5.5; 5.4; 5.5; 5.3; and a perfect 6 from the American Judge
Todd Bertuzzi is back.
So, let me get this straight. He drives a player into the ice like a tent stake, breaking his neck and ending his career, and the punishment for that is 19 games? That just doesn't seem right, but hey, nothing about hockey has seemed right in a good long time. I bet he misses the plane for the colorado games this season.
Ricky Williams is back.
What did he get, 8 yards on 4 carries last night? I checked the Chiefs schedule, we get a piece of the Miami pie this year, so we'll at least win one game. Although, now that I said that, watch Miami have the game of their lives to rival the movie 'Hoosiers' against my team.
All this talk about sports makes me think about the X-Games. Sorry kids, not a sport. A fine exhibition of skill without a doubt, but not a sport. I'll not be holding out hopes for any high school skateboard teams. I guess what really bothers me about the X-Games is that all of the events are judged, which means all Dave Mirra has to do is not fall and he'll probably win.
I hate judged events, and with the exception of boxing, don't consider any of them sports. If a judged activity is a sport, then that means barbecueing is a sport and I should get a scholarship for it. In my opinion, you don't need 3 judges to count punches and assess aggression to score a fight. We all learned how to effectively score a fight by the age of 6, all you have to do is figure out which guy looks the worst and bingo... that guy loses. That's how boxing ought to be, at the end of 12 rounds, bring em out without any trainer/cutman attention and let's have a look. Whichever one looks the least damaged wins the fight. Seems simple to me.

How Canucks fans see NOTHING wrong with what Bertuzzi did, I'll never know. Disregard that I am an Avs fan, I am a HOCKEY fan FIRST, what he did was wrong and he's getting a little slap on the wrist. Another thing to show you that the NHL is a JOKE when it comes to "Management".
I think you did just jinx the Chiefs/Dolphins game. Remember the Bears almost going undefeated until they played the Phins back in '85? Poor Chiefs, you cursed 'em big time.
Dave Mirra DID fall down last week and STILL he won. I agree, not a sport.
I can't even figure out how/why the judge boxing. I think it should be til one guy gets the crap beat out of the other. No set rounds, just keep going til one guy gives up or goes down. None of this wussy "TKO" crap.
Canuck fan is as lame as Maple Leaf fan. You're right, Bertuzzi got 20 games (13 regular and 7 play-offs) and deserved at least 10 more. The fact is that Bertuzzi has done that throughout his career including Jrs. By the way, the NHL considers a playoff game to be worth 2 games. So in their logic, Bertuzzi sat out 27 games. As a Habs and hockey fan, I too are not impressed with the NHL. What about the arbitrator's insane decision to let that zero Kenny Rogers come back? As for judged sports, boxing at the Olympics is not too kosher sometimes. The rest of them are a pure laughable joke - hello figure skating.

Think about last year, even -- The Patsies were undefeated until they met the "mighty" fish -- who, at that point, had NOT won a game yet, and finished the season 4-12! Funny thing is -- I called that one -- It was my "survivor" pick for the week, as I was running out of teams that I knew 'for sure' were going to win... :D
Besides, why would Datamonkey need to curse them? These ARE the chiefs ya know, they tend to curse themselves ;) hehehe.
That's no lie.
Someone at work asked me where my chiefs shirt was for tonight's preseason game.
My reply:
The same place the Chiefs are at playoff time, at home in the closet.
hehehe...In the closet huh? I always knew there was something funny about TrInt ;) lol
I posted this on Myssa's blog (it's under the topic "5 flaming hot questions for the AFC"):

Q: How do the Chiefs protect red-shirted players from getting tackled to prevent injury? Don't they get mixed up with the Chiefs' standard jerseys?
A: We're talking about the Chiefs' defense here. Getting tackled isn't a problem.
Oh and 9V, the Steelers had beaten the Patriots convincingly earlier that season in the game where they didn't have Dillon. Dolphins was the only legitimate choke that season though.
Yeh yeh yeh - you're ruining my story! :P
Besides, I'm having a bad day & I haven't been able to post on my football boards in like 2 weeks...And you expect me to keep it all together for a "make fun of the dolphins, chiefs and the patsies" party? Bah!
Oops - sorry curmudgeon, didn't mean to take over the comments on your blog! :P hehe.
Wow... how'd you find that so quickly?
I'm just that gosh darn good...
:)
