Sports Time


I feel obligated to report on the "2nd Retiring" of Brett Favre. It is what it is, it is a year too late, but it is time. I would have to think that the New York Jets organization is kicking themselves for ever even acquiring him. They traded away their would be starter (I have no idea who will be their starter next year), they wasted a season in which they could have won the division (for crying out loud, the Dolphins won it), and they lost one of the better young coaches out there. Oh well, hopefully his last season as a Jet doesn't tarnish his legend in the record books.



The Brewers announced their bobble head lineup for games this season. Worst lineup yet.
  • Braun- had him last year, hopefully this year he is in All Star jersey
  • Trevor Hoffman- okay, he is a legend, let's just hope he doesn't implode by that time and is irrelevant. Also if it played Hell's Bells, that would be bad a@@.
  • Jason Kendall- okay, I like the guy, but I don't need a bobble of another catcher, they are all the same, plus he is old and fragile... he could be irrelevant by this time.
  • Brat- okay, helps to finish the racing sausage collection
  • Jeff Suppan- WTF? Suppan over Gallardo or Parr. If you make one of Suppan, you might as well make one for that guy who helps you park by directing you with those glowing sticks. Both positions are useless and could be done by a one-armed, dyslexic monkey.
  • Doug Melvin- WTF? I like the guy, but don't want a bobble of him. How about Macha? Or as Snow.Man suggested, the guy from the Miller HIgh LIfe Commercials.
  • Other suggestions- an action bobble of Fielder pushing Parra, CC in a Yankees uniform, Fielder in a Yankees uniform, Yost bagging groceries at Pick 'n Save, Sheets on the operating table, Cameron with a needle of steroids in his ass, or Anastasio rolling in money.

Finally, I was perusing the paper today and for some reason read the questions to Mark Stewart in the sports section. Today's theme was the Wisconsin Badgers, who are having an off-year but have won 3 in row. One question reads: ""We have too many slow white guys and I think Bo Ryan needs to recruit more athletic black players." Wow. I would be embarrassed to write that question.

Maybe Melvins will have a "real hair" mustache a la the old Turnbow bobblehead.
