Clemens hires a Private Investigator….

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Presumably to “get at the truth” behind McNamee’s story.

Maybe when that PI is done, OJ can hire him to find the “real killers”….

Karma sure is a Bitch, ain’t it Roger?????

Why the BCS Sucks

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

The BCS did a great job of ensuring that none of the top teams would face each other. It would be hard to argue that any other team was playing as well as Oklahoma, USC and Virginia Tech at the end of the season. LSU lost to Arkansas and barely sneaked by Tennessee. Ohio State lost to Illinois at home and both kind of backed into the championship game. A win by any of USC, Oklahoma or Virginia Tech is not going to be looked at as very impressive. West Virginia is a 2 loss team in a bad conference who lost at home to a pathetic Pitt squad. Kansas is decent team that doesn’t have a signature win the entire year. Honestly, I think their best win was against Central Michigan. They didn’t have to play OU or Texas, and lost to Missouri. Not sure how that qualifies them for a BCS bid. Illinois lost 3 games this year including a terrible Iowa team and a very below average Michigan team. If USC pounds them by 20, what does that really prove?

It is hard to argue that Va Tech should be in the Championship game over LSU since they were embarassed on National TV early in the season @ LSU, but they at least deserved a chance to play either Oklahoma or USC.

Outside of the LSU / Ohio State game, I am not excited about any of the other BCS games. In fact, I will be surprised if USC, OU, and Va Tech don’t win by a combined 50 points. And Georgia against Hawaii… really… If you couldn’t bet on that game, would you go out of your way to watch it?

The BCS Committee proved once again that nothing is done in the best interest of the fans.

Commish - Mitchell Report

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

It is unfortunate, but the team that is going to suffer the most due to the Mitchell Report is the Milwaukee Brewers.  Because of the Commissioner’s past ownership of the Brewers, I believe he will have to show that he is impartial.  i don’t think he has any choice but to suspend Eric Gagne.  Let’s start off by saying that Gagne was an idiot for having steroids sent directly to the Dodgers clubhouse.  I mean his actions make it clear that these players believed they were above the law when it came to steroid use.   Selig has no choice but to suspend Gagne, who despite his failure in Boston, will be the most notable of all the punishments that are levied due to his report
