Gamecock Should Be Hung By His Grundle 

Legendary American swimmer Michael Phelps stated Wednesday to The Baltimore Sun that he can not commit to competing in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in wake of British tabloid photos that apparently capture “MP” blazing cannabis from a bong during a party last November at the University of South Carolina.

Everyone reading this entry has done something in their past they are not proud of, and I mean each and every one of you.

 

Whether you stole a pack of gum from a convenience store or hit a parked car without leaving a note, you felt guilty the next day.  But you learned from your mistakes, and hopefully you earned the forgiveness of those you hurt.

We always here about things like this happening in another town in a different county or in a different state altogether; events that have no bearing to our lives whatsoever. We walk into another school while on a basketball trip and see a glass case perched on a wall close to the entrance which has an asortment of different items arranged around a picture set in the middle. The pictures differ from town to town, sometimes it may be just a normal school picture of a student with small heirlooms hanging around the image, other times it may be a student's athletic picture and his or her varsity letter nearby. There always seems to be a small passage included that can be read, describing the person's life and passions. In every case though, the glass case holds the same meaning, a memorandum of a life taken too early.

With the first practice under their belt, it's a good time to name the starting lineup for the 2008 season. OK, it's just my projected starting lineup. As expected, there will be a few changes from last year. Those will be highlighted with an explanation to follow:

As the first post to this blog I thought the best place to begin would be to discuss what it means to be a New York Jets fan.  While it may be simple to define what exactly a ‘fan’ is, we Jets fans have a far more complicated relationship with our team then the word allows.  Dramatic irony be damned, hope springs eternal on Woody Johnson’s brow.  Having seen failure at every turn we give in to our anger, at once comforted by the hope of the preseason but confident enough in our knowledge of history to be assured of a good draft pick come spring.  The struggle is masochistic; a perversion, but a pleasure nonetheless.

The Chicago Cubs lost another close one at Wrigley today and now their record is 1-3.  This is not cause for panic--yet. It is an observation of wonderment. How else would the Cubs start the season?  If they were 3-1. Chicago would be hyperventilating -- with images of red, white, and blue, bunting decorating the field. Well, it's not post-season yet. Not by a long shot. Not to be decided now, nor in May, or June. Unless Soriano pulls a double-hammy.

The answer, of course, is not as much as they think they’re worth.

From rotoworld.com: “The Royals and Brett Tomko have reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract.  It's so ridiculous to complain about what Alex Rodriguez is making when baseball is swimming in so much cash that Tomko can disappoint organization after organization and still receive $3 million. The soon-to-be 35-year-old had a 5.55 ERA while pitching in two of the National League's bigger ballparks last season. Once in 10 years -- with the Giants in 2004 -- has he actually met the expectations a team had for him. There's simply way too much money being made by baseball if he's worth $3 million.”
