Basically I just don't feel like writing a big thing about any of these topics but feel like giving a little opinion about all of them.
Dice-K Per Perras's Request
Personally I felt as if there was no chance that a deal wouldn't be worked out. First off what benefit would Daisuke have of going back to Japan, first off his organization wouldn't want him, he'd be making less money, and he's still have to wait two years to become a free agent. The only reason it took so long was Boras trying to get every ounce he could out of the Red Sox into that contract. I don't believe for a second Seibu would have put Matsuzaka in the minors though, makes no sense for the organization business wise or PR wise, it was all threat, they wanted their 51 mill.
For the Red Sox I think it was a very good move. The 100+ million they spent is luxury tax friendly, they didn't drop a bunch of money on a mediocre pitcher, they got the best pitcher on the market for not illogical money and now have their foot in an unchartered market.
Women's Volleyball
So I'm on the treadmill last night flipping threw the channels and I stop at the NCAA Division 1 Semifinal Women's Volleyball matchup pitting UCLA vs. Nebraska, and you know what it was pretty darn entertaining. First off I suck at volleyball, mostly because I'm short, but these gals are 10 times better than I could ever imagine being. Really what strikes me almost immediately is how friggin tall every one of those girls are, and how long their socks are, ludicrous. One girl on Nebraska in particular, Sarah Pavan, as the picture shows looks like she could get 10 feet above the net, and she hits laser beams. She pummeled one into a girl on UCLA's chest, quite humurous, the announcers comment was that had to hurt. So if you like 6-5 killers that hit laser-rocket balls, Nebraska is your squad.
Arkansas Babies
If you haven't seen this article about the Parents of Arkansas Freshmen it's a must read. To some it up Mitch Mustain, superstar recruit, and two of his high school wideouts went to Arkansas expecting to play a Spread Pass Offense, but that hasn't happened and now they feel like bitching about it. Shut the Hell Up you whining babies. Your Parents, not the players let your kids make a decision on whether or not to transfer. And of course you're not going to run a spread pass offense when you have 2nd place Heisman in the backfield and you're having your most succesful season in years. What losers these parents come off as.
Don Juan Ecuador
I'm dubbing Marcus Vick as Don Juan Ecuador to his brother Michael's Ron Mexico. Marcus simply following the Vick way is being sued for sleeping with an underage girl for the tune of 6+ million. Hilarious, the Vick's parents must be so proud of how much class they were able to instill in their children.

~Brandon Jacobs is the Juggernaut. Dubbed by Max Kellerman on his radio show, it's the perfect nickname.
~Frank Gore is officially a stud now, he even has stopped fumbling and dropped 18 points for me to get the ball rolling in my semifinal matchup.
~Speaking of last night, what the hell happenned to the Seahawks offense, where were the points?
~I'm sick of the AI trade thing already and of course it's going to drag out forever even though everyone on ESPN said it would be done by tuesday.
