Barry Bonds = the reason Baseball has become a joke. Busted again!

Category: Sports | Leave a Comment

I grew up a huge Baseball fan…nothing came between me and baseball. Up until 2003 I was still a major fan, although McGwire and Sosa had left a lot of true fans with bad tastes in their mouths.

Barry Bonds has failed another test … this time for Amphetamines in which he then blamed on Mark Sweeney. Why not? people seem to believe him and George Bush more than facts anyways …

You can read more about Baseballs reason for failure right here.

I just find it AMAZING that Pete Rose can’t make it into the Hall Of Fame because he GAMBLED. But Barry Bonds is able to break REAL RECORDS while under the influence of Illegal Narcotics?

Amazing … truly Amazing. The guy, at the least, should be in jail right now. Darryl Strawberry was busted for coke … so was Dwight Gooden and many others who spent time in Prison. So, why should Barry Bonds be given so many extra chances?

I hope Baseball finally hits rock bottom. I mean guys getting paid $20 Million a year for hitting 30 home runs and batting .289 while on Steroids is a joke.

R.I.P. Chris Brown And Jose Uribe

Category: Sports | Leave a Comment

I just found out that ex-Padre and Giant Chris Brown died in a house fire about a week and a half ago … not sure how I just now found this out.

In 1987 I attended a Fantasy Baseball camp to meet several of my favorite players, Eric Davis, Darryl Strawberry and Chris Brown. Mookie Wilson and several others showed up as well. It was one of the most memorable experiences in my life and it turned me into one of the biggest baseball fans ever- up until McGwire broke the homerun records. Now baseball is just a joke but those memories will forever last…thanks to guys like Chris Brown; may he rest in peace.

After reading about Chris Browns death, I also learned that Jose Uribe was killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Jose Uribe was always a funny name to me (not to be disrespectful, though) because at the time when he was popular - La Bamba was still a popular movie…and if you remember the lyrics - you could see how a kid would think it’s funny. He was a great and very underrated shortstop, though.

2 deaths in December for the Giants, very sad.

Boise State should be ranked #1!

Yeah, I know…they’re not in the BCS blah blah.

If you watched them vs. Oklahoma last night — you would have seen the BEST team in College Football, without a doubt. Maybe they were mediocre versus other teams, maybe not. But from the way they played last night — they were the BEST team I’ve watched in years, to be honest. Sure, Oklahoma could have won several times but guess what? Boise State did NOT let that stop them. They took advantage of those situations.

Even in Overtime they didn’t give up…most teams, even some of the best teams (ahem, Oklahoma) would have given up at this point.

I know a lot of Ohio State or Florida fans would disagree but…well…Ohio State is not as good as Oklahoma. Florida should have lost to South Carolina.

Next?

Boise State is UNDEFEATED. PERIOD. And they took out a team that REALLY lost ONLY ONE TIME this year (Oregon was a joke, even Oregon fans know they lost that game. Thanks to the Portland Referee!) and the other loss was versus Texas, who, at the time, was a very strong team.

The Boise State Coach and players should be congratulating themselves for months years to come. They were supposed to get blown out…but that was FAR from the truth.

This Oklahoma team was very strong. Again, I do believe they should have lost, if it weren’t for terrible play calling by Bob Stoops, but they WON fair and square. Coaching mistakes happen…there was no Referees getting in the way this time. The only person who got in the way was Oklahoma’s coach.

Congratulations to Boise State! The BEST TEAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

Darrent Williams Murdered

If any of you watch NFL Football or are Oklahoma State fans, you probably know Darrent Williams. He was one of the best Corners in Football… and last night he was murdered in a Drive-by shooting while leaving a Night club after New Years.

Pretty sad…I just watched the Broncos get beat by the 49ers last night and was excited because the Chiefs get to go to the Playoffs now. I remember him leaving the game too…but he had two pretty good returns on the day. Sure is sad…he had a lot of talent and fans, among all of his family and friends.

This Week In Football: USC goes Down, Vanderjagt released, Florida gets BCS Championship game

Category: Sports | Leave a Comment

Wow, I love Football. A whole week of upsets and close calls. Gotta love it!

Okay so A) most people know I hate USC. I can’t stand rich kids (University of Spoiled Children) and well…I believe they get away with too much from the NCAA. I find it amazing that half their good players were NOT rich kids and yet still roll in a Benz? Reggie Bush, anyone?

New BCS Rankings…ughhh it hurts to look!

So USC has stepped up to Number 2 as they defeated Notre Dame last night. What a horrible game that was…

What I still don’t understand is why Florida would be ranked number 4, still. Sorry Florida fans but your team lost to Auburn who got rocked by Arkansas who got upset by LSU who is ranked behind you with a better record…phewww.

Troy Smith Does NOT Deserve The Heisman

I can’t believe people hype up someone who TOOK MONEY in College and was busted for it…

Honestly, I can’t even understand why he’s PLAYING right now? Oklahoma completely dropped their Starting Quarterback Rhett Bomar at the beginning of the year for doing Far less than Troy Smith did.

Now why would the NCAA even allow this guy to be nominated, much less have a chance at winning this prestigious award?

Apparently there’s others who feel the same way but it sucks to know that this guy WILL win - when he clearly DOES NOT deserve the award.

Didn’t we already go through this crap with USC recently, Oklahoma in the late 80’s and Miami for so many years? Yeah, all teams do it but few actually punish their players. Oklahoma kicked off their STARTING QB and lost all hope for a National Championship and also left their teams future questionable without a QB next year. Yet Ohio State fans continue to say “he got punished, let it go”. Of course, that’s their team!

Tressel should have kicked Smith off of the team - NOT suspend him for two games. The NCAA needs to start taking more action with this stuff… a few of the Heisman Winners lately have been bad choices for every young athlete who who is told to follow the rules.

Geico Top Ten Running Backs Of All Time

So I was watching the Texas vs. Texas A&M game waiting for the Arkansas vs. LSU game to come on and I got bored… so I checked what was on CBS and I seen this show called “Top Ten Running backs of All Time”.

At first it was cool… until the top two were:

1) Tony Dorsett (rated #1 of all time)

2) Herschel Walker

Wow… there was no Barry Sanders, Billy Sims, Earl Campbell, Marcus Dupree, Marshall Faulk and all the other greats?

What a terrible overall list… I’m not saying these guys don’t deserve to be listed but there’s just too many GREAT running backs to put some of these guys so high up there as College Greats. From what I’ve heard - Tony Dorsett played against Oklahoma Sooners and racked up 17 total yards in the game? Hmmm… Some people have bad games but very, very few get that low.

Current College Football Rankings

I know, I know… people always want to bitch about the College Rankings! But how come Florida is ranked so high? I can see Ohio State (although I don’t think they’re as good as they show) and Michigan (they’ll beat OSU) are number 1 and 2 but Florida is #3 on both the AP and USA polls… this is crazy.

College Football … Ohio State vs. Michigan, Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech

There’s going to be alot of great games this weekend but the two big games I’ll be watching are:

Michigan vs. Ohio State: I’m rooting for Michigan and believe they’ll win this game pretty easy. I’m not an Ohio State fan and I truly believe that they’re way over rated this year. I think their QB is decent, if that, and should NOT even get 10% of the credit that he gets… but who am I? Just a disappointed fan who believes Heisman Trophies are given to the wrong people 75% of the time ;)

I think Chad Henne is a REAL QB with Solid skills and deserves ALOT more Heisman talk than the OSU QB … I don’t even want to say the guys name, he doesn’t deserve the media! Although I’m not a Michigan fan - I’ll definitely be rooting for them.

We know Ohio State Fans “you beat Texas this year”… great, you beat a team who lost half their National Championship players and have a True Freshman QB in his first College game, congratulations… … seriously… it’s like USC beating Arkansas in the first game of the season. It wouldn’t happen the same way with the teams they have now so GET OVER IT! Oregon beat Oklahoma too! HAHA! Thanks to the ref from Portland! Yeah, they caught ya buddy ;)
Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech: This game might not be big to some people but hey the Big 12 is full of great teams who play for the love of the game and I believe the Big 12 is STILL the strongest conference BY FAR. Oklahoma State has some future NFL Players and they’ve produced NFL greats such as: Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, Hart Lee Dykes, Tatum Bell, etc., etc. so they’re always fun to watch!

Texas Tech on the other hand has always been known for it’s High Yardage QB’s who constantly make the Heisman watch but somehow never win. Either way - this should be a great game and I can’t wait until they start!

Is Reggie Bush as big of a hype as I knew he’d be?

Check the stats… So far Bush has been stopped easily in the NFL. The Texas Longhorns showed that he wasn’t unstoppable in the National Championship and now he’s playing against a less lopsided group of great athletes, each and every day.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to bash Bush by stating that he didn’t deserve the hype in College. He was an excellent player. Maybe not a Marcus DuPree — but they hype seems familiar. ;-)

Oh yeah… The Cardinals won the World Series.

I guess it slipped by me somehow. Baseball is just plain boring and full of crap lately so I didn’t watch anything the entire season this year. What’s the point? There’s no more real players it seems… shoot, even The “Rocket” is being accused of Steroid abuse and I believe it’s true. Why shouldn’t I? Everyone else is doing it so it only means guys like him will try to keep up with the league.

How would it help a pitcher? Velocity, duh.

So yeah… there you have it: Cardinals are the 2006 World Champs. Barry Bonds has pumped his muscles full of illegal drugs for an easier way towards the Record books and Bud Selig is slightly richer each year.

Pretty lame if you ask me.

Sooners vs. Colorado

Well, it wasn’t the prettiest win but it was a win, none the less! Oklahoma won their first game without their Star Running Back - Adrian Peterson (out for the remainder of the season with a Broken Collar bone … will probably be gone forever after this season ;)).

I’d like to see Gutierrez (sp?) get more time in the next few games. They guy just deserves it! Hopefully they stop using him the way they did tonight and just “let ‘em run!”.

Nothing special about the win but atleast they tacked on one more W!

So the Kansas City Chiefs win 2 in a row!

While the game started out really, really shaky - the Chiefs ended up winning 23-20 yesterday versus the Arizona Cardinals. I knew Matt Leinart would be pretty good in the Pros but I figured he would fail miserably in the first few games.

Well… that didn’t exactly happen yesterday as he connected for a BOMB yesterday in the first few minutes of the game.

Luckily the Chiefs put a stop to it! Hopefully they can atleast finish the season above 500. With Trent Green out I just have very little faith in the Chiefs right now as a team. Great players but talent on a team is useless without chemistry!

The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback

I’ve never really paid attention to “The Ultimate Fighter” on Spike TV before because…well… basically I never believed 90% of these guys REALLY wanted to fight in the Octagon.

But season 4 is by far the best Season and definately a great one to watch. You got guys like Matt Serra, Mikey Burnett, Shonie Carter, Pete Sell, Patrick Cote, Pete Spratt, Jorge Rivera, etc, etc. all of these guys WANT IT - and have proven that over the many years in UFC. These guys are pure fighters who have put in their time in the Gym AND the Octagon. I remember Mikey Burnett and he was definately someone to watch then and I truly believe he will finish his comeback strong as long as he doesn’t let his personal demons get the best of him.

I like watching guys like Matt Serra because the guy has so much heart and he’s just a damn good fighter… Pete Spratt will definately be someone to watch as well. He needs to work on his ground work but he’s a good fighter too.

There’s just so many solid fighters in this. 99% of these guys can do some damage in the ring with ANY fighter out there. I think there’s one or two questionable guys but overall the guys did a great job getting this season together. It’s a shame I got into it a little late.

If you haven’t watched The Ultimate Fighter — you should definately catch it on Thursday nights. You can visit the Official Site here.
