I know I've been posting like crazy lately, but this is something I had to comment about. Roger Clemens legacy was already ruined on the field, but now we find out that he's a pervert.
A few days ago, the NY Daily News released this story detailing The Rocket's extramarital affair with country singer Mindy McCready, which began when she was 15?????
This is nuts. What's surprising is that the media seems to be downplaying that aspect of it. Just like they downplayed the fact that he's a cheater by continually letting him and his lawyers tell their side of the story, all of the talk has been soley about the fact that he had an affair.
Where's the outrage that he's a cheater, cheater, and a pervert? People in the media seem kind of upset that he cheated in baseball and act like they don't even give a crap that he cheated on his wife. They seem to have missed the part about him sleeping with teenagers. (The source said that while McCready met Roger when she was 15, their relationship didn't become sexual until she became a rising star.)
Still, the possibility that he had something going on with a 15 year old should make people more outraged than they are. Now if he was a black man, ....

Steroids? We're talkin' bout steroids man, not the game, steroids ...
The Roger Clemens fiasco hit a new low Wednesday, as he testified on Capitol Hill. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform embarrassed Clemens, Brian McNamee and themselves during the made for T.V. extravaganza.
For Clemens, it’s becoming more and more obvious that he’s lying. In attempting to clear his name, he’s thrown his friend, trainer, and even wife under the bus. Yet, he always comes off worse every time he opens his mouth.
He even stooped as low as to basically bribe Congress members of the committee with autographs and photo shoots. It seemed to work, as some Congressmen seemed to be wholeheartedly on his side.
One guy couldn’t understand why we were supposed to believe McNamee, who previously lied about Clemens’ use of performance enhancing drugs. Uhh, Mr. Congressman, uhhh, you ever think that maybe he lied originally to protect Clemens?
Speaking of Congress, what a waste of time it is to even have them. With all of the issues going on in our country, they decided it was a good use of time to put Roger Clemens on trial Wednesday. I recall a Congressman in the beginning say something along the lines of ‘It may get a little hectic today because of voting, but we’re going to keep it moving anyway.’ I hope there weren’t any important topics being called to the floor yesterday.
I don’t know what was accomplished by that hearing. What difference does it make if Roger Clemens lied or not lied about steroid use, or if he used at all? That’s a baseball problem. I thought the purpose of that hearing, the one in 2005, and the Mitchell Report was to analyze steroid use in baseball, see how it became so prevalent, and what can be done to slow it down or curtail its use.
Instead, all any of these things has ever accomplished was embarrassing people. I’m disgusted that our tax money contributed to that charade of an event.

Happy New Year!!!!!!! Uhh Happy Chinese New Year ?!?! Sorry for being lazy ...
17 days later I return from hiatus. I wanted to write a review of 2007, and talk about how I’d be updating the blog more regularly in 2008 … that didn’t happen.
Instead me and one of my frat brothers drank beer and watched every single bowl games that occurred between Jan 1-7, culminating with LSU’s waxing of OSU. I also wanted to gloat about that and Hawaii getting hammered, but you know, that didn’t happen either.
Then I wanted to write about how the NFL playoffs obviously were going to come down to Green Bay/Dallas and New England/Indy, with N.E. ultimately taking down Dallas and finishing the season 19-0. That didn’t happen either.
Well, 2008 Sportsologists, I’m finally here. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging, I’ll try to do better this year (although my predictions will likely remain way off).
NFL
The ultimate match-up is almost among us: Green Bay vs. New England. Brett Favre, a God to some people, versus the greatest QB of all-time Tom Brady. Yea, I said it. He could’ve easily pitched a perfect game against Jacksonville last weekend. Jacksonville is one of the best defenses in the league.
If Favre and his Packers knock of the Patriots, I’d definitely scream conspiracy, especially if he retires after the game.
As far as the Randy Moss thing that came out of nowhere, let’s not pass judgment on him. On Sportscenter last night, they referred to him as a trouble maker for nine years before turning his act around in New England.
I wouldn’t exactly call him that. He was more of a misunderstood character. Running over a traffic cop was a bad move and he’s done other immature things too, although the mooning incident was overblown, considering what the Packers fans do to opponents all the time.
Leonard Little is a troublemaker. PacMan Jones is a trouble attractor, if not a troublemaker. Moss is just a different kind of dude.
As for PacMan Jones, STAY OUT OF THE FREAKING STRIP CLUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do not belong there, every time you go there something bad happens, just stop it. Buy some porn, download some porn, hire strippers to come to your house, hire an escort, go to an Asian massage parlor, subscribe to Cinemax, get in a monogamous relationship, GO TO CHURCH, do whatever you have to do to stay out of the strip clubs. Period.
MLB
Little benefit has come out of releasing names in the Mitchell Report. Roger Clemens is making himself look like a real ass by trying to prove he’s innocent of taking steroids. The proof is in the pudding, enjoy the Barry Bonds treatment.
NBA
STOP SHOWING THE FREAKING MIAMI HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I’m tired of seeing them come on TV. Why did Chicago vs. Miami come on TV, but Portland and Boston didn’t. What kind of sense does that make? If you don’t have flexibility in your TV schedule, ESPN, please bargain for it in your next agreement with the Association. This is absurd.
Guess who’s coming on ESPN tomorrow, by the way … yup, the MIAMI FREAKING HEAT! STOP IT DAVID STERN, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
College Football
Something has to be done to make coaches honor their contracts. This is getting ridiculous.
Teams to watch for next year (very early): Georgia, Ohio State, Florida, USC, Illinois, Texas.
College Basketball
Grant Wahl’s magic 8 came out yesterday. No complaints here. I haven’t really watched much college basketball this year, unfortunately. I don’t know why I haven’t been into it like I normally am.
Here at Drexel, our men’s team sucks. Our coach is one of those horrible coaches that is overrated for whatever reason. Bruiser Flint is one of those guys that coaches the exact same way regardless of who he has on his team, which is stupid.
Bill Belichick, one of the best coaches in any sport period, has become great by being completely flexible with his schemes, even on a week to week basis.
Sigh. My early favorites are Kansas, UCLA, and Washington State.
Memphis always finds a way to lose in the tourney, and UNC looked suspect against G. Tech last night.
Until next time ....

Mitchell Report Edition of Quick Hits
How could I let such a monumental few days pass without another round of quick hits? I couldn't, of course so enjoy!
MLB
The infamous Mitchell Report finally dropped yesterday. But here’s what we all have really been waiting for, the list of names.
The report itself is a casserole of interviews with Kirk Radomski, Brian McNamee, and stuff we already knew. It’s kind of a waste of 400 pages, but it did reveal some things I speculated.
1. Everyone was on the juice. A bum was just as likely to use the juice as an All-Star. A pitcher was just as likely to use drugs as a slugger. A middle reliever was just as likely to use them as a leadoff man. Therefore, if most of the people were juicing then guys like Bonds and Clemens weren’t getting a competitive advantage but staying ahead.
2. Speaking of Clemens, it was sooooo obvious that he was on steroids. His career was just as improbable as Barry Bonds. His name even came up before in steroid speculation, but he was able to deny the allegations and move on. If he had people out to get him, like Bonds, I’m sure that this information would’ve been dug up along time ago.
3. Reactions prove that racism or hatred for Barry Bonds were part of the reason people were so mad in the first place. The writers are getting on TV and posturing like they will hold Clemens up to the same standard as people do Bonds, but I could hear the half-heartedness in their voices. It would be fitting if they both retired or left the game this year, because 5 years from now I can almost guarantee that Clemens will have an easier time getting into the Hall of Fame than Bonds. Regardless of the reasons why, there’s an obvious bias against the guy, down the fact that he was mentioned more times than anyone else in the Mitchell Report, when all the stuff that was said in it was pretty much old news.
All that said, I hope these guys were actually using, because they will now be taunted as cheaters for the rest of their careers. I still say don’t hate the player, hate the game, literally
NFL
Mario Williams is making people like me eat their words. I ripped him the shreds as an overrated prospect, a historically stupid #1 overall pick, and an underachiever.
Now, he’s balling harder than Vince Young (Madden Cursed) and Reggie Bush (always overrated).
In fact, he’s already the most prolific pass rusher in Houston Texans history, which is still kind of pathetic.
Still, props are due to Mario, and I’m now on the Mario Williams 4 Pro Bowl bandwagon.
As for the rest of the league, it looks like my NFC picks were dead wrong (again) and the Giants and Vikings have the playoff inside track.
Its all for naught, however, as Dallas is light years ahead of everyone else in the conference and should make it to the Super Bowl rather easily.
NBA
Not much to say here, besides STOP SHOWING THE SAME DAMN TEAMS EVERY WEEK!!!!!!
I've still yet to see an entire Celtics game, but I've seen at least 4 Miami Heat games, in which they lost all four, Shaq looked horrible, and their team as a whole looked atrocious.

Haven't seen enough games to make a comment. Sorry folks.

I promise my BCS rant is coming soon.
