It's about time

Being a Brewers fan and being exposed to the Dome while being swept last week really put me into a funk. I don't know what the hell it is about the big inflatable toilet, but we just can't play good baseball there. Left with the prospect of being unable to attain my revenge because of a mid-week Brewers-Twins series at Miller Park, I was put into a mild sports depression.

Then we swept the Reds and Brandon Phillips talked shit. I'm better now.

Took this excerpt from a JSOnline post about All-Star voting. "One lucky fan will win a night in Ryan Braun’s suite at Miller Park, complete with meet and greet with Braun before the game. Full details are available on the website." What are the chances that this "lucky fan" is some random hottie that Braun plows through before the game? I'd say it's at roughly 97%.

So Donald Driver wants a new contract? Even though he's 34, the clear #2 WR on the team and makes 6.5 and 7 million dollars over the next two years? What? Did Javon Walker get really bored last week and mail Donald over some of his Kool-Aid? Here's a tip, don't take the same career steps as Javon "I was found bludgeoned in a Las Vegas hallway" Walker. Here's the ESPN article about it. I like how they conveniently mis-reported how much he's making over the next two years. Way to really dig into the story Bristol. Even after undercutting his salary by 3 million dollars a year they still make it sound like he's insane for demanding a new contract.

I'd probably have a lot more to say, especially about the Brewers, if I could actually watch some of their damn games, Bob paints a beautiful picture over the radio, but I sometimes lose 2-3 innings due to ramblings about the Hoover Dam and what not...

J-Walk

Javon Walker.


First off, I want to say I hope he goes on to live a long fulfilling life in general.

Second, this is reason number 412 why I'm glad the Pack traded him for 3 cents on the dollar.

Third, the following is not condoning whatever the guy or guys did to J-Walk. Whomever did this probably deserves to be in prison.

Fourth, it would serve him right if he was hurt so badly he never played again. People that make decisions like he allegedly made, should not be allowed to reap the benefits of ridiculous athletic ability, and insane combination of size and speed. He does not deserve the privileges that God (or whatever) has bestowed upon him, while John Doe busts his ass in the paper mill for $12 bucks an hour and his wife Mary Jane Rottencrotch cleans rooms at the Super 8 for $6 an hour. These people quite probably had to work twice as hard to be able to afford an extremely modest house in a lower middle class shithole of a neighborhood in Small Town, U.S.A. Meanwhile, J-Walk (who just a year ago had his friend's brains splattered all over his chest after a club incident) is out at not one but TWO different Vegas clubs, again, allegedly, spraying $1000 bottles of Dom P all over people. He did this even though this was the same activity that got his teammate shot right in front of him. Even though, Oakland for some reason gave him a huge contract in the offseason, despite the fact that he was given this contract even though he is coming off his second major knee injury. He did this in a town that he doesn't live in, on stage in front of a bunch of people, while wearing a $100,000 watch. And he did it two nights in a row.

Now, he has an injury that could very well keep him out of action. As this article also points out, this very same injury has ended another Oakland Raiders' career. But J-Walk doesn't care. He doesn't care how truly fortunate he is. He doesn't care how many other people are counting on him. All he cares about is flossin' and conning his next team into trusting him. Good riddance.
