Was it a Blue Moon last night?

I was right...about Randy Moss. The same old million dollar athlete with the five cent head. And that's from a Vikings fan. But wait, I think he DOES get it to a degree. When asked about his 10K fine (predicted by me) he said "ain't nuthin but 10 grand. what's 10 grand to me? ain't *bleep*". So he dumps the money into the NFL coffers and laughs in their face, as I stated. It was worth it to him to give the Green Bay fans something back. He also said "next time I might shake my *bleep*". ROFL. Does the NFL really think he's going to do it? Of course he won't. He's just trying to talk smack and get a rise out of people. And from the looks of the article on ESPN.com, he succeeded.

Michelle Wie is 9 shots back of the lead, and probably needs to go red to the tune of 5 under or so to get back to even par and make the cut. I like Michelle Wie. She's humble, optimistic, but truthfully, I think that overpowering the shorter LPGA courses with her game is nothing like the men's tracks. 500 yard par 4's? You never see those on the LPGA tour - not that you should, or not that you won't in the future, just that you don't now, and Michelle, even with her game, isn't used to that. She's handling all the pub and scrutiny with grace, but at this moment she's in over her head. PLUS, she doesn't deserve an exemption based on the fact that she's won absolutely nothing on the LPGA tour. Two words...Annika. We're hopeful for her, but truthfully, she's just fan draw.

Vijay was his usual mysoginistic(sp) self. After the flak he took for disparaging Annika, he said the same type of anti-female comment again yesterday, but has learned to make it better..."it was hard hitting every shot - the drive, the approach, the putt was difficult. it's tough for the boys over here, you know? going to be tough for a girl here, too" I officially hate Vijay. I will officially root for him to plunk his every shot in the hazard. To 3 jack. To chunk his chips. He's SUCH a damm chauvanist. EVERY golfer who's played with Michelle (and Annika) have had great things to say about them, what has he done? Ignored them, rooted against them openly, and been a general all around asshole.

In the STUPID ASSHOLE athlete department. Sorry, assholes, plural. "The U.S. Soccer Federation said Thursday it will start to recruit a replacement team for next month's World Cup qualifier if a players union dispute is not quickly resolved." WHAT THE HELL?! Soccer in this country ranks only slightly above hockey, if even that, and on the world's MOST IMPORTANT soccer tournament, they are considering striking?! You are kidding me...oh my gosh, selfish assholedness among all paid athletes is an epidemic.

But you already knew that...
