Only Blackeard Can Save Pittsburgh Now 8/1/09

Honey? Honey? Honeyyyyy?
Yeah, what?
Are you awake?
What do you think?
I'm nervous about all this, but excited.
Yeah?
I met a lot of the people here already. They seem very nice, but they're all sooo young and tanned and perfect. Do you think I'm pretty?
I married you didn't I?
Yes, but am I pretty enough to fit in?
Of course you are.
The owner called today. The job is mine if I want it. It should be fun working there but they all seem so smart. Everyone there went to college and a lot of them got degrees. Do you think I'm smart?
Of course you are.
Smart enough to fit in with my co-workers?
They're hiring you aren't they?
True. I feel so bloated lately. Everyone here looks so healthy and fit. Do you think I look fat?
For God's sake Brett, go to sleep.

Anyone else get the idea Deanna is encouraging Favre to play just so she can finally get some sleep?

Early favorite to win the 2010 NCAA softball championship is UCLA, bolstered by a strong recruiting class and the powerful hitting stroke of 'transfer student' Manuela Ramirez. You read it here first.

Give me a bad umpire/referee before an apathetic one anytime. Bad officials have the potential to improve. Apathetic officials tend to just give a-pathetic effort and expect it to be accepted.

Details are still sketchy about what exactly happened between Ben Roethlisberger and the hotel employee, but we'll know for sure whether he's guilty or not if Big Ben is seen jewelry shopping with Vanessa Bryant. Not a good omen.

During the flurry of earlier-in-the-day big-name trades everyone missed the very last of the last minute WMLB deadline deals: Cleveland traded itself to Pittsburgh for the last of the remaining Pirates. As things stand, tomorrow any one of us could be a pirate. Arrrrrrr!

Easiest way to figure out who's losing a debate/argument is checking who first resorted to 'you're just a hater' or 'stop hating on...'.

Today brought the surprise announcement that Brett Favre has officially been banned from all Outback Steakhouse franchises worldwide. A scene was created after Favre and his party were asked to leave at closing time. Witnesses say that the group had tied up a table from the time they'd been seated at 4:15 in the afternoon until well past 1 A.M. while Favre vacillated, hesitated, obsessed, and otherwise drove three different shifts of servers batty while attempting to make up his mind whether to order an appetizer or not.

The Cardinals trade for Julio Lugo is another good reminder to always recycle. Khalil Greene and now Lugo makes St. Louis the leading contender to have their stadium naming rights sold to Alcoa.

Throwback athletes who believe that diet supplementing means regular beer will once again appear on the sports landscape very soon. Screw steroids.

Mr. Spock and his people may have given us our current puck technology but Vulcan hockey will remain a middle of the road contender as long as they continue to play a technically proficient but predictably logical style. Offensive creativity and a little gooning it up will have them off their game and playing for seventh place every time. Same deal with the Russians.

Rumor has it Talking Heads frontman David Byrne is a surprise leading contender to take over as GM of the Cleveland Indians. Stop making sense indeed Beezer. Hopefully Tribe fans everywhere will once again experience the Wild Wild Life very soon.

And all of you thought I wasn't paying attention.

Thanks for reading.
