Ping-Pong/Table Tennis

Whatever you call it... I played some today.

I'm not very good at it.

The Tom Brady Rule

Aka... quarterbacks are pansies, the Patriots are stupid, and Roger Goodell loves himself the Cheaters. Screw the league.

Seriously, you might as well put the bastards (QBs, that is) in skirts. And make it illegal to blitz.

Hell, forget blitzing... you might as well make it illegal to have a defender on the field.

Look... it's football. It's physical. People get hurt, it's life.

And it's not like the NFL would've made this rule if it was Jake Delhomme or Brooks Bollinger or someone... it's simply a by product of their love affair with the Cheaters and Tom Brady.

I hate it, absolutely hate it. Plus, they're not changing their OT rule. And it seems like the stupid TV contracts will stick.

The NFL... where ruining the "greatness that was" happens.


On the other hand, it's kinda cool that the sports are driving me away from watching them. It gives me time to do other things.

Dear Players Unions & Agents

You all suck.
Big time.

That is all.

Recession? Seriously?

What's with all the "we're in a recession" talk? I mean... first you have the Yankees spending $243.5 million (!!!!) on 2 pitchers. God, if they'd spent that much money in trying to help the country instead... or even if they had just helped the Arena Football League and help those guys keep all the players/coaches/etc. employed right now.

And then you have this from Carlos Boozer... (emphasis mine)

"I'm opting out. No matter what, I'm going to get a raise regardless," Boozer told ESPN.com. "I am going to opt out, I don't see why I wouldn't, I think it's a very good business decision for me and my family, but I'd also like to see what happens with the Jazz and stay here."

Nice to know that when everyone else is struggling to get along, he's planning on increasing his salary from $12+ million to $13+ million. Because that $1 million is obviously going to make the difference between life & death for him, even while we're all getting by on a whole hell of a lot less than that.

I mean, I'm a "poor college student". I'm making less than $8/hour, and I'm seeing food prices shoot up insanely and tuition costs shoot up insanely, and more. Where do I sign up for a $1 million pay raise in a poor economy?

It would really be nice to see someone (anyone) show a bit of ability to realize that the country is kinda slumping and that maybe there's better way to spend money than $161 million for 1 pitcher. And I highly doubt it'll be Mark Teixeira showing that compassion.
