I mean, I am sure the thousands that flock to this very site everyday were disappointed yesterday when there was no post. As you know, the majority of the time when there is nothing posted, it means that I got too busy to post. This in fact was not the case yesterday. Yesterday, there was seemingly nothing interesting to write about.
We've been through the Girardi thing, I've got nothing on Joe Torre really. Why would he go to LA? He's absolutely and idiot. I know Torre is documented as wearing only Zegna suits, but did he need the extra money to keep buying them? I mean, three years $13 million rocks hard, but is it really worth dealing with Jeff Kent at his age? The Dodgers are a young team, and they have Jeff Kent. For those of you who don't know, Kent is notoriously the worst clubhouse guy in baseball. Yeah, worse than Bonds and A-Rod. As Bill Walton would say, "What could he possibly be thinking?"
What...Kobe? You want your team destroyed? Didn't think so. He's got such a good contract that he can put in place the players he wants to remain on the teams that he could go to. Note: Kobe isn't Jordan, no matter how badly he thinks he is. Thanks.
What...A-Rod? Don't you find it ironic that the "Best Player of our Generation" doesn't have teams lining up to sign him? Basically, there are only really two teams that can afford him and he's already shut one down. Is Boston going to sign him? Doubt it. Other than that, A-Rod doesn't have enough power to hit in SF. Sorry, but he's a 35-40 home run hitter there. I mean, that's not bad or anything, but those hooking line drives to left and 318 foot homers to left in the Bronx aren't getting it done in SF. That leaves who...the Cubs, Mets, and Angels? None of those teams need A-Rod from a business standpoint. All of those teams need PITCHING and the Cubs need a left handed power hittter to hit between Lee and ARAM. Yeah, A-Rod is the best player available, but there are other pressing needs. Imagine this...Tampa Bay signs A-Rod. The Devil Rays, not the Bucs. With the young players they have plus A-Rod, they could win games. Plus, he's stay in the AL East which would be hilarious. Oh, and the q-tips in Tampa would probably pay to see A-Rod. Guess what, won't happen. Who's legitimately going to sign A-Rod for $30 million with the Yankees out of the picture? This is really going to be interesting.
NBA? No one cares. My fantasy team is amazing. My fantasy team is so good that I could field a football team out of it and win. TheBron at WR and Dwight Howard playing both ways at LT and DE. You're done.
Patriots/Colts? I mean, alright. I'm taking the Colts. You're the champion until someone beats you. At home? Mad that they get no respect? Colts by 7.
Well, in my opinion, the biggest story in sports right now is Ohio State. Have we not learned anything? Ohio State has.
Let me tell you how much smarter Ohio State is than you. They know because they are "The Ohio State University" that playing in a weak conference against a weak schedule, all they have to do is put themselves in a position to be undefeated against Michigan. That's all they have to do. That may sound hard...look at that schedule and tell me otherwise. My fantasy basketball team could be Akron and YSU. Running the option with Baron Davis and Ben Gordon, Richard Jefferson at the hybrid TE. Yeah.
Look, Ohio State last year was the consensus #1. They went through their schedule, and yes, beat Texas on the road, which is nice. A Texas team that was completely depleted and overrated starting a freshman quarterback, but they did win and did so convincingly. This year, nothing stands out about this team other than their name and record in the eyes of the voters. What's the difference between Ohio State and Arizona State right now? Arizona State has won all the games they were supposed to win, like Ohio State, plays in a better conference than Ohio State this year, yet because of Ohio State's name recognition, Arizona State is #4. Boston College, who has a signature road win against Virginia Tech in the rain is #2, because Ohio State has name recognition. You think Ohio State cares? Assuming that Michigan beats Ohio State and assuming that BC loses and assuming that Oregon beats ASU this week, Hawaii will be the only undefeated team. So potentially you're rankings look like this, LSU, Oregon, Oklahoma, Ohio State (because they lost on the road and only have one loss, they will most likely still be ranked ahead of Michigan), West Virginia, Michigan (two losses), BC (one loss) and then whatever. Including Hawaii there's eight BCS teams. Notre Dame will somehow find a way to get in contractually, so there's nine. Either way, Ohio State has walked into the BCS to play someone who will get all over them. Take your millions get killed, give your AD a bonus.
It's what they do. They give themselves an opportunity to play in a BCS game, and take their chances with being over matched. They take their millions. AD doesn't care. The two best teams in the country right now are in fact LSU and Oregon. But at least BC has a quality road win. If your a voter and have to vote for undefeated teams at the top I mean, at least look at that win and not just "The Ohio State University." Ohio State structures themselves to go to a BCS game, not to impress anything. Winning is important at Ohio State these days, but not as important as the dollars.
