Well the 2004 college football season has ended. There have been some ups and downs this season. USC is National Champions for the 2nd year in a row. Notre Dame sucks again. The BCS is still the worst part of football. Now that the AP has wisely pulled its poll from the BCS, officials are scrambling on what to do next year. The talk is to put together a selection c ... read on

I wanted to mention something about the glorious play of the Iowa State Cyclones last week, but I'm lazy, so I didn't. Now, it is a week later, and I absolutely must take this opportunity to congratulate the 'Clones on their special place in Big 12 history. The have the distinction of being the first team to lose a football game at home to Baylor since the Big 12 was forme ... read on

This past week, I went to St. Louis to enjoy some time off from work and celebrate my birthday. As part of my trip I visited the St. Louis Zoo, Six Flags, and a Cardinals game. The game was freakin' fun, and I can't wait to get back to another game. While at the new Busch Stadium, I had the opportunity to pay $8.25 for a single beer, and $7.50 for a bottle of beer. Th ... read on

The inevitable has happened. Barry Bonds has achieved history by hitting more home runs than any other major leaguer. Of course, this whole story is surrounded by scandal, since Barry Bonds is or was a steroid user. He denies it, and has not failed any drug tests since 2002, when the Majors officially banned the performance enhancing drugs. Bonds did use steroids, no ma ... read on

I am currently trying to burn off some of my excess lard, as I am a hefty fellow. Using the internet, I have discovered that the vast majority of healthcare websites, run by healthcare professionals are using the altogether outdated BMI to measure the healthiness of a person's carriage (fatness to the layman). As a fat man hoping to become a less fat man, I must say it ... read on

Being a nearly lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, I was excited that they would have the opportunity to win their first World Series since 1982. Then in game one they played well, but just couldn't capitalize. Game two, they started to slide, playing poorly. Game three blew it with home field advantage, hope was fading. Then last night they played so crappy, that ... read on

Dayn Perry of FoxSports.com can go to hell and enjoy some crow for saying that the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals are the worst World Series Team ever. After nearly removing themselves from contention with an end of season slide, THEY ARE THE 2006 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!! I'm gonna go get drunk. YEAH!!!!! Nice prediction dick. Now you can GFY! ... read on

Let me begin by stating that in his Michael Jordan was the best player of his time... to an extent, because I am only speaking of the time before Retirement #1. I mean no disrespect to the morons who absolutely worship MJ, after all those people already disrepect themselves enough without me compounding their problems. Multiple retirements aside, I will now put the fools w ... read on

I know that what I am about to say is going to anger some people, but those people are mouth-breathers, and thusly sub-human in nearly every way. NASCAR is not a sport. It never has been and it never will be. No athletic ability is necessary. For the love of Christmas, it ranks with fox-hunting in my book. All the work is done by a machine, not a person. These rabid fan ... read on

In today's society, you can hardly go anywhere with out seeing something associated with sports. From the young age of 2 up to 60 sports are everywhere. Don't get me wrong I like sports as much as the next guy, but there is way too much exposure now days. Now I think of myself as a true sports fan, and I love to watch football. Why in the hell would I care about watc ... read on

Last week, Vince McMahon, of WWE fame, was blown up in his limo. To anyone who believes this, you are a bonafide moron. This is yet another one of the WWE's tasteless stunts to get ever more slackjawed yokels to watch their steadly crumbling program. The WWE hasn't been any good since they had to change their "F" to an "E". None of their current roster of wrastlers have ... read on
