Voters don’t care about Steroids

Relaxing on his suspension time?

Relaxing on his suspension time?

I know steroids have been a big issue over the last decade of baseball, as more and more names come out, does anyone truly care? Based on recent All-Star balloting it doesn’t seem like the very many voters care, and I have to side with them.  I just want to see the best players no matter what they’re on. I don’t disagree with penalizing them when they are caught, but if the never are so be it. Manny is currently the fourth in the outfield race for the NL, and hasn’t played for the last 18 games! He was caught using a banned substance, and suspended for 50 games. And none of this has made any impression on the All-Star voting. You know what, I hope he makes it.

The other roid rager of this year, A-Rod, is currently third in the balloting list for AL All-Star third baseman. I guess this proves that people don’t like bad liars that are too stupid to think that they’ll get away with it.  I’ve come to believe that fans just want to see the best players on the field no matter what they did. Personally I’d vote nearly all the guys from this steroid era into the HOF, but that’s a whole other topic…

I had to add this Little John and Manny comparison that I ran across… YEEAAAHH!

This is What Happens When You Play Xbox 360

That’s weird… when I play xbox it’s always just some 12 year old in North Carolina calling me a pussy the whole time.  Everything’s cooler in Japan.


Warriors Make Kings Look Good?

Sacramento media and Kings fans are getting delusional.  The outlook is definitely bleak around these parts. Bill Bradley of the Sacramento Bee is clearly grasping at straws here, saying the Warriors’ mess makes the Kings look good.

That’s a bit of a stretch, Bill.  While it’s no secret the W’s front office has been making questionable moves, it’s ridiculous to suggest that one should be thankful to be a Kings fan.  For one, the W’s have a legitimate NBA roster.  The Kings look more like a D-League team.  Golden State has a fanbase, an arena, a coach, and could turn it around with a trade or two, or even their entire roster coming back healthy and gelling like they did during the We Believe era.  The Kings, on the other hand, have a long, long way to go.  This guy sums it up pretty well….

The Kings were last in the NBA this season in fan attendance at games. 30th out of 30.The Warriors were 9th out of 30, drawing more fans per game than teams like Boston, Phoenix, and Denver.— KingsFansBite

The more things unfold, the more the Kings are looking like the NBA version of Major League’s Cleveland Indians.  Instead of a Vegas showgirl desperately trying to tank and move to Miami, we have some Vegas hotel owners who may as well be moving boxes to Sin City.  I’m starting my script for “The Association”.  Here’s my cast of characters…

Charlie Donovan – Geoff Petrie.  The once highly-respected GM has been reduced to a meager budget and sub-par talent.  No matter how much he tries to put together a competitive squad, the resources available leave him with little to no options.

Lou Brown – the Kings’ next coach.  Whoever it is, it’ll be someone past their prime who can only sift through the excuses.  It’s either a knee thing, or an emotional thing, or a psychological thing, or a HEART ATTAAACCKKKKK

Let me get back to you, will ya, Geoff? I got a guy on the other line asking about some white walls.

Roob Baker – Spencer Hawes.  Young guy with some promise.  Like Roob throwing lasers to second, but missing simple throw backs to the pitcher, Hawes can knock down the three, but… that’s about it.

Willie Mays Hayes – Donte Greene.  Say hey! I’m a 2 guard in a power forward’s body.

Pedro Cerrano – Jason Thompson. Thompson want to dunk ball!

Hats for bats.  Keep bats warm.

Rick Vaughn – Beno Udrih.  Had a good season, got a contract, then got moved to the bullpen.

Roger Dorn – Shareef Abdur-Rahim.  Hey guys, great news…  Today, at 12:35 pm, I activated myself!

Harry Doyle – Jerry Reynolds.  Remember, fans, Tuesday is Die Hard Night. Free admission for anyone who was actually alive the last time the Kings won the title.

This Is Just Ridiculous….

While we’re waiting for Tony’s analysis of the Champions League Final today, just take a look at this. 


NBA At It Again

The refs really served up an alley-oop to Cleveland on this one!


Hong Man Choi Is Doin Work

Hong Man Choi Doin Work

Hong Man Choi Doin Work

I don’t know what the best part about this guy is….

A) His name

B) He’s a 7’2″ 350 lb Asian Beast

C) He beat the juice outta Jose Canseco

When I first checked out the grainy video of Jose Canseco’s MMA debut, I immediately assumed he was the bigger dude in the fight.  He looked a little pale, and a little, umm, Asian…..  What really tipped me off is he looked like he knew what he was doing.  Boom… red flag.

So, needless to say, it didn’t take long to figure out who was who in this fight.  Canseco was who we thought he was.  Hong Man, on the other hand, is the new Yao Ming.  What makes him better, though, is this big man is a RAPPER.  Check this out………….

Pretty safe to say his opponent is not impressed.  HOWEVER, one of the guys in his corner is bobbin his head!  All I know is Dude is poised to dethrone Apollo Creed.  With a little practice e.g his dance moves and lip-syncing skills, he could put together the best ring entrance in the history of combat sports.

Don’t say you weren’t warned!
