Posted Thursday April 09, 2009, About: Joba-Yogi feud over before it's over

Joba gets a DUI and the only thing we criticize is his comment about Yogi Berra? The Angels just lost a picther due to a drunk driver. I think the greater infraction here is that Joba was driving drunk. The fact that he would ridicule a person due to his height (which is every bit as genetic as your race) just shows that he is a bigot. I sincerely hope that he loses his fastball and is out of the majors as soon as possible. Maybe he can sell stock with John Rocker.

What a complete idiot. Yes, an unconscious man (as big as a football player) was dragged from the elevators, past the guard who checks room cards at the elevator lobby, through the Bellagio at 5:30 in the morning and NOBODY saw it. God help us all if anybody believes this! He should have said he was at Sahara, maybe it could happen there, except nobody in the NFL would stay at the Sahara.

As an A&M fan, I can't wait until we have a problem coach like Mack Brown to complain about. Maybe in 10 years we will criticize Mike Sherman for only winning 10 games and not 11. Some Longhorn faithful might like to run Mack Brown off, but not anybody calling the shots.

Yes, crime has gone up in Houston since Katrina, but we are still not in the top 10 in murder rates. Look to DC, Detroit and St. Louis, among others, for that honor.
