What did you think about Tiger's speech?

Donkey....

Doc Rivers is officially a donkey... as you have seen from recent posts, I hate hypocrites like him:
(this is in relation to the Cavs trade for Jaimison and how Ilwghawgihw-whatever-his-name is going to resign with the Cavs after he buys out his contract from the Wizzies....)

Rivers agreed with Jackson, even though the loophole has helped his team in the past.

"I have a problem with that," Rivers said before Thursday's Lakers-Celtics game at Staples Center. "I loved it three years ago when we did it with Gary Payton if you remember, but now I think it sucks. I think it's a terrible deal."

Rivers and the Celtics traded Payton to Atlanta in March 2005 for Antoine Walker and Payton returned to Boston after being waived by the Hawks.

"I actually do have a problem with that though. We did it, and I'm joking, but I do think [it's a problem]. I don't know what you do [maybe] just not allow them to go back to the same team or whatever. ... I do think that will be changed eventually, but I do have a problem with it."

So is it just me or is that incredibly hypocritical? I mean, you are a freaking grade-A jackass.  How can you even make a statement like that?  "I loved it three years ago when we did it with Gary Payton... but now I think it sucks..."  I wish that someone would just run up to Doc Rivers and drop kick him in the face.  Doc Rivers, you sir, are a douche.

This is so great... hilarious... she deserved it...

Going South... fast

Uhhh, Maryland is considered part of the south... But let's forget about that, I understand that Maryland is a better state, however, as much as virginia is ill-equipped to handle the snow, so is Maryland... more in relation to volume.  After the December snow, the money allotted for snow-removal was already used up in both states.  And the federal gov't closing, affects Maryland just as much as Virginia.  Just because individual counties handle their own respective snow removal services... that did not stop the maryland state gov't calling in snow removal crews from other states to help.  I'm just angry that this was even an option.  They pompously call themselves a commonwealth, and yet they don't exercise and tightly hold on to the sovereignty that is implied with the title. They should handle this crap themselves without looking to the federal gov't who they want to distance themselves from, so their name suggests. Maryland hasn't gotten on it's knees, so why is it that Virginia has to?  Or maybe, it's Obama who is on his knees....

As for Tiger, I think that people are blowing this all out of proportion.  Yes, his moral character is being called into question.  Yes, cheating on his wife, and the things that he did was immoral.  Yes, some could even categorize him as a horrible person (though i'm reluctant to do so solely on the grounds of charity and other things that he has done and accomplished not for selfish gain but for the unpriviledged.)  All those things being said... he is currently the best golfer and history may prove him to be the best golfer of all time.  And all current golfers should be thankful of his presence and influence on the game of golf.  Their salaries and prize money are as high as they are today as a result of him.  People watching golf and it becoming so mainstream is a result of his influence.  

So Ernie, don't be a whiney little bitch, and attacking Tiger's personal life and his character, because they have nothing to do with you, the sport you play, or your job.  Who cares if he's going to have a press statement during the time that you should be playing golf and wouldn't be watching it anyways, not like people are really watching you play Ernie.  And you want to talk about selfish?  Weren't you one of the ones that called for Tiger to address the public and to answer questions?  And now that he is, you complain it's not to your liking or your timetable?  Give me a freaking break.  I may not support what Tiger did, but I also don't support hypocritical people such as yourself.  Selfish?  I think you need to re-educate yourself as to what selfish means... or maybe they don't have such a good educational system in south africa.  But it's selfish for you to ask for something that you have no right asking for (a public statement from someone else regarding someone's personal life that does not involve you) and not wanting that person to take away from whatever little attention that you get when he actually does give you what you have so expressively been asking for and then calling him selfish even though he actually gave you what you asked for.  

To leave on a lighter note... this was a funny quote that I only 1/2 agree with...

"Tiger and Obama... a couple of arrogant black jerks on a grand scale.

Way to NOT do your race a service... You two have set blacks back 25 years!"

Tiger

Ive heard of the show, but know nothing about it. In regards to Tiger, of course he did it to spite Accenture, and good for him! No one cares about the matchplay event this weekend, even Phil isnt in the tournament. Then Finchem gives Tiger everything he wants in having his press conference at TPC. The tour needs Tiger and sadly now Tiger needs the tour so it will all work out. In regards to the snowstorm my only explanation to you is this:

Unlike DC, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, Virginia is a Southern state, and doensn't have as many resources when it comes to snow removal, and is particularly ill-prepared to deal with the mess. While VDOT does nearly all snow removal in the state, Maryland's individual counties do their own snow removal in addition to the State Highway Administration.

This being said Va is pathetic and needed help because the federal govt was closed for a week, traffic getting into and out of DC is ridiculous and Maryland is just a better state period. The governor requests the state of emergency, Obama just granted it. Focus on other things to hate on him about not snow removal..

Rant(dom)

Heard of a new HBO show from the producers of Entourage... "How to make it in America"

Ernie Els... you should shut your mouth. No one really cares what you think about Tiger.  Keep your opinions to yourself and maybe try winning, cause lord knows you haven't done that recently... and whenever you are in the position you... you choke... cause you suck. Go stroke the shaft and tickle the balls of some monkey in africa or something.  And, you know what? Maybe it was perfect timing on Tiger's part... who was one of the first sponsors to drop Tiger?  I believe it was Accenture... and low and behold, that's the sponsor of the golf tourny.... coincidence?  maybe... Spite? I hope so...

Olympics... are they as boring to everyone else as they are to me?  I have no to very little interest in watching them.  They just aren't exciting.  Yes, i know, I 'm suppose to have some type of national pride... but watching them does not raise any patriotic emotions within me.  Maybe if the sports that were in the Olympics were more mainstream, with athletes that i know more about... but such is not the case... it's almost as boring as watching the Wizards for the rest of this season, now that their star player is Earl Boykins.

Why is Virginia declared a disaster area, but Maryland is not... Why does Virginia have the opportunity to leech federal money to help their state with the snow and Maryland doesn't... yet another reason for me to hate Obama.

Tennis

Quick Response.. I think we have already argued this before but yes at the current moment Federer is the best to ever play the game. Why? Because he will surpass Sampras' record of titles and he beats Sampras in winning the grand slam as Pete never won the French. That is why the argument is Agassi is in a different category than Sampras because Agassi has the grand slam, Pete doesnt. Sampras however does have the hotter wife.. so point set match to Pete.

Best Ever?

McEnroe said that Federer is the best men's player ever.  That's a pretty bold statement... maybe his competition isn't as high as it was with the past greats... ever thought of that?  Sampras was amazing.

On other news... I can't believe the Saints won.... did Peyton just give it away?

Damned if you do Damned if you dont

I didnt really watch the whole State of the Union, but I will say this. From what I hear and what I have read so far, Republicans hated it like usual and Democrats wanted him to be more liberal in a sense. I think Obama is a very well spoken speaker and he is smarter than the average joe, which is like 75% of the Republican party.. hehe.. but I think you have to let him just do his job. Its been a year and alot of the things he said were true in regards to we could have done better, but we are slowing stopping the bleeding. Number one priority is jobs and the economy and he said that. Health care will come through eventually but he didnt start with the health care debate until half way through the speech. The one thing I did like about his speech was that he called out alot of people and was like if you have a better idea than tell me. If not then shutup and stop trying to get political gain. Do what is right for the country, not is what is right for you to win next election. I think the speech in general was shifted to the independents and not for the right or the left. But he was smart because the republicans rebuttle didnt really have anything worth any substance because he didnt allow them to have it. Their biggest response was the Christmas day bombing in which he is trying the guy in civil court. Then they were like well I dont think he should be tried in a civil court... well thats just plain out stupid because under Bush's watch they tried the 9/11 bombers in civil court and called it the best judgement day for the American people. You cant have it both ways Republicans..

Keenan McCardell was never an above average WR, he was just average.. that being said its not like he wont do a good job, he just will do an average job, and if your WR are below average so hey, they might be better than you expect.

The Pro Bowl is stupid, a week before the Super Bowl, I have really nothing to say about either one since I wont be watching it. :)

Isnt the Ipad just a big Iphone? I dont get it.

Golf does need Tiger.. so Elin needs to leave Farve's ranch, either get a divorce or stick with Tiger and have him come back to winning. Odds on him winning Augusta?

Rich and Stupid

I just don't understand how rich people can be so stupid.  They both deserve the punishment, I mean why the hell are they carrying around guns?  They are fucking rich, and when you're rich, you pay the people around you to carry guns so you don't get your ass in trouble.  That's the point of being rich, that you have enough money to pay people to do things for you that would normally get you in trouble... hence the point of having a entourage... no?  The richer you are, the more you have to lose, the smarter you should be with how you handle yourself.  Is that not common sense?  I mean, I'm poor and I'm smart enough not to do stupid shit because I don't have the money to pay for legal fees, and even if I did, I'd avoid it, cause my legal costs would go through the roof... that's if I wanted to win.  So to Arenas... you are a fuck up.  Your few years of superstardom is over as well.  Your knees are busted, so stop thinking you are this "Agent 0" who deserves to take game winning shots, cause you won't make them.

Thoughts on the Pro-bowl before the Superbowl?
Thoughts on the Ipad?
Thoughts on the Obama's State of the Union address?
Thoughts on what Lefty said about how golf need Tiger?

I'm not sure how I feel about Keenan McCardell as the Redskins WR coach... not that he's not accomplished... but is he really the best choice we have?  I mean come on... he was a better than average WR in his time, but not a superstar and certainly not a legend who has tons of wisdom to impart on our young WR corps. He has 1 year as a intern coach with the Giants... is that really enough to warrant being hired as a WR coach in the NFL?  SIGH

What you think?

So Arenas and Crittenton got suspended for the remainder of the season without pay. Adidas also pulled Arenas sponsorship.. what you think? This is what Stern had to say.

"The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, either in one's home or elsewhere. It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated," Stern said. "I have met separately with Mr. Arenas and with Mr. Crittenton. Both have expressed remorse for their actions and an understanding of the seriousness of their transgressions. Both have volunteered to engage in community service in order to turn the lessons they have learned into an educational message for others. I accept fully the sincerity of their expressions of regret and intent to create something positive from this incident. "Nevertheless, there is no justification for their conduct. Accordingly, I am today converting Mr. Arenas' indefinite suspension without pay to a suspension without pay for the remainder of the 2009-10 season, and am also suspending Mr. Crittenton without pay, effective immediately, for the remainder of the 2009-10 season."

Baseball sucks anyways

You cant ban McGwire from being a hitting coach because he is a hitting coach. He admitted he was wrong, even though his reasoning was beyond stupidity. Saying he took steroids for health reasons to rebuild his muscles... right because they didnt help you at all from hitting 72 home runs. That doesnt really matter though because if you ban McGwire, then you have to ban every other person who took steroids no matter what. You cant set a precedent for every player in the MLB since 50% of them take steroids for one reason or another. What Selig should do is just put an asterisk in this era and not accept McGwire's home runs at all. Then leave it up to the people who vote to see if he gets into the hall of fame or not. Give back the home run title to the rightful owners (forget who it is) and then leave it at that. In regards to Pete Rose, yes he should be in the hall of fame and he should be allowed back into baseball. I think that will eventually happen.

The Vikings will pursue McNabb and let that play out even with Farve figuring out what he wants to do. Farve still is under contract dont forget and no matter what has to tell the Vikings something sooner rather than later. Zorn is an idiot and is no good of a coach. Gosh jolly o gee I hope I get a job someplace because I am a tool who has no balls. Just because what he did the "right thing" not saying anything bad about his boss or tenure at the Skins he is a stand up guy? Please, he's pathetic. Grow some balls and learn to be a real head coach. Hip Hip Hooray

A Sense of Justice... and Bitterness

In all honesty, I thought Zorn was going to go to Cleveland to reunite with Holmgren and to help out with the QB mess the Browns have.  If the Ravens were smart, they would just hire Al Saunders, who has helped their offense a lot already  as a "consultant."  Besides, with the Ravens, they already have a system and personnel in place that is not conducive to Zorn's offensive philosophy of the west coast offense.  Cleveland in the other hand, atleast has a QB that fits that mold, somewhat accurate, but has a bit of a weak arm. I wonder how Zorn feels about going from a head coach of a storied franchise to a QB coach, the position he held before.  I mean, it's not even an OC job that he had originally wanted.  We'll see.  I must say this though, Zorn is a stand up guy and carried himself in a very respectful way throughout the whole situation, wronged or not.


Brett Favre... what else can I say other than, Childress should not give him free reign about deciding whether to come back, and by that I mean, there should be some type of deadline for his decision.  Let's be honest, without a deadline, Favre is basically holding the franchise hostage... Cause what do you do about the QB situation?  Yes, no matter whether he comes back or not, you can draft a QB and try to bring him along, but what about for the short term?  Do you pursue other options, such as McNabb?  Cause let's just say you do go after McNabb, and you get him, you won't get him for cheap.  And then what happens if Favre decides to come back?  Then you'll have 2 highly paid QBs who both are great players on your roster.  Favre puts the Vikings in a very tough situation, one that is unclear, and hard to plan with.  I say give Favre til a month or two after the draft, but the Vikes need an answer.  Thoughts?


I was reading an article about the McGwire and Pete Rose, and I absolutely agree with the opinion that if McGwire is pardoned so should Pete Rose, or vice versa, if Pete Rose is banned from baseball, so should McGwire. They both compromised the game, and in my opinion, McGwire more so than Rose.  McGwire cheated, plain and simple.  There are no ifs, ands, or buts, rather there is concrete fact: McGwire took steroids which helped him break records, hit homeruns, and become a household name.  Without them, could he have hit all those homeruns?  If you are saying yes... then why the hell did he take them?  Follow the logic, and the logic will lead you to the correct conclusion, McGwire cheated, and cheated in such a way that he disrespected previous record holders by using steroids to break the records.  Do you let a child keep an A that they got on a test even though they admitted to cheating?  No, you don't reward cheating, you punish it.  So Bud Selig, how can you keep the ban on Rose, but yet let McGwire have a high position in a baseball franchise?  Hypocritical?  Or just retarded?  Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, McGwire doesn't, and yet, as it stands, McGwire has a better chance than Rose does... where is the justice?


P.S. Don't be bitter and hate sports just cause your Vikings lost...

Zorn

So the Ravens have apparently interviewed Al Saunders and Jim Zorn for their QB coach to teach Joe Flacco.. what do you think about that? Their old coach is going to Oakland.

Chuck-E-Cheese

It's for elementary school kids, so it's pretty much the perfect place, cause they have pizza and games.  Actually though, last time they had one it was at Cici's.

As for McNabb, he is good, but in all honesty, I don't think he'll be leaving Philly.  The coach loves him, not to mention, his back-up is good, but this is like the first time they have surrounded him with wrs and they probably want to give him another year to see how he does.  If he does go to the Vikings, he will have a stud year.  With all those weapons, he'll be so giddy.  If it were up to him, and he was going to make the smart choice, he should go to the Vikes.  And you guys kind of need him if Favre doesn't come back.  People who you have on the roster are no good.  I'm also thinking that you will draft a QB in the mid to late rounds of the draft.

Plug someone in for Pat Williams?  I'm not so sure about that friend.  He was the anchor of the D-line.  Sure you can put someone there in his place cause you have to, but will he be effective?  I don't think so.  Pat is a force on the inside.  He's one of very few DTs that get pressure inside and get sacks.  Most DTs just take up space and try not to let the line move, where Pat moves the O-line backwards and into the QB's face.

And you guys won't officially be in a rebuilding mode until... well your defense or your o-line needs replacing.  But hopefully, your GM and your coach will do a good job at gradually finding players to bring along and replace them without having a rebuilding year.  Your team is damn young, especially your offensive weapons.  Just look at the future and start picking O-line, DT, CB, and some LB depth.

McNabb

Pat Williams can retire, thats fine. He is old, and yes he is still good, but we will just plug in another guy. It is what it is, you already know its going to be a rebuilding year to a certain extent but Im still positive that they will come out on top. Its not like they are NOT going to make the playoffs.. please.. Ill put money on that right now. Bigger news.. McNabb to the Vikings.. hmm.. I mean I wouldnt mind it to be honest. He can throw the ball deep, and its not like he isnt good still. You as a Skins fan should know that cold heartedly.

The Metro sucks, but whats sad is that its still better than 90% of public transportation in the nation.

And why is the fundraiser always at Chuck-E-Cheese?

Losing Another Superstar?

So Pat Williams might not be coming back next year, how is that going to affect your team?  I mean, he is the anchor on that defensive line my friend.  Just wondering what your thoughts on that were.

Apparently, today, 2 metro employees died while conducting track maintenance.  And I am not trying to disrespect these people in anyway whatsoever... but seriously?!?! How many times is this going to happen before people get a clue?  I mean the metro is a government-run institution.  You are telling me that they can't do track maintenance without getting someone killed?  And why is it always the Red line?  Sometimes things just astound me.  I have no idea how things like this can continue to happen.  If this were to happen in the private sector... people would be losing jobs and shitting thunderbolts.

Going to chuckycheese tonight for a fundraiser.  Anyone interested?

MacGyver

What a great show.. might be the greatest of all time for the 80's, early 90's and yes I am super excited for it. A-Team should be good, especially w/ Rampage Jackson. I think I might just watch an episode of MacGyver right now.. hehe
