As many of you probably DON’T know, Bobby Knight (easily agitated Texas Tech basketball coach) is in the news again.  During Texas Tech’s game against lowly Gardner Webb, Knight slapped a player in the chin in what was a self proclaimed attempt to raise the player’s confidence.  There has been outrage over this incident, as well as an out-poring of support for the NCAA’s second winning-est coach. 

I can’t say that I know what was being said, or what the player had done.  But there is speculation that Knight was correcting him for mistakes during the game, and when the kid had his head down, he popped him on the chin in order to get him focused and confident again. 

I cannot believe there are so many wussy people in the world that think this is the most horrible thing they have heard since Hiroshima.  Wide-Spread pandemonium over this incident only reflects the wussification of our youth today, and our society as a whole.  It’s getting worse and worse by the second, and I can’t stand it!  Throughout the country the game Tag…you know, the child-hood game that promotes physical activity and the occasional tap on the shoulder,  has been outlawed on many school-grounds.  This would include schools in Boston, MA and shamefully Spokane, WA.  Apparently the reasoning behind this is that too many kids are getting hurt, and it’s a very very dangerous game to be played.  How many children have you heard of taking career enders while playing tag during 3rd recess?  uhhhhhhhh…gee…can’t say I can count too many.  Now how many kids do you know that PLAY tag?  uhhhhhhhh…gee…quite a bit more than the amount that have taken career enders.  i.e head bonks, goose eggs, knee scratches, etc. 

And people wonder why more and more kids have social problems.

GO BOBBY KNIGHT!!!! Don’t listen to the insane critics…  

Since this is the best time of year for me sports-wise, I thought I would offer a little help to those who are less informed. 

To start off, I’ll let you know that college basketball is by far the most passionate and exciting sport in America.  Now you can make a case for college football, and MAYBE some NFL football teams, but in my highly qualified opinion, they just can’t compare to NCAA Basketball. 

So to help any of you out, I will offer my expert  knowledge on your favorite school, and how they will fair in the new season.  You might ask yourself how I could possibly know such things, or where I could find answers to your questions.  Well, it just so happens that I was born with infinate knowledge regarding college sports.  So ask away, and I will answer.  Here is a list of possible questions.

Will my team be good this year?  Who will be the best player?  Will they reach the NCAA Tournament?  How far will they go in the tournament?  Will the new coach be good or bad?  Where did you get so smart?  Etc. 

By the way, I don’t claim to know everything…but pretty close:) 

Almost always you see the loser of a Super Bowl go on to have a terrible start to the next year, whether it be injuries, fumbles, close games they can’t win, etc.  Meanwhile, the defending champs usually keep it pretty consistent and rack up some good numbers.  These statements I throw at you are based on history, and history only…not my personal beliefs.  So…onward to my theory.

I believe, as seen by the dismal start by the Steelers this year, that they were in fact destined to lose the Super Bowl.  Which would then be followed up by some extremely sub-par football.  As for the Seahawks, they were destined to be crowned “World” Champions and go on to have an above average, however not AMAZING year. 

This could only be undone by one mysterious thing. 

The Refs weren’t throwing penalty flags, they were throwing Terrible Towels handed out by the Steelers faithful.

Some of you may not believe what are reading, seeing as though it’s been forever and a day since the Seahawks got screwed out of shiny new rings, but it’s true!  History shows it, and history never lies. 

P.S; It can be deceiving…but I’m not paying attention. 

O.k…so this caught my eye when reading a recent blog on wordpress.  I can’t help but wonder what gave these two men such an idea.  I mean…I know that in some cultures this is normal…the little kiss on the cheek or whatever, especially in Italy and some places in Mexico and South America.  BUT, is it really THAT important to you to do it on national television after winning a game in the world series??  And it’s not like it’s just a teeny tiney little peck, this guy on the right (pitcher Uegueth Urbina) is actually puckering those lips and going in for the real thing.  Yikes.  I can just see it now, the awkward look they gave each other as they slowly walked to the empty space between the plate and the mound.  So anyways…they later went on to win the World Series against the Yankees, and Pudge Rodriguez (the other culpret) moved on to bigger and better things.  Namely men who can throw over 100mph…(more his type).  I guess beating the Yankees in the world series might encourage any man to do some pretty crazy things.  Which brings me to my next topic…

 Why do they call it the WORLD series…when it’s actually just teams in the U.S…and don’t even say Canada…cause we all know they don’t count.  Or when a team wins the Super Bowl…they claim they are WORLD champions.  No wonder Europians hate us…seriously.      

P.S; this page won’t always feature beautiful poems, men in thongs, and baseball players kissing…I promise. 

Everybody must know…Brandon Roy is the man.  The man’s man, the king’s king.  And he’s about to show you what he’s made of. 

P.S; Dwight Howard isn’t so bad either.
