Mid-Week News

* Note: All posts will be list format until I get my computer back. I can't try to type paragraphs without a g, h, or backspace key. It is driving me insane as it is. So get used to it kids.

- Tedy Bruschi may sit out next season for medical reasons. READ: Tedy, stay home! Seriously, don't even think about playing if they tell you it is risky. You almost died once, don't go for two. You had a stroke for Chrissake! You will lose your salary if you fail your physical, take the money and run.

- Tedy Bruschi may sit out next season for medical reasons. OH SHIT! The Patriots are losing Tedy too, the list of players lost off the Super Bowl team is getting awfully long and is becoming more distinguished. Get well Tedy, get well now! We need your crazy ass. (Sorry I guess I'm a little divided on this one.)

- Pat Summitt, the Tennessee women's basketball coach passed Dean Smith's mark for career wins in Division I last night with win number 880. The university responded by remaning the court, "The Summitt". (This IS sexist just warning you). I DON'T CARE!! I DON'T CARE AT ALL!!! I CARE ABOUT THE WESTMINSTER KENNELL CLUB DOG SHOW MORE THAN I CARE ABOUT THIS!!!! There is absolutely no comparison between the men's and women's college games. Dean Smith won 879 games in the ACC, the toughest conference in the country. The men's game is infinitely deeper than the women's. Every team has a stud and truly, just ask Kansas, anyone can win at any time. On the women's side the same 5 schools get all the top recruits because there is a huge gap between the stars and the utility players. As a result there is rarely a big upset in the early rounds of the tournament or anytime for that matter. Look at the scores from this past weekend, many of the games were decided by 30+. Pat Summitt achieving this feat is the equivalent of Dean Smith winning 880 games with NBA players while competeing in the WAC. Her longevity is impressive and her ability to recruit is astounding but don't get confused, Smith's 879 is a far more impressive number. Let her get to 1000 then we'll talk.

- The NFL season will open in Foxboro on September 8th, on ABC, with the champs taking on the Raiders. Proving that in fact the NFL is the most hypocritical organization on the planet. "We disapprove or Randy Moss' antics and he is bad for football,".... "Now, what will get us the biggest possible ratings opening night... Seems unfair to send Peyton to the woodshed again, can't send the Steelers on the road week one, hmmm... I got it! Let's send the walking, limping, fake mooning circus side-show of the NFL up there to start the year on a unsportsmanlike note, everyone will eat it up! We can do an opening 'Good Guy's / Bad Guy's' montage, it'll be like West Side Story!"

- Barry Bond's says he might hang it up, and that he's physcially and mentally exhausted. He says the media had been trying to hurt him forever, and that now they have finally done it. Does anyone actually buy this crap? Barry, the media attacks you because you are a reclusive asshole who imtimidates everyone with the dreaded race card, atagonizes reporters for doing their job, not to mention EVERYONE KNOWS YOU TOOK STEROIDS! I don't have the smallest iota of pity in my heart for Bonds, nor should anyone else. The media didn't hurt your knee, you did. You're 40 years old, your body breaks down especially when you precipitate it with steroid use. We didn't make your kids cry, you did when you cheated and you got caught. If you played by the rules you would have been a first ballot hall of fame inductee, now you will forever be the face of the asterix era. Stop bitching and moaning because no one feels bad for you you big baby.

- Somehow Lebron got his coach fired by dropping 56 the other night, maybe it was a bet. Owner: "Hey James, betcha Silas' job you don't drop 50+ tonight." Lebron: "You're on you crazy bastard."

- Bob Knight has already managed to make himself a bigger story than Texas Tech's sweet sixteen berth by blasting Mike Davis and the rest of Indiana saying, among other things that he was about to fire Davis before he himself was fired. What an asshole, he should be glorifying his players achievements not using the fact that he has finally accomplished something post-Indiana as an excuse to seek self-satisfaction by blasting his former employer and sucessor thereby turning the spotlight directly on himself . I would never play for him. You didn't hear Belichick after the Super Bowl saying, "You know it was a great team win...and I just want to say FUCK YOU CLEVELAND, look at me now bitches!"

Go UW-Milwaukee!!! Panther Pride!!!......PITTSNOGLE!!

Ok, I forgot my login . . . this is Jack.

Reclusive is not the word I would use to describe Bonds. This has always been my problem with him is that he's not reclusive. He loves the spotlight. This media put down shit is garbage because he's got to be the most arrogant guy out there always begging for the spotlight. And for him to be getting his son in just about every media shot now is ridiculous. That's what really makes him a villain, he didn't just cheat, he cheated and referred to himself like he was a god.

PS- Hey Barry! In case your doc actually believes you're not steroids, here's why your leg's not healing: steroid causes huge loses in bone density and with your oversized muscles nothing is going to set in your leg.

PPS- I don't honestly believe that his leg still hurts . . . does anyone else? It's the athlete's cop out. I might have a bad showing at this game or I did have a bad showing at this game = It's that Tropical knee disease creeping up again!
