pats fans will be forced to defend all those wins in bar fights. Wait, that's a normal Boston activity called Tuesday.
7 Randy Moss was stolen from the Raiders for the price of a slightly used lobster! The Pats coughed up more for Wes Welker, yes, Wes Welker, than they did for Moss. Blame the Raiders for helping New England re-load!
8 Coach Belichick. First, the spelling of the name and name itself is an issue. 'Chick? Then "The Hoodie" comes to mind. Ever heard of clothing named after a coach, other than the Tom Landry fedora? Nope. Who cares if the coach is a slob. We like to see chili sauce on the front. That makes us believe Coach B is human and has his wife yell at him too. What? Oh, really? Mrs. Coach B filed for divorce? See Bill, you should have dressed better.
9 Tom Brady Baby Daddy! This guy has the pick of the litter with all the kittens out there. That should be reason #1, yet I'll cut him some slack since Bridget probably yells at him enough. Baby Daddy! At least he doesn't have a bunch of bad prison tats of his family all over him, I hope.
(she cleans up nicely)
10 A major sports network is bombarding us with self-serving promo commercials, featuring a 'Boston guy' who is smarter than you. It comes off as poor man's Dennis Leary and was old after the second commercial, my friend.
Bonus Some day the Boston community may get an NHL franchise. Until then, they're incomplete.
In an attempt to round my world sports knowledge, I've been following the 2007 Rugby World Cup, held mainly in France. The players are as tough as NFL and NHL players. Many love this sport more than soccer. Las Vegas had France as a huge favorite. This is like Stanford knocking off USC as a +40 underdog. (I prefer rugby, since it's like U.S. football.)
The problem with the written match highlights is translating the information from British English into American English.
(What was written)
The kick-off was knocked on by the French, leading to a scrum. It collapsed. Andy Gomarsall took the free kick quickly, chipping it down to the corner. The ball bounced away from the groping Damien Traille and into the hands of the onrushing Josh Lewsey. The English winger crashed over the French fullback and the line. It was the only try of the match. (New York Times Online - International Herald Tribune 10/13)
"SAY WHAT! What you talking about Willis!"
Translated:
On a free kick, the French player misjudged the live ball and let it bounce at his own two yard line. The Brit grabbed the live ball, right in front of the Frenchie, who slid past the bouncing ball. The Brit smashed into Frenchie as they fell over the goal line. This was the only touchdown of the day, as field goals prevailed. Final score: 14-9. The touchdown will be shown forever on FoxSports and ESPN Sports Bloopers. Chris Berman will do the sound effects.
"I demand a rematch or it will be war!"
In back to back Rugby World Cups, France has beaten powerful New Zealand, only to lose its next match to a weaker opponent.
These guys are good. By rule, tackles must be made by wrapping up an opponent. There are no shoe-string tackles, helmets or shoulder pads.
Nothing has been mentioned about cups. Ouch!
Following the match, all had tea as England and all of the U.K. celebrated.
Look out Bosox fans, here come the dreaded Yankees.
Just when you hoped the Evil Empire was dead, they climb out of the grave and come after you.
Now look in that mirror, see, there it is, right behind you, creeping up to steal your soul and end your cheers.
Is it Godzilla?
What is that awful sight.
With 9 and 10 games remaining, respectively, the Bosox and Yankees are keeping it close, with Boston's 1.5 game lead.
The networks will be playing this up on FOXSPORTS and SportsCenter every night. McNabb could throw for 600 yards and 12 touchdowns; it won't be the lead story.
The pencil necked geek analysts will scurry out of their gopher holes and tell us why this or that will happen, whether the team wants the 4 days rest or 5...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Still, the good news for Boston is the minimum impact of bad news. Even if the Yankees do come in and steal the division title, the Sox will win the Wild Card.
Hey, what's that behind the car. It looks like a ghost.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's the ghost of Bucky F'n Dent!!!!!!
Be afraid Boston, be very afraid. JoshQPublic just order 12 Sammy's at the bar.
Other than no Plus-One to determine a National Champion, the true evil is the Pre-Season poll. As a result of the early poll, undeserving teams are highly ranked and others claim a birth right to their position. This year Michigan proved to be a complete poll bungle and USC is claiming #1 status after having beaten only Idaho, followed by a bye week. I believe we should have NO POLLS until after the third game of the season. This will give us a better picture of reality and shake out the crumb bumbs and shoe clerks(poker reference).
Think about the cliché arguments used by a team that drops after barely beating an unranked rival. “But we won, so we shouldn’t lose our #1 position, etc.” Play quality opponents, win and the polls will reward the team. If you choose not to, another team will take your position. That’s how it is in the adult world called, work.
Sure, the NCAA can’t enforce stopping the polls; the NCAA can refuse to allow participation by the teams and coaches with any media service producing an early poll. That would force the media to listen and act. Is it realistic? Probably not.
This year, I rank LSU as 1A and Oklahoma as 1B. These teams have played two games each and have defeated quality opponents. USC has only played Idaho and is ranked #1. This makes no sense. Start mumbling and cursing my name now, USC fans.
Still, there’s plenty that’s right about College Football for the fans. We have total cable saturation and can watch about any conference, Thursday thru Saturday. Right now, seven games are being broadcast. Go back 30 years. ABC broadcast one game a week. Only the top tier teams made the schedule and the nation watched. Cable exploded during the 80’s and the NCAA noticed. Conferences signed contracts with the networks and cable networks. The fans and the sport have benefited. Add the internet and bloggers have plenty to discuss and argue about. We share college football opinions, stories, memories and the occasional recipe. It’s almost ALL good. Get rid of the Pre-Season poll and I’ll be happy.
Football is upon us and it's the time of year when a young man's fancy turns to women, as it does every day.
Fortunately for the male football viewer, networks have provided us with a few easy-on-the-eyes ,quality sideline reporters.
Bonnie Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award - A consummate professional who always keeps our eyes on the game. It’s nice to see a brunette who stays a brunette. Would you rather watch Bonnie or Deion!
Pam Oliver No sideline reporter is better able to get player attention and the interview. Emmitt Smith had his chance and blew it.
Melissa Stark Missing In Action Award – Melissa’s been invisible for several years and reportedly had a run in with Mexican Policia at a NFL Mexico game.
Melissa was never thought to be the sharpest Crayola in the box.
She likely married an insurance salesman in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
What a waste, for us. She had great assets.
Charissa Thompson Up and Coming Award - Charissa can be seen on Fox Sports and has guest hosted on The Best Da-mn Sports Show.
Earlier in the year, she hosted the Fox Sports Big XII Football Preview. I don’t remember a word she said.
I’d watch her discuss shoe shopping.
Unfortunately, ESPN created "Who’s Now", a waste of broadcasting time, which lead to the disqualification of one reporter, who is NOT pictured.
Here are some useful Golf Terms that are not yet clichés, but soon may be.
* A Paris Hilton - an expensive hole * A Salman Rushdie - an impossible read * A Rock Hudson- thought it was straight, but it wasn't * An Elton John - a big bender that lips the rim * An Adolf #### - two shots in the bunker * A Yasser Arafat - ugly and in the sand * A Kate Winslett - little bit fat but otherwise perfect * A Rodney King - over-clubbed * An O.J. Simpson - got away with it * A Princess Grace - should have taken a driver * A Princess Di - shouldn't have taken a driver * A Michael Jackson - gradually fading * A condom - safe but didn't feel real good * An Anna Kournikova - looks great, but unlikely to get a result * A Brazilian - Shaves both sides of the hole
Ok, they're not my terms and this list is currently circulating in cyberspace.
Other than this, "I got nothing." Still, I like the list.
My options were spitting out a quick blog or going to the mall. I made the right choice.
Statistics are a dangerous when handled by zealots.
I believe Burnt Orange isn't a color, it's a disease.
The DH rule should be elimintated.
I like cats and dogs...cats taste more like chicken.
Women are god's greatest creation.
Barry Bonds was detrimental to sports.
The month after the Super Bowl is sports HELL.
March Madness is the best elongated sports extravaganza.
The Masters is great watching, in spite of Jim 'nancy boy' Nantz.
Anyone spouting political commentary should be barred from this site.
This is a sports blog!
I need a soma.
Hey, who wants to take up bowling, crochet or maybe go skeet shooting for the next two weeks? We don't have to spend our time arguing about the Super Bowl.

Irony at its finest!
