Snatch it back
and holds it, baby, one more time, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers
San Francisco
Giant reliever, Chad Gaudin, was arrested and charged with open and gross
lewdness when he was drunk and fondled a woman at a hospital; who does this guy
think he is? A New England Patriot?
New England
Patriot safety, Alfonzo Dennard, was arrested for drunk driving; man, between
him and Aaron Henandez, these guys know how to put the riot in Patriot.
It has been
weeks and that little NSA snitch, Edward Snowden, is still cowering in the
Moscow airport; it is so bad, at this rate, Snowdon could suffer a serious
Cinnabon overdose.
In Pittsburgh, a
man got arrested at a Taylor Swift concert for holding up a sign that said
“Taylor Swift is with Satan.” The man was not charged and was released with a
warning: “Don’t do that again, Justin Bieber.”
An Oklahoma
woman was sentenced to 25-years in prison for hiding a loaded gun in her vagina
with the handle sticking out; police examined her and she appeared to be going
off half-cocked.
Since you asked:
It is amazing
how teams have personalities. And they seem to always mimic that iconic player
who personified that team.
The New York
Yankees are a perfect melding of the slick style of Joe DiMaggio and the burly
crassness of a hard-drinking lady’s man in both Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle.
The Chicago
Bears will always be a combination of Mike Ditka and Dick Butkus. That’s what
made Brian Urlacher such a classic and great Bear. Broad shoulders, crew cut,
thick Chicago accent, Midwestern hard-working values and the love of hitting
someone. Hard.
The Chicago
Cubs? A perfect combination of the smooth, laid-back friendly charm of Ernie
Banks combined with the hard-working Ron Santo, complete with Ronnie’s thick
Chicago accent.
The San Diego
Chargers will always be that dashing bearded-gunslinger and body surfer, Dan
Fouts.
Some teams’
personality is not having a personality. The Marlins, Miami Heat, Houston
Texans, White Sox, Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with a little
West Covina and Azusa thrown in come to mind.
For both good
and bad, the Ravens will always be Ray Lewis.
Oakland Raiders
will always be Kenny Stabler. Dallas Cowboys? Don Meredith. (Sorry Staubach)
US Olympic Track
team? Steve Prefontaine, Lee Evans and Bob Seagren. Green Bay Packers? Exact
combination of Alabama clean-cut boy, Bart Starr, and handsome and
wildly charming Paul Hornung. Their Southern charm fit in perfectly in Wisconsin.
The San
Francisco Forty Niners combine the personality of their city, along with the
awesome smell of boiling shrimp and crabs, sourdough bread and burning cable
car brakes, and the awesome spookiness of Alcatraz along with the cool-guy-
mentality of both Joe “Cool” Montana and the golfer, John Brodie and the
graceful Jerry Rice.
San Francisco
Giants will always be Willy Mays before he turned into such a bitter old man.
Another team
that has the personality of its city? The Milwaukee Brewers.
One team
specifically had a personality and has since lost it. The New York Jets were
all about Joe Willy Namath, but now, with Rex and Sanchez, they are silly green
and white clowns.
New York Giants
are an exact combination of Frank Gifford and Lawrence Taylor.
Los Angeles
Dodgers will always smack of Don Drysdale and Sandy Kofax with that awesome red
number. The Lakers are Magic and Jerry West, in that order. San Diego Padres?
Tony Gwynn. Which is not a whole lot of personality.
