The Return of HDP (Hump Day Potpourri)
By Cecilio's Scribe on Oct 02, 2007 with Comments 2
For those living under a rock this past week and/or those who don’t spend hours a day reading online sports stories of all shapes and sizes, here’s what’s happening around the sports world and what’s making headlines in the blogosphere.
You can’t hold a good stoner down. It’s been over two years since Ricky Williams’s memorable 60 minutes interview. Now, after a glorious season in the CFL, the dreadlocked Rasta has applied for reinstatement. Apparently, the citizens in Denver, including members of the Safer Alternative for Recreational Enjoyment are clammering to get Ricky to the Mile High City (Larry Brown Sports).
MJ’s still enfuego. Apparently, his airness hasn’t stopped getting down. Here’s some more snapshots of 2-3 hitting the town with the Oak Man (Lion in Oil).
Isiah gets nailed again. Kind of. While it will all sort out with Dolan, MSG, Isiah and the League, there is one undeniable winner: Anucha Browne Sanders. $11.6M. Makes Matt Leinart’s child support look like pocket change. (Deadspin).
Sick, sick and sick. And Dolphins tickets were the hook? (With Leather).
Speaking of hooks…Da Meat Hook takes home NL Comeback Player of the Year (Bugs & Cranks).
A MUST-READ story on Bonds and steroid allegations (The Big Lead).
You gotta love college quarterbacks with great afros and dads who banged the drums for a virtual mainstay on Dial MTV top 10 in mid-80s. What you don’t remember Ratt? How about Winger, the Bullet Boys, Slayer, White Lion? OK, I’ll stop now (Mister Irrelevant).
In the real breaking news…The Legend of Cecilio Guante has had a big early week thanks to our loyal readers and shout-outs from the likes of The Big Lead, With Leather, 100% Injury Rate, Home Run Derby and Juiced Sports Blog (apparently, we’re the #72 most influential sports blog based on a completely unscientific study of questionable credibility…you bet we’ll take it. We’re #72! We’re #72!).
And, finally, we got an unexpected drop from ESPN senior baseball writer Rob Neyer who not only directly quoted much of our mindless rambling but even referred to Cecilio’s Scribe. Compelling and rich. The blogosphere never ceases to amaze us.
So thanks again Legend readers. You…complete…me.

C-Scribe: Did you see the article on the rockies love of the lord? I mean, Come on. My enthusiasm for them has been tempered. That said, I will pull for them to destroy all things Philadelphia. I dont see any chance that an NL team beats the AL representative.
