Stompin’, chompin’ and rompin’, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


How can you tell?
Fred Thompson has bowed out of the Presidential race; yeah, nobody else could notice any difference either.

We kid LT
“American Idol” aired showing contestants in San Diego. There was an awkward moment when the Chargers LaDainian Tomlinson walked in to perform but then sat out due to a hyper-extended tonsil.

Oh Deion, please . . .
Of all people, NFL Network analyst Deion “Powderpuff” Sanders criticized LaDainian Tomlinson’s toughness for not playing in the AFC Championship. That’s like Britney Spears making fun of Sir Paul McCartney’s fake British accent.

To put a finer point on it, there were Gatorade buckets that saw more hits during a game than Deion Sanders.


Not only could Deion have played in a dress, he could have bought that dress from Nordstroms and returned it after the game without any questions asked.

Deion Sanders used to openly brag about games he referred to as no-hitters where he did not make one tackle or one block. Having Deion Sanders question anyone's toughness is like having Lindsay Lohan providing backseat driving instructions.

In a related story to Deion Sanders questioning LaDanian Tomlinson’s toughness, today Dennis Kucinich was highly critical of Shaquille O’Neal’s play in the low post.

As great a player as Deion Sanders was, and he was amazing, offenses had to plan around him, what does anyone think about Deion now except using him as a punch line to jokes about preening, prancing, showboating, trash-talking and dressing like a colorblind gay pimp?

For Deion Sanders to publicly criticize LaDainian Tomlinson’s heart we may have to replace the word hypocrite with Deion-ocrite.
