Share your knowledge.  It’s a way to achieve immortality.  -Dalai Lama

1.  Meet the Mets, meet the Mets.  Step right up and greet the Mets.  Bring your kiddies, bring your wife.  Guaranteed to have the time of your life.  Oh boy!  Jimmy Rollins doesn’t look so silly anymore:  “The Mets had a chance to win the World Series last year.  Last year is over.  I think we are the team to beat in the NL East, finally.”  Remember that?  Now, with one embarrassing loss after another, the Mets’ first-place lead in the NL East has completely vanished.  Voila.  Three games to go.  Three games to go and they’re tied with the Phillies. The Fighting Phills.  Three games to go and Jimmy Rollins is looking more right every day.            Read More »

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high.  I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky.  I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly.  Rocky Mountain high.  -John Denver

Lookie, lookie here.  The Colorado Rockies.  Not the Wilf Paiement Rockies.  Not the Chico Resch Rockies.  We’re not talking hockey.  We’re talking baseball.  Pennant chase baseball.  I believe in the Church of Baseball.  The only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.  I believe in the Colorado Rockies.  Day in and day out, the Colorado Rockies have been feeding my soul.  Got a feeling inside.  It’s a certain kind.  I feel hot and cold.  Yeah, down in my soul, yeah.        Read More »

I got so much trouble on my mind.  I refuse to lose.  Here’s your ticket.  Hear the drummer get wicked.  -Public Enemy

So here we are.  Here we are now.  Entertain us.  I feel stupid and contagious.  Here we are now.  Entertain us. Week three in the books.  Week four coming up.  Like my main Gomer Pyle always says:  Surprise, surprise, surprise!  These Tennessee Titans are good.  Surprise, surprise, surprise!  The Tennessee Titans are real good.  Surprise, surprise, surprise!  Houston Oilers!  Houston Oilers!  Houston Oilers number one!  I know.  I know.  It’s the Titans now.  But that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.  Now does it?  But you get the idea.     Read More »

I love talking about nothing.  It is the only thing I know anything about.  -Oscar Wilde

1.  Mighty Vince Young.  What a man, what a man, what a man.  What a mighty good man.  Can we please stop the Michael Vick comparisons?  Senator, I served with Mighty Vince Young.  I knew Mighty Vince Young.  Mighty Vince Young was a friend of mine.  Senator, you’re no Mighty Vince Young. No he’s not.  Vick counted on his legs first.  Young thinks pass first.  If nothing is there, then he’s gone.  Young threw a pair of touchdown passes against last year’s feel good Saints.  Down ten zip, he did what he does best.  He came back.  Came back and won a football game.  Look out for these Titans.  They are looking good.  Pretty, pretty good.         Read More »

Take it easy, take it easy.  Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy.  -Eagles

Looks like the Sox are packing it in.  Off the attacking it in.  Hit the sacking it in.  Can’t say as I blame them.  Can’t say as I like it.  I’m with Herm on this one.  This is what’s great about sports.  This is what the greatest thing about sports is.  You play to win the game.  Hello?  You play to win the game.  You don’t play it to just play it.  That’s the great thing about sports: you play to win, and I don’t care if you don’t have any wins.  You go play to win.  When you start tellin’ me it doesn’t matter, then retire.  Get out!  ‘Cause it matters.     Read More »

Well you’re a real tough cookie with a long history of breaking little hearts, like the one in me.  That’s ok, lets see how you do it.  Put up your dukes, let’s get down to it!  Hit me with your best shot!  Why don’t you hit me with your best shot!  Hit me with your best shot!  Fire away!  -Pat Benatar

Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go!  What?  Oh.  You thought I forgot.  You thought maybe I was scared.  Scairt.  Blow it out your ear.  Blow it out your other ear.  I’m not worried.  I’m not yeller.  Old Yeller.  You saw what happened to him.  The sky ain’t falling.  I ain’t no Chicken Little.  No little chicken.  Kentucky Fried Chicken.  Finger lickin’, finger lickin’ good ya’ll.  I was busy.  I’m important.  I had stuff to do.  Mr. Big Stuff, who do you think you are?  HR Pufnstuf.   H.R. Pufnstuf, who’s your friend when things get rough?  H.R. Pufnstuf, can’t do a little because you can’t do enough.       Read More »

Fitzy shows his dismay at the Bill Belichick videogate scandal:

Peace out homies. Six two and even!

I have no idea what to make of this but:

Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!

Now you can’t catch me, baby you can’t catch me.  ‘Cause if you get too close, you know I’m gone like a cool breeze.  -Chuck Berry

The Heisman.  The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award. The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award awarded annually to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the nation.  Our country’s football salvation.  Leaving opponents needing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.  I know.  I know.  It’s early.  So I gotta get up early in the morning.  To find me another lover.  Gotta find me a lover that won’t run for cover.  I found me one.  I found Ray Rice.  I found Sugar Ray Rice of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.   Read More »

Are you ready?  Are you ready for this?  Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?  Out of the doorway the bullets rip to the sound of the beat.  Another one bites the dust.  Another one bites the dust.  -Queen

I got my Patriot hoody on today.  I’m circling the wagons today.  Waving my red white and blue flaggons today.  Doin’ a little braggins today.  Slaying some dragons today.  Hey Patriots.  Wanna make all this go away?  Huh?  Do ya?  If you do, if you do, just keep doing what you’re doing.  Keep winning ball games.  Keep winning ball games in the middle of this shit storm.  Keep doing your best Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore impersonation.  If I say it’s safe to surf this beach Captain, then it’s safe to surf this beach.  I mean, I’m not afraid to surf this place, I’ll surf this whole fucking place!  Charlie don’t surf.  The Patriots surf.  Surfed last night all right.   I love the smell of napalm in the morning.  The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill.  Smelled like… victory.   Smells like victory this morning.  Huh?  Don’t it?        Read More »
