Quick Hits

Sports:

  • Ryan Howard is in the same category as LeBron James, Bo Jackson, Albert Pujols, and the 6'8" Little Leaguer who looked just like Byron Leftwich: Man-childs.
  • Tiger Woods: Catching up to Annika Sorenstam of years past. (He also has the ability to cause rain, if you saw his win - last week. Not this week, or three tourneys ago, or four tourneys ago, or five tourneys ago.)
  • FSU and The U: All speed, all dominant, hard-hitting defenses. Good thing to see in college (once a year).
  • I, as much as anyone, agreed that College Football needed to be sped up. The change where the clock runs after the ball is set after a change of possession, however, is one of the worst and most flawed rule changes in sports. Simply don't go to commercial, start the play clock, BUT the game clock shouldn't run - no way. Ridiculous rule change.
  • Tier-2 Sports in America get elevated to Tier-1 during their marquee events...when viewed in HD. (I was already a tennis fan, though.)

Random:

  • Anyone know what the Yin-Yang Twin said on Flava of Love (even with the captions)? It was like listening to Camp Lo rap at Bone Thugs-N-Harmony like speed. Note: Hnnnnnnnnnnnn...is not what I'm looking for.
  • Flying cross-country with DirecTV makes a world of difference.
  • For you users out there, if you can believe it, Facebook is about to get even more addictive... or all-in-the-business... dependent upon your perspective.

Ryan Howard is actually 2 months OLDER than Albert Pujols. Most people don't realize that. That's how great Albert is. And he's this good with a name like Albert. Hasn't been done since that Belle guy.


And as for Facebook...I'm now convinced that the CIA is funding Facebook so they can keep tabs on the tens of millions (or more) of Americans who now use it. Think I'm kidding, check out the new features.


Spyware to a whole new power.

Tiger Woods = some sort of lesser god. I bet he kicks ass in street fighter
Ryan Howard = Sean Kemp- a beast in the making. No answer for him, hopefully he doesn't fall of like him though.
Annika = totally 'doable' - yes I am a chauvinist
college football = tecmo bowl
NFL = Madden (I actually love college football but the pros have better ads)

Flava of Love = Im buying the unrated dvd after the season just to see boots but I wish I could edit flava out of each clip
