Warning: NASCAR POST
I know i have not posted about NASCAR in a while but here the thing. I still love watching and i love the sport. But ever since i was thrown from contension in the pool i am in i have been angry watching it on T.V. I have an outside chance at some money if at the start of the race Gordon takes out smoke, JJ, Budwiser and the Robot in the 1st lap, Mark Martin forgets he was supposto race this week and Reed Sorensen misses the race because State farm canceled his insurance. Basically i have not a chance in hell, but doesn't mean i can not root for "the big one" to happen in the 1st lap?
Besides after the big announcement that Jr. was going to Hendrick nothing exciting has happened. The only driver worth watching is Montoya to see who he will take out next. How boring has it gotten?
JJ and Jeff Gordon are still winning (yawn)
Delana Harvick has not once been mentioned in the power ranking for not taking off her hat.
Matt Kenseth robot is still finishing in the top 10.
The gatorade commercial still make me cringe.....
Clint Boyer still looks like he's pissed of at everyone.
Jr is still the most popular driver. (and had a hell of a run the last 6 races)
I have not broken one t.v. this year watching the races.
Smoke and Kyle have not had words with each other in over a month.
The most i can hope for this week is that Fed-X capolitized on Denny's win last week with a new commercial. We need a center of the track beef. Tony's gotta be angry at someone right? Someone tell him that Kyle Busch peed on him lunch or something. Can we get Casey Mears and Juam Pablo to duke it out in the octigon with Joe Rogan announcing? Right off turn #2 would be good.
Michael Vick's house raided, again.
Question, what are they hoping to find this time they did not the 1st? They should up this morning with 20 cars, 2 u-haul trucks. I'm suprised the did not call in the dogs. (Bad Joke. Bad, Bad Joke). Now, if i'm Vick, and if there was anything (I mean ANYTHING) left in that house that would incriminate me i would have had it out of there by now. I would have hired one of those mission impossible guys to go threw the house and get ride of all my stuff. Tracking.......
In other "dumb ass football players police blotter news"
Tank Johnson will not be charged with DUI in Arizona. (suprise! His BAC was only .071) But it is know that the bears will release him as soon as his suspension is done.
RIP to Avery Atkins.
Another tragic waste to a teriffic collage player. A projected starting cornerback for the gators in 2007 until domestic voilence charges were filed agenst him in last 2006. He was again arrested on monday for posession of crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and a conceled weapon.
NHL
Jeremy Roenick retires from Arizona. He remonds me of hockeys version of Curt Schilling. Good player, big mouth and will probley wind up in a broadcast booth when his playing days are done.
We'll see...........
Hasek resignes with the Wings. Good move he's a solid goalie when he is propetly motivated. (thanslation he's gonna suck this year because he got a 2 year contract.)
Cycling....
Does anyone know the Tour de Steroids is starting? I only do because my dealer told me he's gonna be out of town for a week or so.
NBA
Kobe apoligizes to Kupchak. This is why he will never, EVER, win another championship unless someone else carries his ass to one. The next time you see Kupchak and Kobe's wife they will each be carring one of his balls each. Kupchap beacuse of the amount of money he's paying him there was no way he could ever let Kobe get away with what he did and not apologize. He wife because no way in HELL she's leaving LA. She can put up with him cheating, but NO WAY she's moving.
And my favorite subject MLB
Last night CC Sabathis vs. Verlander was supposto be a pitchers dual. Verlander was dealing, CC was ducking. CC would have been better off pitching underhand the was Detroit was teeing of last night. And to watch Verlander throw his breaking ball was out of this world. I think he broke about 4 batters knee;s yesterday from buckeling so hard. By the way how big is CC? 280? 300? but he's still the best hitting pitcher in baseball next to Bronson Arroyo who....
helped himself to a win by out homering Barry Bonds. I now truley beleive that last vs last place are the best games in baseball. The Giants Reds game last night was trutl entertaining.
Okajima (red sox) and Young (padres) round out the all stars. I thing both deserve it, although you could aslo say that about a ton of other players (sheffield, Roland, Renteria, Chipper, Andrew, Milkie, Caberia, ect, ect). If they want ot get everyone in the game who deserves it set up a 75 man roster for each team. You play till you hit, then your done. Pitchers get one inning, PERIOD. And you have 20 players from each league who "almost made it" sitting in the stands right behind the dougout in case the game goes to extra innings. You start you at bat 2 and 1. If you walk, your our of the game. After all this is still a game, right?
It happens to be my favorite game but there are soo many imperfections (like my spelling) that sometimes it ruins the game. Remember last year when Kenny Rogers was mowing down the yankees? That was a perfect game (if you were a Tigers fan). Why do we ruin the game with things like "pitch counts". In Kenny's game i do not care if he was 90 years old and had thrown 400 pitches. If he still had gas and control of his pitches i would have left him in there till his arm fell off. (Leland did). That's how the game should be managed and played. But in todays game it seams the highest player get the most face time instead of the hottest hand getting the call. (ask ther Yankee's minor league pitching staff).
That concludes today rant.
