Occasionally Coherent Ramlbings #13

I'm Back!! I am out of the cave where I was hibernating but I am back and ready to rock

Skip Bayless on questioning if Rafael Palmeiro should be in the Hall of Fame should be bound and gagged. His point is that he never was an MVP or the best player at his position. And them just goes on to say he is a consistent hitter for a long time. Hmm...to me a consistent hitter with 3,000 hits, on the cusp of 600 home runs and one of the prettiest swings in the history of baseball, not to mention will be remembered for Viagra commercials merits a Hall Of Fame induction.

Terrell Owens: I always liked him. I felt like he played hard and had fun. The Sharpie was hilarious. He dominates defenses and can be a one-man wrecking crew. He orchestrates a trade from Baltimore to Philadelphia, signs a new contract and with his efforts, Donovan McNabb and a solid defense make it to the Super Bowl. Now he wants more money. Sorry, I think I just vomited. But that is all I have to say about how I now feel about Terrell Owens.

NHL finally agreed to a labor contract. Ummm, who you ask? Exactly. NEXT!

Larry Brown out, Flip Saunders in. Even with all the issues that were hanging over the Detroit Pistons head at the beginning of the playoffs with Larry Brown, and he still got them to within one game of winning Back-to-Back Championships. Meanwhile, Saunders had a lot of talent (Garnett) and a choker (Latrell Sprewell) and he could barely keep them above .500. Joe Dumars just saw his job go from very strong to a countdown of days that he and Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson can go play shuffleboard.

White Sox and Cardinals have run away with their divisions. It helps when you are a very good team in some bad divisions. The second best team in the Cardinal's division, the Cubs, have talent and are moodier than a woman pregnant with twins and whom is 10 days past her due date.

Ricky Williams is back. Now Ricky dont smoke this, excuse me, blow this opportunity. I know it would be hard to live without a few more million dollars. By the way, I heard Master P has another great contract for you to sign.

Lance Armstrong is blowing the field away in the Tour de Surrender. I think it is awesome that he is doing it. But Lance, please, please, take the needle out of your arm before you ride the final stage.

I do love how a stage was delayed in the Tour de France because of cattle farmers were protesting the French government reintroducing wolves to the Alps. Europe is crazy.

An Aussie won the World Series of Poker's Main Event, Texas Hold'Em. And with it, he won $7.5 Million dollars. More than Tiger Woods or the entire purse of the British Open. So, naturally, as the dollars keep growing for poker, you will have more kids learning how to play poker. Which will mean they will learn how to better bluff or lie. Which is something we need more of in this world. Granted, I have pockets Aces...or do I?

I am back, and I will be writing these on a normal basis again. Ahhh, it feels good to stretch my legs again.
