NFL Thoughts - Fuck Brett Favre and James Harrison, Good for Bob McNair

My thoughts on a few of the current issues going on in the NFL regarding the biggest asshole on the universe, Brett Favre, the biggest shithead in the universe, James Harrison, and my new favorite NFL owner, Bob McNair...

Booyah Giants

Good for San Fran...  Take down the Phillies.  The Giants finally had to keep coming back from deficits or ties (which against their offense is essentially a deficit)...  Nice work Charlie, bringing in Oswalt for game 4.  I Even though I'd prefer Halladay loses to Lincecum again, I almost want it to go to game 6, let Charlie start Oswalt again, and watch him get shelled...  My one friend Krysta loves Lincecum- I now love Lincecum as well...  GO GIANTS

Cocaine- It's Not Just For Losers Anymore

I know the series isn't over yet, but if Texas does end up beating the Yankees and making it to the World Series, can we all give it up for Ron Washington, a true inspiration for all the kids out there?  Any time you have a manager of a team playing in the World Series who tests positive for cocaine, but faces no repurcussions from the major leagues, you have to respect the man. 

I figured maybe after no-nonsense Nolan Ryan bought the team, there might be some sort of punishment, but then I remembered that Nolan played during the cocaine days.  The fact that he didn't institute any sort of punishment or even make a statement probably means he partied like a rock-star back then as well.  Which wouldn't be surprising- given all of his strikeouts and no-hitters, I'm sure he needed a little pick-me-up between innings a bunch of times.  Much like Josh Hamilton did before each of his home runs during the ALCS...  once an addict, always an addict...

Bud Selig - YOU ARE THE WORST COMMISSIONER IN SPORTS

Hmmm, when would be a good time to have instant replay?  I know- the playoffs!  But no, you are too much of a fucking pussy to make any decisions that are good for baseball.  You figure after your genius call to make the all-star game decide home field for the world series, you're all good.  You are WORTHLESS...  how have people not toppled the statue of you outside of Milwaukee's stadium by now?  Oh yeah, because no one gives a shit about Milwaukee...  Fuck you, Bud Selig...

Bartman Part Duex - Top 5 of Yankees Game

Hey ASSHOLE down the third base line...  are you a fucking idiot?  Apparently the answer is yes.  How about you prevent Gardner from making the catch for what would have been the third out of the inning.  I don't care that they got out of the inning, YOU SIR, ARE A PIECE OF SHIT.  Those better not be your usual seats, because if they are, and you still decided to make yourself an integral part of the game in a bad way, you should be dragged out of the stadium and let everyone beat the fucking shit out of you...  Fuck you, asshole...

Clean Underwear for Halloween

On my way to work I heard one of those radio advertisements for a local Halloween attraction - haunted house, spooky graveyard, etc.  At the end of the ad, they say "make sure you wear clean underwear."  I hate Halloween advertisements that say this.  Either they are insinuating that they are literally going to scare the shit out of you, or that you will die from fear and horror leading to the cops/medical examiner/coronor finding your tainted skivvies.

If it is the first case- that they will scare the shit out of you- wouldn't you want to already be wearing dirty underwear?  Why ruin a perfectly clean set of new underwear?  Seems like a waste...

If it is the second case- you're dead- who cares if your underwear is clean or not?  Especially if they first scared the shit out of you, and then you died- you've got that built in excuse...

Famous Original Rays? Bring on the Lone Rangers...

Great job winning the AL east Tampa Bay.  That really gave you some nice momentum heading into the playoffs.  At least you'll forever be famous as being part of the first and only postseason series where the home team lost every home game, as well as being the first team to lose any playoff series to the Texas Rangers. 

As for the Rangers, bring it on...  Though after their ginger ale celebration last night, Josh Hamilton is probably in the mood for some real gin...  Chances that there is an "AL-CO-HO-LIC" chant at Yankee Stadium for him?

Phillies Fans are Hypocrits...

Does anyone else remember a certain Yankee game a few weeks ago where Derek Jeter took first base after selling getting hit by the ball when in fact he didn't get hit by the ball?  I happen to remember a bunch of self-righteous fucks getting all up in arms when he admitted that the ball did not in fact hit him.  All of this, despite the fact that the goal of the game is to get on base and advance runners.

Well guess what happened tonight at the Phillies game I was at?  Chase Utley did the same thing.  And now everyone in Philadelphia is talking about what a heads up play it was.  Guess what, YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITS...  The very same people who tried to lambast me for being a Yankees fan about how Jeter cheated are now all excited about what a great heads-up move it was on Utley's part.  This is just another reason why the Yankees will beat the Phillies in the World Series (if the Phils get there at all).  All the Phillies know how to do is take things out of the Yankees playbook- reaching base, throwing a now hitter (since Halladay couldn't match Don and throw a perfect game in the playoffs), come back from a deficit, reach base on a phantom hit-batsman...

Also, the umps did another great job of altering a playoff game by blowing that call at second.  Where the fuck is instant replay?

Those Paps Aren't Gonna Smear Themselves...

Nice series, Twins...  Once again they blow a lead to the Yankees in the playoffs.  Much appreciated, Minnesota.  Enjoy Randy Moss...

Bug Selig = Worth Less Than Worthless

Hey Bud...  way to not approve expanded instant replay for the playoffs...  You are a lucky man that the mighty Jim Thome didn't tie up the game after your idiot umpires in Minny tried to blow the game by calling Golson's clear catch a base hit.  I realize that those same idiot umps completely screwed the Twins last year, but still, they fucking suck, and it's because Bug Selig allows them to suck, especially by not instituting a more comprehensive replay, at least during the playoffs...  Bud- you are a fucking idiot, and the people of Milwaukee are even bigger idiots for erecting a statue for you outside of their stadium (though I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bud had something to do with that to enhance his legacy)...  despite your idiocy about replay, good job on changing the rules for the catwalk in Tampa Bay- because that is a great idea- chance the rules that have been in play all year, but don't institute a better form or replay.  What a fucking idiot...

Halladay - No-Hitter... Big Deal...

Well, Halladay threw his second no-hitter of the year tonight.  But guess what?  The way the Phillies celebrated makes it obvious that they are not going to win the World Series this year.  They were so excited for one player to have an aweseme game that they forgot their whole purpose of being out there...  They will be lucky to win the NLDS.  The funny thing is that Roy H. would agree with me.  As a Yankee fan, I'm well aware of Roy's preperation for each game and how much he places on team victories rather than individual victories.  But the Phillies made it all about him tonight.  Sorry Phil's, you guys lost your World Series attempt tonight...  But I look forward to all the fake Phillies fan's pretending to be heartbroken when it happens...

Also, I heard multiple Phillies fans asking "was that the first no-hitter in the playoffs?"  Just more proof that the Phillies are only good for setting records for losses, as few if any knew about a no-hitter that was even better than Halladay's...  Don Larsen's PERFECT GAME.  The team... THE NEW YORK YANKEES...  Phillies, you guy's were lucky we let you play in the New Yankee Stadium last year...  this year, you'll be lucky to get there, and you'll have no one to blame but the two Roy's...  you guys can start crying now...
