Alright, I'm not gonna jump on Tebow like Colin Cowherd does, but, come on. He does not belong starting for an NFL team. Maybe at tight end. Being the worlds biggest Vince Young supporter, I can't get past the reactions of his teammates. The body language. It is a fact his fellow athletes don't feel his mojo/leadership.
Case in point, watch the actions of his fellow offensive linemen/teammates:
I'm no Tebow hater or lover, but in every highlight I've seen of him getting sacked, I've yet to see an O-lineman help him up. I guess he's got Jesus for that. Amen.

Wade Boggs likes Miller Lite (like me)
This is an OLD story, but many have not heard it, and its one of my faves.
THE ORIGIN OF BOGGS
Posted by Hank Yerzimbeck April 25th, 2007
We’ve had a few questions come up about Boggs, and why we refer to tasty Miller Lites as Boggs. Well my friends, open your ears and I’ll pour in a tale.
I heard the legendary story over my car radio as I was heading down I-5 to work about a year ago, listening to Mitch in the Morning on 950 KJR, as usual. For some reason or another, Mitch was gone that day so Steve Sandmeyer was hosting the show, and former Mariners and Yankees pitcher Jeff Nelson was sitting in as his sidekick.
Sandmeyer was killing some time by making small talk about baseball and about Nelly’s career and exploits as a major leaguer. The conversation turned to some of the funniest things Nelly had seen in his career when Sandy asked something like “who was the best with the ladies out of everyone you were around in baseball?” Nelson said that it was tough to say for sure, but that he figured it was probably Andre Dawson, the former Expos, Cubs, Red Sox, and Marlins slugger.
The two shared a laugh about the Hawk’s game, and then Sandmeyer stumbled upon the most compelling question ever articulated in an interview: “who would you say drank the most beer out of everyone you ever played with?” The following colloquy sheds some light on one of drinking’s biggest stars and on one of the greatest drinking feats of all time.
Sandy: Who would you say drank the most beer out of everyone you ever played with?
Nelson: Easy, Wade Boggs…..easy
Sandy: (laughing) Really!? Wade Boggs?
Nelson: Oh, yeah, without a doubt. I’ve never seen anyone drink as much beer as he did in my life:
Sandy: (laughing) Get outta here, alright, give me an example, like how much did he drink?
Nelson: Oh, I’d say, on a typical road trip, east coast to west coast [Nelly played with Boggs on the Yankees], say a road game to Seattle……Wade would drink anywhere between 50 and 60 beers.
Sandy: NO WAY!! 50 or 60 beers. That is impossible.
Nelson: No, I know…I know how crazy that sounds, and I wouldn’t believe it myself unless I saw him do it…..numerous times. And he drank nothing but Miller Lite.
Sandy: How in the hell did he have time to drink that many beers. For God’s sake, how many times did he have to go to the bathroom?
Nelson: I’m not kidding you Steve. Seriously. Wade was the kind of guy who was always the first one at the club house. So, he’d get to the clubhouse, and he’d bring a six pack with him. He’d be there drinking a beer when someone showed up, and as we were all packing our stuff up out of our lockers and getting our bags ready for the trip, Wade would sit there and drink that whole six pack.
Now, at the time, we were flying out of New Jersey, so it was somewhat of a drive from Yankee stadium to the airport in New Jersey. Wade would drink another couple of beers on the bus to the airport. At the time, we were flying this older airplane, it couldn’t make it across the country without refueling, and it wasn’t the fastest airplane in the sky. So we would stop in North Dakota or something. Wade would drink about a half rack between New Jersey and North Dakota, and it would take about a half-hour to an hour to refuel once we got there, so he’d have a few more beers while we were grounded in North Dakota.
Once we got back up in the air, Wade would drink another 10, 11, 12 beers on the way out to the west coast. The whole flight from coast to coast ususally took us well over 7 hours. We’d touch down at Sea-Tac, hop on the bus headed to the Kingdome, and Wade would have another beer or two on the bus. Then, all of us would get to the Kingdome and unpack our bags and sit around and BS with eachother, and Wade would have a beer in his hand the entire time. He was always one of the last people to leave the club house too. So I’d say that all in all, he drank over 50 beers on the trip, and this wasn’t just an isolated incident, he did that almost every time.
Sandy: Unbelievable. That’s absolutely unbelieveable.
Nelson: Yeah, I know, I’m not kidding though, let’s call up somebody and they’ll tell you man, they’ll tell you I’m not lying.
Sandy: Alright, who should we call up. Let’s take a commercial break, and then we’ll call up somebody and see if we can’t get to the bottom of this….This is absolutely amazing.
[commercial break: When the commercial end, Paul Sorrento, a former Mariner and Devil Ray, and Boggs’s and Nelly’s former teammate, is on the phone]
Nelly: Hey Paul, good to hear from you man, I haven’t talked to you in a while.
Sorrento: Yeah, what’s it been like, two, three years?
Nelly: Yeah. Hey, Paul, just to clarify now, I didn’t speak to you over the commercial break, and I haven’t talked to you about anything since we last talked a few years ago right?
Sorrento: Yeah, right.
Nelly: Alright Paul, we’ve been talking about Wade Boggs up here today in Seattle.
Sorrento: (laughing) Yeah, ole Wade huh.
Nelly: Yeah, alright Paul, I need you to answer one question for me, truthfully now….How many beers would Wade Boggs drink on an east coast to west coast road trip?
Sorrento: Oh, jeez, (exhaling like a flat tire) I don’t know, like 70.
Nelly, Sandberg, Sorrento, Hank: (Rolling on the ground laughing)

Wild Animals Loose in Ohio
JESUS CHRIST OHIO. Just when I thought I had seen the worst you could offer, you go and release 48 dangerous animals into your population. Maybe the NCAA can catch them before the SWAT teams kill them all!
May 5, 2011
In sports journalism, tough decisions have to be made. CBS made the all-time worst decision on May 5, 2011. Dumb moves by sports networks are everywhere, Craig James is still with ESPN, even though he killed 5 hookers in his time at SMU.
But on May 5, 2011, CBS let the money do the talking, and lost the greatest voice to ever call an NCAA tournament basketball game. May 5, 2011 will go down as a day of infamy. With all due respect CBS, leaving Gus Johnson to do football games on Versus is the stupidest move of all time......and COOOOOOLD BLOODED!!!
Jay Cutler has a message for Mike Martz
FINALLY something to talk about today! For those who don't know how this works, Mike Martz is the Offensive Coordinator in the booth. He radios the plays to QB coach Shane Day, who relays the message to QB Jay Cutler. Wait for the :22 second mark. Cutler relays his own message to Day for Martz. "Tell him I said F#!% You!!"

My dream birthday band
Here's that band I posted back on 10/6. They are apparently known as "The Mini Band." All I know is, that little girl is a hard ass on the axe!
Slow news day
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I like to refer to it as "The Oklahoma Effect." Anyway, here's one of my favorite web pictures.

OUch. That Saturday hurt
I've been away from the blog for a few days.....getting over OU takes some time. 2003 was probably the last one like this. 55-17. Damn. I'll take faith in knowing:
A. These are a bunch of 18 year old kids.
B. Jonathon Gray is on the way.
C. These ARE THE coaches to bring this team to the future.
I feel better now. Bring on Okie St. I hope Blake Gideon doesn't have too much bitch in him.

Garrett Gilbert to transfer from UT
September 5, 2008. I'm at Austin Westlake High School, with two friends, we'll call them fish and chip. My sister works for the Weslake district,so we had tickets sitting with Westlake faculty. We were there to see UT recruit Garrett Gilbert play for Lake Travis, but had to keep our excitement down, seeing as we were in enemy territory. Fast forward to January 7, 2010. Natinoal Championship game versus Alabama. Greg Davis calls a QB sneak..........it happened against K ST you old piece of shit, Colts out. Gilbert makes the most of what he's given in a losing effort. Now onto: The De-evolution of Garrett Gilbert:
Meet Britt Mitchell and Kyle Hix. They destroyed Garrett Gilbert. With absolutely no ability to pass protect AT ALL they let Gilbert be broken at the most important place, mentally. The young QB I watched pick Westlake apart in 2008, was a shell of himself. No Confidence equals no bueno, bash him all you want, that O line cost him his career.
Today is October 5, 2011. Garrett Gilbert has been released by the University of Texas. Sources say SMU is his destination. Garrett, I hope you have the protection to succeed like you did September 5, 2008. I still remember, I was there.
