Well here we go with another year of some great football, We have the hoodie stealing signals, Three Big 12 teams that could be playing for the National championship.
OU, KU, and my favorite, MU could all be playing for the national championship. Lets all take a look at this and think, yes in sports for time to time you have to think about stuff, LOL. Lets just say for conversations sake if KU should happen to win out, and by the way there has been no sign that they could not do this by the looks of the rest of their schedule, That would have to put them in the top 3. It could actually put them higher than that if the win the big 12 championship. It is safe to say that arguably they could be in the number 2 post playing for the nations top spot. Then again since MU has had the tougher schedule and if they win out and beat KU in the final game of the season, some say it could be them in the number 2 or 3 spot if they win the big 12. Then you have OU who is always going to be in the top 5 or even better. Wait a minute I am saying that KU's football team could be the nations best not in basketball but football. Have I lost my mind, I guess only time will tell huh. The fact that BC won a game in the last 2 minutes of a big game I don't feel that they should have won, a lucky, yes lucky onside kick was won. This sealed the game. That being said they did win and that is the bottom line. they was beat the whole game right up till that last ditch at a win or a prayer. Well the prayer was answered, and they won. Yet the Qb is still considered because of that game to be a Heisman candidate, WHAT, how in the hell can you say that, what did he prior to that, actually nothing. Then again it is a great story for the media though huh.
OK enough of the college game and now to a story from the high school ranks. I hope you are sitting down. A small Kansas high school team is making some big noise in Kansas High school. they recently set a new record for point son one game, Here we go, are you ready. 72-o yes 72-0...Oh I forgot to tell you that was the 1st quarter score, the freaking first quarter score. What the hell was that about. The game ended in a 83 -0 final. They have this year outscored their opponents, are you ready, 640 - 0. No that is not a typo, 640 - 0. How in the hell do you score that many points in 8 games. Do the math that is almost 80 points a game. What the hell is the other teams doing. Well apparently nothing huh. They are the state champs, not to insult your intelligence, but yes they will probably keep that title this year.
OK, now some baseball, I know the season is over but listen to this. Grady Little had resigned as the LA Dodgers skipper. Why did he retire, well it seems the club has been interviewing other men for his job. It has been reported that Yankees former skipper will be taking the job. My question is, how do you interview for the job when you have that position filled already. Why would you not just let him go and then find his replacement. That is a real kick in the balls if you ask me. Joe Torre' is most likely going to take the job. So yeah he resigned, or did he. What would you do. I know what I would do. Look all you have to do is say look, we did not reach our expectations for this year, we are holding you responsible for the collapse of the team in that last bit of the year, letting the ROCKIES in the playoffs. We will not be needing your services next year and pay him off and go on. Would have showed alot more stones than the way they did it. Pretty shitty if you ask me.
Have a great rest of the week and tune in later for more great stories in the world of sports.

Chuckie Are You Serious
So the owner of the Rockies seems to think that if the Boston would agree to 6 more games they would win all of them. He has the Cohones to say we was the better team. Wait a minute would the better team been swept in 4 straight. I don't thinks so Chuckie. The Red Sox beat you in every aspect of the game. They out pitched, hit, and threw you. Look I will give you that you had a great streak, but all streak must come to an end. Look If you are honest with yourself, you had a little luck on your side. Once you leave Denver, no one can name more than two men on your team, yet you did get yourself to the World Series. Yes you deserved it, you beat the teams on front of you, and you beat them in streaks. You had a great streak, but sorry Chuckie the best team won.
The Boston Red Sox have been compared to the Yankees, sorry that is not quite right either. The 94 team was alot better and would win against this team. Not taking anything away from the Sox. The only thing I wish was different was that it went to game five. I would have loved to seen Josh Beckett win five games in the post season. This guy was absolutely lights out and deserved to win the post season MVP. The man is awesome and a nasty, and I mean a nasty breaking ball. Then we have the Freak of nature, Papalbon, yes a freak of nature. He goes out and powers everything he throws past you. There is nothing they can do but to swing at air in the post season. The Red Sox took it easy on him all year. Did not use him anymore than they felt needed. It proved to help. The guy was lights out in the post season. Forget about all the dances and other antics, the guy is great. Throwing 95 mph plus, no wait a minute, throwing fastballs right up your backside. More commonly known as your ass.
Watching this series did you get the feeling that Boston was merely playing cat and mouse with the poor Rockies. They let them get close a couple of times only to punish them later. Look at game 5, they pulled within one and then the Red Sox blowed them away again. Papalbon walked one and then let them get a hit, only to shut out the rest of them. Is it me or was the merely screwing with them to give them a hint, that they had a chance at this?
Nonetheless Boston wins and game over. Congrats Boston and already tired of seeing you in the post season.

Tom (Freakin') Brady
Can you believe this guy. He throws for three touches and then he rushes in twice also. They put up 52 points on what some people might say is on of the best cover teams in the league. Not quite so today huh. So I pose this question to you, are the Pats running up the score on their opponents. It sure the hell looks like it today huh. They went 2 for 2 on 4th downs. If your not running up the score then why in the hell are going for it on fourth downs. Ok I know the old man is going to say hey the game is not over until it is over. Ok enough coach. Just admit you are pissed off about getting caught cheating and stealing signals and now you are going to put the attention on something else. Like you are beating people like tied dogs, or rented mules. "Cheated huh, here take 52 home with you." I don't think they are cheating right now at all. Besides how many people in the NFL are not trying to steal signals. Well maybe not filming them anyway. You know I think that if they was videoing the signals then they would have to figure out the signals. I mean you know if they was getting the signals, was they only giving one signal or was they giving several or was they doing what they do in baseball and give an indicator signal first. You know that, they have to touch their nose first or the signal means nothing, then touch the nose then the next signal is the actual play. It would take awhile to figure it all out and be able to use it, I say anyway.
Regardless, the Patriots are killing people right now. I guess maybe the NFL should not accuse them of stealing signals again huh. Now there is no way right now to beat them I don't think. I guess if there is going to be a test then it will be on the 4th of November when the last 2 remaining undefeated teams play together. After watching all the games I have watched his year. Is there anyone in the NFC to beat them. I think next week will be the real Super Bowl.
Ok Back to Brady, this guy is unbelievable. He is on pace to not only break the records, but who in the hell is going to break them in the future. I mean Peyton had a great year to break Marinos' record now Brady is going to shatter that one. I know records are made to be broken but my lord. This guy is going to set it so damn high maybe even he won't be able to break them. This record may be the one to stand for a long long time boys and girls. This guy is lights out in a big way. And the whole team has stones to stand up and put these kind of numbers up every week. Look at the defense right now. Look they had a semi good defense and now they are even playing better. I mean better enough to hold teams to a single score or less, this might be the one most balanced team in history. Tom Laundry had a few well balanced teams, but I don't think that even Tom Laundry would be envious of this team. I know a friend of mine is about to start his Super Bowl celebration going any day now. Way to go umpire in chief, Tom Bradys' biggest fan.

Are you Kidding me
Look I know I live in small town USA. OK actually small town Missouri. I know KU has a good basketball team, hell they might even have a great checkers team. Football team though? Well they do have a good football team. Now I know you are saying what, I said in the beginning of the year. They have a powder puff non conference schedule. Well here is a thought, Maybe Mangino did just what he needed to do. The team has the confidence to beat about anyone right now. Yes I know they stayed home for the first 4 games and they was high school at best competition. Yet I believe that it has given them the confidence they needed to get to where they are right now. Where are they, they are #9 On the BCS ranking. I know the BCS ranking does not mean anything right now, Basically it is a bunch of virus and trojan infected computers that do the ranking. But hey, they are #9. This is the system that they have to go with, and they are going with it and in a big way. This team was not even on the radar in years past.
Not only does Mangino have more chins than China , and he is always good for some soundbites, but he also has his team playing with more heart than anyone in the country right now. Say what you want , but the man has them playing really good right now and has been all year. If the Jayhawks continue to win, hell they might be in San Antonio this New Year. I mean really come on for god sakes the Jayhawks playing football in the new year.
Well hold on boys and girls it might just happen this year. Not only might it happen, but it will be deserving also. I do however thinks until the A&M game might have been ranked a little high. In all honesty, their neighbor MU has played a bigger and tougher non conference schedule and they played a really tough Ranked team in OU, and held their own. So yeah arguably MU could or should be ranked higher than KU. Missouri wins again on Saturday and not by a low score either once again they win big. No they did not cover the points but they won pretty big. KU wins also, not big or maybe even real pretty, but they won. They have not had a year like this 8-0 since 1909. Ok boys and girls that is a long time. A really long time.
So I say again, Are you kidding me..

07 Series
Well here we are in the 2007 world series. We find ourselves in the midst of a weird series. Weird you ask. Ok, here we go.
The hottest team of baseball comes into the playoffs winning 14 of their last 15 games and enter the playoffs hotter than hot. Ok, hotter than Hell. They sweep the first round, and then they sweep the the Diamondbacks in the NLCS. They take a month off and then have to go out and play the American league Champs, who bye the way, happens to have a hell of a streak their selves. Not the same kind of streak, a streak in where they bring out their ace and he goes balls out flawless. Goes lights out to give them game 6. These Boston kids are absolutely lights out right now.
In game one we see the nastiest pitcher in my opinion in the MLB. He does what he does and then some. Game one he strikes out the side to start the game. His nasty stuff never used. NEVER used. He strikes out the side with fast balls. Then gets his fourth strike out, and then decides what the hell lets use it for a change and strikes out number 5. Are you freaking serious. Fast balls and only fastballs. I think maybe the Rockies is still on post season vacation, in the Rockies skiing or what ever the hell they did while off for 8 days. Sures the hell was not staying focused for sure.
The number one relief pitcher in the league comes out and does not throw anything but heat in game 2 and no one can touch him. Oh and then lets not forget, arguably the NL MVP goes to sleep on first base. How in the hell does he do that. I mean come on this is not the first game of the season but the friggin world series, and you fall asleep on first. To get to first against this kid is something in itself. But only to decide to take nap. You just had 8 days off. Look on the bright side you keep playing like that you will have plenty of time to rest. Right after game 4 on Sunday.
OK back to the freak closer. Yes he is a freak of flippin nature kids. He can't dance for crap, but he can pitch. The ball leave his hand and has fire coming from the back side of it. Nothing like throwing the bats of his opponents right up their backsides, huh. These Rockies who, yes was the hottest team in all of baseball, has chilled in Colorado. Maybe they should have left for Florida, to Disney world or something. Their coach keeps saying, "This is how we play, we come from behind." Well coach you are behind. Now you get to face, for game three, another pitcher who is hot.
Good luck Coach.
