- What should be done with Michael Vick? Really, this guy disgusts me. I've had several thoughts on how he should be handled that aren't fit for print, but suffice to say they involve treatments not dissimilar from how he and his punk buddies treated the dogs. If I were running the NFL (feel free to nominate me!), I'd be preparing the paperwork for a lifetime ban from the game. If he's convicted (for what it is worth, the Feds have never lost a case of this nature), this should be a foregone conclusion. If I'm the Falcons (PLEASE don't nominate me to run them!), I'm cutting him loose now. Distance yourself from this thug as soon as possible. Maybe Michael can bunk with his brother.
- The British Open has been interesting already!!! First we have Gary Player stating that there are golfers out there on steriods or HGH or whatever. Good times! Then Big John Daly eagles the 11th, takes sole posession of the lead at 5 under, and promptly falls apart to close with a 3-over 74. I love this, I could probably shoot 8 over for 7 holes too! And then we have Sergio Garcia shooting a 65. Does anybody...anybody not see a 75 on his card coming? Watch for Tiger to shoot about a 66 or 67 today and slowly work his way to the top of the leader board by the end of play Saturday. His 3-peat is as good as gold. And yes, I know he's +2 after 1 hole. I stand by my statements. Oh and by the way, the European press is apparently having a field day with the ruling Tiger got on the ball by the TV cables. Must suck to know you won't have a Champion of your own to write about.
- Is Asante Samuel the stupidest man in America? Dude, you made $700K last year! Sign the friggin' tender offer already! Seriously, somebody offers you $7 million plus to show up to work for 20-25 weeks and you say NO?!?!?!?!? Wouldn't anybody like to be paid the average of the Top 5 Highest Paid Persons performing the same basic job you have? If he holds out till Week 10, I hope (and believe) Belichick lets him ride pine for the rest of the season. If Mike Vick weren't a lock for the Stupid Loser of the Year Award, Samuel would have to be considered a front-runner.
- OK, I know that yesterday I went on about how the Boston Red Sox were fine, and I still believe it. But dammit man, we need to get a few breaks. We seem unable to hit with runners in scoring position. You can see the frustration starting to set in. They know they are better than this. WE know they are better than this, but please let the Baseball Gods smile on us a few times over this weekend. There's a third of the season left...that's a lot of baseball. In 2004, we had a similar mid-season lull and we all know how that turned out. I'm sick of the panic talk, I'm tired of "oh no, here come the Yankees". I've told you all before that the Yankees can't take down the Sox this season. Only the Sox can take themselves down. We just need a little kick in the ass. A game where it all seems easy and these guys remember why they are arguably the best team in baseball. Let's turn things around this weekend boys, swing for the fences! Side note: I'm starting to believe Theo will make a trade before the deadline. I don't know who, but can I implore the Front Office to make sure Wily Mo goes as a part of it?
- Hey, apparently the FBI is investigating an NBA referee for gambling on games, including those he officiated. Anybody else hoping they find out that he bet against the Celtics a lot and David Stern demands that as compensation, Portland has to give us Greg Oden? Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
That's all I've got for today folks. Raise a pint and toast the Baseball Gods, let's give the Sox a few lucky breaks this weekend. Till the next time...
