Random Rantings (Sports Edition)

• The NBA season starts on Wednesday. Who would have known. I know I wouldn't have known except that crime has risen in America recently, must be the NBA season.
• The NBA is going to allow their referees gamble in casinos during the off season. Brilliant. Can they also slap around hookers and start baby fights? Sign-me up.
• The World Series was completely lame.
• They had Boyz 2 Men and a dude from Earth, WInd and Fire sing the national anthem. Couldn't find Tony, Toni, Tone, or Milli Vanilli? How about either an artist from one of those cities or someone who has made music in the last 10 years.
• Now we have 6 long months of no sport really worth paying attention to.
• The NFl had a game in London over the weekend, why? I watched the first 2 minutes on Fox and they broadcasters actually said the excitement level was bigger than the Super Bowl. Please, it was the Giants and the Dolphins. The Dolphins might be the worst team in the last 6 years. And they Giants are all ass-holes.
• How are the Rams 0-7? According to pres-season polls they have a top 3 running back, top 5 wide receiver, and top 10 quarterback. You would think that would correlate to one victory. The Packers have no running back, one top 10 wide receiver, and a 37 year-old quarterback and they are 5-1.
• If I see one more report on Sports Center about how the fires in California are inconveniencing athletes and how these teams had to practice elsewhere, I am going to go down the their studios and punch Stuart Scott in the face. Who cares. These fires have killed 13, and dissplaced thousands of people with no fire insurance or place to go.
