Farewell Brett Favre

It is being announced on ESPN that Brett Favre told the Minnesota Vikings last night that he will retire.

I really thought he would play one more year so this shocks me a bit. Minnesota has a good shot to get back into the playoffs again and go all the way. I have always enjoyed watching him play and he will be missed.

More than anything though, I hope we don't have to go through all the retired, now un-retired stuff again. Stay gone Brett. Your last season was your best season stats wise, go out on top.

Game Over

Well Lebron has moved onto become a member of the Miami Heat. I think it is safe to say next years NBA Finals will be between the Lakers and the Heat. Lebron with D-Wade and Chris Bosh. It just isn't fair.

I feel bad for the people of Cleveland. They really haven't had much luck with sports in that town. John Elway will be forever famous for screwing the Browns out of the Superbowl with "The Drive." In 1997 blowing Game 7 of the World Series. Now this...the kid from your state takes off to Miami Beach. I am sorry people of Cleveland. You deserve better.

There is one bright spot...one of the best new shows on TV, "Hot in Cleveland" has just been signed to another year. No more Lebron but at least there is always Betty White.

How Much Longer Until Football Season???

I am bored. The Cubs suck. No arena football. World Cup???? Whatever. I need some football. My heart did beat a little faster this morning when I saw Yahoo is starting to let people sign up to play fantasy football. We must be getting closer. I got out my calendar and counted it out. 95 more days. That is 3 more months people! So I have to come up with something to keep me occupied for 3 more long heart-wrenching months.

After much thought I have come up with a list of things to have done by September 9th...aka the first NFL game that really counts.

1. I will have read at least 10 books. To some people that will seem simple but I am telling you it took me 6 months to get through that "Twilight" book. Whatever the 2nd one was called.

2. My bedroom closet will be cleaned out. I can barely open the door right now. By Sept. 9th, I will be able to have a small cocktail party in there.

3. I will have bought a new Steelers jersey for this season since I had to get rid of Santonio Holmes and don't feel too good about wearing Roethlisberger out in public right now. Thinking... I don't know...maybe Polamalu away jersey or Mendenhall home jersey.

4. I will finally make a budget and try to live by it. I spend so much money on stupid stuff all the time. This way I will have more money for Domino's Pizza delivery once the season starts. No more looking for loose change in the sofa.

5. I will have written both my regular bucket list and my sports bucket list down somewhere and put in a notebook so I can look at it and make a plan to make it all happen. Life is too short and I have a ton of things I want to see and do.

6. I will work out 6 days a week at least 30 minutes per day. This way I will be big and strong and able to throw heavy things at my TV when the Steelers lose.

7. I will watch all 5 seasons of "Weeds". Heard too many great things about the show...I need to see what it is all about.

8. I will take one more writing class. This time one that makes you actually write so that maybe one day this might be a decent blog.

I Suck Sooooooooooooooo Bad

That the terrible Raiders have cut me!

Where in the world does JaMarcus go from here?? Is there any team lower than the Raiders that would take him?? Another wasted #1 pick.

Ben, I Love You, But I Am Not IN Love With You

Dear Ben,

As you know I have been in love with you for some time now. Your confidence, your ability to twist your way out of trouble and well the fact that you hate tomatoes as much as I do was the real clincher.

But Ben, you are being accused of rape every 5 minutes and now this. Look at your hair. It is just not right. It is the mullet from hell. You just got off the hook yet again and hold a press conference. Can you not shave your face and do something with that nasty hair? It is pretty bad when Billy Ray Cyrus has better hair than you do.

I will always love you but I am just not in love with you anymore. I am moving on to a new quarterback. That's right, I am leaving you for another man. His name is Mark Sanchez. He is smoking hot and I have not heard any screams of rape yet. Look at those abs...maybe you would have abs like that if you didn't booze it up so much.

I wish you luck. I might even miss you a little. But I am movin' on Ben.

Love always,

Your tomato hating beyotch

Jerry Jones Has Bad Night At Hooters

I already could not stand Jerry Jones. This just makes it so much worse. If you are out in a public place, you should probably keep you mouth zipped considering even my techno deficient mother has a camera and could tape you.

Jerry you are a douche. Always have been, always will be. Get a clue.

Waiting for Football Season...

A fellow co-worker has gotten me involved in a home run derby pool. I will do pretty much anything if it involves the chance to compete and win money. The cost is $10 per team. 7 players are picked to be on your team. Of course you cannot pick Pujols, Howard, Gonzalez, etc. You get one of those players. Then you pick from a "B" group and then a few from the "C" group.

Considering we are months away from football season, I am hoping that this will take my mind off things. So here is the team I put together...
Ryan Howard, Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun, Mark Teixeira, Evan Longoria, Alfonso Soriano and Jay Bruce.

I hope more than anything it makes watching baseball more interesting. It will never take the place of football but it just might keep me from watching the NFL Combine videos over and over all summer.
