Well its been a long few weeks for those of us following the news (for the record any news) so a little return to Cheers and Jeers is in order. Since its been such a long week a Happy Hour is needed. I don't know who coined the phrase Happy Hour, I can only assume it was someone living in NYC or DC and was tired about the sardine like conditions if one tried hitting the bars in the evening. Sure drinking is nice but not if the place is so packed that you have to rotate your head to avoid it being stuck in someone's arm pit. So without further ado a little Cheering and Jeering
Quote of the Day:
Jon Stewart: So no one's going to be held accountable for this at all?
Ed Helms: No. In fact, if history is any indication, they'll be hard-pressed finding enough medals to pin on these guys. My sources tell me the head of FEMA will be dipped in bronze and turned into an award to be given to other officials.
Cheers : To Andre Agassi, the ageless wonder. Playing tennis at his age would like playing basketball at age 50. For those old school fans this is like the last of hurrah of Jimmy Connors. Or that time Tara Reid exposed her breast on the walkway. Wait its nothing like the Tara Reid incident.
Jeers : To the any of the PUNDITS who claim that Notre Dame is some elite program. It WAS an elite program. Over the past 10 years over a 1/4 of all Division I football programs have been ranked in the top 10 at the end of the year. Notre Dame is not one of those teams. You wouldn't say if Detroit Lions made the playoffs that it was a return to glory (for the record the Lions were one of the most dominating NFL teams...it just happened in the 1950s) so don't say Notre Dame is returning to glory and certainly don't show Touchdown Jesus until THEY ACTUALLY WIN SOMETHING.
Cheers: Baseball this weekend. Yanks v. Red Sox. Tribe v. Twins. A's v. a long line at the Taco Bell Drive-Thru. I'm going on record here that if the Yanks can beat up on the Red Sox they are in the playoffs. The Yanks have this easiest schedule after this weekend of any of the Wild Card chasers.
Cheers: To Texas v. OSU. The most hyped non-conference game in a long long time. Hopefully it will be a good one. Getting into this game is going to be harder than Courtney Love staying sober. OSU D v. Vincent Young's legs. Teddie Ginn Jr. v. The Flash (I think Texas recruited Wally West). Jim Tressel's sweatervest v. Mac Brown's color by numbers pad. Bring it!
Jeers: To Trev Albert for quitting ESPN's Gameday. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to miss Trev's fawning over Big 12 football or his feeble attempts at holding his own against people armed with literacy or facts. I'm jeering because how stupid/egotistical do you have to be to quit a sports analysts job. You comment on football. How hard could it be?
Question of the Day:
Who would win in a fight assuming neither side started with any type of weapon. A caveman or an astronaut?
