Posted Wednesday June 24, 2009, About: Bruschi undecided on Pats future

"And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc!' and LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR,
That this foul deed shall smell upon the earth
With carrion men groaning for burial."

That's Shakespeare, not Pink Floyd. Hippie.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: Bruschi undecided on Pats future

While there is no concrete evidence that Bruschi ever took steroids, his ultra-fast recovery from his stroke most certainly raised some eyebrows. Coupled with the win-at-all-costs culture of the Patriots organization (videotaping practices, stealing calls) and Rodney Harrison's positive test, I don't feel that it is unfair to speculate.
The Patriots are a dirty team. He's one of their leaders. It's unfair, yes; but one must be held accountable for the company that he keeps.

Oh, and by the way, before you start your crusade to kick idiots who think that Bruschi was a juicer off the internet: one little tidbit. Steroid use increases the so-called "bad" cholesterol in your body, which can lead to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. In addition, steroid users' rapid weight gain and high blood pressure often increase the odds of a caridovascular event.

Is it a smoking gun? No. Is it reason to speculate? Yes.

It's over. Please fire Groh!!!! George Welsh isn't doing anything. At least he was good for seven wins a year.

Cutler may have a stronger arm than Brett Favre.... but does he have a stronger arm than Chad Pennington????

I'm sure she had a nice Possum belly on her.

Posted Wednesday February 13, 2008, About: Snag in Pacers-Nets trade

The Pacers would be lucky if they could unload J.O. for some chewed up gum and a wad of pocket lint. Nobody wants his contract.
They oughtta try and work out a deal with the hospital that is always treating him. Trade him to the hospital for a wheel chair and a defibrillator.

Posted Monday January 21, 2008, About: Colts hopeful of Dungy return

Dungy will win another Super Bowl. Every time people think that the Colts are headed back into the cellar, they pull out an improbable season. This is the first season since 2002 that the team who knocked us out of the playoffs didn't go on to win the Super Bowl. I posit the question: If there were no Patriots, how many Super Bowls would the Colts have won????

Posted Thursday January 17, 2008, About: Pacers suspend Tinsley for incident

I'm surprised that you guys view this man as a leader. He spends more time IN court than he does ON one. He's always injured. And he's constantly making bad decisions. He's like a toned-down Pacman Jones.

But I better watch what I say. He just hired a bodyguard, you know?

Posted Monday October 01, 2007, About: Romo's contract doesn't worry Jerry

The Cowboys suck. The NFC is a joke and it's still only week four. They'll be lucky if they can finish 4-2 in their own division. God help them when they get to the playoffs.
Remember a couple things, Cowpokes:
1. Romo fumbled away your playoff hopes last year. Has he earned that money, yet?
2. Romo looked like a stud for the first few games or so last year, then hit a wall. I got to watch him look silly first-hand against the Redskins in Washington. He still has a lot of developing to do.
3. The NFC is miles below the AFC in terms of quality of competition. The Pats are gonna hand it to this clown. Even if he makes it to the Super Bowl, he doesn't stand a chance against Indy or New England.

Dallas is so starved for a winner that they're willing to turn every frog that comes to town into a prince. Remember when you guys thought Hutchinson was the next big thing?
I rest my case. I hope J.J. burns fifty mil on this clown. There's nothing better than seeing the Cowboys cling to mediocrity (**COUGH** Dave Campo).
