Triple Crown Race

My thoughts on the triple crown race between Albert Pujols and Joey Votto. You have to be cheering for Votto on this one. Not even for the whole "underdog" thing. It's because Albert will always be special, he will go down as one of the greatest players ever. Votto might be a great player but most people won't remember him, and he isn't "special" but if he wins a Triple Crown he has his special acheivement to hang his hat on. Also he's Canadien, so he has that going for him.

So Lebron chooses Miami over Chicago and the Cavaliers. What can I say?

How about, and quote me on this, What a load of shit.
This shit just makes me mad. what a waste of the offseason! This was billed as one of the best offseasons ever in exciting deals being done and massive change. Yea players changed teams but where's the heart in a NBA player. Let me explain, here is a rundown of the big NBA signings this year, Rudy Gay resigned because it was the max money he could get, Dwayne Wade stayed in Miami which everyone knew was going to happen, (NOT going to Chicago to be able to spend time with his kids), Chris Bosh was a total wuss in just piggybacking off of Wade, (if Wade went to Bulls Bosh would of followed), and lebron...... o Lebron... What amazes me is that for awhile I thought Lebron was actually going to establish his own personality as an individual, instead of being this complete corporate/NBA stooge. On multiple ocasions it has been shown how much Lebron is being controlled by Nike and the NBA and how they baby him. Yet this decision is somehow a combination between him being a dumbass and corporate nba being pleased. The NBA gets there super team that gets over exposure every night on ESPN, and lots of new jerseys to sell. NIke gets awhole new ad campaign. And Lebron gets to go play with his buddies in chasing a ring.
Now you might say, "Well he's trading stats for a possible title that's amazing."
NO NO NO, this is the worst assumption, yes his stats will fall and yea the whole point is to get a ring. But that's the trick, how selfish is it, to leave your hometown team that raised you to get a title somewhere else, just so you can be called the "greatest". And that's all Lebron cares about. He knows he wouldn't be called the best ever if he doesn't get some titles. and yet this decision guarantees he will never be better than jordan. Jordan failed to win in the playoffs in Chicago, so what did he do? He got better, played better, and dominated. After failing this year, Lebron gives up and is hoping to take the easy road.



That's right Lebron, like most of your three pointers, you FAIL.





P.S. Admittedly, I am happy the Bulls didn't really didn't shit compared to what they were hoping for

Halleluia!

Yup this ones just for you brewers fans. Finally the Soupman is gone! Jeff Suppan is off of our hands!(but still on our payroll) Listening to all other brewers fans I assumed Jeff Suppan was the only thing holding us back from the playoffs. (joke) Even as I orgasm in rejoicing I feel bad for the guy because he was one of the nicest guys you could have on a team. But o well, GO BREWERS!

sidenote: isn't new closer Axford awesome? I don't know why.... maybe it's that he is actually competent but it's probably because he has the word AX in his name!

GM's and a rant on russell and the Soupman

I think it is hilarious when sports teams make moves that not even they can justify completely, like how anyone thought JaMarcus Russell could be a good player, "ooooo he can throw da ball fars me pick him!" and you could say that was dilusional Al Davis, but everyone agreed with the pick! Yea well it's not like Quinn has turned out much better, another example of getting the Notre Dame hype, (watch it happen to Clausen too), I mean how bad of choices were Quinn and Russell, you know who was picked after Russell? ADRIAN PETERSON and CALVIN JOHNSON. I mean even Tyler Thigpen of the Chiefs a 7th round pick playing for an equally crappy team put up better numbers as a rookie then russell ever did.

But anyway sorry about getten on a lil'russell rant there back to GM"s. Remeber when the Grizzlies picked up Allen Iverson? who the hell thought of that?! o yea he would be fine coming off the bench for the Grizzlies (yea no problem he's an unselfish guy right? He will sacrifice his points for the team right? Especially a losing one. Right? Right?) I mean it's like sports owners don't even think how things would actually work out they just made the move to get some attention. Like anyone who is interested in players like, Milton Bradley, or Stephon Marbury, yea their mildly beneficial to your club, especially Bradley, but there are soooo many other options out there. Guys like this have to realize that the only time you can be all drama queens is when your a big star like Lebron or Tom Brady, they can say what they want, you know why? cuz their that fucken good! Also on a sidenote it's frustrating when they ridiculously overpay for an average player because he was solid in the playoffs (JEFF SUPPAN). It's like they assume that because their paying alot of money that that means he will be good.

Also I think it's funny that I admittedly wrote this like a couple of months ago and none of these players I say are still on their original teams, (exception being that bastard suppan). And for that matter only bradley is even on a team!

And here's what I hate about Suppan, he is a great guy. He is totally involved in the community and gives alot to charity, but that doesnt make you a good pitcher. So I want to cheer for him, I want to yell "SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUPPPP" with the rest of the crowd, but I just cant cuz hes completely lost it. It's that simple he has disappeared. And I dont think its an age thing, because yea hes lost some velocity but really he has lost accuracy and, well, intelligence! he isnt outsmarting hitters anymore. God I wish we had signed someone ANYONE else, I know the agent market was week but I'd still take a younger than now Randy Wolf, or a Sidney ponson cuz I mean come on this guy looks hilarious.






Yea I'd come to see this guy.

The NCAA Overview

I know everyone gripes about the BCS so I will leave that alone (FOR NOW). But besides the BCS college has gotten most sports right, in basketball March Madness is amazingly perfect but I do think players should have to stay for at least two years not just one so there aren't as many busts in the NBA *coughGreg Odincough*. And also because this new rule would ultimately destroy John Calipari, which I think lots of people will be ok with. Also I understand they want more money (who doesnt?) but thank god they didn't expand the tournament to 96 teams. That would of been atrocious, I mean, the college basketball regular season is already not very important, making a 96 team tournament would of made the regular season as irrelevant as the plot of a porno.
College Football has produced some of the most entertaining games ever because of it's exciting overtime rules compared to the NFL where although close games are fun overtime sucks all the excitement out of it like taking notes during a movie. I'll get into NFL overtime some other time, but honestly, college football overtime is awesome. It is so well designed, that so many games are made great by double or triple overtime, Which if that happened in the NFL would suck because that means NO ONE WOULD BE SCORING. The best game I have ever seen live, and what I believe is the best football game of the 21st century, Oklahoma vs. Boise St. ended dramatically in overtime, and the greatness of the game was extended because of overtime whereas in the NFL overtime is just like "fuck lets end this game already" which isnt fitting at all!
College baseball gets less coverage but that is deserving because high school
players can be drafted and good college players won't stay for four years or even three. So the whole college baseball is system is just not right to get all commercial like football and basketball.
It's actually awesome to watch and really where the game is at its purest. College baseball is where the NCAA is truly at it's best, I'm not saying it doesnt pull some classic bullshit on players or teams like it always does but the experience of going to a college game is great, the fans are usually passionate and more supportive while being less drumk (some of the time). And enjoying the game is easier because these are kids that are playing the game for their team and because they love the sport. It is easier to cheer for them then some aloof star making 10 mil, while just coasting the year away until he can sign with a better team. So thank you NCAA for getting at least one sport (basketball) right, and not screwing up with another (baseball).
I could go into more college sports like lacrosse and hockey, and any womens sports, but I'll save that for another time. Especially because I really know nothing about those sports. I'm sorry. It's not my fault Sportscenter doesn't deem them interesting enough to cover at all.
That's it for now, give me your opinion, check out my other blog on movie reviews, and I'll try and keep regular updates. Now how are those brewers doing... fuck.

An Open Letter to Sports

A Letter to Sports

I would like to start by saying that I have always worshiped and followed you and most of my childhood has been spent playing you, but lately I’ve had trouble with some of your most recent developments, I would like to address them, so that it feels like I'm making a difference, when truly this is as insignificant as a movie of pictures of my cat on youtube. Here are some of the things that I have issues with,

Your seasons are too long. They're drawn on that no one cares about baseball in May and everyone's tired of it by September. Also playoff baseball shouldn't be affected by the cold fall weather, I don't want to see players' breath or hear about how a pitcher is struggling because his hands are cold. A major part of baseball is tailgating on a beautiful summer day with friends and family. Not wishing you had an outlet for your space heater, while your family sits in the car with the heat on.

I'm also getting tired of team names, because they are all the same generic recycled ones, especially in high school and college levels, but they are also bad in the pros. I mean, why is it the Oklahoma City Thunder? o yea it rains so much in Oklahoma. And don't even get me started on the Redskins.[1] Also mascots are falling into this trap too, it seems as if every mascot out there is a cat, dog, or bird, I mean seriously if your mascot is a bald eagle in your team colors that is as original as a graduation video with "Time of your Life" playing in the background.

So the fact is, Sports, no matter what you do, people probably won't get tired of you like they do with other forms of entertainment (reading). The thing is Sports, I am addicted to you in a extreme way so that I see all your flaws as well as your greatest moments. When I watch you, it distracts me from everything bad around me. Whether it's homework, trouble with parents, or being bored, sports lets my mind take a break from all the stress and frustration, well at least when the Packers are winning.

Actually did you know they were originally called the Washington Braves so over time they got more racist! I mean come on who the hell even thought of that! For punishment they should be called the Nationals or maybe the Senators.
