So it's been a while since the last post, but I promise I wasn't just being lazy. I'm now married, live in a new house, and have a new dog. But I'm back and I have some stuff to discuss. Some of it I like and some of it has really been burning my ass. Which would you like to hear first? Let's go with some good stuff.
A-Roid hit his 600th homerun, which is not a good thing. The fact that no one cared is. I hate this dude for two reasons. One, he was self-admittedly at one time a cheater which has to tarnish his power numbers, and two he's a Yankee which makes him undoubtedly one of the 25 biggest douches in baseball. He ranks in the top two on my list.
Roger Clemens is going to go to jail. Let me say this first, I used to love the Rocket, then came the whole Yankee thing. Are you starting to see a trend of the guys I don't like? Same story as above, he cheated and his numbers are seen as B.S. now. Well he says he didn't cheat but he's the only one who believes that. Either way, seems like the government and supreme court should have more important stuff to do. Like, I don't know, ANYTHING!
Terrelle Pryor is apparently favorite for the Heisman. Can I be the first to ask why? This dude has been as consistent as Zach Duke in his first two years. One good Rose Bowl game makes him the favorite? Lest we forget his five completion performance in last year's loss to Purdue. He's mediocre, period. If he plays well, the Buckeyes should win the Big Ten and then get smoked in a bowl game. Same old story. But Pryor isn't winning the Heisman.
I'm tired of Boise State. You play a garbage schedule and feel entitled to go to the National Championship because you're undefeated. Just shut up. You play one decent game and 12 cupcakes, get over it. You're probably not even one of the ten best teams in the country. All the good teams are in the major conferences and beat on each other. So you have an undefeated record against San Jose State and Wyoming, powerhouses indeed. Your biggest rival is Idaho for God's sake. Get over yourselves. Your the best team in a bad conference. Oh and get rid of the blue turf. You wanna play big boy football with everyone else then lose the gimmicks.
Why are they trying to take Reggie Bush's Heisman? His parents are the ones that screwed up and that doesn't change the fact that he was by far the best player on the field in '04. Does the fact that his parents took cash make Vince Young deserving? Absolutely not. Bottom line is Reggie Bush could screw defenders into the ground when he was poor too.
A new thing that I have decided I hate is the term "body of work". Brett Favre shouldn't get out of training camp just because he's old, no matter what his "body of work" says. I also don't like how it only applies to certain guys. No one wants to talk about the "body of work" for Manny Ramirez, and that's sad. He's one of the greatest right handed hitters of all time. He was an absolute RBI machine, hit for power to all fields and was one of the most clutch players in the game through the 2000's and all anyone wants to talk about is his behavior. He's been a pain in the ass for 20 years and everyone knows that. I bet you knew that when you signed him too.
And finally, the thing I am most sick of... The New York Jets. Has any team in the history of the NFL been more overrated going into a season. This is a team who was 7-7 going into the final two weeks of the season last year and ran into a gift. The Bengals and Colts were both resting their starters and the Jets got lucky and snuck into the playoffs. Now they're the AFC favorites in some people's eyes. These people better give whatever the're smoking back to Santonio. Mark Sanchez is not even in the top half as far as the best QBs in the league. Oh yeah, the best cornerback in football is holding out too. Mark my words, the Jets aren'g going to the Super Bowl. They might not even make the playoffs. All they have going is Hard Knocks, and that's only entertaining because I get to watch Rex Ryan's fat ass waddle around with a pocket full of m&m's and drof F-bombs all day. I can't wait til they start getting pounded and Sanchez gets picked more than Snoop Dogg's afro.
