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.
flavor/cougar/milf/snowflake of the day: heidi klum how awesome is her guitar hero commercial. seal is one lucky man.
pick up line of the week.. sent in by jimmy downtown: "were u raised on a farm? bc it appears u know how to raise a cock."
cc sabathia needs to man up and sign the deal with the yanks. why? bc as a man with pride, he needs to prove his value by performing at a high level in the toughest city to play any sport.. AND.. he needs to show the world that he can outperform the current best pitcher in the world which plays for the same city in the Quad-A. yes, cc sabathia should join the yanks just to prove that he is as good as johan and start a great cross town rivalry. and if that's not enough.. cc can be the first to build a great pitching legacy in the NEW yankee stadium. what more do u need.
we go from the craziest ny athlete.. to the dumbest.. how dumb is Cheddar Plax? probably the dumbest man of the year. trust me when i say this, no one in the ny metro area cares anymore that u caught the gw td in the super bowl. dominick hixon is better than u anyways. he's so damn lucky the nfl/giants cannot take away his signing bonus. he should thank mike vick for that one. nfl changed rules about taking away signing bonuses during the vick ordeal. i say he should go away for the 3.5 years. i will be outraged if plax gets off free. again.. mike vick, the most electrifying player in the nfl, is in jail.. in PRISON.. for a few dogs dying. dogs!! and there's a pretty good chance plax will walk a free man even tho unregistered guns in the state of new york calls for a mandatory 3.5 years of upstate turd burglarizing. not fair.
huge bcs controversy. we all saw it coming.. the 3 way tie in the big12 between texas, okla, and tt. texas is getting massively screwed by the bcs and big12. i dont care who u are or what u do.. u cannot convince me that OU deserves to be #2 bcs. head-to-head wins should count for a hell of a lot more than anything else.. and if u think otherwise, ur an idiot. in fact, if u think OU is deserving of the #2 bcs.. tell me where u live so i can come by and punch u in the mouth. lucky for texas fans and all objective college fball fans out there.. the AP recognizes their own national champion and texas has a really good chance of taking that title.
its jimmy v week. if u feel the giving mood.. and want to contribute towards finding a cure for cancer, u should log on and donate. http://www.jimmyv.org/ u wanna be inspired? its kinda lengthy.. but the dude is very well spoken and motivational. makes me not wanna sit in the garage with the car running any more.
he shout outs rutgers! the tears start flowin around the 6 minute mark.
I wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you tend to give gift cards around the holidays, you need to be careful that the cards will be honored after the holidays. Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankrupcy Planning). Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be cautious about.
Circuit City (filed Chapter 11) Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine's to close 150 stores nationwide Eddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January Cache will close all stores Talbots closing down specialty stores J. Jill closing all stores (owned by Talbots) Pacific Sunwear (also owned by Talbots) GAP closing 85 stores Footlocker closing 140 stores mo re to close after January Wickes Furniture closing down Levitz closing down remaining stores Bombay closing remaining stores Zales closing down 82 stores and 105 after January Whitehall closing all stores Piercing Pagoda closing all stores Disney closing 98 stores and will close more after January. Home Depot closing 15 stores 1 in NJ ( New Brunswick ) Macys to close 9 stores after January Linens and Things closing all stores Movie Galley Closing all stores Pep Boys Closing 33 stores Sprint/Nextel closing 133 stores JC Penney closing a number of stores after January Ethan Allen closing down 12 stores. Wilson Leather closing down all stores Sharper Image closing down all stor~s K B Toys closing 356 stores Loews to close down some stores Dillard's to close some stores
where was this all season? rutgers started off the season 1-5.. the starting qb was boo'd off the field, and schiano's coaching was questioned. since then, rutgers peeled off 6 straight wins. it was a very impressive stretch of games, capped off by the train that was run on louisville on national tv. in their 6 straight wins, rutgers outscored opponents 243-94. lucky for rutgers, there were many high profile recruits at the game too.
it was senior nite... and the most notable senior had a career game. qb mike teel set rutgers records for td passes and yards. he went 21-26 for 447 yards and 7 tds! its hard to do that even in video games! before the start of the season, i stated that rutgers could potentially be top 10 team bc of their passing attack and experienced defensive secondary. if they played like they have been for the past 6 games, who knows what bcs bowl they could be going to. by rule, the win against louisville made rutgers eligible for a big east at large bcs bid. of course they are not going to get one, but its kind of cool for rutgers to be even eligible for it.
did u know the san diego chargers woop'd on oakland last nite? if u didnt, ur now alone. nfl network is retarded. most of the nation misses games on nfl network bc its only serviced by directv. this weeks game.. raiders v chargers was almost blacked out in california bc of low ticket sales. nfl network bought the remainder of open seats just to avoid black out. nothing new to detroit tho.. lions games have been blacked out in detroit this season for a few weeks. thats just not right. black outs in ur own city. shame.
im not one to care much for hockey.. but sean avery is a gangster:
the girl he is referring to is former flavor of the day elisha cuthbert..
sure his stats are good, but are they of one who is AL MVP? i think not. first of all.. the mvp signifies the player which the team cannot win without. and its pretty clear the mvp of the bosox was manny ramirez. also, i highly doubt opposing teams were pitching around pedroia to get to big papi. im fairly sure it was the other way around. just like how big papi was protected by manny.. pedroia is now protected by papi. of course the midget is gonna see fastball after fastball when there is a huge threat who bats after him. pitchers dont want to face papi with runners on base. pedroia is a nice role player. he is not AL MVP. and thank god he didnt get paid like one. 6 years for $40mil. there is a little justice in this world. on a side note, edgar renteria got 2 years for $19mil.
taking all the fun away:
YOU MUST KNOW *77 This might be a re read...but always good to be reminded. I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77. It was about 1:00p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc. Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice,and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way. Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right20to keep going to a safe & quiet place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *77 like Lauren did. Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful information. *Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link to state trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *77. Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life. This applies to ALL 50 states.
the word "oriental" is not very pc. but its ok for u to say it if ur over the age of 40. people over 40 get a pass bc they just dont know any better.. its not their fault for being brought up during a very racialist time.
