Giants - Rangers

As a Dodgers fan, it is killing me to see the Giants in the World Series.

Now, they took game one...ugh. LETS GO RANGERS!

Speaking of bad sporting events, last weekend was pretty bad for me.

I was rooting for Iowa to beat Wisconsin...they lose by 1. During the game they missed an extra point and a field goal.

The Broncos lost by 1,000,000 to their rival...the Raiders. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am a fan of Brock Lesnar and he looked as good as the Broncos on Saturday getting knocked out in the first round.

Luckily Liverpool actually won a game...they are still at the level of being relegated though.

Lets hope this weekend is a little better for me!

It was the best of times. It was the WORST of times!

Boy oh boy. Last night was just a great sports night for me. The Broncos were playing on Monday night football and the Dodgers were playing in the NLCS.

Lets start with the game that ended first...the BEST of times. Can anyone believe this Bronco team? We just beat SD IN SD! Wow. Just wow. Denver still has a really tough schedule left but make no mistake this team can play. Who would have thought it really after the off season we have had? I wish Cutler the best. I really do. I am really happy with this Bronco team. They are dominating people in the 2nd half of games. More credit needs to be given to Mike Nolan. This defense is playing great. Well, anyway I HATE Phillip Rivers. I know he is good but he is so cocky and arrogant. It was great seeing him get knocked around in that loss. What a great time!

Now, lets move on to the worst of times...one out away. Oh Broxton - why did you have to walk the first two batters??? You couldn't get Matt Stairs out. Really? Jimmy Rollins should have never seen the plate. The Dodgers were one out away from tying the series. Now, they are on the verge of getting knocked out of the playoffs. What a terrible turn of events! The dodgers looked decent last night. They were playing tough. That was a tough loss. I will be surprised if they make it back to LA.

What a roller coaster of sports last night!

Best Idea for a basement....

Thank you Steve for sending me this link.




So, for 15k, "You get four TVs, a 1200-watt Panasonic 5.1 home theater, DVD player with 5-disc changer, iPod docking station, a keg-o-rator, microwave oven, two cigar humidors, 32-bottle wine rack and — get this — a 7-foot long sports ticker with its own computer built into it."

Wow just wow. I would like to add a little more if I could. I want to expand the main frame so the TV could be a little bigger. Can we put a shelf for hard liquor and hard liqour glasses? That way we could have a full bar. Other than that, I think this wall is PERFECT.

Sports Week

This is a great week of sports. Lets review

1. Baseball is back and in full swing. It is great to watch some innings and baseball starting just means that spring is "here" and summer is CLOSE. YES!
2. The NCAA championship was Monday (even though this year the game sucked). I am sure Neyer was happy.
3. The superbowl of wrestling was on Sunday, wrestlemania. This year was the 25 year anniversary. It was fun to watch.
4. The Masters starts tomorrow. Yes, I am openly rooting for Tiger but I love this event in general. What a beautiful golf course Bobby Jones made down there in Georgia.
5. Last but not least the NBA regular season is coming to an end which means that most of these games have the feel of a playoff game as team jockey for position.

Good sports week!

Sports Hazing

I love hearing stories on rookies getting hazed by old athletes. They always crack me up. Well, Funk sent this to me in an email today. I thought I would share it. It also helps that I am a huge Clinton Portis fan.


PUT IT ON THE UNDERHILLS' BILL

"Clinton was young. Let's just say we gave him the rookie experience."
-Newly acquired Redskins running back Shaun Alexander reminiscing about a trip to the Pro Bowl where he and Priest Holmes welcomed Clinton Portis to the league.
"Priest Holmes calls me in Hawaii, asks, 'Man, what room you in? I'm going to call you. I'm like, '814.' Never heard from him, but you go to check out and you see charges on your credit card for mai tais. I know I didn't drink 200 mai tais over that weekend. He and Shaun owe me about $15,000 still."
-Redskins running back Clinton Portis

Boom goes the dynamite!

Greatest sports announcer in history!

Beckham vs. Woods

Okay, due to my driving all over the last few days, I have listened to a TON of Mike and Mike. I love the show so I do not mind. Today they were talking about how famous Tiger Woods is. Greeney was saying he thinks that Tiger is more well know than Beckham. Golic was completely on the other side. Yes, Tiger is known worldwide. He belongs in this conversation. He wins the British Open. He plays tournaments in Dubai. He is HUGE in Asia (since his mom is Asian).

Come on. Do you really think he is more popular than Beckham? i asked a couple people here who are not from the US. A couple points they made. One of them was in Thailand not too long ago and he saw gold shrine of Beckham. The other guy said the following.

"If Tiger Woods was in the airport in Seoul, people would go up to him and want to take a picture with him. If Beckham was in the airport, it would be a media frenzy and a mob scene."

I want to know your thoughts. I am posting a survey.

Fantasy football perfect storm...

I had quite the run in fantasy football. I had a powerhouse team. I was 11-2 in the regular season and was the highest point total for the year. It was an easy ride in the regular season. The playoffs have been going on for now two weeks. I am in the semifinals last week. Well, my team lost point total ever was 89 or 94 I think and I averaged around 120 for the year.

My team had 64 points this week. Yes, 64 points for the WHOLE week. Everyone did poorly. Brady was throwing balls in 40 mph winds...great...this guy has been averaging around 30-40 points a week...he got 4. No Tds...first time this year, a pick...6th of the year. Thanks!

Oh wait, the Bengals are playing the SF. Should be some easy pickings...they do nothing with their passing game...thanks TJ and CJ...you are awesome! Reggie Wayne...did nothing...Willie Parker...do you know what endzone is? Oh wait the best is Westbrook...lets break a run for a touchdown at the end of the game and tackle YOURSELF at the 1 yard line...thanks!

I lose by 11...I now fight for third place. I have made over $100 on the year so I can not complain too much...there is always next year!

400 people are turned away

The stadium that Clemson volleyball plays in holds a little more than 2,000 people. Well, for yesterday's game, they had 2,200 people in attendance and they had to turn over 400 people away from the game. It was awesome. Clemson was playing Duke. Clemson is number one in the conference and Duke is number 2. If Clemson wins the match, they go up two games with four to play. The game was HUGE. The crowd was loud. Clemson crushed Duke 3-1. It was awesome. Everyone on Clemson played well. Leslie had an awesome all around game. I have never been to volleyball game that was that intense. Every point was a fight. All the girls after the game keep saying they were so exhausted. I believe it. Once I figure out how to post a pic, I will post a pic of the crowd. Unbelievable!
