Randomness

My sports prognostications are not very good. I expected the Mets to get killed this weekend and they swept the Braves. Who'd have thunk it?

I had to do it. I checked out a men's room stall to see about the 'wide stance' thing. No way you touch another person's foot unless you absolutely are trying to. I think that even then, it would require a huge effort. Oh, lest you ask there was no one in the stall next to me.... Me thinks Larry Craig might have been fibbing a tad about what was going on.

Dina Matos McGreevey is reaching out to Suzanne Craig. Dina Matos McGreevey is the ex-wife of former Governor Jim McGreevey of New Jersey. McGreevey resigned just before a news story broke stating that he was gay and had been in a relationship (affair) with another man. Ms. McGreevey is still angry, but at least her husband did finally tell the truth.

The University of Louisville looked awesome in its opening game of the season.

As for the University of Michigan...Wow. The players of Appalachian State missed the memo that they were just a practice squad coming into Michigan for the Wolverines to work out kinks and get sharp for their 'real' games. The players of Appalachian State showed up to play in Michigan. Their coaches game into the game to win. As for Michigan. Wow. They were ranked as #5 in the nation and they lost to a much smaller school from a subdivision of college football.

There is good news for the University of Michigan. They did go down in college football history. The bad news is that they are down in college football history much the way the Titanic went down as a credit to durable ship building.

Fred Thompson is a hot prospect for why?

He's old.

He's a neo-con.

He lobbied for whoever paid him money.

He did a short stint in the Senate.

He's been in movies and TV shows as an actor.

He seems like a likeable guy and I found him to be decent on screen but he's a hot commodity for what reason?

It is ironic that Leona Helmsley's dog, Trouble, is now worth more than Michael Vick...

Ms. Helmsley chose to give 12 million dollars to her dog and gave several of her grandchildren nothing. Sort of makes you wish that Paris Hilton's last name was Helmsley, doesn't it?

I have always had to be kind and never say anything mean about Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View. It was never because I adored her or agreed with her, but because her husband was one of the back up quarterbacks on the Giants. Tim Hasselbeck was cut, however. His brother Matt is a big star in Seattle, but Tim was never as good. Actually, I found that he had good mechanics but lacked a strong enough arm to play in the NFL.

Speaking of back up quarterbacks, the Giants second string QB is Jared Lorenzen, formerly of the University of Kentucky. This year he's down about 35 pounds and only weighs in at 285. He's pretty flexible. He's the back up quarterback and back up left tackle... I'm always amazed watching him. He has a great arm, but he's also surprisingly mobile. And it's great to watch cornerbacks run the opposite direction when Lorenzen gets a head of steam going.

I recently read in a comic strip about a failed business venture of trying to sell nude yoga to the Amish. Clever idea...the joke, not nude Amish yoga. Actually, if I ever went to a nude yoga class it would clear the room. Quickly!!!
