Current Mood: Happy

Derrick Thomas…Hall of Fame. Sounds good. DT was/is my favorite player of all time. He should’ve been a first ballot Hall of Famer, no question. There was no linebacker more feared in his generation. Owns 2 of the 4 top single game sack totals, including 7 against Seattle. I don’t think the Chiefs had that many combined this year. If recently de-throned King Carl speaks at his induction, that bastard better keep it focused on DT, and not himself. Congrats DT, you deserve it!

Rejoice! Herm Edwards has been fired…finally. Bad news, the Chiefs are possibly looking at Chan Gailey as a replacement. Which would just be going from bad to worse. Former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is apparently another we’re looking at. I’m not so sure about that, though if anyone can right the sinking ship that is Larry Johnson, it’s Shanahan. As long as we don’t hire Gailey things can only get better.

Well, it looks to be another loooong year for Chiefs fans. Croyle is one of the softest quarterbacks I’ve ever seen. Of course he’s not helped by our piss poor line.

Dwayne Bowe is NOT a number 1 receiver. No real number 1 receiver drops 4 fuckin’ passes. And if said number 1 receiver does drop 4 passes, he doesn’t give an interview after the game and nonchalantly say “he played OK.” He should be pissed at himself. Let us know how he’ll never let that happen again. But no, he’s apparently comfortable at being a failure. Well there’s no wonder Carl Peterson likes him so. Peas in a pod. What are we in now? Year 19 of his 3 year plan?

The defense looks pretty good however. Not impressed by our new middle linebacker, but liking our secondary…for the most part. Our d-line is a work in progress.

Only real bright spot was Jamaal Charles and the ever steady Tony G. Larry Johnson just isn’t what he used to be and that worries me, but we’re stacked at that position so not a big worry.

With all that said, at least we’re not the Raiders…HA!

See that image above. That is one of the greatest pictures ever. Ranking up there with my ultimate picture. Which is when Tommie Smith and John Carlos raise fists for Black Power in 1968 at the Olympic games.

I know, you’re thinking, why is the above picture so great? And I’ll tell ya…be a pointless post if I didn’t. Well, as you can see, two teammates are clearly carrying a player of the opposite team. Noble in it’s own right, but not worthy of being called “one of the greatest pictures ever”. The reason it’s so awesome is the girl being carried, senior Sara Tucholsky, just homered on the other team. Her first homerun ever. Well while rounding the bases, in her excitement, she missed first base. So as she turned around to touch first base she tweaked her knee bad. Due to a rule in baseball/softball, if a player homers and can’t round the bases for whatever reason, it goes down as a single. Her teammates cannot help her round the bases neither. In an awesome moment of sportsmanship, the other team carried her around the bases so she was credited for a home run. Awesome!

Here’s a link to an article with the full story.
A Sporting Gesture Touches ’Em All

Current Mood: Chill

Well the draft has come and gone and I’m pretty happy with how things went down. Chiefs really scored with their first 4 picks. Would’ve liked to have seen them take at least one offensive lineman with one of their third round picks. But can’t complain when we get possibly the best player in the draft in Glenn Dorsey and an offensive lineman who may be the steal of the draft in Branden Albert. Follow that up with the hard hitting Brandon Flowers out of VT, and the fast as all hell Jamaal Charles and I actually look forward to next year…unfortunately Herm will almost guaranteed ruin all chances at a respectable season. Fuckin’ Herm.

Roger Clemens keeps digging himself deeper and deeper. Apparently he had a 10 year affair with Oxycontin spokeswoman, convict, and part-time country singer Mindy McCready. Which apparently began when she was only 15. I guess he never heard the saying “15 will get you 20″. He went by the motto, “Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed”. Of course he “flatly denied” all accusations through his lawyer. Which of course comes on the heels of him “flatly denying” his use of performance enhancing drugs. Unfortunately for him Mindy McCready today denied nothing, and all but confirmed the affair. Clemens, grade A douche bag.

The Orlando Magic won their first playoff series since 1996, and it’s about time. After Shaq and Penny left the Magic way back when, I quit the sport for about 10 years, so I missed all of their struggles and just came back to Basketball this year. Them winning…Coincidence?…I think not! Side note: Dwight Howard is the Bomb Diggity yo! Averaging 21pts and 18 boards in the series.

My other team, the Braves, not fairing as well. Tom Glavine on the DL for the first time in his long career(he is back today however), Mike Hampton’s 20 million a year fragile ass, Smoltzies shoulder acting up, Mike Gonzalez still out, our most consistent reliever Peter Moylan on the 15 day DL, and our Closer also on the 15 day DL makes for a bad patchwork pitching staff.

Then you got Chipper Jones and Yunel Escobar playing hurt. Only bright spot thus far is Jurrjens is pitching really well. Hopefully things get turned around but I’m not optimistic. Side note: Braves need more TV time…fuckin’ TBS!

Spoiler alert for Allen…

Jon Fitch vs Chris Wilson – A close fight without a lot of action. Fitch wins via unanimous decision.

Yushin Okami vs Evan Tanner – I was rooting for Evan Tanner but knew it wasn’t likely to happen. Tanner’s been out of the game for 2 years, soul searching…and by soul searching, I mean drinking lots of beer and posting crazy drunken ramblings on his myspace blog. Okami finished it with a huge knee, knocking out the madman of Vegas.

Chris Leben vs Alessio Sakara – I hate Leben, but I hope he continues to win if only to get a rematch versus Silva and to be ultimately dismantled. Leben wins via wild brawling KO…decent match.

Heath Herring vs Cheick Kongo – Great first round, with some surprisingly good jiu jitsu by both men. Then round 2 came and we were subjected to Herring in side control hitting about 30 knees to Kongo’s side. Kongo…did nothing. 3rd round was more of the same only Herring hit about 50 knees to Kongo’s side. Some retard judge actually had Kongo winning the fight. Herring wins via split decision.

Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson – The only reason I purchased the PPV. Silva is slowly rising to God like status. I really though Hendo had a chance, and after the first round I was even more convinced…then Silva lands a big knee, gets back control and that’s all she wrote as Silva slaps on a rear naked choke forcing Hendo to tap. Silva is unbeatable. Fucking awesome.

Got one bonus fight and it was fucking great. Josh Koscheck vs. Dustin Hazelett – Koscheck landed a big bomb KO’ing Hazelett. It was a fun fight.

I submersed myself in reality tv today. Got caught up on Celebrity Rehab. Anybody runnin’ a pool on who will actually stay sober? I say it’s a clean sweep…and none of ‘em do. I like Mary Carey, but I don’t think she has a chance. I say Chyna’s dead by 2009 whether it be suicide or accidental OD. Ricco’s still a fuckin scumbag. If I had to bet, I’d put my money on Shifty…maybe Brigitte. Jaimee Foxworth is gonna get bombed out of her mind within a week. Jessica Sierra is a toss up. I’m leaning towards relapse, but then cleans her act up. It sure as hell doesn’t look promising for any of ‘em.

Also watched the BBC’s Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares. Not much commentary, other than the owner being a loser. Kudos to the head chef for being a stand-up guy willing to help troubled youth.

I just deleted my DVR recording of My Fair Brady. There are no redeeming qualities to that show. I’m ashamed for ever watching it. Just total crap.

Watched America’s Best Dance Crew Saturday or so. Again, I think the JabbaWockeeZ did the best in actually following the guidelines. I really liked Status Quo and Kaba Modern as well. I never liked Live in Color. Same thing every fricken’ week. BreakSk8 was kinda just there. And nobody really cares what Fysh N Chicks did. I’ll be shocked if they last another week.

Side note: Jayhawks killin’ Texas Tech…woohoo!

Current Mood: Frustrated

He dominated the slam dunk contest. I told all ya’ll(Allen), he was the truth! He had three craaaaazy dunks. His Superman dunk had me rollin’! Just good shit all around.

As for the rest of the festivities…
Dwyane Wade’s a bitch. That was a sad, pathetic showing. Kapono is awesome. Never seen him play, might have to check ‘em out…but then I’d have to watch the Raptors. He can flat stroke it.

Best part of the show was EASILY Charles Barkley talking/commentating/rambling. He had me laughin’ so fuckin hard my jaws were starting to hurt. Good time’s, good time’s. “There is a titty out there!”

Kansas went down today to number 11 Texas. They were HORRIBLE in the second half. Could not hit a jumper to save their lives. Chalmers was the only thing keeping us in it with his dribble penetration. Was just ugly. Rush needs to learn better shot selection. He just be throwing shit up.

That is all…I’m disgusted

NFC won the Pro Bowl…yaaaaawn

The greatest coach of all time, Bob Knight, stepped down this week. Be nice to see him come back and go for 1000 wins, but that’s just me being selfish.

The stupidest trade of all time went down as the Suns traded away midget arm, malcontent Shawn Marion for big, old, slow, Shaquille O’Neal. He’s gonna kill the Suns. I just don’t see how this trade is in any way good for the Suns. Meanwhile, the Heat are looking much better for the future with that huge contract off their shoulders.

NBA predictions…Finals? Hmmm. Celtics vs Jazz…a ratings nightmare. Finals MVP, Kevin Garnett. League MVP Chris Paul. Hope the Magic do well too. I’m a Magic fan going back to Shaq/Penny/Nick Anderson/Dennis Scott days.

Kansas basketball continues to roll since Beasley and company defeated them a couple weeks back. My final four picks…Kansas, Duke, UCLA, and Indiana. North Carolina is over-rated and Memphis has even worse free throw shooting than Kansas. A Kansas/Memphis showdown would be fun to watch though.
