Why I Don’t Love Mayo

From the time that the Timberwolves chose Kevin Love over O.J. Mayo, the critics have been slamming the choice.  There is a lot of sentiment for why Mayo is the best rookie in the league
this year, but I just don’t see it.  Before I get to my reasons why I’m not a big fan of [...]

Meet the New Auto Czar

Here’s my background for why I should get this gig.

I have owned cars.
Both my grandpa’s and my dad were UAW members.
/li>
I drive a shitload because of my job.
None of the politicians have stated what needs to be done.

Now that I got that out of the way, I will outline my plan of attack.
My first duty [...]

Why Andy Roddick is the Definition of a Winner

This decade has not been a glorious time for men tennis in this country.  After having a run of great American players like Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, and Pete Sampras, it has been since 2003 when an American player won a major tournament.
A lot of Americans blame this major championship drought on Andy [...]

Is Jay Cutler the New Jeff George?

To be an NFL quarterback you need to believe your ass don’t smell. Or maybe that should read
shit don’t stink.  Look, I’ve never completely understood the analogy, but I think you get the point.  Quarterback is a confidence game and you have to inspire your teammates to believe you are the fucking man! Yeah!  Which [...]

Dubya to Throw the First Pitch for Rangers

Haven’t Rangers fans suffered enough?  Yeah, I know it’s an easy topic, but come on.  The guy was the worst President of my lifetime.  Was one of the worst team presidents.  Why do this to the people of Arlington?  Sure, he won’t be much worse than what the Rangers usually put up on the mound, [...]

Checking My NCAA Tourney Work

Each year I rank the best and worst among the top 14 seeds.  Let’s check and see how I did.
14 seed Best: North Dakota State  Worst: American
I was right on about Ben Woodside and his team.  All of the other 3 were pretty much weak.
13 seed Best: Cleveland State  Worst: Portland St.  (Wake Forest is [...]

The Penicillin Needed for Our Diseased Economy

I hear politicians claiming that nothing is off the table for discussion when it comes to helping turn our economy around.  Then I read stories like this about some Houston madam being busted for helping men get their salami slam on.
With two locations, several Web sites, dozens of apparently satisfied employees and perhaps thousands of [...]

Rating American Idol’s Final 10

Let’s begin by mentioning that this is easily the deepest talent pool the show has ever had.  During
last season, eventual winner David Cook was the best performer almost every week.  This year almost everyone in the top 10 you can see having a recording contract.  Jordan Sparks would finish about 6th among this year’s participants.  [...]

Top Tourney Seeds Broken Down

Outside of a few exceptions, the NCAA tourney committee did a good job of seeding the

tourney.  I would probably have put  San Diego State in over Arizona, but since the Cats actually beat them in a head-to-head, plus they are more dangerous, I don’t have a big problem with the choice.  While the Big East [...]

Where I’ve Been

Over the past few days there has been a fucking paucity (I like the way those 2 words sound together) of offerings by me.  Well, I’ve been busy cramming for my NCAA tourney brackets and doing a lot of working out.  Below is my step aerobic class. (Unfortunately, there has been no cramming at my [...]
