Misplaced Anger and Selective Outrage P.2 5/13/09

You have to know your life is in the dumper when you're arrested for stalking AJ Feeley. An underachieving stalker would seem uncommon, but the very idea still should strike fear into the hearts of backup punters and light-hitting utility infielders everywhere.

Brett Favre has now officially replaced Terrell Owens as the skid mark on the shorts of professional football.

Everything there is to dislike about the tinkering with rules in the NHL is on display in the NBA. There used to be a foul and a technical foul. Now there's the foul, the hard foul 1, hard foul 2, flagrant foul, technical foul, holiday fowl, and above all a foul odor, The NHL enforcement office should consider hiring a couple NASA physicists to explain how an unpenalized hit can warrant a suspension while a penalized action that even a blind man recognizes as dirty goes without additional punishment. The NBA enforcement? Its crap-tastic.

Ovechkin summarizes the European style with the knee-on-knee on his 'friend' Sergei Gonchar. Coupling this with the Brashear hit it appears the Capitols play just dirty enough to be the next team to take a dive in the Finals against the Hockeytown Europe Red Wings.

Mark Cuban was so upset with Kenyon Martins' play that he confronted Kenyon Martins'......MOTHER! Its unclear what sort of neighborhood Cuban grew up in, or for that matter what gender boarding school he attended, but if he were truly that angry he'd have kept his focus squarely on Kenyon Martin. Attacking a mans' family is gutless in itself, but there are still places left in the world where a special sort of 'chat' would be attended on someone who treats a woman so disrespectfully-let alone a guys' Mom.

As long as Congress has seen fit to stick their collective noses into the sporting world all too often the last few years, I'll take this moment to stick my sporting middle finger up Washingtons' collective nose with a simple enough question (hopefully someone out there can provide an answer). In the spirit of 'sacrifice' that is being rammed down the throat of the general public, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether any member of Congress, any at all, would consider it a show of solidarity with the masses to refuse the $35,000 raise each and every one of them receives this year?

End of Game 6 scrum Ducks have four players rack up a total of 36 penalty minutes, the Chicken Wings two players for ten. Anyone else still holding on to the belief that there isn't a definite benefit of the doubt reserved for Hockeytown Europe?

Thanks for reading.
