Thew gets busy too

Work. Kids. Life changes. Home Improvements. With a "honey-do" list as long as my rap sheet, it'll never end. Siiiiigh...

Lessee, what's been happening. Oh yeah, Clarett. Asswipe. Ooooo, STUPID asswipe. I have rarely in my life hoped for someone to fail miserably, but he made the list. And it's happening. Justice is done. Cripes, as long as you have a slim jim at the 40 yard line, even Tilam would beat a 4.72! That's good for 3rd place in a race with a pregnant woman. Tom Friend from ESPN the Magazine wrote a sympathetic article...another asswipe who is coddling the first one. I got it, let's enable excuses for Clarett so that he can get drafted ahead of some other good quality guy. PUHLEEZE... Yes, Clarett is a wasted talent, but he wasted it himself, no one else wasted it for him. No sympathy here.

John Chaney, you can take the man out of the ghetto... And you know what, this will be his legacy, NOT his coaching record. What a shame. What an idiot. Is this what we've come down to in sports society today? Is this what it means to "take matters into our own hands"? How can a man like Chaney, which a history of class, dignity, and discipline, order a "hit" on an opposing player? Take my word, we are going to see more fights in other sports as players solve differences using their fists instead of their talent - punching a guy in the face is far better than scoring 50 on him. Who needs hockey fights, just turn on your local sporting event.

Kobe is gonna pay off the chick who accused him of sexual assault. Wow, looks like he IS like Shaq, only Shaq has the brains to handle his business on the low-low. Shaq has the brains...never thought I'd say that.

Vivian Stringer and Rutgers - you are the class of the Big East. The UCONN women are beatable, but never underestimate them. But a hearty congratulations to the Scarlet Knights on their Big East title.

Vikings traded Randy Moss to GUESS WHO, the Raiders. That's a place where Randy can be Randy and stink it up on the field and be immature and leave early and dog it on off plays and act like an idiot and...well, you get the drift.

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Andersen Match Play golf tournament. Toms was incredible, plunking his approach shots an average of 5'5" from the stick on the back nine on Sunday. Poor DiMarco never had a chance, and even though he didn't play THAT great, Toms was da man. What a tournament, what a format, what a bonanza for golfers and golf fans. And speaking of golfers, Thew posted a 1 over par 73 last Saturday. No, no mulligans. Yes, for 18 holes at a regulation course. Missed an 8 footer for par out of the sand trap on the 17th hole. ARGH!

College Football scandal time! WOO! University of Colorado football players sexually assaulted female trainers, thousands of dollars from coach Gary Barnett's camp were funneled into a slush fund, typical Colorado day. Kudo's to Steve Spurrier at USC for dismissing one of his thugs, the leading rusher no less; for a violation of team rules. WAY TO GO STEVE!

MLB is back in town. WOO WOO! March madness arrives soon after championship week. WOO WOO WOO! Spring comes, hope dawns eternal. Yankees-Boston again. Will Beltran prove he's worth the money? Pedro too? Steroid testing going to have any teeth? Will Jason Giambi be a player worth even 100K a year, since he sucked so bad last year even when he played? Ken Giffey Jr hurt, say it isn't so! Oh wait, the guy with the gimpiest legs in baseball is "recovering" from yet another leg injury (torn hammy). Talk about talent unfulfilled. How will the Big Unit do in the Bronx? Hey, did you notice that the SF Giants trainer is named Conte? How ironic! The Red Sox are insulting A-Rod, saying he's "not a Yankee". Before a pitch is even thrown! I do think that A-Rod needs a little lesson in "being a Yankee", but he'll learn.

Oh, and THIS one is rich! New York attorney Kerry Konrad won the right in an eBay auction to name Boston's FleetCenter for a day. For his $2,325, Konrad wanted to honor the New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. But, on Friday, FleetCenter officials rejected the name, which Konrad hoped would add to the 25-year rivalry he has had with his former college classmates who are Boston Red Sox fans. "We decided that all the names had to be rated G, and this name was determined to be obscene and vulgar," said Richard A. Krezwick, president and chief executive of the FleetCenter. I tell ya, there is NO BETTER RIVALRY in sports than Yankees-Red Sox.

Countdown to May 19th for TILAM. Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith is out. Watch for him to twitch more as the date approaches. :)
