Rambling like School Girls

• If Randy Moss figures out that his team can win if he takes the attention off them so they can focus on the game
  (as he did Wild Card weekend), watch out, this is a dangerous team.
• Who would be favored USC or the 49ers?
• When will people realize that coaches shouldn’t be General Managers.
• Where is Ron Wolf?
• Is the seat next to Mia available during the Cubs games?
• Do people forget how good Nomar was?
• Has Kirk Hinrich ever seen the sun?
• Even though at this point in his career it appears he will one day be the Best. Basketball Player. Ever. I still wish LeBron would have spent a year in college.
• Another thing about LeBron, is can you imagine seeing him play in High School? Go to a local High School game
  when a player people think is really good is playing and imagine him playing against LeBron two years ago when James was a senior in High School. Does anyone else have nightmares when thinking about how good he was in High School?
• We all know about how players have great statistical seasons when they are in contract years. In the spirit of the same phenomenon, shouldn’t there be an expectation for monster seasons in a “I have something to prove” sense? Think about Jordan in ’95-’96, his first full season back. All he did was average 30.4 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.2 steals per game while leading his team to the best single-season record in NBA history at 72-10, and another NBA Championship and Finals MVP award. This is just one example but don’t you think it applies to at least two baseball players this season? Javy Vazquez was dumped by the Yankees so they could get 41 year old Randy Johnson. Does anyone else think Vazquez won’t win at least 18 games this season just to show the Yankees they should have kept him at 27, instead of going for a player 14 years his elder with a bad back? He would win at least 20 games if he was in the AL, because his wins would have an added impact on the Yankees. The other player of course is Sosa. He should have an outstanding year because of the trade talk, fans turning on him, Baker ratting him out, and people doubting his ability. Doesn’t he say, “screw all of that” and prove to everyone that he can still hit .320, drive in 120, and hit 50 home runs. Added to the fact this is in effect a contract year for him, either the Cubs pick up his option for 2006, or they buyout his contract and he signs for $20 million a year with the Yankees, and he puts up at least those aforementioned numbers.
• If Sosa’s records get an asterick (*) because of steroids will his contract get an asterick?
• How long till Pedro corrupts Beltran?
• Will they please still chant Whose Your Daddy?
• Will Mark Cuban buy this blog?
• Name 4 Brewers.
• What will happen if the Yanks don’t win this year?
• Does Mike Piazza like it when they add more men to the roster?
• What happened to Aaron bleeping Boone after the knee injury?
• Is ‘Lil John related to ‘Lil Wayne, ‘Lil Flip, ‘Lil Troy, or ‘Lil Scrappy?
• Ron Santo deserves the Hall of Fame (this needs to be an article).
• Every player in all sports should have to take out his cornrows and wear the afro.
• Does anybody own endzonedance.com?
• Do chicks still dig the long ball?
• Does anyone else think facemasks will become the new headbands for grade school kids now that LeBron is wearing one?
• Sadly, there will never be a playoff in college football, this is something I have finally come to realize.
• With all of the talking heads on ESPN, FOX, and CBS telling us how bad the NFC is compared to the AFC, am I the only one who thinks an NFC team will win the Super Bowl. Obviously it is a long shot, the talent is greater in the AFC, but I just think with popular opinion being with the AFC, I think the NFC representative will go out and
  have something to prove. My “something to prove theory” will be put to an early test, during the Super Bowl.
• If the Cubs staff stays healthy all season and pitches like we have been told they would the past two seasons, how many teams will score more than 3 runs against them?
• Was it just me, or was Mary Ann Kate (The Real Gilligan’s Island) the hottest woman in reality television history?
• Firemikesherman.com undoubtedly has reached a record in hits over the past week.
• I wish we could buy stock in things like; Dick Vitale will tell us at least 83 times this season how good the ACC is,
  “AMERICA, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!” and Digger Phelps inexplicably telling us Notre Dame has a shot to be a good team and preaches about them like they are a final four team.
• How long will it be until ESPN has its own network for poker? And when will poker go back underground and become cool again for not being cool? Is anyone else sick of this?
• Is there a sports equivalent to “Andy Dufrense crawled to freedom through five-hundred yards of s*#^ smelling
  foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want too”? Someone please help me with this.

That’s it for this edition.
