Hey all its Thursday and its been a loooong week for lots of people so I figure a little cheers and jeers is in order (with a shameless ripoff off of billinportland from dailykos) . Without further ado
Quotes of the day:
Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.
Dave Barry
"The media are making the Plame case far too complicated. Bush can no more fire Rove than dummy Charlie McCarthy could fire ventriloquist Edgar Bergen."
Cheers
To Gutsy who's taking some super tough patent law exam tommorow. Good luck Gutsy. Remember if you hit any troubles immediately DDT your proctor.
Jeers
TO returning to the practice field. Eagles should put him in a meat locker or something. Its literally like watching a small child that didn't get to play with the flintstone phone. Sure everyone likes the Flintstone phone but if I didn't get it I wouldn't ignore my QB or whine that my coach had a potty mouth or whatever it is TO complains about if he doesn't get a nap with milk and cookies.
Jeers
To the daily quikie and Dan Shanoff. I know it MJ's department to bash the hell out of this guy but here's the catch...if you have a national perch (even if it is ESPN) try at least to mask your biases. Yes I know Shanoff is wetting himself with the idea that the Yanks won't make the playoffs. I'm not saying the Yanks WILL make the playoffs but they are 1 and 1/2 games out of the Wild Card with just about everyone else in the hunt slipping up. If somebody is going to get into the playoffs out of the NL West then its assuredly possibly that even imperfect teams like the Yanks could slip in.
Cheers
To getting in a little more golf before labor day kicks in and time on the green goes bye-bye. I enjoy the calmness of envisioning myself hit a nice shot straight. I like imagining sinking a 12 foot putt. I like the fact that there are lots of places to store the bodies of people in my way when I go into a TO like rage after shanking a drive.
Cheers
To Bob Taft, governor of Ohio, being indicted on 4 misdemeanor counts for ethics violations. Always nice to see a governor of a state have to enter a plea in court while he/she is still SITTING in office. Way to go Bob. How does this relate to sports? Taft is in trouble for receiving free games of golf and his great-grandfather (William Taft) was the first modern President to play golf while in office.
Jeers
Baltimore Ravens. On general principal. I hate them sooo much. If anyone deserved a swirly its Brian Billick.

A few more cheers and jeers from me...
Cheers to Mighty Mike for suggesting a swirly for Brian Billick. That guy sucks.
Cheers to Gutsy on his test. Good luck on that.
Jeers to the Yanks. You ought to have more pride. I'm ashamed of you right now.
Jeers to teams with "Sox" in their name. I honestly hope both franchises spontaneously combust tomorrow morning. I'd love it if I woke up and saw ESPN reporting that David Ortiz, Kevin Millar, Trot Nixon, Curt Schilling, Carl Everett, Jermaine Dye and Dustin Hermanson were caught with cocaine, heroin, guns, child pornography and steroids in their luggage. I hope they rot in prison/hell/Kansas City for life.
Believe it, baby. Sad but true.
Plame quote was from a letter to editor in Time Magazine following their story on Rove.
I guess being in Kansas City really is a fate worse than death.
Thanks for all the cheers guys. I can't believe my personal life made the blog... it brings a tear to my eye...
Anyway, all I have to say is cheers to Cavs GM Danny Ferry. Its been a successful summer, and he deserves a shoutout. I'd buy Danny a drink if he was willing to listen to my theory of "why the Cavs would win the 2007 NBA Championship by signing Brevin Knight."
