Hope was Right

The 2007 Women’s World Cup has proved the importance of the Status Quo.
-Brazilians and Germans are tremendous at Soccer.
-The Aussies are full of heart.
-You always choose the hot blonde women from Washington.
-American Soccer coaches over think their tactics and act like idiots.
-The English Football Association can't field a team to get into the final four.
-Only losers like me watch women’s soccer at all, let alone at 6 in the morning.
-Rob Stone is the best.

Thanks to an improved team and an easy schedule, UConn Football team is 14 minutes away from starting 5-0. CT football fans still act lame. There is an elitist element to UConn sports that works with some of the other sports, but Football is a game of the masses. It's time to start some real traditions folks. Leaving in the 3rd quarter does not count. Plus, the rest of the schedule is brutal, with Louisville, West Virginia, and Rutgers in the mix.

Watching the Red Sox win the East was enjoyable, but I have never been a fan of "Lets celebrate like crazy for winning the division." Many a late September party has crumbled into an early October bitchfest. Despite the 12 year drought, I don't know if it was warranted having Cinco Ocho running around with a BUD Light box on his head. Now, if they win the WS at home this year, then obviously all bets are off….

I'm off to the place where the dreams of millions have been shattered like cheap Walmart wine glasses…. Atlantic City...Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik, aka "the fight that saved boxing #24".

Also, some of the chosen few who read this have asked about the C's preseason game at The Sun. I am going to make it, I'm sitting courtside section 26. Oh to be able to blow my salary on sporting events!

So let it be written, So let it be done….

Don't Tase Me Bro....

Your catchphrase of the fall ladies and gentlemen.

The recent swoon by the Red Sox has me wishing Tito and the lads could videotape opposing managers giving essential basestealing signs and specific pitching signs during thr game. PLAYoffs?

The recent news that Mike Terico is going to take the afternoon spot on ESPN radio begs the question, can a sports anchor's overexposure cause sports radio to suck even more?

I love the Mets. I could manage this team and win 89 games. What in the name of Billy Martin is Willie Randolph doing? The Nationals?...The Freaking Nationals?.......Meet the Mets....Don't Tase me Bro....

Is there a more bizzarre sport then College Football? It's nice to see Randy Edsall has followed the Jim Calhoun playbook; play awful teams early to build the fans hopes so they can be somehow disappointed when West Virgina puts up 30 in the first half.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish suck. period. But maybe now I can get tickets for Columbus Day weekend.

I have been asking around to find out if Dustin Pedroia is the greatest 2b in the History of the Red Sox. Jerry Remy and Jody Reed have been getting plenty votes.

The Juice is out on bail. I'll have to hide my signed "White Bronco Chase" poster.

High School sports are a trip. They are the closest thing to organized fascism outside of the Republican Party. They amount of media coverage it now gets is a sign of the apocalypse. And yet, nationwide participation is up. Reason number 7 million as to why Americans cannot read. Just amazing.

The recent commericals to try and build excitment for the 2007/2008 Boston Bruins is pure comedy. Your Boston Bruins ...At least your not getting tasered.

The Celtics are coming...The Celtics are coming.....

Pats role....

So the highlight of Sunday evening was watching Adalius Thomas excellerate like a sprinter after picking off Philip Rivers. Even a terrible loss by the Sox was not enough to dampen the fact that the Pats beat the Chargers down like rented mules. It was a sweet victory.

Obviously, Schilling should have thrown it in Jeters ear. Why is it that Pedro was the only Red Sox pitcher to recognize that intimidating Jeter was 90% the battle?

The second highlight of the evening was 30 Rock winning for Best Comedy. I have seen every episode, and feel it is the best comedy on TV not currently airing on FX.

Huge Day

Sox vs, Yanks
Pats vs. Chagers
Schilling vs. Clemons
The Pats D vs. LT
Bill Belichek vs. The World
Tiger vs. The Field
The Colbert Report vs The Daily Show
Grays Anatomy vs. House
Alec Baldwin vs. His Daughter
Me vs. The 50 "5 paragraph essays" I still have to grade by Monday...

I could go on forever. It is simply one of those epic days during the year when all our modern escapist traditions come together in an orgy of entertainment that precludes anyone from getting anything done. It allows all Americans to feel like one of those saucy frenchman who spends everyday after lunch lounging around a local bistro drinking and smoking to their hearts desire.

And for those of you wondering, I will get the essays done. Those 35 Prehistory tests on the other hand will wait until Monday during my first period prep.

I was asked on Friday what I'll be watching Sunday Night. The plan is to watch the Red Sox and listen to the great Gil Santos and Gino Capaletti announce the Pats game. It is the best I can do to ensure both games get the attention they deserve.

Man United's early struggles seem to be working themselves out. Rooney's rehab is coming around and the lads continues to scrap out victories. This weekends performance against Everton was poor, but the victory was sweet nonetheless.

Following the President's lead, the Dallas Cowboys just announced a "Mission Accomplished" on the 2007/08 season. Great work T.O.

-Just Win Today

Revamped...Again

I am done trying to cure the world of its ills. I just don't have the time or the energy. I will continue my progression into a total cliche with a sports focused blog where I rip off Bill Simmons and half a million others. I figure this is the forum that will best allow me to procrastinate to my fullest in this, the busiest year I will ever endure.....
