News From All Over
It’s only May for frak’s sake. At least OTAs are underway in the NFL. Which means we’re getting ever so close to the start of… training camp. At least the NBA and NHL playoffs are over alr- what… really? how far are they… oh really. Anyway, the end of the off-season is much nearer that it was the last time we met. Large men in plastic armor will soon stride grassy fields and do battle for our entertainment. I, for one, can’t wait.
Shaun King Says “WTF?”
Okay, so the Bucs went against my wishes and drafted Josh Freeman. And the rebuilding begins. Off goes Griese and Josh Johnson. Let me tell ya something son, no one was putting up a smokescreen over you. Byron Leftwich is, appearantly, a capable NFL quarterback. As a Bucs fan I (impotently) demand that Freeman be named starter as soon as he puts pen to paper to sign his contract. It’s the only way to make the investment pay off. Letting him sit behind McCown or Leftwich will only serve to waste the team’s money.
Unless the Bucs wind up in the highly unlikely scenario that San Diego found themselves a few season ago. Having two highly regarded starter-capable quarterbacks on the roster. I serously doubt that will be the case. Does anyone, realistically, this this team wins more than five games in 2009?
James Harrison, Douchebag
If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl, so as far as I’m concerned he (Obama) would have invited Arizona if they had won.
That’s some mighty fine logic there Jimmy. I guess he’s only been on this planet a few months. The winner of most major American sports championships are invited to the White House throughout the year following their win. The Phillies and Gators have recently completed audiences with the Chief Executive as well. And I’m sure the Rays and Sooners would have been invited had they emerged victorious.
A recent update to this story indicates that Harrison may have a fear of flying, which is why he is not making the trip. Why not just say “I fly enough during the season, I’m not flying during my time off.” Or something else that people can relate to?
Jimbo’s Jumbos
St. Bobby has all but acknowledged that he will continue to sit on the sidelines taking up space at Seminoles games through the 2010 season. So, instead of leaving on his terms, he’s going to wait until a contractually-mandated cash-bomb is about to go off before he’ll relinquish his honorary title. So much for the ‘Noles coming back to respectability before we make contact.
XLVII Goes Marching In
The 2013 Super Bowl (47) will be held in New Orleans. Future sites:
XLIV (44) - 2010 - LandShark Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida (5)
XLV (45) - 2011 - Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas (1)
XLVI (46) - 2012 - Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana (1)
XLVII (47) - 2013 - Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
XLVIII is still on the block with Tampa and (still?) London rumored to be in the running.
