Embarrassing Performances for the Week I was in Mexico

Shaq

Alright, so I didn't get to see the game because they did not have ABC in Mazatlan, they did have a lot of sun, but I didn't need to see anything more than the line shaq put up from game two to know that it was a feeble performance. 5 points on 2 of 5 from the field and 1 of 7 from the free throw line. In addition he pulled down a measly 6 rebounds. In comparison the man he called soft two seasons ago, Erick Dampier a non integral part of the Mavericks roster pulled down 13 rebounds and had 6 points. Looks like I might have been wrong with the whole Shaq is going to dominate thing.

Roger Federer

Granted you made it to the finals of the Grand Slam on your weakest surface. Granted you lose to the rest of the players on the AP tour about as many times a year as I am annoyed when the clocks get changed. But Roger can you stop losing to Capri pants please. If someone is going to beat him its going to be you and I'm sick of white see-through pants on my screen, its terrible. So can you at least trounce him at Wimbeldon.

US National Team

Has every single commentator on the air stated that you are the best US team ever, how about spending more time then 5 minutes before giving up a goal. The Czech's were bigger faster stronger and more skilled, from watching that game it appears as if the Czechs would have beaten the US badly in any game at any time. So either the analysts are completely wrong touting you as the best Americans ever or you guys just plain forget to show up. So get your act together by Saturday or prepare to be embarrassed and still playing a second tier American Sport.

JJ Redick

JJ decided he was going to show that he was thug life and tough and had a dark side by going out and getting him self a little jail time. That illegal U-Turn to avoid the cops turned out to be a bad decision eh JJ.

Jason Grimsley

Nice to see that not being forthright in an investigation has its consequences. Jason, I'm pretty sure you just ended your baseball career buddy, if the Diamondbacks are forced by the labor association to pay him it will be a joke. Sure you want to stick by your rules Donald, but there are blatant circumstances like this one where you are in the clear wrong, especially considering he asked for his release.

Not embarrassing But Unfortunate

Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben came out last year in the ESPN interview about motorcycles saying that the injury to the "Soldier" Kellen Winslow wasn't going to deter him from riding and that he was going to go out and ride as safely as possible and that he didn't do tricks and didn't drive on the highway but that he wasn't going to wear a helmet. Ben riding without a helmet is not a good decision whether you're on the highway or not, hope you get better and that a little bit of your ego subsides. When you look at situations though, Aaron Boone got his contract null and void when he hurt himself playing hoop, which seems more dangerous to you and more in need of being included as a clause in a contract.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
