The Daily Nooner
Hey, remember a few months ago when everyone lost their shit because gas prices skyrocketed? Do you remember there was a level headed voice of reason out there that explained if all you yahoo’s hadn’t whipped yourselves into a frenzy over nothing that the gas prices would not have gone up. Well now that everyone has returned to normal, instead of super paranoia level, guess what has happened? That’s right; I paid a $1.89 for gas. Are you kidding me that is cheap as hell. Yeah America, yeah Gas!!!!
This just in, the Philadelphia Eagles bite monkey ass. Now I know a lot of guys are hurt, and you told you best player to sit on it and rotate, but there is no excuse for that type of effort. That was piss poor, an effort like that calls for a Jim Mora press conference. And I am not talking about the “playoffs” press conference; I am talking about his original meltdown when he left New Orleans
What time of the year is it folks? That’s right, it is BCS time. I love and hate the BCS all at once. I know everyone will scream and shout about how the system doesn’t work, even though it panned out this year. But what I have a bigger problem with is; what is the point of having the rankings below #’s 1 and 2 if you are just going to choose whatever 2 at large teams you want anyway? The BCS obviously just wanted Ohio State and Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, so why bother doling out rankings that show Oregon and LSU higher than them? All that being said, I am kind of glad things worked out the way they did, because outside of the national championship game I have 2 games which I cannot wait to watch; the Orange Bowl with Penn State vs. Florida State and the Peach Bowl (easily the best game on paper) with LSU vs. Miami.
It is official, and I know Andrew will kill me for this, but I am driving the Indianapolis Colts bandwagon. Like Robert Duval in “The Apostle” had the One Way Road to Heaven bus, I have the One Way Road to Indianapolis bus (for anyone who doesn’t know what the hell I am talking about and hasn’t seen The Apostle, do yourself a favor and go see it). I will be coming to a town near you and picking up anyone who wants to get on the bus. We will be making tour stops in New Orleans, then Indianapolis and then on our way to Detroit to await our conquering hero’s.
Speaking of ridiculous football picks, I was looking back on my NFL preview from earlier this season, and I could not have been more wrong, on just about everything. Now, injuries have played a major part in some of my misjudgments, but more importantly I have two major players still alive. My Super Bowl prediction was Panthers v Colts, and right now that looks pretty darned good. Of course that will all change in 2 weeks when Peyton Manning and Jake Delhomme get hurt.
AND
How excited am I beginning to get about this World Cup of baseball thing? Very excited. I have been trying to figure out how this is all going to work out, but in Bud we trust. Over the last few days different players are beginning to announce their intentions to play for their countries. And it has been a who’s who of MLB players, which is what we want to see. Barry Bonds, Miguel Tejada, Pedro Martinez, and Dontrelle Willis have all said recently that they intend to play.

Bring that Bandwagon to Teaneck, your brother want to jump on. Besides being a great team Indy has one of the great personalities in the NFL in Peyton Manning. The only thing that could make it a better season for him would be (I know this a loooooong shot) to play his brother in the Super Bowl. It would be a great moment for the whole Manning family, and I hope it comes to pass. (hu hu, I said pass, get it, get it)
Is Peyton Eli's brother???? Get used to that question!!!!!!!
Hey Fatty,
There were technically no at-large BCS selections this year. By BCS rule Notre Dame is an automatic qualifier with 9 wins and top 6 BCS finish. Also, if the numer 4 team is not a conference champ, then they are automatically in. Ohio State finished #4. That means, the Fiesta Bowl basically had to take them, not that they are complaining. West Virginia and Florida State are the two teams that don't belong, but I guess you can't argue, they did win their conference. Even though the Big East is not much more than a 1-AA conference. Anyway, try to win some games or Odom is out.
Stat of the day for you:
Offensive touchdowns:
Vikings 19
Saints 19
Lions 19
Bills 17
Bears 17
Cards 17
Browns 16
Texans 16
Jets 14
Ravens 13
49ers 13
SHAUN ALEXANDER - 22
That Shaun Alexander stat is very impressive. Also, the Colts are pretty damn good. Even when their D gives up 40, the O scores 50. Peyton Manning is a great QB and I think they might lose to SD or SEA, ut I think they will win it all. They will have home field and the Super Bowl is in a dome this year.
Sorry bout that. I've stepped out of the cold to warm myself up by the HOT STOVE!!!!!
I won't bore you non-baseball, commie bastards too much, what with your NFL and their lovely parity where everyone is a winner eventually, even the Bungles, but as for the World Baseball Championship, I'm sure you know by now, but it's pool play (with John Smoltz and Mike Piazza playing for Italy, isn't that precious?) with the top two advancing. The quarters will be in LA and Puetro Rico and the championship will be in San Diego.
This sounds like a lot of fun and like kris, I can't wait. But I also can't wait for someone's big name player to go down for a long period of time in this thing or, God Forbid, someone like Pedro pitching the Dominicans to a title, then sucking like an Alaskian whore for the first 3-4 months of the regular season because he threw his arm out in March.
Nevertheless, I'm excited to get baseball that matters in March and with my XM radio, I'm sure I'll be able to hear every pitch.
