Ok, this has to be one of my favorite weeks of the year. The opening weekend of college football. Do I think that the Texas Longhorns have a shot at winning the National Title. YOUR DAMN RIGHT I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I don't want to get into that, I'm sure I will talk at length about that in the future. I want to talk about how great this week is leading up to the first games of the season. This is the time of the year when you have that great feeling that this could be the year that your team does it and beats everyone else. This is the week of the year that I get my game day Tshirt that I will wear every Saturday until we loose in it and then pick another one. Hell, this coming Friday is wear your colors to work day and you are damn skippy that I will be decked out in BURNT ORANGE and WHITE!!!!!!!!!! This is the part of the year that you hear all the hype around certain teams and players, and in your head you just know how bad they actually are and you are wondering what the "experts" are thinking. Like for example, Florida who will be replacing what morons call the "greatest" college player in history Tim Teblow with another quarterback. "Experts" say that he will have a much easier road than most think. HUH????? Have they NOT seen Florida's schedule? I mean this poor kid who barely played last year because Florida was more interested in running up the score on people than anything didn't get playing time until Teblow sprained his ovaries on a hit in the Kentucky game. Then the kid came in and threw a couple of touchdowns against KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!! That is like when I beat Dawn in an argument, it's just not fair. Or the "experts" saying how great Alabama is going to be because they have their offense coming back. When EVERYONE knows it was their defense that won them everything last year, and they pretty much lost that entire side of the ball. DUMBASSES!!!!!!!!! Lets not even talk about the shitty Pac 10 or Big 10 because no one really cares about any team outside of Ohio State in those two conferences. Which leaves smalls schools who by the way don't matter. They never have, and never will. And the Big 12. Which will be the best/most entertaining conference this year with an old favorite on the top. Nebraska no longer has a defense and their biggest test is against a team that they are 1-14 against. Then you have CH-oklahomo that can't win big games at all, including loosing four out of the last five games they play against their biggest rival, which they will loose again this year because it is, it has and will always be about the ALMIGHTY TEXAS LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If God wasn't a Longhorn fan he would have never made sunsets BURNT ORANGE!!!!!!!

Did you happen to hear that Brett Farve is coming back to the league???????? I know that you have, if not then you are a moron that hates anything to do with ANY sports. You see the coverage was a "bit" over the top. Not only did they cover his arrival into Minnesota like he was a President returning home. But the people who lined the streets for him and took pictures of his motorcade like he was the damn Pope. That was the first day, then we had to see him throwing a few practice balls, and him hamming it up with the rest of his teammates. And it seems to me like EVERYONE in Minnesota is happy. It must be really nice to have a short memory. Lets remember that this is the guy who LOST you the NFC Championship game last year. By the way he WILL NOT take you back to the promised land this year. It is already starting that he doesn't get along with the weirdo creepy looking coach that the Vikings have Brad Childress. Is it me or does this guy just look like a guy that would own a van and fake an arm injury just to get you inside????? Brett says that for sure this is his LAST YEAR. BULLSHIT!!!!!!! If he fails again, and once again it is HIS fault that the team didn't win, just like last year, and his last game as a Packer he will be back. This is what I'm sort of hoping for. I really don't care to see Aarron Rodgers get hurt but if he does, then let it happen late in the season to where Rodgers has to miss most of if not all of next season. How much do you want to bet me that Brett Farve won't take that job. He will be there faster than me at a buffet. I don't think that he would even go home to Mississippi in the offseason because he is soooooooooo happy to be back in cheeseland. Like I said, this will NOT be Farves last year, that is unless the Minnesota Vikings do the unthinkable, win the Superbowl. This would be like the Buffalo Bills in 20 more years actually winning the Superbowl. But what would make it even better if the Vikings were to win the big game is if Tavaras Jackson led the way to the game after Brett broke his hip because he is 100 years old. That way he really wouldn't be able to (even though he would) take credit for winning the Superbowl. I can't wait only two weeks away from pigskin kicking off!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I don't know about you but the football bug is starting to bite me. This weekend was the Hall of Fame weekend which means the first preseason games of the year. I don't know about you but I get excited for the games until I watch presesason games because these games DON'T MATTER!!!!!!!!! No matter how much you want them to count they don't. And here is the worst part about it, players need these games to get back into game shape but that means they could get hurt and not play in the regular season. That is my favorite by the way is when your favorite player is in a preseason game and is playing the game good and hard and all of a sudden WHAM, he's blown his knee out and is gone for the season. Now like him your season is over before it even got started. That is why I'm liking the fact that the owners are wanting to get rid of two games starting maybe as early as next year in the preseason and then having an 18 game schedule. Now sure this will generate more money for the league but that is a huge concern for the owners. Right now the players side gets about 60 percent of all the money that the NFL gets. By adding two more games that means way more revenue but the owners don't want to give as much away starting next year. They want to give anywhere between 50-55 percent of the money and they want to start testing for steroids, and growth hormone, along with putting a rookie salary cap in as well. I don't see what the problem is with the drug testing and rookie salary cap. I mean can you justify that shitbag Sam Bradford the number one pick in the draft is going to make more money this year than Tom Brady. A guy who has won three Superbowls compared to a guy who didn't even win his conference the last two years he played in it. I guess the NFL is really that stuck on itself that they think people won't be pissed off if there is a work stoppage next season. Let's take a look back and see what it did to baseball. It hurt it at first but eventually people came back to games and made it kind of popular again. Hockey is a different story. Hockey is dying a slow miserable death and they have no one to thank but themselves for being greedy. I don't think it will happen to football but why even chance it???? Both sides want more than they deserve and the only real people to feel the pain is us the fans. So if your like me you are really going to enjoy this season, that is until Tony Romo screws the Cowboys and the Cowboy fans once again!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I know that this is one of the best times of the sports year. Sure, you have baseball going into the pennant stretch, but you also have NFL training camp starting. This used to be a really fun time of the year for real football fans, too bad it has been ruined. It has been ruined by you FANTASY LOSERS!!!!!!!!! I don't know about you but whenever I watch the ticker at the bottom of the screen I just want to see who wins the game. I don't really give two shits about how many yards a backup running back got, along with the kicker kicking his 12 touchback in a row. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough with the fantasy shit already. And don't come back at me with it's a way to win money. So is cockfighting and I don't see that on ESPN!!!!!!!! How in the hell can you call yourself a fan when you pick your "team" and some guy on your "team" is playing against the team you grew up rooting for. And then you say the brilliant statement of well I hope he has a great game today but I want "us" to win. HUH???????? I don't know about you but I NEVER root for anyone on the other team. There is no reason for that today, yesterday or any day in the future. You are not a sports fan. Instead you are a D and D geek that has found a loophole into cool guy world. You see you try to get yourself in there like you know anything about the game, and the only things you know if from a blog that you have subscribed to. You must really hate football season because it takes time away from your world of war craft time. I'm sure that your mom is just happy that some other men that are your age let you hang out with them. They do this because they don't really know how much of a geeky loser you really are. That is until you go too far and say that you can have the draft in your "basement" which by the way is your room as well. Only a few of the guys will notice this and it's too late for them to leave the league so they play along. All hoping they don't make the same mistake next year when you get invited to their basements. Up yours fantasy losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, it's here NFL training camp time. The time of the year that all the players on the team are healthy and expectations are running high. This is also the time of the year that you see all the potential for your team to do good for the upcoming season. Too bad this is all a part of a bad bad dream for most teams. You see we the fans expect way too much from teams at this time of the year. Sure, we get a little excited for the preseason games but let's face it they all SUCK!!!!!!!! Why????? Because most of the guys playing in these games suck and will be bagging your groceries during the season. But I still do get a little excited because training camp means the season is almost here. But hasn't it felt like that since the Superbowl. This off season, if you want to call it that has been covered like I have never seen before. It doesn't feel like when I was growing up that football season was over. I mean with all the hype of the draft, then all the OTA's and not to mention that NFL Live on ESPN hasn't taken a day off. Not to mention that we have to hear about damn Brett Farve every two seconds. HE'S COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!! I liked the good ole days when summer was for baseball. The only time you would hear about your football team was if they were doing some charity work or getting arrested. I miss those days. How much have you heard about hockey since the season ended?????? That's right you haven't. Sure it's not as popular as football but they are in their offseason. So let's start respecting the offseason. And remember that summer is for Baseball and Baseball ALONE!!!!!

What in the hell is wrong with Floyd Maywether and Manny Paquio?????? The deadline for their super fight has come and gone and NOTHING has been signed. WHY??????? I mean the last thing that I heard was that both fighters were going to make around $50 million for the fight. I don't know about you but I would do whatever tests there were to do to get my hands on $50 million. If there is anyone out there that wants to punch me in the face for 12 rounds and pay me $5 million I would gladly do that as well. These are a couple of fighters who I guess are worried about their legacies rather than what is good for boxing. These two fighters are what is wrong with boxing today and how it is a dying sport. The lack of a good heavyweight has really brought boxing down and has started to make MMA pull closer than it ever has before. This would have been one of those fights that puts boxing back on top where it belongs. No offense to MMA fans out there but boxing is still the best way to see who the best fighter is. There is no wrestling around, there is no choke holds there is only 4 fists that do all the battling. Are these two guys worried that if they loose they will not go down as great fighters????? I mean Floyd is still undefeated and one loss to him won't make his career a joke, what he is doing now is making it a joke. Boxing used to be something great, now it's nothing more than a sideshow. We have 7 foot tall Russians who are just freaks that can't fight and that's what boxing is now. The legends of boxing are rolling over in their graves because today's modern athlete has killed their sport. If this fight doesn't happen boxing will finally have the final nail in it's coffin and it will not come back to life EVER again.

Well, well, well Lance Armstrong has come out and said that his Tour de France is over. Isn't that weird that he says this with the race still having four or five months left to go? I guess all the Lance supporters are going to say a bunch of things like he doesn't have a good enough team, or that his age is finally catching up with him. I think those are all great excuses. How about they just tell the truth??? I mean lets face facts with NO allegations of him using anything right now to help his performance he isn't riding that well. Does he need all the hoopla around him to make him ride better???? Or does he need what he used in the previous events to ride well. I'm leaning more towards the latter. Lance Armstrong has always had a cloud around him and his "accomplishments". Why is it that no other champion of his callabour really has??? I mean did Michael Jordan ever make people wonder why he was such a good basketball player???? What about guys like Joe Montana(who by the way I hate)?? What made him a better player than anyone else. You never heard stories about him using anything to give him an edge. There were never any drug tests that were in question for him or Jordan, so why don't we just call it what it is. Lance Armstrong is riding in this year's tour clean and he is sucking at doing that. I would imagine that in the next few days or even weeks Lance will say that no matter what this will be his final Tour de France. And let me say on behalf of ALL sports fans out there, THANK YOU because now it won't be covered so stupidly on ESPN!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I went to a baseball game last week and I have to say enough is enough!!!!!!! Have you noticed that the vendors NEVER sit the FUCK down anymore?????? It makes me wonder why do they have all the stands up on the main concourse????? I mean you can't go two pitches without seeing the pizza guy, then another two pitches you see the hotdog guy and low and behold two pitches later you see the red rope guy. By the way red rope guy your product SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I remember as a kid it was a big deal for you to see a vendor selling something besides beer in the stands and if you were good your parents may let you get something. Hell, now I think that there are more vendors in the stadium than fans. Now I'm not upset about that, I'm upset at the fact that most of these vendors don't have the common FUCKIN' courtesy to kneel down so I can watch the game. You don't know how bad I want to see a foul ball come and knock all their sodas down and it could have been avoided if they were kneeling down. I really want to see a fight between the ice-cream guys who come down while one guy is going up. Really????? Do we need that many choices of ice-cream at the baseball game????? I mean sandwiches and cups of ice-cream what a dilemma, oh hey look those guys are playing baseball out there. And what happened to the beer guys? THAT is the one thing that you have to buy at the concourse now. I can't wait until the salad vendors get there own sections to go to and they can toss salad during the game. How about a gourmet chef who walks up and down the stairs asking people if they want beef wellington, and they grill it up for them as they wait. Oh, baseball you are a grand ole game that people are ruining at a record pace.

As I am writing this the U.S. Open is on. I'm watching this thinking to myself. Does anyone want to win this tournament?????? I just watched the leader triple bogey and then double bogey holes to loose 5 shots, and now he is no longer in the lead. Tiger Woods who made a brilliant charge on Saturday is doing the same damn thing. Pretty much anyone who is on top of the leaderboard is shitting the bed. They talk about how these professionals are GREAT under pressure. BULLSHIT!!!!!!!! These guys are choking just as bad as the Celtics did the other night, not scoring any points at the end of the game. That all stems from not teaching people how important winning is. If they don't realize how bad it is to loose than it's not that big of a deal!!!! Here we are watching the "best" players in the world choking shot after shot and I thought to myself that I could do the same thing. Hell, I have done the same thing at Pebble Beach. I have hit shots in the ocean and I wasn't even playing for the championship. I was just playing with some buddies. And I let them know that I was NOT happy about it. But these guys just brush it off because it's not that big of a deal to them. It used to be. I remember when players wanted to win. They wanted to step on the throat of the people playing against them. Back before we had mercy rules and trying to make everyone feel good about themselves. Take me back to the days of winning was when winning was OK to do. Now we have to make sure that everyone wins and nobody feels the pain of losing!!!!!!!!

Well, the MOST OVERRATED sporting event in the world is now upon us. The World Cup is being played as we speak in South Africa. Now, I know that soccer is lame and terrible and a real waste of time. But having stumbled across some of the coverage, because that is ALL that ESPN is showing right now. I have to ask the question, WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! This is such a lame waste of time and effort. Hey instead of using all that money to build these soccer stadiums in South Africa maybe you could have bought some food. Or you could find a way to keep elephants out of the streets there too. Have you ever seen a Raiders game where the people dress stupidly in costumes????? Ramp that up about 2 million percent and you have world cup fever. That along with all the people blowing their stupid horns, it makes it sound like there are giant mosquito's in the stadium. I know, giant mosquito's in South Africa!!!!!!!!!! But the thing that I got the biggest kick out of while trying to watch SPORTSCENTER in the middle of baseball season they decided to go back to team coverage in South Africa. All of a sudden out of nowhere they started playing music that I had only heard in The Lion King and I just started laughing out loud. I can't wait til the world cup is being played in Germany we will hear nothing but the Imperial Death march when they go to team coverage. What do they do if they ever come to America. Oh wait, this will NEVER come to America because no matter how hard ESPN and the soccer nation try, SOCCER WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER be popular here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a WHOLE lot of talk going on about the Big 12 Conference. Talks about Nebraska and Missouri going to the Big 10. Talks about the Pac 10 wanting anywhere between 2 and 6 teams from the Big 12 because they need a better TV deal. One of those teams is my beloved Texas Longhorns. Now let me ask you, who does this really benefit????? I mean would this be a Super conference that we could say that we were with the elite like the SEC??????? The answer is NO!!!!!!!!!!! The reason is because the existing Pac 10 blows DONKEY!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOO Washington State, and Oregon State!!!!!!!!!! Man oh man sign me up for this. How about this? The Big 12 gets rid of the shitty Nebraska and Missouri and then we get some teams that should be in the Big 12 to begin with. How about having Arkansas move back to where they belong?????? And since everyone is soooooo gung ho over how great TCU is then why not have them step up and take the spots??????? Then you can move the joke of Oklahomo State back to the North with Arkansas and have TCU in the south. That way the Big 12 can remain right behind the SEC as far a GREAT conferences go. Or how about this? How about the SEC looses teams like Vanderbilt and South Carolina and have Texas and another school from the Big 12 to move in to make it that much more of a GREAT conference. The Pac 10 is just trying to hedge their bets and hopes that the NCAA doesn't drop the hammer on USC in the upcoming week. Without USC the Pac 10 has and is NOTHING. It never has been and it never will be, no matter who they try to steal to make it so. And if your some shitty Pac 10 school you don't want TEXAS there to win your conference year after year after year after year after year after year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
