The Los Angeles
Lakers have lost eight games in a row on the road. So far this season the
Lakers are worse on the road than Lindsay Lohan after last call.
One of the big
Super Bowl stories is Baltimore Ravens linebacker, Ray Lewis, is accused of using
a banned substance, deer antler extract, to rehab his torn triceps. Lewis
denied it, but I am not sure, after practice he was seen on all fours slurping
water from a brook.
Now it looks
like Alex Rodriguez is embroiled in another steroid scandal and the Yankees are
thinking of dumping him. It is not looking good for A-Rod, today Cameron Diaz
stopped feeding him popcorn.
Iran
successfully shot a monkey into space and the monkey is fine. If Iran keeps
this technology growth going, they could have color TV in five years.
That is
amazing,” said the year 1958.
San Francisco 49ers, Chris Culliver, in a radio interview said: "I
don't do the gay guys man. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they
gotta get up out of here if they do." Good thing the 49ers don’t play for
a city with a lot of gay people in it.
Lindsay Lohan is
set for trial in March on charges she lied about a car crash and violated her
parole. Lindsay is excited about her court date, it is the first call-back
she’s had in months.
According to a
study, nagging is the #1 cause of divorce; more than cheating, drinking, lying
or gambling. So guys, if you take out the garbage, do the dishes and clean the
garage, you can cheat, drink, lie and gamble.
I’m so excited
for the Super Bowl. This year for my guacamole dip, I am adding a special
ingredient: deer antler extract.
I’m so excited
for the Super Bowl. I got the flat screen TV ready to go, got the grill all
ready to be fired up, I got all the ingredients for margaritas. I even bought a
special margarita glass just for my imaginary girlfriend.
Since you asked,
Super Bowl addition:
Had the pleasure
of attending two Super Bowls, both here in San Diego. First when the Redskins
with Doug Williams pounding the Broncos and then when Jon Gruden out coached
the Raiders.
Had a great
time, would love to go again. But how do I put this? If you’re not a big fan of
how our country has a reputation for tacky, over-the-top, gaudy over-spending
and hyper-commercial over-promotions and is filled with drunk and loud
egomaniacal jerks?
Don’t go to
either Las Vegas or the Super Bowl. Or is it neither nor?
Although most of
the players I got to meet on the Buccaneers were really great, especially local
boy John Lynch and Rhonde Barber, both funny and really smart, my impression of
the ex-NFL players in the media was horrible. Michael Irvin may be one of the
biggest a$$holes who hasn’t mass-murdered anyone we know of. The same goes with
Tony Saragusa.
And the rest of
the press was just about as bad, with the noted exceptions of John Madden and
Chris “Don’t want to be your beast of” Burman. In general, the writing sports
press take themselves way too seriously. You get the impression they all think
they’re Ernest Hemingway meets Edward R. Murrow. Both great writers, neither
famous for their comedy.
In general I
have discovered that the more a human being’s brain is filled with data of any
kind, but especially sports statistics, the less room there is for a sense of
humor. Picture trying to get a “Star Wars” nerd to get a joke about anything,
but especially “Star Wars”, and you get an idea of what type we are talking
about.
My Super Bowl
prediction? I will stand up paddle surf and drink too many margaritas. Plus I
am grilling some prawns and making an eye-melting shrimp butter/wine/garlic sauce
for dipping French bread on the grill. And grilled oysters with sautéed spinach,
yum-yum sauce and bacon bits.
A nod to the Big
Easy.
