Over the past few days the news had broken that Pittsburgh and Ohio's favorite active QB is in a bit o' trouble (I'm dropping consonants today in solidarity with Sarah Palin and in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. In one case it's evidence of the dumbin' down of civil discourse and in the other, well - you drop consonants when you're hammered). Seems that Big Ben was a-travellin' in Georgia (why?) and was ropin' some fillies (in the strictest biblical sense a' course) or was just hanging out with his entourage (who is he? Eddie Murphy? Diddy? Does he need a posse?) and something bad might've happened. Or not. The story, as Obi-Wan said in "Jedi", depends on your point of view.
Me? I wasn't there. So I have nothing to add. It's probably been said by Steeler-haters (I am not one of you!) but not by me: "Where there's smoke, there's fire." I'd qualify this and say that there "could" be fire. There could also be more smoke. Look, here's the thing: like all pro athletes there are ladies (loosely using the term) who throw themselves at fame. Not the person, just the status. And there are athletes who probably love it, and some who shun it. But, for this guy, two allegations in 8 months makes you wonder.
I want to see T.O. play with Chad Ochocinco Johnson, and turn the Bengals into a sideshow. Make Marvin Lewis a nominal coach and let the inmates run the asylum.
As a Redskin fan, I don't know how to react. Free agency began nearly 5 days ago and.....nothing. No new multi-multi-multi-millionaire. No new jerseys to buy. Nothing. Dan Snyder has now made his team the laughingstock of the offseason, too. Dammit. At least we had the dream year, where the Skins got Brandon Lloyd and Adam Archuleta. Ah, the scent of success. Remember, please, the wisdom of Curly: "If at first ya don't succeed, keep on suckin' till you do succeed!"
Lindsay Lohan and I hate the baby ads for E-trade. Just wanted to post that. Talk amongst yourselves.
"Milk-a-what?"
See? Not funny.
Did you know that China is considering legislation to outlaw the use of dogs and cats for food? True story, saw it on CNN this morning (3/9/10). Apparently, there are grocery stores that sell them. They're also served in restaurants "cooked up in just about any manner you can think of." Wow!
"Um, excuse me, waiter? This burger is ruff."
Sorry.
"This bisque is purr-fect."
I'll stop.
On Fox, this morning, they were "talking" about health-care reform. Fear-mongering is more like the truth. Are you like me? Would you rather hear about how dog tastes a little like pork?
...so it goes.....
