Well we're getting close to All Hallow's Ever which means I'm scaring myself silly watching crappy horror flicks while Hart is currently living his worst nightmare (Chicago White Sox World Series t-shirts being sold a block from Wrigley). That said time for a little cheering and jeering....
Jeers - Once again to Mother Nature. The East Coast is being hammered by cold, wet remnants of several hurricanes while Florida has yet to recover from said aforementioned hurricane. My guess is that Mother Nature dislikes football players doing nutshots. A few weeks ago a Patriots lineman had a straight punch to the jewels. Last week an alumni of University of Miami also had a haymaker to the breadbasket. Outcome horrible horrible weather. My theory only holds for NFL players not professional wrestlers. Rick Flair's lowblows were poetry in motion, matched only by Fred Blitenekoff catches or Jackie Robinson running the bases.
Cheers - To killing two birds with one stone I could never figure out why FOX had that stupid Scooter animation explaining pitches. I could never figure out why Tim McCarver still had a job. Luckily Fox put two and two together and had Scooter explain why McCarver hadn't been fired. Check the link for the full story but the short answer "I don't have a fucking clue"
Cheers- To Sheryl Swoops for coming out of the closet. Not really since the early 1970s have athletes, especially male athletes, taken politically or sociall controversial positions (at least not conciously). Without getting into an argument over social responsibility I think its applaudable that Swoops has the courage to be true to who she is. Same goes for George "Sulu" Takei.
Jeers - To Duke being ranked #1 in the first NCAA basketball poll of the year. Sure they have 4 returning starters. But its Duke! Unfortunately UConn has all of its point guards in jail and Texas players are busy studying in attempt to determine where practice is held. Get it together guys, please don't let Duke win the Championship.
Cheers- To me making crazy predictions. I'm going with the Spurs to repeat. I have McGrady as the MVP and Raymond Felton as Rookie of the year (although I think crazy enough Charlie "Caveman lawyer" Villueneva will make a push). Andrew Bogut will be voted worst draft pick of the year. And he'll cry. And then I'll laugh.
Jeers - To MLB not having the authority to end the World Series early. If anything has ever needed euthanasia it was that series. I begged for that plug to be pulled.
Jeers - To the recent Forbes magazine who gave out advice on how to take out blogs and why blogs were so evil. Some choice quotes include:
Web logs are the prize platform of an online lynch mob spouting liberty but spewing lies, libel and invective.
Bloggers are more of a threat than people realize, and they are only going to get more toxic. This is the new reality."
">Good thing Back Seat Drivers is an online magazine otherwise I couldn't say that the person who wrote that is nothing more than an autistic fascist monkey.
