So there is some noteworthy stuff to chat about today...
Michael Vick gave the entire Georgia Dome the finger after being booed while walking off the field after the Falcon's 4th straight loss (to the Saints). Of course he apologized for it, and I'm sure it was borne of a great deal of frustration, but let's be honest - VICK SUX! Okay, maybe not "SUX", but he isn't an NFL quarterback, when are people going to realize that? I bitch about Michael Vick almost as much as I laugh at Michelle Wie; the guy is a phenomenal athlete with blazing speed, but he's NOT a quarterback. Now, it's important to mention that his receivers have hands of stone, but still, he is NOT the solution to Atlanta's future, regardless of how much marketing and fan appeal he has. But now we are seeing the issue - when the pressure is on, and Vick tries to be a quarterback of the traditional type. bad things happen...
Oh Ben Roethlisberger, how far have you fallen my friend...
HERE is a discussion that will prove interesting, not only between TILAM and I, but around water coolers and board rooms across the country...the MLB Hall of Fame candidates have been announced. And you guessed it, Big Mac is on the list. Mark McGwire is one of the higher profile players up for consideration, but certainly one of the most controversial...there are a TON of players who should get serious consideration, but I'm not convinced there are more than a few "oh yeah, this guy should be in the hall". Cal Ripken, Jr, is a sure bet imo. Same for Tony Gwynn, a consummate hitter if there ever was one despite his doughboy frame (e tu John Kruk?). But I see no real sure fire players from among the list after those two. Big Mac should be evaluated on his merits (which are pretty good) and NOT on the steroid rumors (hey, I did a cycle of Andro and put on 10 pounds with serious exercise and diet) even though I'd give it 60% chance that he probably did them. Other people who are going to get serious consideration are: Lee Smith, Jim Rice, Dave Parker, Jack Morris, Don Mattingly, Goose Gossage, Steve Garvey, and Orel Hershiser, some of whom are not on their first ballot, btw. I don't see anyone else from the list getting inducted. TILAM?
USC whooped up on Notre Dame. It was a great game but I don't think it was as close as the score would indicate, even though they won by 20 points. :)
Well, I guess there's nothing else in the world worth noting...Thew out.
