Please Support Our Troops...

I know that there's not a whole lot of people who read this goofy little blog...but those that do, please remember our troops. Regardless of why they're there - they're there. And we want them home safely. I'm sure some folks have already had this forwarded with the note about Lizzie...just watch the video...it's about 5 minutes long and it's too good not to post.

Carl Edwards a Roid Head??

-->

So we've all known that Carl Edwards is the muscle boy of NASCAR...he's on magazine covers showing off his manliness...backflipping like a monkeyboy after wins...

Is Carl Edwards on the roids? Matt Kenseth talking about their Martinsville incident after the race said, "You don't know what to expect with him. That's the thing that's a little bit troublesome. One minute, he has so much respect for you, and he's real friendly and everything's so much fun. The next minute he wants to kick your butt and he's swearing at you. It's a little scary. You never know what you're going to get. I thought it was good in a way that the cameras were there because a lot of us see that, and nobody else does because he kind of puts on a different front."

So one minute he's fine, the next he wants to kick your butt? He's either bipolar or on the roids, right?

He drives a racecar...look at Dale Jr, Jeff Gordon, and Tony Stewart...then look at Carl Edwards...maybe he is. Not that it matters, but it might explain him flipping out (pun intended) on Matt Kenseth.

And the Streak screeches to a hault!

The BoSox busted the Rockies in the mouth last night...13-1? Really?

The way I figure, the Rockies can respond one of 2 ways. Given that they're young, we'll use a schoolyard bully analogy.

They'll either be too young to realize that the bully just slugged them in the mouth and they're supposed to be scared now, and they'll get things back on track.
OR they WILL realize that a 12 year old hits a LOT harder than an 8 year old and they'll fold like a wet wrag and be swept right out of this.

We'll find out tonight which way they'll go. I like the Rockies - hopefully, they'll shake this off and this 13-1 drubbing will wake them up.

But the Sox are very good...it might not matter if the Rockies wake up or not.

Can't Do It, Sally...

To the UT fans that think Fulmer has earned the right to set his own date…As an Arkansas fan, I have 2 words for you. Nolan Richardson. He won the Championship in 94, went back to the title game in 95…then lost his mind. And we gave that bubble-headed idiot a pass for far too long.

By the time he finally uttered those famous words “If they go ahead and pay me my money, they can take the job tomorrow," he had done serious damage to our program…enter Stan Heath who won just enough to keep him from getting fired. Now here we are 12 years after our last title game…FINALLY looking like we have some Conference potential. I’m not talking NCAA tournament…just in the SEC.

Sounds pretty similar to Fulmer’s situation. Lots of optimism for the SEC, but nobody’s talking national title. Thanks for the title, Phil, but much like Tessio told Tom about Michael in the Godfather, “Tell Michael it was strictly business. I always liked him”…then maybe take Phil out to be shot...

On Second Thought...

The more I've thought about my comments on ol' Steve Austin - The Six Million Dollar Man - the more I've come to realize that I wouldn't care about that either. Throw a couple of 150 mph pitches and see how good A-Rod or Pujoles really are. Hit a Randy Johnson fastball and see just how far a baseball could go.

Androids...the new Andro.

And as a side note..."Six Million Dollars" to remake the bionic man doesn't sound nearly as impressive as it did back in the 70's.

Baseball needs to be more like Football!

So the Saints and the Hogs have something in common this morning – no longer in last place in their division this morning.

Which, oddly enough, is a distinction that the Memphis Tigers reached before the Razorbacks did. Of course, Arkansas didn’t play Rice or Marshall to win their 2 conference games…but then again, we did play Ole Miss to get the one conference win we DO have, so there’s that.

Just give Jeff Gordon his 5th Championship now and run Daytona next week. He’s better than Jimmie Johnson and I’m ready to see Jr. in that Mountain Dew Green #88. I’m also ready to see him in Victory Lane again, and sad to say that probably won’t happen again in the Budweiser Red #8.

I’m also tired of the steroid/HGH arguments…Babe Ruth didn’t have weight trainers and everything that today’s players have either. So it came out THIS weekend that (insert whoever it is THIS week here) was getting HGH. It’s a different time – and so long as nobody’s using a Steve Austin Bionic Man arm, then I don’t really care. Most people can’t tell you who won the world series 6 years ago – or 4 years ago – if it wasn’t their team. And the “baseball purists” need to get over themselves. It’s a freakin’ game. Ask the parents of St. Jude patients if it really matters that Barry Bonds or Mark or Sammy took steroids or HGH or garlic extract or ate their spinach like Popeye. It’s a game and it’s entertainment. Do like the NFL and NASCAR…Keep me entertained for 3 or 4 hours and go away until next week!! Or I suppose like the Razorbacks…irritate me to death for 3 hours and go away until next week.
