Sorry dudes, Grossman gets his head out of his ass, Tommie Harris and Mike Brown actually stays healthy (*GASP!*) and Da Bears will hoist the Lombardi Trophy in February (hopefully after a rematch with the Colts.)

“… and may the L-rd bless and keep Heath Shuler outside of the Washington Metropolitan calling area during every home game this season.

May the congregation say, ‘Amen!’”

BSimm has the ‘Skins on the shortlist for this year’s Sleeper Team. Dunno if that’s a good thing or a bad thing (prob’ly the latter based on recent history), I’m just sayin’.

I’m mostly joking, but baseball just bores me to tears. I used to be into it when I lived in FL when the Marlins won their first series, but I just don’t remotely care like I do when it’s the Skins. And I can’t watch sports when I don’t care.

Great post. I have been thinking the same thing. My issue of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football just came in the mail and I am drawing out reading it to make it last until football starts. yay! the dead days of only baseball is almost over.

Metman, I’m with you. It’s baseball season, damn it, and my Cubbies are playing fantastic ball. I’m sure it’s only a prelude to disappointment, but a guy can dream…

Ha, gimme a break, Oliver. A bunch of 6′4″, 300lb guys who run a 4.5 40-yd dash? I’m sure that’s natural. As for boring, I beg to differ with you. I believe that it was Red Barber who said, “Baseball is dull only to dull minds.”

In other sports, raw athleticism goes a long way to success; not so in baseball. Football, basketball, soccer… however, raw athletic ability doesn’t allow you to hit a 95mpb fastball or an exploding slider. Not to mention the dramatic difference between playing on opposite sides of the ball in baseball. Hell, in football, many players have only a single job to do. With the exception of the designated hitter (which I abhor), baseball players have multiple jobs to perform on the field… hitting, fielding, throwing, (for some) pitching.

Finally, I figure you should appreciate the inclusionary (sp?) nature of baseball, Oliver. In what other sport can a 5′4″ weakling like David Eckstein legitimately compete on the same playing field with a 6′5″ beast like Frank Thomas? Or a tubby, out-of-shape, middle-aged guy like David Wells play against an athletic talent like Jose Reyes? (and yes, I know… there have been a handful of diminutive basketball players like Spud Webb and Muggsy Bogues… but these players are so extremely rare and surprising as to be the exception that proves the rule).

There’s never been ANY drug use in the NFL, we all know that…just dog fighting.

Now say it loud: “Let’s Go Mets!”

Baseball? You mean the boring game with all the drug addicts?

Fer Gawdz sake, it’s baseball season! The only sport that matters is in full swing and you are obsessed with a once a week violence-fest. You must be a dirty farkin commie hippie to ignore the Murkin pasttime.

Now chant with me: “Let’s Go Mets!”

As a Pats fan, I hope we see you in the Superbowl.
