Never knew that so many people I knew love soccer until the World Cup started. Now, everybody is a FIFA expert and knows all the best players and teams. Newsflash turds: Just cause you read the SI preview issue and listen to Alexi Lalas on ESPN does not make you any more knowledgeable than the next guy who doesn't play attention to soccer except every four years. Get a life losers. And for you real soccer homos, suck it, soccer sucks.
For realsies though, I respect soccer players and their ability, but I just can't get into it. Even with the World Cup going on. Ronaldo and Drogba were playing (well, Ivory Coast and Portugal) and I was watching the Price is Right. And guess what, I missed nothing.
NBA
Celtics try to close out the Finals tonight in LA. Kobe needs some help tonight. Hello, Pau? Lamar Kardashian? Maybe Artest can make more than two shots. We gotta see a Game 7 guys!
NFL
Open letter to the Titans and Jets:
Pay your players
Thank you,
a Fan of those players
Especially the Titans. The shelf life a a speed RB in the NFL is like 4 years. Pay him now when he deserves it, so you don't end up like the Chiefs in the Larry Johnson contract situation (ie giving $40 mil to a guy who used to be good and now can't get 40 yards a game).
Revis was Asomugah money, right? $16 mil a year or something? If I'm the Jets GM, I say to Revis' agent, "Who, other than Al Davis, is paying Asomugah $16 mil per?" Answer: Nobody. Revis deserves to get paid, but he has to realize that Asomugah got waaaaay overpaid by the Raiders.
BTW, I got a email from Yahoo telling me sign up for Fantasy Football already. Sheesh, training camp hasn't even started.
Memphis
Surprisingly this whole Memphis to BCS via FedEx story is getting a decent amount of coverage nationally. Who cares if it's "wrong"? Not me. If it takes FedEx cash to get us into a BCS conference, then by all means, do it. Can you imagine being in a BCS conference with that revenue sharing? That would immediately boost the football program and we would have money for all the sports at the U of M. It would put our school on another level. Maybe then we wouldn't have to raise tuition every year.
Movies:
Tonight I'm going to the premiere of Daylight Fades. A local movie by my buddies in Old School Pictures. I've been a part of most of their movies and they have won several film festivals. This is suppose to be their big breakthrough though.
Here is the trailer:
Political Statement
Re: Oil Spill
First of all, the oil spill has had zero impact on me, so my opinions probably shouldn't count, but this is my class and speak on anything I want to.
1) Don't boycott BP you idiots. That's not hurting BP, it's hurting the locals who own the BP stations that in some cases don't even carry BP gas! So chill out.
2) Obama. I keep hearing that people are mad he's not doing more. What the fuck is he going to do short of scooping oil off the beaches? Is he going to dive down to the spill and put a piece of gum in the hole and fix everything? No. It pisses me off that people think he doesn't care. Do people forget we're still in a recession? Oh yeah and what's that thing we're doing in Iraq? Oh yeah, a fucking war is going on! Maybe he's got a few other things going on.
3) The birds. My cousin is a Federal Wildlife Marshall who knows anything and everything about wildlife. He told me on Saturday that those birds already covered in oil have about a 1 in 100 chance of surviving after they've been "cleaned up." And how many fools do we have down there on an assembly line cleaning table washing all those birds? Wasting time and labor.
Alright, well I'm glad I got that out of the way.
