Monday Musings: The Fix Is In!

A few random notes for a Monday that seemed to never end...


This just in! Michael Vick is a moron. I don’t care what they charge him with or not, how dumb do you have to be to even have your dry cleaner’s name associated with this garbage when you’re an NFL superstar? Here’s a good idea… let’s put him in a steel cage with 10 trained fighting dogs and see how fast he really is. Sick ‘em!

...

Barry Bonds’ home run chase has been anything but exciting for me. But as he now sits two away from arguably the most hallowed record in all of sports, I want to be watching when it happens. Why else would I be sitting through a Braves-Giants game on a Monday night? And like him or not, Bud Selig has no business not being on that field when he does break the record. It’s your sport. It’s your rules. You couldn’t find a way to penalize him for cheating. Now get your ass out of your seat and go congratulate him.

...

I hope the mob gets to NBA ref Tim Donaghy before the cops do…and so does anyone else who was in on the fix. I don’t know who’s stupider – the mobsters who think they can get away with it or the dumbshits who agree to it. On second thought, throw them all in the cage with Vick and the dogs too.

...

Six innings. Five hits. Two runs. Three walks. Six strikeouts. Ninety-five pitches. One win.

Not breathtaking numbers by any means, but without question, the most congratulations-deserving stat line of the night, and maybe the baseball season so far.

I got goose bumps at times watching Jon Lester take the mound for the Red Sox after being diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago.

For everything that’s wrong with the world of sports today, watching this kid make a triumphant comeback was awe-inspiring. I couldn’t help cheer for him.

And I don’t even like the Red Sox.

...

Four days until the defending NFC champion Chicago Bears report for their first practice. A big thank you to the Cubs for keeping me distracted this long from the uncertainty surrounding Da Bears. I’ve never been so anxious and so worried for the start of an NFL season. Thank God we play in the worst division in football. We’ll make the playoffs again. Book it.
