risky business

one of the best songs ever. and yes lil wayne is on it... again!

here are the lyrics if u wanna sing along.
merry xmas, you are very welcome.





this isnt such a bad song either. my gay albanian friend sent it to me:







the mlb winter meetings are heating up. both ny teams have made huge signings to address need areas already.
my initial response to hearing the mets signing k-rod was.. wow, he's just the guy they need. if the mets had a reliable closer the past couple of years, they would've probably made the playoffs. relief pitching is a huge need for the mets. well, i guess that could be said for just about any team. anyways.. relief pitching has been an achilles heel and mlb save record setting k-rod is the answer.. right?
tony kornheiser had an interesting twist to the k-rod signing. first, is k-rod worth all that money? did omar minaya once again overpay a player which no other team was getting close to paying their offer?
second, k-rod broke bobby thigpen's record of 57 saves by closing out 62 games. thats pretty damn impressive... 62 games is 1/3 of the season. so, what did thigpen do after his record breaking 57 saves? in the seasons to follow, the most saves he got was 30 and his era blew up. did thigpen ruin his arm? what if the same goes for k-rod?
and finally third, why did the angels let k-rod go without a fight? did the angels know something the rest of the mlb doesnt? a closer is very valuable these days.. and for the angels to let go of a record setter without any offers.. well, thats just odd.
more importantly.. the mets traded for jj putz. i think he may end up being a lot more valuable than k-rod. putz is slated to be the setup man for k-rod.. but is very capable of closing games and possibly dethroning k-rod if any problems arise.

and now for cc. a day after cc was reported as saying he does not want to be a yankee.. he goes ahead and agrees to a record deal for a pitcher. wtf?
so his deal has a clause that after 3 years, he can opt out. so basically right now, he's on a 3 year $69mil deal. if he and his fam like the nyc metro area.. then i guess he'll be wiping his ass with $20's from the rest of the 70+ millions.
peter gammons had a good point.. cc has thrown a lot of innings and who knows what kind of shape he'll be in 3 yrs from now. maybe he'll still be a stud, or maybe he'll gain more weight and be useless. in either case.. the 4th year mark is a good time to reassess the contract. if the yanks win a world series within the 3 years.. then no matter what, its good money spent.
yanks are also close to signing aj burnett. if they have to sign burnett, derek lowe, or ben sheets.. i would prefer burnett, only bc lowe is 4 years older than aj.. and ben sheets, well, he's softer than cotton candy. doubt sheets can pitch in a major market too.




carmelo anthony scored 33 pts in the 3rd quarter the other nite. that's just crazy. 33pts! mj and wilt never even did that. he's got a lot of critics, but u cannot deny that he is potentially top 2 creative scorers in the nba.



matt bonner has the best nickname... "the big red rocket".







rutgers fired AD Robert Mulcahy. why?? i dont get it.
the school is slowly turning into a decent sports institution.. and they go fire the AD that brought in greg schiano and fred hill. im not sure, and feel lazy so i wont look it up, but he couldve also been the person who brought in vivian stringer.
rutgers has obviously decided that sports are not the priority, and academics is. i hope this doesnt mean the football stadium wont get built now.





graham harrell will not be invited to the heisman show. why not?

the man threw for 48 td's and 6 int's. he may not win the heisman, but i think a 1 loss season and his #'s are worthy enough to get invited at least. just add another reason to think ncaa football is retarded. whoever is in charge or whatever committee board there is should all be fired. ncaa football is a f'n joke right now. nothing is proper.





cuttino mobley retired. his spot on the roster will be taken by pat ewing jr.





former cinncinnati bearcat great corie blount played 11 years in the nba.. and earned millions.
he was recently arrested for possession of 29 pounds of weed. the po po also confiscated 3 guns.. one of which was an assault rifle.



last week, i wasnt sure if i heard it right.. it was early morning and i was not completely coherent.. i couldve sworn one of the news clips was about a cruise getting attacked by pirates off the coast of yemen. yup.. u are probably just as shocked to hear this as me. yemen?? i thought that was a made up place from the show friends! jk.

seriously tho.. i didnt know that pirates really existed. thats scary.
