Hello Sports fans!
I, the amazing Handsome Right-Hander. have returned to talk about sports. This weekend, the Greatest spectacle in all of sports kicked off. The World Cup began and the excitement surrounding it grew to an all-consuming swirl of advertising, and 2 am kick-offs. The Sox took 2 of 3 from the Cubs, and in Cubs fashion, it took a near no-hitter to win the game. The Blackhawks rescued the city from another bleak Scrub summer, and it looks like the Cavs and Miami Heat will keep their superstars.
Lost in the shuffle, were 2 stories that merit further discussion. First, Notre Dame Football, which has not been relevant for some time, somehow blew it and could have moved into the Big Ten Conference. Thhis would mean high-profile yearly games with football powerhouses such as Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa. ND probably focused on playing scrub teams like Indiana, Iowa State, and our own Fighting Illini. ND hemmed and hawed asking for more money, and the conference stepped over their dying carcas and took in Nebraska. Notre Dame can now look to apply to the stacked Big 12 conference, because it looks likle it will only have 5 teams left. Notre Dame will be the big fish in a small pond, and still have to face tough teams to win anything. Way to cash in on your history ND.
The next asshole we can talk about is Tenessee Titans Qurterback Vince Young. Before this weekend, Young's claims to fame were his Wonderlic test score, which measures intelligence on a scale of 1-34, and his attempted suicide watches. Both his will to live without being a starting quarterback and his intelligence were dangerously low. This weekend, he was at a casino/stripclub/bar, and when he went to get some more money at the cash cage, the manager flashed him a upside down Texas Longhorn symbol, essentially saying "Boo to Texas, I went to blah blah blah community college and were better than you." Vince, being calm and famous for making good decisions, punched him and attacked the people long after security stopped the fiasco. Vince Young has made about 30M dollars, and about 30M mistakes, yet he continues to make mistakes. I bet he is a Cubs fan. Maybe he was trying to impress this girl. I, for one, and VERY impressed.
