And I know you miss me, Tilam Blog Fan.
Keep on holding out, Reggie Bush. The NFL wants to see that you are just like every other spoiled, self-centered, draft pick who considers yourself above the game and team.
I CANNOT love the AL East enough. Even though I hate Boston, I'm a huge fan of the greatest rivalry in sports, the Sawx-Yanks. Yankees are riding some timely and good pitching and some solid offense (even A-Clod is hitting a few here and there, albeit with his bat and not with the heel of his glove or foot while fielding) to climb back within 1 1/2 games of the leading Sawx, and to the top of the Wild Card race. But you gotta also be a fan of the AL Central, where the Twinkies have clawed and scratched their way into a tie for the division lead. I love dis game!
So Greg Anderson would rather go to jail than testify that Bonds took steroids. I'm a little torn here...torn because I admire the loyalty of a lifelong friend to stick by his buddy and stay loyal to him, but also torn because this is a truth that really NEEDS to be validated. Who in the world doesn't suspect Bonds of taking steroids? Okay, aside from some aborigine in the outback, who? This is an intersting case because it's really no longer about whether he took steroids (he did), but ultimately whether he KNOWINGLY took steroids, and whether he lied to the Grand Jury about that fact. Oh, and tax evasion. The key here is proof, and the simple fact that Anderson refuses to testify is a really smoking gun indicating that he doesn't want to admit that Bonds KNEW he was taking steroids. We already know that Anderson gave Bonds steroids, and that Anderson was completely in on this, we are just trying to find out if Barry knew. And remember, this is bigger than just some guy juicing it - it's about some guy who broke hallowed baseball records after doing so. Bud Selig (the idiot) is worried about tarnishing the legacy of baseball and the fact that one of the most popular and most exciting records in baseball is under scrutiny here. Bad Mojo...
Interesting note...Al Capone was arrested on tax evasion, not on any of the OTHER stuff he did.
It seems that Tiger and Annika are talking smack back and forth. Tiger now has the lead now, 11-10. I wonder what he texted to her on Sunday, since Annika said "it was a smart ass comment, but warranted". Hmmm...
Danica Patrick is staying in the IRL, which is good. But her contract is up, and she ultimately defected to Andretti-Green racing from the Rahal-Letterman team. Ultimately, this is a good and positive move for her, to the winningest team in IndyCar, and really cements her potential to claim a podium within a year. She'll have the biggest and best equipment on the best team for next year. But expectations will be HIGH for her...she better produce soon or else interest will wane and the sport will again retreat to the darkest recesses of fandom. She has, rightly or wrongly, been annointed the saviour of the sport, her looks and personality and ability really capturing our eye and interests...but now, with the best team, it's time to put up or shut up. If her equipment is the best in the business, she has no more excuses NOT to win...
Charles Barkley, the Round Mound of Rebound, the Gov of Alabama? This is truly a sign of the apocalypse!
Andrea Yates...I teeter back and forth at the tragedy and absurdity of this. Andrea Yates' acquittal means she won't spend her life in prison for the bathtub drownings of her children, but she will be committed to a state mental hospital until she is deemed "no longer a threat". A threat to whom? Her five young children? Too late for that... But on the other hand, she is clearly mentally ill, and needs to be taken care of in an institution built for that purpose. Frankly, to even remotely consider the fact that she is NOT insane and maliciously drowned her FIVE children, one at a time, takes me to a place where I really don't want to go...
*** And lastly, in the "best laid plans of mice and men" category, pity poor Adam Sutton... ***
A plane that was chartered to help a man propose to his girlfriend crashed, injuring the couple and the pilot, authorities said. Relatives holding a sheet with "Erica, will you marry me?" painted on it watched from the ground as the Cessna 127, circling low over the airport, stalled and then crashed into the ground Friday evening.
The couple, Adam Sutton and Erica Brussee, and the pilot were taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, authorities said. Brussee suffered a broken leg, and the other two had cuts and gashes.
As Brussee was loaded into the ambulance, she said "Tell Adam I said yes," said Joshua Willis, Sutton's cousin. The ring was lost in the wreckage, he said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident.
One wonders if they are investigating the crash or the fact that the crazy woman said "yes" after almost being killed! :)
