Cheers and Jeers: Hurricane Edition

Dear Mother Nature,
Alright we get it. Your bad. You can move around our sports games and cancel our Mexican resort trips. You win. As the power vested in me by the board of trustees of the Back Seat Drivers I'm willing to negotiate a cease fire. We give you the state of Florida, some halloween candy (the good stuff not the candy corn), and two tickets to the Rolling Stones concert and in exchange you not wipe us out.

Quote of the Week: "Over the weekend at one of the games---Houston and St. Louis---one of the camera men caught former President Bush and his wife Barbara Bush kissing. Y'know, by god, you know you're at a dull game when you'd rather make out with Barbara Bush."--David Letterman

Cheers - To Publius. Our star reporter is down in Florida working away at a conference. Also Back Seat Drivers has entrusted him to be our weatherman to cover the hurricane. I still can't figure out why a weatherman's duties includes standing out in 100+ mph winds.

Cheers - The rumor that Larry Bowa could join the Yankees. I have no idea nor particularly care if Bowa could help the Yanks win but just think of the potential fights Bowa and Steinbrenner could have. Mt. Steinbrenner has been off game lately and possibly an addition of "Terets" Bowa could help return some of the edge. Heck I'd pay to see that pay per view fight.

Jeers - To the Big 12. Come on. The toughest Big 12 opponent you can give Texas is Texas Tech? You got to be kidding. Texas Tech has earned its undefeated record by winning the Battle of the Reality Stars and thats about it. They're going to be buried by Vince Young paving the way for another Big 12 team heading to the championship game. Yawn.

Jeers- To the Cardinals offense. That was embaressing. They didn't particurarly hit well against San Diego and against Houston they flailed around like an old lady doing laps at a pool. This team is going to have large makeover this off-season, lots of new faces, and lots of money going to spent. Time for Walter Jockey to earn his money

Belated Cheers - To Midnight Madness. With North Carolina's top 8 scorers gone, we will see a new champ. I'm not usually a praying man, but if your out there, please don't let it be Duke, Superman.

Cheers - To Fitzmas . It could be the most wonderful time of year . The mysterious and remote Patrick Fitzgerald, flies in his magic sled from Chicago to Washington handing out presents and indictments. Have you been a good boy, Karl?

A final Cheer - To the soon to be imploded Busch stadium. Those of us that lived in Saint Louis have fond memories of the stadium. Personally I loved Busch. Nearly all of the seats were good seats, the beer was tasty, the crowd friendly and loud, and I have many good memories of laughing with friends in that place. Goodbye Busch, you'll be missed.
