Odds and ends from the sports world

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that A Rod is off to a shit-hot start to the MLB season. The guy is second fastest to 10 home runs behind Mike Schmidt. He didn't get to 10 last year until late May. 2 of those 10 have been game-winners, which for a noted choke artist like A Rod is a big deal. He's actually been pretty money this year, but this weekend will certainly tell a lot about whether or not he is clutch in the eyes of Yankees fans. This is the first of what will be many series against the Red Sox that will no doubt be overhyped to the extreme by ESPN. If he can get some key hits during the series it's going to be huge for A Rod's confidence. Otherwise, this bastard is going to shrink back into his hole and pout like a little bitch for the rest of the season--and all this from a guy that likes A Rod!


If you're shocked Greg Oden is entering the NBA draft then you were the same moron shocked when that fat pig Rosie O'Donnell came out of the closet. There's no way this guy was going to pass up that much money to play college ball another year. Part of me wishes he had stayed because watching him dominate a bunch of 6'9" "centers" was a bit fun and it would've been cool to see what he could do for a full season with two good hands. Oh well. I still think this guy is probably 35--he's the Danny Almonte of college basketball.


Along with Patrick Ewing, Willie McGee, and Otis Nixon, Kevin McHale was quite possibly one of the ugliest people in sports. As a child I seriously had nightmares about this fug dude. He looked like he was jaundiced on the court and was about to keel over dead at any second. Keeling over dead at any second is what T-wolves fans were thinking when McHale announced he was sticking around for next year. People were excited when he first showed up in Minnesota, but this guy's been all downhill lately with very questionable personnel moves. Looks like the "Fire McHale!" bags will be around for another season.


Some of you might be wondering what this picture has to do with sports. For those of you who have never seen him, this is the picture of Mitch Mustain in the Arkansas football media guide from last year. This dude is a serious little bitch, who it turns out is transferring to USC next month. This guy has got to be the biggest crybaby. When his and some of the other players' parents went straight to the school administration with concerns about playing time, each of the players should have cut their balls off. There was the parent who claimed their son would be hauling in 80+ catches at another school. That guy should've been given a drug test on the spot. I went to Auburn University so I know a thing or two about college football and the fanatical following it has in the South. But this was ridiculous. Houston Nutt will have arguably the best backfield in the country next year with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. He'd be a complete dipshit to not put the focus on those two guys. Mustain is just another spoiled little punk who bought into his own hype. Here's to hoping that slapdick rides the bench for the rest of his career...
