I do not not like him on a train
I do not like him in the rain
I do not like him on a boat
I do not like him by a moat
In a moat, maybe. In a sack, tied with a chain or something. And with lots of concrete, weighing it down.
It was this story at ESPN.com that got me wondering how come I’m supposed to override 20 years of hatred, just because the guy’s a good shooter? I caught my Dad, as sane a person as I know, watching a Duke game…and cheering for Duke.
FOR Duke.
Besides the emotional scaring I’ll forever have to bear, it’s just another reminder that lots of people are stupid. Almost on a 1-to-1 scale of people who like Duke. Oddly enough, all stupid people like Duke, while all non-stupid people hate Duke.
Stop it with the J.J. Redick. He sucks. Duke sucks. Get over it.
Just my completely biased opinion. Don’t be surprised if this guy isn’t starting somewhere in December.
Contact Music says it’s going to be the lowest ratings ever for Winter Olympics. I can see how. Olympic cheerleaders.
I’m not kidding:
In the true Olympic spirit of competition, they rejoice when anyone scores, in the same contest. Sometimes they misinterpret the proceedings and cheer over a disputed medal, or a penalty in a hockey game.
On Saturday night, the Czech Republic’s hockey star Jaromir Jagr was down on the ice, blood streaming from a cut to his forehead, while a fight broke out between his teammates and Finland’s players.
The uniformed young women lined up in a nearby aisle apparently thought it was a showtime cue and began rattling their pompoms.
And during Canada’s 16-0 victory over Italy, the biggest rout in Olympic women’s hockey history, the Italian cheerleaders popped up from their seats on the stadium steps and rejoiced against their countrywomen in the opening competition of the Winter Games.
Me and Dad were watching the Ice Dancing competition, and the Russians TOTALLY stole it. We both thought the scores for the Bulgarians were just outrageous. It was a pathetic show of the judges bias, and how the same people won over and over again.
It was also the first 30-seconds of the Olympics I’d watched. Apparently, I’m not the only one who wasn’t watching. However, PR was, and has some ways to get people like me to watch.
Lemme break down what Peter King said for the upcoming draft. He said the Texans would:
1. Trade the pick
2. Draft Reggie Bush
3. Draft Vince Young
No, really.
Somehow this guy gets paid mad coin to bring us the stuff nobody else can. He’s a frick’n GENIUS! More “the geniusâ€:
Johnny Weir could stand to grow up. And how in the world does he flop in the men’s long program and walk out of the arena without some NBC person putting a microphone in his face? There were, what, five hours between his skate and the time NBC showed it on tape delay? At the very least NBC should have been in the mixed zone (where journalists can chat with athletes after their events) and gotten what everyone else got — that he felt “black inside’’ and that his mood for the competition was ruined by missing a bus from the athletes’ village that day. Next to Bode Miller, at least from afar, Weir’s about the least likable Olympian in the American stable.
All that great stuff, and somehow he totally skipped the Official Ricky Williams Bash Post! GENIUS REVOKED!!!
In honor of Ricky Williams getting busted AGAIN, I offer you the opportunity to make fun of him, weed, drugs, sports stars, the University of Texas, the Heisman Trophy, the Dolphins, the Saints, Mike Ditka, or anything else this guy’s insane career might offer.

So says Life&Style Weekly:
Life & Style has learned exclusively that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have agreed to call off their wedding — and, ultimately, to split.
Multiple insiders confirmed the story to Life & Style, with one longtime friend of Tom’s saying: “Their relationship is basically over.” Another friend adds: “They both agreed that the marriage wouldn’t work and they wanted to end it before they learned to hate each other.”
Amazing. Now THAT’S something to make Valentine’s Day worth it. Has somebody alerted FreeKatie.com?
UPDATE: That sound you hear is collective sighs of relief from hundreds of celebrity gossip columnists who were seeing their cash-cow biting the dust. Turns out, they aren’t splitting up at all! Whoo! Disaster averted!
I saw this at BWE and wondered just how many seconds would pass between the blogohedreweb getting ahold of the story and it would get DEEEEEEENIIIIIIIIED!!!
Turns out, about two hours:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STATEMENT REGARDING TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES AND LIFE & STYLE MAGAZINE Los Angeles, CA (February 14, 2006) - In reference to a forthcoming cover story in the tabloid magazine Life & Style about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, it should be known that the story is 100% false. Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child. Despite the malicious fallacies put forth by Life & Style magazine, the couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family.
See? TomKat, on again, totally in love, Tom’s not gay, and they are in a real religion. Their publicists said so.
<sexist pig alert>
SI.com has the 2006 Swimsuit Issue coverage, and, only thinking journalistically, I wanted to point out that Maria Sharapova is in this year’s spread. ‘Cause, you know…she’s like an athlete and stuff.
</sexist>
NOTE: I barely know who Maria Sharapova is, let alone what she’s doing in Sports Illustrated, nor why the heck they have Swimsuit Edition. Might be the reason why I cancelled my first and only subscription after the underwhelmingness of Peter King became apparent to my college-age self.
