A Wacky Week in Sports

    What a week.   My hockey pool team continues to flounder, maintaining a solid eighth place standing out  of twelve.  Fucking embarrassing it is.  Guaranteed if you look at the scoreboard and a team gets shutout; it will have someone from my 'group' playing on that team.  Or more than likely, two fucking guys playing.
    I have said many times that I am rarely wrong and when I am ... I don't admit it!  Now understand, I am not really admitting a mistake on my part concerning RNH but... I will admit that he is much better than I thought he would be.   He is very impressive and might just lead the long dormant Oilers back from the bottom of the pile.  Not this year but soon.  The Oilers have accumulated an impressive group of young players and with a little time, patience and luck; they just  might drink from the cup again in our lifetime.  If only they had a top notch defenseman they would really be something.  Adam Larrson perhaps?(I just can't let it go)
    I love the fact that the NBA (No Babies Allowed) went on strike for over 150 days and in the end they are still as fucked up as before.  The big cry was that the small market teams didn't have a chance because fucking guys like LeBronMoron, Bosh, Amare, Deron Williams, and the fabulously sincere Carmello Anthonly, highjacked their teams by deserting, or holding them hostage to get their way. The small market teams couldn't compete with the big markets and keep their stars; causing a lack of parity and hope throughout the league.
     The now generation showed their character by, instead of sucking it  up and building a winner where they were, joined forces in an attempt to win a championship the new fashion way: by collusion not hard work and stick-to-it-ness. Ahhhhh... typical, as Kermit the Frog once sang.
    And now after four months of labor strife, the NBA is back in business and what is the first order of business to grab the headlines? Well of course it is the attempts of two superstars to leave their team and play somewhere else; preferable where and with whom they want.  Same shit, different month.  
     Remember: hate the players; love the game.  When you watch sports on TV; may I suggest you turn off the sound to exclude you from all the bullshit that goes on in the sporting world.   Enjoy the game and loath the people. Repeat after me...
   Isn't DeSean Jackson a wonderful example of today's athlete.  Every week he lowers the bar on how to act and be a teammate.  How long is going to be before a fellow Eagle kicks the shit out him on the sidelines?  I don't think he will be able to run out of bounds to avoid being hit on that one...
    Albert Pujols in Anaheim?  Go figure.  Good for me.  Now I can sit and listen to those late night games on the west coast with some interest.  King Albert indeed.  By the way: I question whether or not he was a user of something back in the day.  If you saw him about 5-6 years ago, he was huge.  Fucking ripped.  A monster.  I'm not saying...I'm just saying.
    How about CP3?  Ohh, too bad.  Never liked him.  As I said before, he just looks like a prick and let's not forget... I'm rarely wrong.
    Carolina lost to Kentucky this week and I didn't get too upset with the loss.  It was game in which either team could have won.  Next time they play, UNC will beat those cheating bastards (Bob Knight's word about Kentucky).
    Last thing: Oilers defense still stinks!
