How could this guy have sucked so bad? He was so funny in "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poor Boys are playin’ bringin’ the new girls happy feet, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers


The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 83-79. in a sloppy and poorly played final game. In fact, it was the ugliest final since Susan Boyle was on “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Knowing what we all know now, watching Tiger Woods play the US Open on Father’s Day is like watching Ron Artest play on Not Crazy Day.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 83-79. To be candid, I doubt how knowledgeable these Lakers celebrity fans are about basketball. When asked what he thought about the game seven win, David Spade said “Great, can’t wait for game eight.”

In the World Cup, Mexico upset France 2-0. It was interesting how the game played out; Mexico kept sneaking across to the other team’s side and France just kept retreating.

A guy named Alvin Green won the primary for the South Carolina Senate. He was kicked out of the Army, has no job and he is charged with showing lewd photos to students. No military or economic knowledge and a pre-made sex scandal. He’s perfect for congress.

Argentina coach Diego Maradona vowed to run naked through Buenos Aires if his team wins the World Cup. For American sports fans, soccer just keeps getting better, as if those annoying horns and low-scoring ties weren’t bad enough, now we got a short, fat, ugly guy running around naked.

The US soccer team overcame a two goal deficit to comeback against Slovenia for a great tie. Thus causing the first time in US sports history the words great and tie have been used together.

Upon hearing we tied Slovania, most US sports fans asked: “The US tied a light bulb company?”

British Petroleum CEO, Tony Hayward, faced tough grilling by a congressional energy committee. Hayward compared it to a brutal dental appointment except, being British, he’s never had a dental appointment.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 83-79. After the game, Ron Artest thanked his psychiatrist. And then Ron Artest’s psychiatrist thanked god Ron didn’t mention her name.


Since you asked:

What a great Daddy Day Sunday. Went out Stand Up Paddle board surfing at Scripps/La Jolla Shores. Caught some good rides on a somewhat sloppy day. Ate carne asada tacos washed down with frosty Maggies and then napped/watched the Cubs game.

My daughter, Ann Caroline, got me an awesome Argentine spice rub for Dad Day, rubbed it on a beautiful top sirloin and slow grilled with smoke that puppy and served it up sliced with sautéed mushrooms and a red wine reduction sauce with a Yukon gold baker and a salad. Whew. Then watched the US Open.

That, Slattelletos and Nuggasaurases, in the words of the great Max Von Stock, does not suck.

Here is a fun and easy recipe that looks fancy and hard. Marinate chicken breasts in olive oil and garlic. Butterfly them open and place a slice of Mozzarella and two basil leaves, flap it back and close up. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around the breast and secure all with tooth picks. Grill over a medium flame, serve with a Marsalla wine and mushroom sauce with rice and steamed broccoli.

Hey, French soccer fans, don’t get too upset about your team’s World Cup selfish brat implosion. I mean come on, it’s not like, before the tournament began, one of your top players confessed to sleeping with an underage prostitute and still faces possible charges.

Oh, Franck Ribery did do that? Before or after he converted to Islam?

Well, you can take some comfort in knowing you didn’t falsely qualify for the World Cup on a double hit intentional hand ball against Ireland.

Thierry Henry did just that very thing?

There has to be some pride in the fact that two of your starters didn’t get in a fistfight on the flight to South Africa.

That rumor turns out to be true?

Well at least they came out hard to beat huge underdog Mexico in their first match.

What’s that? Mexico thumped the huge favorite France 2-0?

Well at least at halftime of that game France’s, Nicolas Anelka, didn’t unleash an obscenity-laced tirade insult at the coach, Raymond Domenech, which resulted in Anelka being expelled from the team.

That’s exactly what happened?

The good news is that incident inspired the team to unify and train hard for their upcoming match against South Africa.

You’re kidding. The team boycotted their next training session, two days prior to their game against South Africa in protest of Anelka’s getting tossed?

At the bare minimum the team announces they will play the last game against South Africa hard for the pride of their country.

France commits an atrocious dirty elbow by Yoann Gourcuff who gets a red card toss and France plays one man down? And then they play half heartedly to lose badly again 2-1 in a game that was not as close as the score sounds?

Wow, well, as bad as all of that is, at the very least the French will try to show some modicum of class and dignity after the game.

The despised French manager, Raymond Domenech, in a world record for poor sportsmanship, refuses to shake the hand of the winning South African coach?

Never mind, French soccer fans, you should feel humiliated and despondent. If you want Americans to stop making jokes about the French, you have to stop doing stuff like this.
