Why I Think The N.F.L Dropped The Ball With Spygate

May 14th, 2008

The whole “Spygate” ordeal has really grown old hasnt it? Heres what i want to know: why didnt the N.F.L. and commissioner Goodell see fit to make the patriots forfeit the jets game where they got caught. i mean,they fined em 745k, took a first round pick from em. they obviously did somethin pretty seriously wrong, so why did they leave cheaters in a position to prosper? the undefeated record is in my eyes one of the most hallowed in the league, that being said how could they allow it to even be threatened by a team that was caught CHEATING? kinda makes a guy wonder what the hells goin on doesnt it? for those who would say the pats were an awesome team who didnt need to cheat…well that may be,but then why did they? it leaves a dark cloud over the entire organization and completely undermined any credibility they had with non new england fans. i am a die hard Packer fan, and i heard some announcers say ” one day,it might be the lombardi/belichick trophy”…………..i just want to clear this up from the Packer Nation’s perspective, the LAST person who deserves to share the Lombardi Trophy is bill belichick, he isnt half the man or coach Lombardi was. if they want to immortalize belichick, i suggest creating a ” Nice Try, You Cheatin Asshole” trophy.

Hats Off To Greg Maddux

May 11th, 2008

Greg Maddux became the ninth pitcher in big league history to win 350 games, reaching the plateau in his fifth try and leading the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

With Adrian Gonzalez hitting a three-run homer and the Padres ending a five-game losing streak, Mad Dog held the Rockies to an unearned run - set up by his three-base throwing error - and three hits in six innings. He struck out one and walked none.

Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances, extending his big league career record to 530.

The 42-year-old Maddux (3-3) improved to 350-217 in 23 big league seasons. It’s another milestone to go along with his four NL Cy Young Awards, one World Series championship and a record 17 Gold Glove Awards.

Hoffman usually keeps the final ball from his saves, unless the starting pitcher reaches a milestone.

“Trev gave me the ball. That was cool,” said Maddux, the only active pitcher with 350 wins and the first to reach the mark since Roger Clemens did it last July 22, against Minnesota. “I’ll take any free ball I can get. I’ll give it to my kid. Let him go play with it somewhere.”( the above are clips from an article posted in the Milwaukee Journal )

The Drawing Prize Is Card “6/9 Bush”, Thats Gotta Be 1/1 Right??

May 6th, 2008

NO, its not right. Even though it is somewhat humorous, doesn’t make it a “1/1″ card! I got sooooo tired of that on ebay………..” splashed with my neighbor kid’s diaper shit,1/1!!” Come on, we all want to sell our stuff but saying things like “1/1, his jersey number!” and the number on the card is 27 of 999 just chaps my ass. Of course there is only one number 27 in a sequence to 999! There is also only one number 999, doesn’t make the whole set 1/1. The fact that its the players jersey number does make it a bit more special , but doesn’t make it magically change its stamped number on the back. For those of you who don’t know what a “1/1″ card really is, please consider this before you misrepresent something……its a card with “1/1″ stamped on it! You’d think that would be an easy one….(right??)
