Hmm, He Looked Like A Bowling Pin! USA vs. Mexico It’s Tusker Time!
Michael Vick Seen In Chicago, Ends Up In Philly
On Tuesday, TMZ.com reported that Michael Vick was spotted at the Chicago O’Haire Airport. On Thursday, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, in a switch-a-roo. I guess when it was reported that Vick was in Chicago, Eagles front office staff rushed to sign Vick. This year (before Vick’s signing) the Eagles signed Donovan McNabb to a two year deal. Vick also received a 2 year contract. It smells like Donovan McNabb’s days are numbered in Philly. If you asked D-Nabb about it he’ll tell you he’s happy that Vick is an Eagle, but I know that underneath his classy surface, he’s boiling. Friday’s Philadelphia newspapers ostracized the Eagles for signing Vick, one headline read: “Hide Your Dogs!” with a picture of Michael Vick next to it smiling. What I don’t get about this situation is the fact that Vick bankrolled a dog fighting ring, and served 23 months -in prison-. Browns receiver Donte Stallworth was convicted of DUI Manslaughter and served 24 days -in county jail-. Everyone should get off of Vick’s ass now, he’s paid his dues already.
The Red Sox can’t catch a break. Heck, they can’t even hit the ball because opposing pitchers keep pinging their batters. Ask Kevin Youkilis. The Red Sox slugger was fined and suspended after he was hit twice by Detroit Tigers’ pitchers and decided to charge the mound to beat down the pitcher. The Tigers’ pitcher actually caught Youkilis and threw him to the ground, but in any event both players were fined and suspended. All of this happened after last week’s incident between the Rays and the Red Sox, where pings were exchanged in that game too. The Red Sox uniforms do make the players look like giant bowling pins though!
0 Wins 23 losses and 1 tie. That’s the United States Soccer teams’ record in Mexico. They just don’t win there. How could a country full of superstar athletes have a soccer team that sucks so bad? Maybe it’s the low scoring in the game, or the lack of hitting, but either way soccer has not caught on in the U.S. like it was supposed to, and probably never will unless Team USA can put a quality product on the futbol field. Seriously, can you name one, just one famous soccer player that’s a product the U.S.?
Yeah I said Tusker. You probably haven’t heard yet, but the new upstart football league has awarded the city of Orlando a football franchise, The Florida Tuskers. The Tampa Bay Rays ownership decided to dip their stick into the league, and became a minority owner of the Tuskers. Some say the reason for the Rays getting involved would be to keep their moving options open by rubbing shoulders with Orlando politicians, that may be, but I really think that if the Rays where to move from St. Pete, Orlando would be the last spot on their list.
