I am always amazed that some people actually care about pro sports.

some thoughts:

re: Lambs v Seahags...This should determine which team has a chance to salvage the season.

re: Drew...RUN the other way! The Phillies drafted him, he sat out until he could re-enter the draft The Cardinals paid him a fortune to sit on the DL and finally gave him to Atlanta. Then he went to LA only to suck there too. Sexon may be a problem in his own right, but Drew ain't no solution.

Re: Sam...did it ever occur to you that not everyone is interested in the same shit you are? People like pro sports. It is a fun distraction from real shit. Why is that so troublesome?

In what way does Drew "suck there too"? He's the Dodgers's best player after Furcal, and the fifth-best RF in all of baseball. That OBP of almost .400 in Dodger Stadium is EXACTLY what the Mariners need most; it would have been the highest on our team last year. He's never really had a bad season. Sure, he's not the most durable of players, but he's more valuable than Sexson in every possible way.

The thing I don't understand is why people follow COLLEGE sports. The pros are at least honest; play the game, get paid for it. In college, you've got a bunch of retards and criminals pretending to be scholars while they destroy their bodies in a 21st-century form of slavery on the off-chance (vanishingly small in reality) that they might get paid for it sometime in the future. I don't understand why schools like Miami aren't permanently barred. The NCAA is a less respectable organization than Serie A soccer in Italy, which is saying something. Utterly corrupt, utterly unredeemable.

I saw Drew play in Spring Training last year. He looked good. Nice smooth stroke. Like Broussard's, but a little less herk. He cracked one onto the deck of the motel-looking thing beyond the right field fence at Holman Stadium.

Mike In Mo -- If Drew comes and doesn't 'work out' here, he could always come back to life in St Louis like DJ Sandfrog...

NFL/ESPN: Fuck the fucking ratings -- last MNF was a good game. That's unless you shit your christ-robe whenever the *game of the week* isn't Yankees / Sox (insert inane hype reel...here). I like to see every team play. Too bad Texans / Titans didn't make it onto prime time. An improving Carr, Andre Johnson (752 yards), Vince Young returning to a where-he-was-undrafted Texas, and who IS Travis Henry? There's you fn storyline, Chachi.

And Jesus Christ Mike In Mo and Chicago Fan:
MNF on Dec 11 -- Chicago at St. Louis 8:30 p.m.

Fnarf: ok, so Drew wasn't bad in LA. I'm just bitter for the years he spent on St Louis's DL. Also, great point about college sports. If any of them are any good, I'll see them in the pros soon enough.

Lloyd: I can't wait. Lambs will probably get their asses kicked, but ay least The Lou gets to host a MNF game. And my friends Sonic Reducer will be playing outside The Ed pre-game.

Fnarf, College sports is where it's at. Especially the faculty seats at Husky games. I remember going to games at Swarthmore with my mom and dad and having a great time watching football.

That said, why haven't the Sonics left already?

Fuck you J.D. Drew. I throw a virtual battery in your direction. Fuck you you fucking fuck. And fuck Scott Boras too while we're at it.

And that Raiders-Seahawks MNF game was a snoozer. Seattle's back-ups vs. Oakland's rejects for 16 lousy points? I'm surprised it rated at all.

PA -- Indeed. Manning / Brady forever! Eh-hem, here goes: "The *last* time these two elite teams met, it was Peyton Manning who (cue video) finally got the monkey off his back against his perennial nemesis Tom Brady. The Colts' 6-5 field general is 7-0 in his 9th year out of Tenessee, as The Colts look to cruise into the postseason. But the question remains (cue past playoff highlights): Can Manning win The Big One?

"On the other side of the ball you have the amazing Tom Brady. Brady knows a thing or two about Big Games. With his (cue smiling Brady looking up amidst falling confetti) three Super Bowl rings...".

Salvage the season? WTF The Hawks are number one in their division. While yah, they're not the Colts, they are not doing that bad.
