Things That Make Me Go HMMMMMMM

Just things that render me reflective and introspective and to stretch my writing muscles.

AP Athlete of the Year 2009

OK, someone explain to me how Jimmie Johnson, a great guy I'm sure, is the AP Athlete of the year. Race car drivers are not athletes. They drive cars around in circles for hours and hours. How is that a sport. Shoot, I drive a car everyday, maybe not as fast, but I do and that does not make me an athlete. I mean, I had a problem when they named a golfer as Athlete of the Year too...it's a skill thing, as is race car driving, not a sport thing. The athlete of the year should be an athlete that plays a sport that requires some exertion, not drive around in circles or hit a little white ball. You know, like football, basketball, soccer, rugby, hockey... Shoot I don't even think baseball is a real sport considering how little they actually have to do. Still don't understand how they make so much money. We're at the point now where the next one will be a poker player. ESPN broadcasts poker games and no way is poker a sport. Anyhoo, it's just my opinion and I'm entitled to it. 'nuff said.

Tiger Woods

OK, I, like everyone else, have to put my two cents in about Tiger. First of all, you should've married someone from your own country (nothing again folks from Sweden) but you know, you gotta stick with the gold diggers at home before you go out giving your money away to gold diggers from another country.

Secondly, how come no one is dogging all of these chicks who supposedly slept with Tiger, then kept proof. Ho-bags each and everyone of 'em. They all knew he was married, that didn't seem to stop them so they are just as morally corrupt as Tiger is, but none of them seem to be talked about badly at all...does that seem strange to anyone else besides me. These women are total Ho's and we should be stoning them right along with Tiger.

3rdly (I like abbreviations) - most of the folks that watch Tiger play golf can't afford any of the stuff he plugs (except maybe the gilette stuff) so who cares if they drop him. He has contracts with these companies so Tiger probably doesn't care either, since he's under contract they still have to pay him...that should make his greedy former nanny wife happy.

Anyhoo, that's enough on that subject. I kind of hope the sponsors who are dropping Tiger (who the hell is Accenture anyway?) lose business because they are so worried about their image that they drop him. He's still a great golfer and will continue to draw folks because he makes the game worth watching. I know I won't be buying anymore gatoraide...
