Oh sports world...

So, first and foremost apologies for the lack of posting lately... but the sports world has done so much to confuse and amaze me that I just haven't known where to even begin. So rather than do an in-depth post at this point, I'll provide a sentence or two about some of the major stories out there:

(1) Michael Vick & his dogs -- Seriously? Didn't think this one would backfire? And I like that one of his buddies (if we can call the gentleman that) is selling him out.

(2) Barry Bonds -- Mr. Henry Aaron's absolute silence tells you everything you need to know about this situation.

(3) NBA Officiating Scandal -- Can we replay game 3 of the Suns/Spurs series?

(4) MLB Trade Deadline -- The Braves apparently forgot that they play the World Series every year not just 2008. The Cardinals somehow believe we're contenders again despite not being above .500 in the last 3 months. The Pirates have reestablished themselves as perhaps the worst front office in baseball by acquiring Matt Morris, a now mediocre pitcher with a massive salary, acquired by a team who doesn't need starting pitching for a playoff run this year.

(5) KG to the Celtics -- Wow, this Celtics team is strangely reminiscent of my Celtics dynasty in NBA Live '05. Doubt they'll go 82-0 like I did though.

(6) Tour de France -- I'm strongly considering entering next year and riding at my own leisurely pace as I'd probably have a good shot at a top 10 finish as 90% of the competition will be out for doping by week two.

(7) NHL -- How long until we see NHL ads advertising the sport as "the one without any scandal"?

(8) Gov't wants to investigate Pro Wrestling for steroids -- No way! Steroids in Pro Wrestling?! Didn't see this coming.

having Michael Vick and a bull dog is like having Richard Gere and a gerbil in the same draft.
