Saturday late morning caffeine fueled rant:
It sure was fun making fun of the Greeks inept preparations for the Olympics, but, boy is it that over now. Great job, Athens. And no, they didn’t turn French on us and treat the American visitors badly. At my current rate of being wrong, Gloria Allred might yet win miss Congeniality at the Miss America pageant.

Have you seen “Bend it Like Beckham”? A right cute movie, as my grandmother Rodgers from Louisville Kentucky would’ve said. It really captures the unbridled joy of the youthful love of sports and friendship, especially when lightening strikes and the two combine.

Craig Kilborn has announced he is leaving CBS’s “Late Late Show.” Can you say contract ploy? What’s he going to do if he leaves, hire someone to kill Bruce Jenner and takeover his infomercials?

Speaking of that, I saw my former Decathlon idol, Bruce Jenner, on one of his countless, smarmy info-huckstering shows. A chunk of my youth died a horrible death. What is with the face lift and the hair? Jenner looks like the lesbian partner of a Torrance, CA plastic surgeon.

Go Cubs.
