Happy trails to you, until we meet again.  Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.  -Roy Rogers

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  You knew this was coming.  You knew with a healthy Tom Brady, Matt Cassel was going to become expendable.  Money to spendable.  To the Kansas City Chiefs he is sendable.  Yes sports fans, according to Peter King, the New England Patriots have traded quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel to Kansas City for the Chiefs’ second-round pick in the 2009 draft.  I am not going to get into the merits of this trade.  There’s plenty of time for that.  No, I am going to get into the merits of one Mister Matt Cassel.     Read More »

When I’m called off, I get a sawed off.  Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off.  -NWA

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Woo doggie!  Did you see it?  Did you see Shaq Daddy last night?  A long gone daddy in the USA last night.  A cool rockin’ daddy in the USA last night.  The Big Shaqtus.  The Big Cactus.  The Big Galactus.  What a night, what a night.  Shaq looked good last night.  No, Shaq looked great last night.  Looked like the Shaq of old last night.  Shaq:  “I think I’m the only player who looks at each and every center in the league and says, ‘That’s barbecue chicken down there.’”  Read More »

Wizards 113  Bulls 90:  I got excited.  I heard the black president was at the game last night.  I thought they meant the Black President was at the game last night.  I thought they meant Gilbert Arenas.  Now that would have been something.  Antawn Jamison was something.  Read More »

(ESPN 9:30PM ET)  Don’t forget sports fans, it was the Spurs who swept the Cavs right out of the Finals back in 2007.  As much I love LeBron and the other guys, I like these guys better.  I like the Spurs better.  Cleveland’s only salvation is, Tim Duncan may not play.  Get your popcorn ready!

Peace out homies!  Six Two and Even!

I am a patriot, and I love my country.  Because my country is all I know.  -Pearl Jam

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  I like this one.  I like this one a lot.  The New England Patriots have signed Fred Taylor.  I know he’s been beat up.  I know he’s been thrown out.  But he’s not down.  No he’s not down.  He’s been sharing the running duties with Maurice Jones-Drew and still has a little somethin’ somethin’ left in the tank.  Still some money in the bank.  Yardage he can still can crank.  Just like Antowain Smith cranked out yardage en route the Super Bowl.  Twice.  Get the papers, get the papers.  Just like Corey Dillon cranked out yardage en route to the Super Bowl.  Like those guys there, Fred Taylor was on the cusp of superstardom.  Like those guys there, he should help this football team.
