Back with Bullets

Well, I think I'm finally back after a long hiatus which pretty much consisted of Keystone Light, Guitar Hero and Entourage. In honor of my glorious return to the internet, I feel compelled to give you a bullet-styled rundown of the hilarious shit that is happening on an otherwise lazy day of sports.

• Clinton Portis thinks its no big deal if Michael Vick hosted dog fights at his house. All this has proved is that Clinton Portis may be a good football player but is a shitty human being. Between playing for the Redskins and supporting Dogfights he equals out to the complete shit hole of human existance. Throw on that he went to University of Miami and copied Chad Johnson's mohawk last season and he becomes a complete fucking tool as well. Clinton Portis, I really wish you would read this to see how real people (not your fucking money-grubbing thuggish dogfighting cock-suckers you call your "boys") feel about the fact that you support dog fighting and inhumane treatment of animals. I seriously hope that you dont reproduce because you are single-handedly holding back all of human life.
  


• Clinton Portis calls Michael Vick a good role model and says that people should mind their own business. What a fucking clown. Vick only got caught bringing weed onto an airplane and owns property where illegal dog fights took place and thats a good role model? Thats the equivalent as saying Lawrence Phillips or Bill Romanowski is a good role model. If this was any other person who was hosting dog fights where animals are tortured they would be sent to a psychiatrist to see if they are fucking sadistic and have problems. But hey its Michael Vick, the quarterback who can't pass and the NFL still tries to make him out to be the best player in the league, he will get out of this with a nice little chat with the commish.
  


• I love Steroids. People need to make up their fucking minds. A decent number of baseball fans say that they would respect Barry Bonds a lot more if he admits that he used steroids while they were not illegal in the game, and shows that he has passed all drug tests since they were made illegal. Then Jason Giambi goes and does this exact thing, even apologizes for taking steroids saying that it was the biggest mistake he ever made, and now everyone is talking about releasing him, trading him or suspending him. Stop being fucking hipocrites. He did it, he made a mistake, he owned up to it, what else do you want? Instead of spending money on how to test for HGH or anything else that would be more beneficial to baseball and society, we are busy trying to crucify someone for coming clean and being honest, which is more than you can say about past Baseball "Golden Boys" (McGwire, Sosa). This is ridiculous and baseball would do itself a favor to drop this bullshit investigation.

(I never thought I would say this, but Giambi is the man)

• Hammerin' Hank once again says that he will not be present when/if Barry Bonds breaks his record. I have a lot of respect for Hank, always seems like a class act whenever he is being interviewed or on television. However, he flip/flops sides on this argument more than John Kerry (bad politics joke I know). On one hand he says that steroids don't help you to hit a baseball, on the otherhand hes not going to watch Barry break his record. If he thinks Barry shouldn't break the record because he took steroid then just say it, don't tip toe around the subject because you dont want him to go through the same stuff you had to go through. Take a side and stick with it because personally I'm tired of a headline on ESPN that says that you repeated yourself again.
  
• George Foreman says that he was drugged before the "Rumble in the Jungle" where Ali beat the shit out of him. The fight was in Africa where many other diseases and much more controversial issues like drugging can take place so this is actually likely. But why the hell would he take over 30 years before coming out and saying anything, or at least making it as well known as it is now. Why would you wait for Ali to be in a poor physical state where he is only a shadow of himself and really can not defend himself or his victory. I think that this is just about the time where Foreman has to come out and make news one more time just so he can promote himself and sell more Foreman Grills. Remember his "comeback" 5 years ago?

Trent Green says that he is no longer playing in Kansas City, Lance Briggs says that he is no longer playing in Chicago. Okay maybe there could be a trade possibility here but thats not what my point is. My point is that your in the fucking NFL, shut up and play. Who cares if you dont have a long-term deal, the average working man does not have any job security, we could get fired or sent to a different city tomorrow so deal with your $5 million plus a year and play the game for fun, like you used to. All you guys do is look like complete douchebags who are more and more out of touch with your fans everyday. If I had the talent, I would play football for 30 Grand a year, even less since they would pay for meals and travel. And seriously, who the Hell are Trent Green and Lance Briggs to demand a trade. Trent Green is the beneficiary of a Hall-of-Fame tight end, one of the best offensive lines ever and two of the best running backs of the past ten years and Briggs is a good player but he is playing alongside the best linebacker in the game for the past 5 years, Brian Urlacher, and was only one part of an all around amazing defense.

• The draft lottery is tonight and to follow up on Simmons' Karma post, I hope Karma comes and fucks the Celtics in the ass. I really hope that the Celtics get one of the first two picks so Simmons can get all hyped for the Oden/Durant era and then turn around and start crying to everyone when they draft Joakim Noah or Mike Conley Jr. But then, as we have learned from Simmons by now, Noah/Conley will become a stud and Simmons will have called it all along and the only reason he thought Durant was so good was because he caught more of those games on the West Coast so couldn't properly evaluate the back-back National Championship winning Noah. So really we are all screwed unless the Sixers somehow get into one of the top 2 picks.
  
  
• Okay thats all I have today except for one last giant FUCK YOU to Clinton Portis. You giant disgrace and pathetic excuse for a human being, I can only wish that you receive a Theismann like leg injury and you are forgotten you bum. Thank god you are too stupid to ever land a sports anchor job.

How We Keep It Real in Hotlanta

It's time to cut Mike Vick loose. Arthur Blank said he's taking a stance against player misconduct this year, and it's time to step up to the plate. I'm sick of this bullshit of letting star players off to do whatever they want. You wanna reform your chain gang of felons Mr. Blank? Well then start with the fucking ringleader.

Mike Vick has flipped off his own fans. It's now blatantly obvious he pulls a Randy Moss too. And he gets off. We were told this was the last straw right? Well now, we find out he's pulling a Cheese, keeping more than 60 dogs on a property he owns, starving them, and forcing them to fight. That is complete bullshit. I have nothing wrong with two grown men beating the everloving piss out of each other, but starving dogs and making them kill for nourishment is fucking criminal. His ass shouldn't just be cut, he should be in fucking jail.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves; he's obviously not going to jail. He probably won't even be cited. He's a star athlete in the prime of his underachieving, overpaid career. Not to mention that he doesn't actually live at this property, he just owns it.

That shouldn't matter, however. The guy is fucking scum, just like his trashy brother. Arthur Blank probably had a heart attack when he heard about this. He probably reached right for his phone to cut this leech on society loose, but then stopped short. "Who would play quarterback? Oh right, I traded our best quarterback to the Texans. Joey Harrington starting? No fucking way! Over my dead, bloated, impotent body!"

So Mike Vick is gonna get off with a slap on the wrist at best. He'll keep thugging it up, ripping bingers and gang raping white women. All I can do is hope and pray that Sergeant Slaughter, I mean, Great Warlord General Goodell will go all righteous on his ass and bring down the hammer of pain and justice like he did to poor, misunderstood Pacman.

Pacman Says He's Sorry

Stupidity is Contagious

Okay, I realize that I'm not pumping out these things like I said I was going to but I'm getting there. Plus the Joo is taking every subject before I even get a chance to write, kind of like a secret scheme to steal the site for himself. Unfortunately for him, I have found a way to rid him of his evil plan. How will I do this you ask? The answer is actually quite simple. I will never sleep and keep constant tabs on ESPN.com therefore taking my pick of the stories before he would ever have the opportunity to take the best subjects. Ever. Or else I guess I could stop being a lazy shit and just write. Whatever, ON WITH THE POST.

As its being reported the Miami Dolphins are really trying to get Trent Green. Are they high? Let's look at the facts, Trent Green is a 36 year old quarterback who is coming off a season where he suffered a concussion that made him miss half of the season. His team played better once his back-up, Damon Huard, started taking the snaps. If they do get Green, they are going to have to pay him starting quarterback money too. How can you commit a minimum of $7 million a year to a 36 year old quarterback who missed most of last season with a concussion?

This all sounds a little familiar though. Last season the Dolphins sign a quarterback who is returning from a major injury. After his back-up took over his team rallied and almost made the playoffs. They signed him to a starting quarterbacks contract. Now, Daunte Culpepper will most likely be traded before the season begins. This team is running in circles with the number of mediocre quarterbacks they have brought in.

Now lets apply logic. Bringing in veterans with an injury history (Culpepper and Green) and letting inexperienced nobodies (A.J. Feeley) doesn't work so what option is left? How about the good old fashioned NFL draft.

Everyone seems to agree that there are two "can't miss" quarterback prospects in this draft and almost every mock draft that I've seen has them going in the top 5. However, many teams in the top 5 are supposedly interested in trading down and the Dolphins would most likely end up giving up a pick in order to bring in Trent Green anyways. So why wouldn't they package their 1st rounder with a couple other later picks and try to trade up to get what could possibly be their quarterback of the future? Maybe that makes too much sense.

I'm making the prediction that if Miami makes this trade and ends up with Trent Green then he will not end up as their starting quarterback the following season.

I also want to address the Charlie Manuel situation. Since I am from the Philadelphia area, I get to hear everyone's take on Manuel's furious argument with WIP sports broadcaster Howard Eskin, and let me say that I am loving every minute of this. Now don't get me wrong, I think Manuel is a completely horrible manager (see Brett Myers getting moved to the bullpen), but I would have loved to see Eskin get his little whiny ass kicked all over the Phillies clubhouse. He is the definition of ignorant combined with the definition of asshole. All he has ever done is trash every Philadelphia team with the exception of the Eagles due to his giant man crush on Andy Reid.

This is how Eskins show can be summed up for the past 5 years:

• Phillies suck, Larry Bowa is too hard on them
• Phillies suck, Charlie Manuel is too soft on them
• 76ers suck, They will never win with Iverson
• 76ers suck, They will never be as good as they were with Iverson
• Flyers suck, Ken Hitchcock's players aren't responding to him
• Flyers suck, Steven's players aren't playing as hard as when Hitchcock was coach.

He seriously contradicts himself on every show and whenever he realizes that there is a caller who has figured him out, he hangs up on him. Hey newsflash Howie, its okay to be wrong. People make mistakes, but calling everyone a moron and hanging up on them because their point is more logical than yours is something only an ignorant asshole would do.

Staying on WIP for a second, lets just say that listening to that station is one of the more enjoyable parts of my day. There is nothing more entertaining than listening to Philly sports fans calling in and crying about not winning a championship in 24 years. The best is during football season, every year there is one guy who swears that this is the Eagles turn to win it all. Then January comes around and the same guy is balling his eyes out into his cell phone on his way to drive himself off a bridge. Absolutely HILARIOUS.

By the way, Manuel will look awesome as the White Sox hitting coach and once again plays the role as Jim Thome's gay lover next season. Also, as one extra input here, fuck the White Sox and fuck Mark Buehrle. Why does shit like this always happen to my team. Oh my God, I sound like a Philly fan. Unlike Philly fans however I'm not going to drive off a bridge.

Anyways, thats all I've got for now but I will be back later on with some more sarcasm and insight.

Let's All Line Up To Fellate Tim Duncan

Tim Duncan is innocent. Tim Duncan is always innocent. He's never done anything wrong; he plays the game the right way, he doesn't talk trash, he doesn't throw teammates under the bus. Everyone loves Tim Duncan. If only every player in the NBA was like Tim Duncan.


Well suck my ass, Tim Duncan. You are a whiny pussy and you need to grow a real set of balls. You are the softest "superstar" in the league. OK, so Joey Crawford has gone somewhat over board in the past. But are we seriously suspending referees indefinitely now? Solely on the word of Tim Duncan? No one knows what was really said between Crawford and Duncan. If Crawford really challenged him to a fight, and Duncan says he would fight him, how come Timmy Boy didn't do anything at the time? He didn't get fired up or challenge Crawford at all. Because Crawford didn't say that, first of all. And because Tim Duncan is like the kid at a frat party who gets all fired up at some other asshole and screams his head off, but always manages to get caught between who he wants to fight and people who are holding him back and never actually throws a punch. He always conveniently is pulled away from the fight that he tried to start, and runs his mouth afterward how he would have kicked ass if he had the chance.

Well, fuck that. Are we really going to suspend a referee without due process or a fair trial for an undeclared period of time based solely on what Tim Duncan says? It's like we're fucking Nazi's and that's complete bullshit. What happened to zero tolerance? What happened to reeling in these cunt bag players who try to upstage refs? All of a sudden because it's Tim Duncan who acted out and ended up on the wrong side of a couple technicals, the policy is at fault? The zero tolerance policy has been too extreme from the start. But it's the policy this year, and suspending a referee for upholding the rules of the league is setting a dangerous precedent. As long as Tim Duncan gets his way like this just because he's the "poster boy" of the NBA, he will never stop whining and generally acting like a little bitch. Stick to the guns you put up Stern. Don't let some sloppy cunt with a bunch of sand in it influence how you run your business.

Nappy Is The New N-Word

I know I may be late to the dance on this one, but whatever.I have another post planned for tomorrow, but I wanted to weigh in quickly on this while I still could. Look, I hate Don Imus. He's an asshole and a racist, and really, a no talent ass clown. And for all those reasons, he deserved to be fired. But for calling Rutgers a bunch of nappy headed hos? Nope. That hardly should have gotten any mention. It wasn't right of him to call them hos, but that wasn't why this firestorm happened. It was the nappy headed part. And really, that part is pretty fucking innocent.

He said that the women (the black women) had thick, coarse hair. That's called nappy. Can you think of one black woman whose hair is not naturally nappy? Yeah, me neither. So what about that is racist? There was a racially based statement - not racially insensitive, but racially based. Calling the Rutgers basketball team nappy headed is a statement of fact. Albeit, a stupid and irrelevant statement of fact, but fact none the less. No different than if he called the US Olympic Swimming team a bunch of straight haired hos. The ho part is certainly offensive, the hair part is not. It's a fact. There was absolutely nothing racist about what Imus said.

I've heard the argument (Stuart Scott) that things like ho and nigger are OK for the black rap community to constantly drop into records because they use them as "terms of endearment." A ho is a hooker, a prostitute, a slut for money no matter how you intend it. You call a woman a ho, that is fucking offensive. I've called girls dirty whores before during sex, it's still offensive. And if the word nigger is so offensive (which it absolutely is), then there is no excuse for a black man to call his friends his niggers. You know what Robert E. Lee called the workers at his farm? His niggers.

It was insensitive to call them hos, but it wasn't insensitivity that cost him his job. For god sakes, there's a rap group that calls themselves "Nappy Roots." Black people have nappy hair. It's not racist to point this out. But our society has become so afraid of offending black people so as not to incur the wrath of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that it almost seems offensive to call a black person black anymore. We strive so hard to show how far we have come from slavery and the era before civil rights that we are ready to crucify anyone who doesn't treat black society like the retarded cousin - treat him like he's a child even though he's 28 years old, and don't mention anything about his illness because it might upset him. And please, I am not saying being black is an illness. But the white media acts like it's something that cannot be mentioned in good sense. They want to label anyone who would call a black man a black man as racist. Being black is a source of pride, and acting like a white person even uttering the fact that a fellow man is black should be punished is insulting to all black people. We treat the subject of black people like it is taboo and should never be brought up in public. That's completely ludicrous.

White America is simply scared of Black America. The white media is so eager to please black people at every turn that they end up looking stupid and ignorant for it. Black America does not need this hand out pity that we constantly feed them. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson only further perpetuate this abomination. There are a lot of black people that agree that Sharpton and Jackson are a plague on their society and are as much a part of the problem as Imus. What Don Imus said was not insensitive to black people, it was insensitive to women. But being a sexist doesn't get you fired. You mention race though, and Reverend Al will put your ass in the stocks. He should be the one fired - he acts like it's a shame to specifically mention the black race in any sense. And that's more racist than anything Don Imus ever said.

And Down Goes Young...

Could there have been worse news? I say nay. Vincent Paul Young, Jr. will be the next great athlete to grace the cover of Madden Football. While he will look great on it, and will no doubt be impossible to stop in the game, his what-once-seemed inevitable rise to the ranks of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game is now seriously in question. While his impending injury should technically only end this coming season, what if he ends up ripping everything that connects his femur to his tibia like Daunte Culpepper did? He may never be the same again. This is a very black day for sports fans everywhere. The most electrifying man in sports today is on a runaway freight train headed towards the land of washed-up quarterbacks.

Let's take a very quick look at the highlights of previous curses:

1. Garrison Hearst (1999) - Broken ankle, out until 2001.
2. Eddie George (2001) - Somewhat of an anomaly, his curse started the year after he appeared, as he never averaged more than 3.4 yards a carry the rest of his career.
3. Duante Culpepper (2002) - Worse statistics than the year before he appeared, became completely useless as an NFL QB after 2005 injury.
4. Marshall Faulk (2003) - Ankle injury, never reached 1,000 yards again.
5. Michael Vick (2004) - Broken leg in preseason, didn't return until Falcons were already eliminated from playoff contention.
6. Ray Lewis (2005) - No interceptions, team went from division winners to missing playoffs, Lewis suffered broken wrist in last game. In 2005, Lewis suffered season ending injury in week 6.
7. Donovan McNabb (2006) - The most painful of them all. After going to the Super Bowl, McNabb gets a sports hernia in week 1. Plays through injury until week 10, when a blatant cheap shot by Roy Williams finally ends his season. Suffers season ending ligament tear against Titans in 2006.
8. Shaun Alexander (2007) - Reigning NFL MVP misses his first game in his seven year career after injuring his foot in week 1 and shutting it down for six weeks after the third game.

That's eight of the last nine years, and seven straight that a Madden cover athlete has had some form of detrimental incident set them back in their careers. Now, I don't believe in superstitions or karma or any of that tribal head shrinking bullshit, but that is a fucking scary history to look at. I mean, just look at the data for a minute! The only cover athlete EVER on Madden that isn't on this list is Barry Sanders, who retired before training camp the same year he was on the cover. So, he probably would have gotten mutilated that year and never walked again. I guess that was a smart move after all. I need to mention, however, that I left Dorsey Levens off, because he appeared the same year as Sanders - but only in Europe and other shitty inferior countries over there. He did, however, only gain 224 yards that year, then bounce around the league without ever again making an impact. So, without further ado, I present to you the odds on Vince Young's forthcoming calamity.

HIV acquired from mother of upcoming bastard child becomes full blown super AIDS - 250-1

Crazed hippie from 'Madden Nation' stabs Young after VY tells him he doesn't love him - 200-1


Broken leg suffered when Lendale White loses footing at buffet table and rolls across room overtop of Young's leg - 100 - 1
Hernia from holding all of Tennessee on his shoulders, Atlas style - 75 - 1

Sliced ankle tendon courtesy of a jilted and envious Matt Leinart - 50 - 1

Stray bullet wound from a night out on the town with good buddy Adam - 35 - 1

Damaged retina when Madden box thrown by fan for Young to sign strikes his eye - 20 - 1

Jacknifed at mid-field by Joey Porter, shattered vertebrae - 8 - 1

Broken collarbone, arm and ribs after being blindsided by a drunken, bored Chris Henry in week six - 3 - 1

Shot to death by Tank Johnson after accidentally "scuffing his kicks" - 3 - 2

Leave your own ideas in the comments.

UPDATE: I made a stupid ass mistake. Roy Williams picked McNabb on his last play of the season, it was Bradie James that laid down the cheap shot.

Roger Clemens : Barry Bonds :: THHY : Greatness

Everyone knows by now what happened today at Virginia Tech. Terrible, terrible news. I have some friends down there, and it sounds like they are all OK. I don't wanna say I'm glad it was no one I know, because that sounds horrible and insensitive to the fact that everyone who was hurt or killed is loved by someone that now feels awful. So I am just thankful that my friends are safe, and my thoughts go out to everyone suffering in anyway from this horrific tragedy.

With that in mind, I must continue with my original intended post. After all, if I was to let this affect the way I would have lived my life before it happened, then I've let the terrorists win. You can just call me Jack Bauer.


I agree with most of the things the Jesus had to say in regards to Barry Bonds - he's an asshole, a liar and a cheat with seemingly no conscious who just happens to be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Sure, his batting statistics are Hall of Fame worthy, but remember, this is a guy that only four years ago became the first and so far only member of the 500 - 500 club when he stole his 500th base. No one else even has 400 HR's and 400 SB's. I don't personally want to see him break the record. If he does, however, I don't want to see the accomplishment cheapened in the media by the steroids allegations. It's not fair to play down his accomplishments based on speculation and because the man isn't well liked. I just want to see him blow out his knee for good so everyone can forget about him.

I bring that up so that I can move onto my next point - why does Roger Clemens get to skate by without anyone in the media so much as batting an eye? Everyone knows he got hit in the Grimsley fallout last year, so the idea was out there. But it was gone in a week. So let's break it all down. He follows the same arc that Bonds did. He was always an amazing player, he put up astonishing statistics, and as far as anyone could tell, he wasn't that great a person. I mean, he stabbed two different AL East teams right in the back. He signed with Toronto (after four mediocre years in Boston lowered his value), as Boston was trying to lock him into a deal to retire as a Red Sock. After being traded to New York and winning a few titles, he decided to retire. Only, instead of retiring, he returned the next year for his hometown Astros because they wouldn't make him travel with the team when he wasn't pitching. He even claimed that during the World Baseball Classic last year all the dry cleaners were closed because the Japanese and Koreans were at the games. That one sure didn't blow up like Don Imus' ho comment did it? What a stand up guy. He just embodies the values of team spirit, loyalty and responsibility doesn't he. Great role model.

Barry Bonds came under the scrutiny of suspicious writers when his numbers (and his head and neck) erupted around the age of 40. He no longer was a speedy guy who could steal bases and still hit for power. He became a ball mashing monster who drew intentional walks in record numbers because it seemed any ball thrown within ten feet of the plate was going into the Cove. He also drew scrutiny for the fact that he was able to remain fairly healthy even as he grew older. One of the benefits of steroids is that they allow aging athletes to prevent injuries, making them more durable. Remember, you don't hit 73 runs if your missing games with groin pulls or elbow strains.

Roger Clemens' last two years in New York featured ERA's of 4.35 and 3.91, respectively. Far from amazing numbers. His next year, the first in Houston, saw Roger improve to a 2.98 ERA. That's an entire run a game improvement. The next year, however, he posted a 1.87 ERA. The only other time he was below the two run a game mark was 1990, when he was 27 and had one of the best seasons of his career. This doesn't correlate at all with Bonds' rise? And speaking of durable, he started 32 games that year. He missed a late September start with a strained hamstring, but it took him three games of pitching through the injury before he finally sat down to take a start off.

I bring all this up because of an article blurb I read this morning at Ben Maller's rumor page. In light of pitching staff injuries to two of the three suitors vying to overpay enough to earn the Rocket's services this season, the issue was raised of whether he would speed up his decision process in order to help whatever team he ends up on stay afloat. His response, via agent Randy Hendricks, was simple: "Nothing is moving up our timetable." Just another classic example of the true asshole that is Roger Clemens. Why should he adjust so that he can help a team reach his ultimate goal of winning another World Series? No, he's just going to hold teams - only three teams, he won't even acknowledge any other ones - over the barrel for as much money as he can possibly squeeze out of one more year. Last year, he signed to the tune of 22 large. That's a hefty price to pay for a pitcher who won't even start pitching in the bigs until sometime in June. But of course, none of that matters - he has no responsibility to whichever team he ends up on, or to his teammates. The only responsibility is for said team to bring the Rocket his next title.

When you break it down, Bonds and Clemens are both bona fide legends whose numbers dipped somewhat as their careers dragged on. They both had a resurgence as they neared their 40th birthdays to put up astonishing stats, as well as surprising durability (save for Bonds' injury lost 2005, from which he seems to have bounced back pretty well from, considering he could hardly walk last year.) Both have been linked to steroids rings. And as everyone knows, both are complete dickheads. So why is all the shit heaped on Bonds while Clemens comes out smelling like roses? It's complete bullshit and I just don't get it. I don't see any more redeeming qualities in Clemens then I do in Bonds. This seems the perfect set up to play the race card, but I refuse to believe in that because the American public is too smart to racially profile against athletes in such an extreme manner. I refuse to accept it when another writer uses it, and I will never argue it myself because it's lazy writing; it's an uncreative tool used to stir up shit by people who can't form a real, solid argument. As for my argument in this matter, I don't have one. I see no excuse for the disparity of shit throwing concerning these two cock suckers. So if anyone has any ideas, please enlighten me. I'll appreciate it.

Awakened by Atlantic City

Unfortunately for myself I have finally awoken from my giant sex-coma, it was quite glorious. However, since I am alive again, I figured I might go ahead and give you guys some intelligent sports insight unlike the Joo's Penthouse Forums that have gone up lately. Personally I dont care who the hell he bangs or how he does it, unless she's fat cause then he's gonna catch some shit. But at least it was better than NASCAR.

Here's a quick fill-in of what happened with me during my absence- Florida, Coaching, Swim Meet, Family, Easter, Home, Atlantic City, Gambling, Third Eye Blind, Gays.

The first six aren't really worth mentioning but I had a fucking great time in Atlantic City. I saw the Third Eye Blind concert at the House of Blues which is in the Showboat Casino below.

Now I realize that Third Eye Blind is kind of a girly band but I know that you have memorized the words to Jumper or Semi-Charmed Life so you are just as gay as I am. I was a little nervous about them putting on a shitty show because I heard they sucked live but the concert was actually pretty good. The most surprising thing was actually the large gay crowd that was in attendance. Dont get me wrong if you like it in the butt I'm not knocking you, but I found it a little disturbing when I saw two guys holding hands and getting close to each other during a song called Deep Inside of You. Let's just say that was a little awkward. The only other disappointment was being right in behind two dumbass girls who were trying to mosh to Third Eye Blind. I was about to take my $12 Red Bull and Vodka and slam it straight in their face but then I realized that I paid $12 for a Red Bull and Vodka and I would rather drink it. Damn they were annoying, I would feel bad for their parents but they're probably fucked up individuals as well.

After that I realized that I spent like $50 on drinks during the concert and I only had like $30 left so I made a bee-line to the penny slots with the old people. I still made a little bit of money on those and attempted to graduate to the Quarter Slots, lets just say I was broke pretty quickly. After that I swung by the Hard Rock to get some of those kick-ass Nachos and then drove all the way back home. Good time though.

Jumping over to sports now, Happy J-Rob day to you. I think its a good idea and definitly a classy move that teams like the Dodgers and Phillies decided to wear the number 42 in his honor today. However I also think that it was a horrible move for other teams such as the Padres who chose not to honor him and did not wear his number. This should have been a great day for baseball but unfortunately a lot of games were rained out today, but at least the Dodgers played. Speaking of the Dodgers and Padres, during the 4th inning ESPN had Hank Aaron visit in the booth and talk baseball with Joe Morgan and Jon Miller for a little while. I was surprised that nobody even adressed the Barry Bonds issue to see how he feels or at least would react, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were not allowed to ask him about that. This made me think about how he would feel about Bonds breaking the record. I know that he had a quote a few years ago that went along the lines of saying "No one has ever proved that steroids make it easier to hit a baseball", but he has to realize that it helps to hit the ball farther.

Personally I kind of hope that Bonds breaks the record and I don't think there should be an asterisk or anything else put next to his numbers. The fact is that steroids were not illegal to the game of baseball when Bonds has been known to take them and since they were made illegal he hasn't failed a drug test. SO WHAT HAS HE DONE WRONG. Everyone is going to say that it was a question about ethics, but no the fuck it's not. He didn't do anything illegal, unethical or different than a large number of other players in the league. Everyone is just being ridiculous and does not want to see an unfriendly asshole take the record away from the classiest guy to play in the league. I like Hank Aaron the athlete and the person a million times better than I like Barry Bonds, but you can't deny him the record because he isn't a nice guy.

One more thing about steroids, for all you people who think that Bonds taking steroids has made it easier to break the record, realize that pitchers take steroids too. You don't face pitchers throwing fast-balls in the low 90's, just about every pitcher comes into the league throwing 95 miles an hour and most end up pitching only about 1 inning a game. Bonds faces teams that feature specialized bullpens, harder-throwing pitchers, teams that pitch around him every chance they get. It really takes away from not only Bonds, but all of today's players when you say that the game is easier now than it was in the past. If we keep this up then we will not see another great player, because everyones greatness is going to be questioned. Maybe we just need time to pass for us to realize how great an achievement this is, steroids or not.

On to some football, I can not describe how happy I am that Pac-Man Jones and Chris Henry got their ass-kicked on their suspensions (the season for Jones and 8 games for Henry). I also think they should be forced to return part of their signing bonus because they royally screwed their teams for this coming season. Its good to see that Roger Goodell has balls and will step up to a couple of clowns who run around starting trouble in almost every situation. Now dont misinterpret me because I'm no saint, but there is a difference between doing something stupid every now and then as compared to acting stupid on a consistent basis. Henry and Jones are this generations Lawrence Phillips, good players who will never reach their potential because of off-field issues.

As for the draft, I hope the Raiders are smart enough to draft Brady Quinn over Jamarcus Russell. Nothing against him personally, but being a SEC fan I've never been very impressed with Russell. He was shut down against the two toughest defenses he saw last season (Florida and Auburn) and really only stepped it up in the past couple games. Yes he is a physical freak of nature and potentially can be a great, but If I had the pick I would look towards someone who has already been playing in an NFL type system and has been under the spotlight for his entire collegiate career. Whichever stud prospect the Raiders go with will be a good decision, neither one is a Ryan Leaf.

By the way did you guys know that Ryan Leaf is now a quarterbacks coach as well as a golf coach at West Texas A&M? Could you really let yourself be coached by Ryan Leaf? That would be weird. Check out the picture, that is the classic look of washed up pro spending way too many lonely nights at the bar.

That all I have for now but expect me to be back to the normal posting patterns and allow yourself to be entertained.
