Cheers and Jeers: Potato Vodka Edition

Well the Adkins holiday known as Passover has hit Cheers and Jeers. Its that time of year when all the Jews get really cranky by not eating leavened foods to symbolize what life was like in the desert. Its sucks, there is sand everywhere, and it takes forty years apparently for the Children of Israel to reach the Promised land (which I think is just a fancy way of saying they were really really constipated). Nonetheless Cheers and Jeers was smart enough to store away one of the few tasty beveridges allowed during this time of year: potato vodka. Its a strong drink, it'll clear you out and leave you hollow inside as Lt. Frank Drebin would say.

Cheers: To The Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them. No, not Donald Rumseld (well him too) but NFL executives during the last two weeks before the draft. In fake outs that make the flea-flicker look like child's play, NFL teams pay thousands of dollars to fly in people they have no intention drafting. Then they call John Clayton and say they are really going to do X (I assume X is typically leave a flaming bag of poop on Al Davis' front porch). Don't believe the lies. Seriously if I even believed half of what ESPN prints I'd think that the Dolphins are currently interested in signing every free agent remaining.

Cheers: Apparently federal investigators are checking out Barry Bonds for perjury. Honestly it might the simplest way for Baseball to get rid of their Barry problem (i.e. using the federales as the hatchet man). George Mitchell isn't bringing down Barry and pretty soon Barry will update his venom regiment to resemble Bane (see upper right corner for current picture of Barry) which just won't be good for anyone.

Jeers: The CNNSI curse. Well the Cleveland Indians finally moved to the number one spot on the cnnsi rankings and as soon they did the team drops two straight. The bullpen (which I've been worried about) is handing out walks left and right. Pitching staffs should be like Vegas (no free passes and you have to pay extra to leave with a smile).

Jeers: To the NBA playoffs first round. Has anyone seen the games expected to be played in the first round for the Eastern Conference? There will be at least 3 teams with below .500 records. Thats worse than the NHL level of crap teams in the playoffs. There should be official laws against teams below .500 making the playoffs in any sport. There should also be laws stipulating that I get access to quality frozen custard every 6 months.
