Pleading Plaxico!

Well, in classy Michael Vick fashion, Plaxico Burress plead GUILTY to his gun charges today. As a result, he will serve 2 years in prison. I saw footage of Plaxico entering the courtroom on the news...he was by himself. Maybe his lawyer wife got a clue. I bet he is just a BREEZE to live with, LOL. Cocky much, Plaxico?? Anyway, doesn't seem like anyone in the NFL is crying over his impending absence on the field. He hasn't played in a year or so anyway. The NY Giants suspended him when he first shot himself in the thigh in that bar. And then they released him from the team a few months ago. Word had it he was shopping around for a team before training camp started, but no takers. Plaxico was good at what he did, one of the best wide receivers in the game, but I could smell that bad attitude a mile away. Unfortunately, seems a lot of good ball players go out like that. They have good careers, but they let their primadonna, above the rules/law attitudes tear down everything they built up over the years. There really is no excuse for stupidity of THIS magnitude, SO, Plax gets a loud and hearty "BD" (Big Dummy) from me and four snaps for ruining his career, his reputation, and his legendary status as an NFL player. {{BIG DUMMY}} Plaxico!!!

Just Gotta Take One Last Jab at Favre!

Beyond the fact that he is acting indecisive and feeble-minded these past two years, here's more proof that Favre is just too old to be playing football: analysts believe that he put on this fiasco about "retiring" JUST to get out of going to camp!! That's right Brett "lazy bones jones" Favre just may have wanted to buy enough time to sit on his cheeks and not workout with the rest of the hardworking NFL players out there! He wanted to waltz into pre-season football all rested up, straight from the farm. Well, if this is true, good LORD this guy is a basket case! Does anyone else suspect he has some type of personality disorder? Or maybe aspergers? He just doesn't seem to know how to be socially correct. Brett, buddy, listen, when you're an old, irrelevent football player, YOU RETIRE! That's the regular order of business, got that?! And shame on the Vikings organization for supporting his age-related hysteria. Man, I see that middle-age crisis hits some guys HARRRRRD! Hey Favre, here's going out with a BUST, cheerio! :P

Jamaica Funk!

Those Jamaicans must have something in the water out there! First, Usain Bolt set another world record in the 100m dash running a ridiculous 9.58 time. Then the Jamaican ladies win the gold (Olympic gold winner Shelly-Ann Fraser) and silver (Kerron Stewart) in the 100m women's dash. America's Carmelita Jeter won the bronze. American sprinters have their work set out for them if they want to regain the title of the worlds fastest sprinters any time soon. So far, Jamaica has been on a two your trend of beating us. I really just hope that nothing comes out later about these Jamaicans doping and such. That would be disconcerting to say the least. I guess it's also possible, whereas, just a month ago, five Jamaican runners tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. I'm just saying.....At any rate, Jamaica has now produced the fastest running human and the biggest clown in the history of the world, LOL. Okay, I'll be nice, congratulations Usain and Jamaica! More races to come in the IAAF World Championships, so stay tuned! It's airing on NBC and Versus channels and the last day is Sunday. :)

Say It Ain't So!!!

Rumor has it that Brett "dinosaur bones" Favre has signed a deal with the Minnesota Vikings!! NOOOOOO! This news comes shy of one month where he announced that he would stay retired. It's only a rumor at this point, but sources have outted the news saying the deal has already been signed. And Favre did fly out to Minnesota today for some odd reason....Egads! This man is 39 years old and is pretty much set to be entered into the NFL Hall of Fame IF HE WOULD JUST STAY RETIRED LONG ENOUGH!! Good lord...what do we have to do to keep this guy away from the NFL and keep him retired??? Does his wife and kids bore him THAT much?! :(

The Beast Must Be Contained....

Well, Gina did lose. She lasted almost one round, and for the most part put on an impressive performance before that beast from hell, Cris Cyborg pinned her to the fence and stole the match. I could be wrong, but if "it" was born a woman, I'll eat my hat (buy one and eat it). The good news is, Gina escaped from every submission attempt that Cyborg threw at her. She took quite a few strikes, and landed a few herself. In the end, I think she lost the fight out of exhaustion and having less strength. Cyborg is one strong chick, and that was evident. Her neck is wider than most men I know!! Not entirely sure a very naturally feminine woman like Gina could build enough muscle to be much stronger than she is right now. But this one thing I do know, Gina smells blood now! If she didn't really want it before, she wants it now and I can already project that there will be a rematch. In addition, more good news is that this unprecedented fight has drawn MANY female MMA fighters out of the woodworks. They want a piece of the beast, and I can't wait to see her go down! I'm officially tired of seeing the Brazilians win (and yes, even my boy Anderson Silva is hanging by a thread). I have a new vendetta....it's not about nationalism, I just don't like to see one country dominate in an international sporting event. Kinda like my irritation with Jamaica dominating in the sprinting events in track and field, but that's another story. So stay tuned! Looks like the girls are about to BLOW UP! There's a new belt out there made for the ladies, made out of gold, and we all know how much women love jewelry! P.S. check out that cute pic above of Gina with a shiner!! She can definitely take a hit! :D

Soapbox Moment: "Caring Matters"

Okay, I admitted a few weeks ago that I JUST couldn't wait to watch some pro football. Regardless of the incredibly lackluster Combine and draft, I was still looking forward to seeing those boys doing their thang on the field. Hence, when I found out that the pre-season games have been coming on, I couldn't wait to tune in! So I did.....for the past three days...and....I find that the games are, for lack of a better term, prosaic. Yes, that's right. I'm not digging it. And I think it's because, with pre-season football, I just don't give a Hoover-Dam who wins. And there is the rub. Football is really only football when you care about the outcome! Football just for the sake of football, is like watching paint dry. So yes, I know that these games are vitally important in terms of trying out new personnel, but hey I'm in for the personal satisfaction that MY team is winning and getting that much closer to the playoffs. "Caring matters," and right now I just don't care unless the win counts. Football is not just entertainment to me, perhaps it should be, but I have my reality shows for that. So, *yawn,* guess I'll pass on pre-season football and keep my eye out for a sport with some real competiton until the NFL season starts. Patience is indeed a virtue! teeheehee

U.S. Just Gave it Away

I didn't watch the match, but I hear the soccer match between the U.S. and Mexico was a nail-biter! Turns out, the U.S. had the lead for the first time EVER since they've played in Mexico. BUT they gave that lead away. Perhaps they got a little too over confident. Needless to say, it's a very disappointing loss. I'm also sure that many soccer fans from the U.S. felt a bit torn, since so many Americans have roots or families from or in Mexico. I know that some of my Facebook friends, were riding the fence with who they were rooting for. To me, it's just exciting to have the U.S. be a contender for the world cup! I mean, we'll have to learn how to hold onto leads and not get too ahead of ourselves if we want it, but it's great to be in the running for it! We need to re-group and keep our eyes on the prize. And this loss notwithstanding, we are still number three in the overall standings. Good luck U.S.!
