In case you missed it, Lance Armstrong gave up his fight against the United States Anti-Doping Agency, and accusations that he not only used PEDS, but was also involved in a major blood doping ring, while he racked up his 7 straight Tour de France titles...

Giving up his fight, will automatically strip him of all his titles, his 2000 Olympic bronze medal, and any money and awards received from 1998 on...He will also be banned from competing, coaching and having any official role with any sport that follows the World Anti-Doping Code...

Armstrong continues to deny the allegations, and has referred to them as a "witch hunt"...But why would you give up the fight if you are innocent? Why would you be willing to have all you accolades stripped from you? Why would you stand by and have your reputation, and name dragged through the mud? Probably because there is a list of at least ten people willing to testify against him, including George Hincapie, one of the most respected U.S. riders, along with other teammates...

Honestly, I never really cared about Cycling...But I know I can't stand those stupid, 'Look at me' yellow bracelets...And while I never followed cycling, from things I've heard and read, I think the guy cheated...I also have gotten the impression, that a lot of people in that world don't like Armstrong...

You know what...The late, great George Carlin didn't like him either...That's good enough for me!

And the sky didn't fall!

Since it was founded in 1932, Augusta has been a Men Only Club...Until this week, when they invited former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, and South Carolina financier Darla Moore, to become it's first female members...I'm sure some of the good ole boys were clutching their chests, thinking this was how the end of the World begins...Relax, it's okay, the world will survive this...

But now that this barrier has been broken through, I feel it's time for me to make a push, to break down another barrier...Tomorrow, I'm going to begin my quest, to become a member of CURVES...I bet they won't let me in...As much as women complain about males and their double standards, they often don't budge on theirs...Hey, ladies are allowed in at Augusta now...Why can't a guy workout at Curves?

I actually don't care if Curves lets me in...There are plenty of places for me to workout at...Oh yeah, I gotta get my fat ass off the computer, and actually make an effort to exercise, before I should complain about where I can exercise...Just like there were plenty of other places for women to play golf...(Seriously, over 17,000 in the U.S.)...So why make such a big deal about stupid Augusta? A bunch of narrow-minded rich douches...Why would you want to be around those ass-hats?

Do women really feel they have reached some level of equality now?

Women have always considered the weaker of the two genders...Which I would gladly argue for the side of women...Yeah, I may throw a better punch then my wife...Sure I can throw a baseball, and I have better bat-speed then her...But I was there as she gave birth to our 3 children...Throwing a punch ain't shit compared to pushing a life out through your pisser...And I won't ever be offering to do that...And I highly doubt I have the same mental toughness that she had to go through that...

I find everything about this topic, idiotic...It's stupid that Augusta has refused to allow women in for all these years...But it's a private, and they have the right to do what they want...Yet women have fought against it for years, even though there are plenty of other stupid golf courses...Oh, and golf is stupid...Women have no problem with having their own private places...And now there are women who have a sense of equality, because a bunch of rich, backwards-thinking , douchebags, have allowed two rich, women to join their club...Now a few more sponsors will be happy to put money into the Masters and Augusta..It's all fucking nonsense!

And ladies, as a father of two young girls (almost 11 and almost 2) let me tell you what I intend on telling them as they grow up...

'You're equal to, if not better then any man out there...You don't need to be a member of their shitty golf club to prove that...Do your own thing...You don't have to prove anything to anyone except yourself.'

Look out Curves...I'm coming for you!

Don't worry Gabbers, I got this - it's in my roundhouse!!!

First off, you all know I RARELY post on days not named Tuesday, but I gotta vent and if some of this may not make grammatical sense.  So What - I don't fucking care!  If you're a member of the grammar or cursing police - jump off now or suck a big fat one, I could care less, but either way get out of my face because I'm venting whether you like it or not!  

Oh boy, Jim Rome has an MF-ing woody this morning after the news broke that Dwight Howard was taking his dwightmare to SOCAL so he can hang with the SOCAL Pimp in the Box.  Here's a question for you Rome, you get on everybody about "Jaking", but I wonder what you'll say when Dwight Howard has the miracle recovery and plays well in November, you know, sort of like he never had a back injury - GET MY MEANING?

How's that NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement that was supposed to protect small market teams doing? Yeah David $tern, you save the Kings for Sacramento, but for what - to take a four game beatdown against the West-Coast All-Stars during a glorified regular season? Yeah Stern, just keep up with that shit-eating grin you slimy worm - you got what you wanted Lakers/Heat in June. Go fuck yourself.

LA Lakers come up with their sixth HOF Center and give up next to nothing? So let's take stock here: The Lakers this off-season (barely six weeks old) come up with Steve Nash, Antawn Jamison, and now Dwight Howard? Hey David $tern, how the fuck does this happen? Uh, don't answer that because when you stopped CP3 from going last year, I knew Howard was gonna become a Laker.

Here's the deal. If I am an Owner or General Manager of either Houston or Brooklyn, I never again deal with the Orlando Magic. Not only that, any calls made by them to my organization go unreturned - ANYBODY WHO RETURNS A CALL TO ORLANDO GETS FIRED ON THE EFFING SPOT!!! Orlando should be suspended for tanking the 2012/13 season! If I'm an owner and my GM came to me and wanted to make a deal with either Orlando or LA Lakers, I fire them on the spot for stupidity!

Now to the rest of the league not named Los Angeles Lakers:  WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?  Seriously - how many times are you ignorant bastards going to deal superstar and potential HOF players to the Lakers and get absolutely nothing back in return while the Lakers rack up even more bling while laughing at your ignorance?  It absolutely astounds me that after seeing what the Lakers did to Memphis four years ago that they didn't make LA give up far more than they did. 

MEMO TO THE REST OF THE LEAGUE NOT NAMED "LAKERS":  Feel free to NOT hand the Lakers HOF talent every couple of years or so. 

We verbally beat the ever-loving shit out of douche-bag Ohio State fan, but man, has anybody heard the ignorance shit coming out of bandwagon Laker fans yaps and twitter accounts? You've got to be shitting me!!! Yeah fuck stick bandwagons, I see you working, you'll be the a-holes with half-Laker/half-Heat jerseys and hats running around BF Nebraska or down in the ATL acting like this is the greatest thing for the NBA. Might be for you bandwagons, but for us fans who have legitimate interest in single teams that year in and year out have no shot, this is the worst thing that can possibly happen.

And Laker Fan, don't hand me that shit about giving up Bynum - he was a mother-fucking head-case from hell who is going to piss Philly fan off royally with his me-first antics.  Doug Collins doesn't have a fucking prayer and with no quality vet to knock some sense into him, Philly is heading for some stupid-ass drama and trust me when I say this, Philly fan will not tolerate it well at all!

Denver gets AI.  So what?  Another wing man. 

Colin Cowherd you ignorant big-market shill/slut, don't tell me the Lakers are that much smarter and that much more aggressive than any other market - they're not, they're being handed stuff.  WHY?

Magic Johnson, SHUT THE FUCK UP!  You have absolutely no business being on TV you Laker-biased bastard.

Fuck you NBA!  Now you know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna purposely pimp OKC.  I want OKC to layeth the smacketh down on LA Lakers candy asses.

In the meantime, the real fans of the league will be bored with a damn pre-determined outcome and many of us will waste time debating the NBA when all that really matters is that it will be Lakers/Heat come June.

Lastly, living in Sacramento I have one question for the NBA - why should I buy a ticket to come to the unnamed arena to see Toronto, Portland, or Milwaukee come play Sacramento from here on out? Seriously, what's the point? It's a notch above the D-League but it's damn sure not the NBA! The superstars have all moved to the LA/NYC/Miami markets. Did you know that the 2008 olympic team almost exclusively now plays in those three markets?
