Who wants a RANT?

Greg Oden had naked pictures of himself thrown all over the internet. What the fuck was this guy thinking? He's like a taller, black Abraham Lincoln with a gap in his teeth. Greg Oden naked sounds like a nightmare for most normal people. If he wanted to turn on his girlfriend he should've just taken pictures of himself signing his rookie contract, that would've been a lot sexier. That, or just pull a Scrooge McDuck and swim around bottomless in a bank vault full of gold coins. Roseanne Arnold could do that and I'd be turned on.

Arenas and Crittenton, the idiots who decided to have a mexican standoff in the Wizards locker room, are now banned for the season. This is once again another example of a commissioner acting like judge and jury for his league. Why does Stern, who was once a lawyer, feel like he has to go Roger "The Ginger Hammer" Goddell on this thing and suspend both players for the year? Its' not enough with the impending criminal charges is it? Why the double whammy for athletes? I agree that most employees ripping pieces at each other would get fired, but if you don't get fired you'd think your job wouldn't suspend you on top of your sentencing.

The Aussie Open has been entertaining and had some decent upsets. Our boy Roddick gracefully bowed out as always in a hard fought 5 setter vs. some Eastern Euro trash named Marin Cilic. Roddick has Wimbledon and that'll be about it. It's possible if Federer stops caring about tennis and raises kids instead that he could make a run at the US Open because Djokovic is soft, Nadal is always hurt, Murray is a ginger kid, and Roddick's serve can be utterly untouchable. Serena should run through this thing for the women's side, and it's good to see Justine Henin's fantastic one-handed backhand in full force. If she had any size she'd be utterly untouchable, like a Steffi Graf. She can do anything on the tennis court. The men have Federer left, meaning its simply his tournament and any other outcome would be startling.

The Pro Bowl is coming up and I'd rather watch ants colonize.

I'll try to watch some movies or something to enlighten you in the near future.

  1. I never thought I'd hear the phrase "He's like a taller, black Abraham Lincoln with a gap in his teeth." That's a beautiful piece of American literature. Kudos good sir.

  2. I think my line about Oden swimming in a pool of gold dubloons like scrooge McDuck being sexier might have approached that on the funny scale.
