Pats’ Weis named Notre Dame head coach
He better forget everything he ever heard about Notre Dame until the Pats win the Super Bowl 39 in January. If they don’t, I’m holding him AND his botched stomach-stapling surgery responsible for everything.
Eli Manning’s line yesterday @ Baltimore:
4-for-18, 27 yards, 2 INTs, 1 fumble, 0.00 QB rating
Kentucky to beat everyone in March
You heard it here second. According to just about everyone at ESPN, who from here on out are never wrong, the ‘Cats are a lock for the Final Four.
The freshmen just keep getting exponentially better, making UK the youngest and scariest team in college hoops.
Except for St. Jerome’s College in Oregon, which fields a team of knife-wielding Albanian midgets.
If it hasn’t happened already, I think Jimmy Kimmel needs to do his Karl Malone bit and re-enact this whole thing. Because Karl Malone wearing a cowboy hat and saying he’s “hunting little Mexican girls” is comedy gold.
I’ll say this about Pedro: He’s actually pretty good in April.
Then be prepared when he starts whining about some sports writer “who disrespected him” in early May. Pedro will then go 1-3 and the bitching will grow louder. But suddenly, he stops talking to the media and rips off four wins in a row. Just when Mets fans think he’s mature and is ready to be a team player, he ditches the team four days before the All Star game to attend a birthday party in the DR.
Pedro returns in early July and will pitch fairly decent but Braden Looper will blow a few save opps in a row (Pedro will have something like four quality starts in a row but goes 0-0). Pedro then spouts off to the same reporter who disrespected him that “I can only pitch so many innings, it’s up to the rest of the staff to do their jobs” - and that’s verbatim. Following Mike Piazza’s date with Derek Jeter one day later, he calls out Pedro in a post game intvw in which the Mets get wrecked 12-3.
Meanwhile, since the All Star break, they’ve only gone 2-11. Shit is hitting the fan and Pedro decides to go on the DL for the month of August which quickly turns into September for the Mets to find themselves 15 games back of the Braves and 20 games back of the Phils.
Good luck Pedro. Better yet, good luck Mets fans.

How long you been holdin’ that one in Ruds? I still maintain that Pedro will be inexplicably devoured by ravenous hedgehogs during the ninth inning of a potential perfect game. Actually, I’ve only maintained that thought for about 10 seconds now.

Floze, you hit the nail on the head about Pedro, but the Phillies winning the division???
They couldn’t even mug the Braves out of a division championship.
