Welcome to my Sunday blog, I am sitting here in steamy Michigan now wishing for something I thought I would never say again in my whole entire life Winter and a little relief from these 95+ degree days. I started this blog a few days early, because I had a few thoughts I wanted to get off my chest. I finally have became active again here at the Gab, I was a little busy taking care of things around the house and myself for that matter. As I am facing possible shoulder surgery due to a possible torn rotator cuff, and I will be tied up Sunday of all days when I go have my MRI done to see the extent of the damage to my shoulder. I thought I would start this week with a little tribute to my English friends, no wonder soccer (for which I am not a big fan of), is so fun to watch from time to time......
It's raining in Detroit again for the second night in a row, not that it matters because they cannot beat the Twins any way. I am still trying to figure out this team, is the absence of V-Mart that important that they cannot even beat the Twins? I really hate to say this, but even if he comes back right now they may not win the AL Central.
I am in a little bit of a rowdy mood tonight, but this one is getting me in the mood for football. I have been seeing lots of Michigan-Alabama shit on certain channels. I like both Michigan and Michigan St., but Michigan better hang onto their asses in this one because it could be a long, ugly game in Dallas to open the NCAA football season. I don't care if Alabama lost a bunch of seniors, they are simply a different defense and can totally shut down the Michigan running game. If you doubt this at all, they have had all spring and now summer to prepare for this game and oh by the way, just ask LSU....
I personally cannot stand Nick Sabin, he is a carpet baggin SOB like most coaches are now days. Leaving one job for a higher paying job and screwing over the program that invested money in hiring him. But that is the American way, go to the person who pays you the most screw your former employer........
I have always been a Lions fan, and got laughed at plenty of times for admitting it. I have seen plenty of good times, mostly when Barry was there, and some awful times when that SOB Matt Millen was in town destroying this once proud franchise. I do not know what this season has in store for us as fans, but here is a little treat for IHM and AFD that I did not even know existed until I stumbled across it on youtube......
I thought I would throw a little Sunday treat in there for you boys, to break up the bitching I have been doing. I hope you enjoy this little treat. If you cannot see this video, my apologies boys I did not realize that it could not be shown.
Last year at this time I was sitting in my Sunday Blogging partner Qwazier's seat filling those big shoes that Hotch fills during the hockey season. I just wanted to welcome him aboard, and I enjoy reading his Sunday posts about NASCAR. By the way bud, I will be watching that race on the 18th of August unless I attend my 30th class reunion that evening...........
This is why I love watching races at this track, you never know how many cars that start are going to finish the race.
As I close out this blog I want to get this off my chest, I know many of you have weighed in on your thoughts about Joe Paterno knowingly covering for his long time friend Jerry Sandusky. However, if it is true he went to the administration and told them this was going on, but they chose to turn their heads and ignore it. If anyone should be strung up its those sorry bastards that were part of the cover-up and not Coach Paterno. If that sorry ass administration was not trying to protect the image of the University itself, they would have done something about it when Coach Paterno brought it to their attention instead of looking away. Now because they did not want to do anything about it, they have ruined the image of the University and its students that attend it. I could care less if it ruins the football program, because it is what it is. We unfortunately will never hear Coach Paterno's side of the story, but I am putting some closure to my thoughts about this whole situation. If he really was involved personally, he will answer to God for what he has done, so it is what it is. We have Sandusky in jail for the rest of his life, and hopefully those who covered for him will join him instead of him being the lone one to fall for what he has done. They will never get another top recruit for some time any way, so their punishment will be finishing at the bottom of their division in the Big 10. My question is, why destroy the rest of their athletic programs, or at least hold them accountable as it may seem others want. This is a football matter only, and they already nailed the person they wanted to nail, so let the rest of the student athletes play sports, and the students attend this school. I wonder if enrollment dropped because of this? Never know if their were any other child molesters on the coaching staff will we?
I dug this one out of the archives, you kind of expect Justin and Miggy to make the team, but Prince winning the vote? He must have been really popular in Milwaukee, and it carried over to Detroit. Congratulations to all of the Tiger All-Stars making the trip to Kansas City....
Thanks for stopping by and reading my Sunday Blog, I know that we will not agree on some things I have said and that is fine. Feel free to voice you opinion, even a rant or a rave, and even head butt someone that you think is being a jackass on the way through........
