Random Rants and Ramblings

Via someecards

Hey, how's it going? If you're like us -- people who watch some baseball here and there, but aren't inclined to write about it -- things are pretty slow this time of the sports year. However, that doesn't mean I don't have a few random thoughts kicking around my head -- so it's time to share.

- I dare you to listen to an announcer say the name Asdrubal Cabrera and not think he or she just said "Ass-dribble."  It's not possible.

- So when does Roy Williams mail Casey Anthony an engagement ring?

- Speaking of which, if Nancy Grace played in the NFL, would she need to wear a helmet or would her hair suffice? And if there's nothing in her skull to protect, would she even be required to wear protective gear? Discuss.

- As a Yankee fan, it's interesting to watch the Derek Jeter backlash. I get the fact that people are sick of hearing about him and there are a million Yankee haters out there, so that obviously plays into it, but it's not like he's Brett Favre here. All he's doing is going to work every day - and he's not even talking while doing it.  Don't worry everyone, he'll get his 3,000th hit and then we can move on -- back to FAVRE!

- Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football, and all the recent commitments Doug Marrone is racking up seem to be a good thing, but I just can't get excited about a bunch of 17 year old kids I've never seen play. It's Marrone's job to get players -- he's doing that. I'm not gonna sweat who they are. If they aren't good enough, he won't be here (see Robinson, Greg).

- If your sports league is looking for a commissioner dedicated to lock outs, David Stern is your man.

- It's kind of cute how people are pretending to care about the women's world cup. Quick, someone relaunch WUSA!  It's the Hinden Peter!



- The 2011 Saratoga meet opens in a little more than two weeks and I'm more excited than Orange Chuck when he's planning a trip to Tully's.  Drinking, eating, and gambling on a sunny day when you should be at work -- what's not to love?

- This will always be the greatest birthday song of all time.

- Less than 60 days to college football season people - hang in there.
