Downfall



The picture is an SI cover from 1989 when Oklahoma had a lawless football program. That person is Charles Thompson, Oklahoma quarterback. Thompson was a redshirt freshman when he was handed the O for Game of the Century 2 in 1987. (It was between Oklahoma and Texas). Thompson was told by Barry Switzer that "you will shock the world." He did and had a normal 1988 season. In 1989 when Thompson sold cocaine to an undercover FBI agent.

C.C. with the Brew Crew?








Well, these men may have a shot at the playoffs. Last time the Brewers were in the playoffs they were in the AL, there was no interleauge play, County Stadium was still up and so was the Kingdome. Japanese players were not allowed in the majors and Ned Yost was the backup catcher and he had a much easier job than Prince Fielder who wasn't even born. They lost in seven games and the won 1 game 10-0 and that sucked. Right now there are races of people dresses up as meat and cha-cha bowls. The Brewers are being stupid with closers and have a guy who has a good start and blows it up. Then you bring in a sucky roid user who sucks. Stay tuned for part 2.

Great games that never happened part 1: Astros-sox 1986



Yes, I have a new idea on my blog. How it works is I have come up with a new idea to match up great teams that never played each other in a new twist. You will vote and I will post the winners on more posts. You will also get a chance to guess the mystery player I have posted. Today we will kick things off with a question. If the Mets were not in the world series would Bill Buckner not be given a bad name. They would have played the Astros in a good set of games. You viewers will vote on the winner and MVP.

Play Ball!



That's right, it's time to see why I put him up. I think that the Red Sox have the chance to be very good because they have just too many weapons to deal with. See you next time

Breaking the brackets

Well, I think that I have something to say about the brackets. I think that the top seed looks very strong, but there is some questions about this brackets. Why did the Badgers get a 3? They beat Texas on the road, not a very easy task to accomplish. The only teams they lost to where Purdue, Duke, and Mark Miller's favorite Marquette. Those teams are in the tournament, there is no shame in losing to them. I think that there was a huge snub. All because of the Big 10 not being very good this year. Texas is good, but they didn't win the Big 12. Bucky won the regular-season and tournament titles. Texas only got a share of the former in the Big 12. So readers the choice is yours. Who was more deserving, cattle or cheese and beer. The toughest road is in the South where Memphis will be lucky to get into the Sweet 16. So my picks for the final four are Bucky, UNC, Texas, and UCLA

George, I can't deny

Well, in the holiday time I can't think of a holiday killer more evil then George Mitchell. On Thursday of this week he unleashed a report so surprising he will be known as a baseball uncovered of drugs than as a former Senate member. The 404 page report is imposing as the baseball world found out that Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite were abusive about using steroids and so did Jose Canseco a few years back in his now-famous book. So the jury is out on many stars like Canseco, Paul Byrd, and Rick Ankiel.

The MLB has to respond to stuff like the underground networks led by former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski and Yankees strength coach Brain McNamee who said he saw Clemens and Pettite both use steroids in the clubhouse around the turn of the century. Well,there is a way to stop this madness. George Mitchell should join forces with World Anti-Doping Association chief Dick Pound to come up with a drug test that all players have to do every single year that can detect HGH, which is the drug of choice for players because it doesn't show on current tests. The first offense is a 10 game suspension, the second step is a 5 year ban, the third and worst one is a lifetime ban. That is your way to close the door on this dark year. That is your plan, George. Use it for good.
