Weekly Lazy Entry


I guess you can say that the last two weeks have been lazy entries, or you can be politically correct and say there have been no postings in that time.

Fans, I am sorry. Bored souls, sorry that you clicked on here only to find nothing. Haters, I love you.

Anyway, life has been crazy hectic and I am still not caught up, but that is the fun part.

Some of these links are old, but I like to think of them as timeless.

Enjoy, and I promise not to leave you for such a long time again.

- An Oregon high school basketball coach flipped his noodle and assaulted a 17-year-old referee, along with cutting the hand of a female scorekeeper when he slammed his clipboard on it which got him his second technical foul. He set a great example, as angry fans stormed the court as a direct result of his tirade. Stay classy.

- The Jamestown Vikings trashed a hotel because they thought it was owned by the owner of the team;

There has to be some rock stars on that team. I still plan on doing that to an auto shop that busted up my first truck.

- Another day, another Raider arrested. NFL needs its own jail to house all their criminals.

- Former NBA player, and current ESPN "analyst" Jon Barry loves to party away from his wife and children with Jose Cuervo girls.

- Remember I posted the perfectville video that Reebok made for the Miami Dolphins? Well if you disremembered (patent pending, Roger Clemens), it was released after the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots and was made in commemoration of the 1972 Dolphins and their perfect season... well here is the version that would have been released had the Patriots not choked lost:

Suck it Belichick.

- Annoying arguing on ESPN reverts to name calling, courtesy of John Salisbury:

Screw USC.

- A nine-year-old girl has been banned from her local tennis club after complaints came from her opposition about her grunts. Her favorite tennis player? Maria "master squealer" Sharapova.

- Erin Andrews has a hot backside, just ask this creepy Milwaukee Brewers fan.

Weekly Lazy Entry


Before I lose myself to the weekend, I am dropping the weekly lazy entry on you for this week.

There were a couple of big things going on this week following the Super Bowl... national signing day, debut of Gasol with the Lakers, Shaq going back to the West (more on that later), and two college basketball juggernauts went at it (Duke v. UNC).

Here are First To Third's favorites:

- Looking for the 19-0 Historic Championship Run Patriots book? Well it certainly cannot be found here. The "jinx" book can be found in your neighborhood hobo's fire can.

- The '72 Miami Dolphins threw in one more jab to the 18-1 New England Patriots by creating a "Perfectville" commercial.

- A San Ysidro High School soccer coach choked a Otay High School player in the second half of their game. The incident led to an all-out brawl in which a spectator kicked the choke victim in the face. High school soccer, always dangerous. I got into a fight in our first away game in high school. It was a draw, but word spread to the varsity players that I had kicked the dude's ass; I stuck with that assessment.

- Don't believe that the Patriots cheated in Super Bowl XXXVI? Well a "staff" member knows the truth and is trying to make some cash before the evidence comes out.

- A swimming coach at a high school in Kokomo, Indiana is in police custody on child pornography charges after being accused of hiding a videocamera in the girls' locker room. As if staring at high school girls in swim suits for a living is not creepy enough.

- Sam Cassell wants to join the Boston Celtics, so he introduced himself to Rajon Rondo with a high five... problem is, he missed, badly.
