Am I a Bodeist?

Umm…let me think about that.  Hell no.  I can’t stand that guy.

I can’t stand the Philadelphia Eagles, but I respect them so much for doing this
that I may just have to root for them to make a run for the Super Bowl
this year.  It would be so great to see them win without T.O.  Let this be a lesson to all of the other ego-maniacal professional [...]

The PGA Tour is considering making sweeping changes to it’s schedule as well as the possible addition of a points system similar to the one currently used in Nascar.  The move would be an effort to strengthen the end of the tour’s season, which has historically suffered from a lack of commitment by the sport’s [...]

A couple days ago the NCAA sent a letter to FSU president T. K. Wetherell with the news that Florida State has been removed from the list of schools with "hostile" nicknames.  I guess they finally got the message through Wetherell’s lawsuits that the Seminole tribe of Florida has been and continues to be in [...]

It looks like the only thing that can bring Democrats and Republicans together in the state of Florida is FSU.  I too support my alma mater…the only way we should change the nickname is if the United States Supreme Court says we must.  Until then, you can count on the Seminoles putting up a fight [...]

Tim Brown to Nascar

Last year he was on my fantasy football team.  Maybe next year he’ll be on my fantasy racing team!
Famed wide-receiver and former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown of the Oakland Raiders announced his retirement from pro football yesterday.  In the same breath, he announced that he will attempt to become the first African-American majority owner [...]

I was watching the final round of the British Open earlier today and I saw one of the greatest commercials I’ve seen in a long time.  It was a Nike retro highlight reel of an old British Open at St. Andrew’s Old Course featuring Tiger Woods as a toddler.  Actual video of Tiger hitting shots [...]

Sunday Red

I got my hands on a ticket to the final round of the 105th U.S. Open yesterday.  I had never been to a major and I had never seen Tiger Woods in person…so I was very excited.  The championship took place at Pinehurst in North Carolina, about a 4-hour drive from where I live.
On the [...]

Sex Huts

In an effort to make fans feel "very" welcome during their visit for the 2006 World Cup, a couple host cities in Germany are building "sex huts."  Prostitution is legal in parts of some German cities but officials worry that there may not be enough red light district to go around when hoards of soccer [...]

PSP Pitching

Minnesota Twins pitcher Johan Santana owns a PSP, but he uses it a little differently than the rest of us.  Before he pitches a game, he has gotten into the habit playing his upcoming opponent on his PSP to prepare himself better.  Obviously, it doesn’t warm up his arm or prepare him physically, but it [...]
