The Comeback

"I layeth the smacketh
down!!!"

Finally!! The Rock has comeback to the blogosphere!!!!!  Well I am not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson  but I am back re-vigored , and ready to take on the world.  I have some time on my hands so you should start seeing more material from me in the future.   Maybe just maybe I might get noticed......... NAH!!!!!!! Number one I can go off topic with the best of them, two I have horrible syntax and punctuation, you would think being the son of an English teacher I could get it right, and the sports world is saturated with sports geeks like me who think they have what it takes to make it in this field , with little or no formal education in sports writing.    However, I will give my spin on things and try to make it entertaining.  So enough from my Soap Box lets get cracking and as my old basketball coach would say we are running the ladder.  

Congrats to one of my favorite Reds player that I grew up watching, I heard of the Big Red Machine.  Barry Larkin, however I got to watch play the game of baseball in the Queen City.   Riverfront Stadium was his playground and he paved the way for power short stops like Derek Jeter.  Larkin's numbers speak for themselves 1990 World Champion, 1995 NL MVP, a 12 time All-Star, a 3 time Gold Glove winner.  Those accolades alone are deserving of the Baseball Hall of Fame.  The icing on the cake is that Barry was a lifetime .295 hitter with 960 RBI's , 379 steals, and 198 home runs.   Mr. Larkin, I tip my hat to you.   Barry Larkin Hall of Famer has a nice ring to it don't you think?





The Alabama Crimson Tide rolled over the Bayou Bengals of LSU  beating them 21-0, for the BCS crown and the unanimous college football  champions.   Here I go.  The BCS sucks big time.  LSU went undefeated in the regular season, won the SEC crown to go to the BCS championship.  Alabama on the other hand, lost to LSU and did not win the conference.  Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!!!!!!   Who the hell does that? Tell me why a computer selected the Tide to go to  the championship I will never know.   I an glad the Tide won to show what kind of farce the BCS is for college football, why is this the only sport that does not have a  playoff system in place.   As Vince McMahon would say its the  Monayyyyyy .  On a positive note its a sign that the city of New Orleans is ready to put on big spectacles for sports and anything else not related to Fat Tuesday. As they say in New Orleans "Laissez les bons temps rouler "


Is it me or has Rick Pitino lost it?  His UofL Cardinals got blasted by Friars of Providence 90 to 59.  Seems to me after losing to the Kentucky Wildcats the wheels have fallen off the short bus for the Cards.   What coach throws a player under the bus, when that player is the only one doing anything for you on offense.   I kinda feel sorry for Loserville................NAH!!!!!!    

OK time to wrap up the first blog of the new year for me I know I am behind the 8 ball but you know what I gonna come in on you with a high heater and wont fizzle out like Cardinal basketball team.
