Tuesday Randoms

Is anyone surprised that Michael Vick was indicted today? What a dumbass. Of course he'll get off, but I can't imagine that Herr Commissioner is going to like this. Anyway, after reading the article, I decided that I want to name my future son either Quanis or Purnell.

So Daunte Culpeper got the boot in Miami. Any chance he could end up in Atlanta? They might need another QB soon...

I thoroughly enjoyed the article about hapless Yankee fans in today's Post:

If it were any other squad, the rest of baseball would simply snicker. But this is the Yankees, whose historical success and strutting have made them arguably the most reviled team in American sports, and these are Yankees fans, undoubtedly the most loathed in the country. A snicker won't do. This calls for belly laughs. This calls for tankards and fiddles and torch-lit dancing. This calls for bunting and floats.

Very nice, though I don't advocate supporting the Red Sox either; too many bandwagon fans (and cocky ones at that), as Chanuck is fond of noticing. Half of my family root for the Sox, and have been for years. I did too (by rooting against the Yankees), until Boston won the World Series. Then, Sox fans were everywhere, similar to the Dallas Cowboys phenomenon (people who couldn't find Texas on a map LOVE the Cowgirls because they used to win a lot or something). Whatever, the point is that the Yankees are nine games back and things aren't looking so great. I can't blame the first guy in the article for taunting Mets fans, though; I'd want to taunt them too.

Yay for Sutherby and Eminger re-signing with the Caps! I was afraid that Sutherby would be gone next season, depriving female Caps fans of some good eye candy. (end puck bunny moment)

Yay Sutherby! Oh, you know I do love your puck bunny moments. I, of course, never objectify the men on our team in such a puck bunny-ish way. Really.

What's that? Clymer who? I don't know what you're talking about... ;)

Hey, watch it. I'm a Mets fan.

You are the first person I thought of when I read the Michael Vick story! I imagined you snickered and told Chanuk "yeah, that doesn't surprise me one bit."

Baseball, boring!

A few weeks ago it was how great the BoSox are, and their lead over the Spankies, now the blowhard ESPN types are all about talking about the Roid-King(Bonds). Baseball season is way too long. Get it over with, so I can laugh at the BoSox fans for spending too much and losing to a Florida Marlins kind of team.

God is it hockey season yet?

Bite your tongue! Baseball is awesome :-)

That's OK, Tom; nobody's perfect.

Missy said...

not surprised by the vick thing, but engraged as I hear details! GRRR! What an a8**hole.

Phil said...

I'm not surprised by Vick's indictment.

I'm inclined to believe he'll get off, but the Feds do have a 95% success rate, so that doesn't bode well.

One thing that seems strange is, I don't believe Vick's cousin is named in any of this (the man who was originally arrested and started this whole investigation) -- I wonder if he's turned on his sugar daddy?

Well, the NFL has had some problems lately, but it's a good thing they got rid of that Ricky Williams kid. He smoked WEEEEED!

HaveYouSeenLucky said...

Oh.. and baseball is boring. I concur.

Freakin Happy said...

Indeed, Tom -- nobody's perfect. I can't believe I'm going to let our son be a Mets fan. What hormonal surge was I under when I agreed to that?

Vick: not surprised, but pleased anyway. He's such a douche.

DCSportsChick said...

Amanda! I can't believe you, agreeing to that?!? (Does that mean the kid will be a Redskins fan as opposed to Giants?)

Phil- interesting observation. So his cousin isn't Quanis or Parnell?

Phil said...

Nope - it's Davon Boddie.

No one seems to mention this, as he was the guy living at the house.

Freakin Happy said...

Liz -- yup, the bean will be a Skins fan. Try to contain your excitement! :P
