Get Me Some More Lidocaine, Stat!Hope everyone had a good opening week of 2008. Our look at a few of the week’s top stories.
Rocket Ass
Clemens is trying to inject Americans with whatever Kool-Aid he’s been given by his lawyers and other advisors, now claiming that B-12 and lidocaine were all he shot into his ass. We’re not drinking the Kool-Aid, buddy.
Bill Stewart Bashing
Like ES, it was hard not to get pretty excited about Stewart leading the Mountaineers to victory on Wednesday night. And while I’m never a fan of loudmouthed boosters with zero football experience making comments on football-related decisions, he may just have a point. Consider the situation in a non-football environment. Look at Stewart’s resume. This is the equivalent of a career middle manager who’d had one stint as president of a fairly small company (VMI) and performed poorly (8-25) getting a coveted CEO position at a fortune 100 corporation. We’ll see…
Jayhawks Surprise
Kansas beat VaTech last night in the FedEx Orange Bowl proving a lot of us wrong. Just one more sterling example of why I no longer put my money where my mouth is. I would’ve bet the house on the Hokies. Other observations from Thursday night:
Mangino Has No Neck: I’ve never seen anyone – coach, player or other human life form – whose head seems to somehow disappear into the rest of their body like Mangino. Really, it took me a while to get past this.
Fox hangover: Thank goodness we have a few days off until the BCS National Championship. Fan torture could be described as having to watch/listen to three consecutive nights of FOX college football commentary and production. Luckily, we’ve got the A-Team of Davis and Brenneman on Monday night. Wait a second, there’s no way that can be right? Can it?
Reesing is Doug Flutie: When was the last guy you watched at the major college level who had to roll out so much in order to get the ball over the line? I kinda like the kid.
Parcells Cleans House
Not surprisingly, the Tuna has started cleaning house down in Miami. Nothing enlightening really to add here, it’s hard to argue that Cameron did anything to deserve another shot. Here’s my only takeaway, and I’m sure thousands are already there…I’m sick of Parcells. I used to be a huge fan, and I understand that guys who have football in their blood have a hard time taking themselves off the sauce. However, with each passing year, Tuna seems more like an egomaniac driven by money, himself and very little else.
In lighter news…
Tom Brady didn’t always have that hunky Stetson look, as his 2000 combine picture reveals (With Leather, Towel Road).
