Signed up for a forum…. register!

Just registered for a forum but didn’t set everything up yet… that will probably come this weekend at some point. Register so we can all talk about sports, and get some other people to come because there’s always a good argument that can be had about sports.

The Sporting Dudes Discussion Forum

Sorry about the longer URL, until we get better with hosting/domains and all that, we have to use the free versions. This one supposedly has ZERO ads, which is why I chose it, because ads can be annoying as hell. Although, ads are necessary to make money to keep the site running, so who knows how long this will last. But if this gets more traffic, we will definitely be buying space and a domain. Just register for the forums and I will get them set up later.

Postseason Madness!

The month of mid-September to mid-October may only be rivaled by the month of March as the greatest 30 day period in sports.  March Madness is unbelievable, but folks, we have postseason madness now.  It is the last week of the baseball regular season and National League teams are battling it out for the wild card.  Combine baseball postseason craziness with the NFL, college football and NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Championship Series and the sports fan has a permanent seat location in front of their television, or in front of The Sporting Dudes to break everything down.

The American League teams are set with just home-field advantage and series matchups to be decided.  If the season were to end today the Yankees would be traveling to Cleveland to face the Indians and the Los Angeles-Anaheim-California Angels would play the Boston Red Sox.  The American League is actually very simple when you compare it to its National League counterparts.  This is taken from an article by Jayson Stark of ESPN about the National League postseason race: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3038686

Personally I would love to see a five-way tie.  Every team is so even in talent that Major League Baseball is challenging the NFL is degree of parity.

Let the postseason madness continue.  Who knows, maybe the Colorado Rockies can become baseball’s version of George Mason.  That is, if they can emerge out of the five team pile-up in the standings.

And Mike Vick is at it again! I got some advice…

I’m going to make my first post in light of recent occurrences… not as much analyzing, but offering advice to a certain NFL player.

Can you all believe it? Mike Vick got into legal trouble… guess there’s a first for everything. Hell, next he’ll probably set up an underground dogfighting ring and brutally murder the dogs because they don’t win, probably by hanging or drowning or some other gruesome, torturous death… nah probably not, he wouldn’t be able to do that and live with himself… would he?

Mike probably went to hang out with Ricky Williams, who’s probably been toking it up in Canada all year, discussing his plans to return to the Dolphins. Why would you ever want to return to the NFL when you can play in the prestigious CFL for the Argonauts? Ricky Williams, give it up chief, you aren’t even good anymore. It’d be one thing if you were an addict and still good (Michael Irvin and the rest of the entire Dallas Cowboys team in the 90s minus Emmitt Smith…. how else do you think that they put up with that annoying turd called Moose), as you know that we don’t care what people do off the field, as long as they produce on field. But Ricky, you are a fat useless piece of garbage (I could have been more harsh), so stay out of the NFL. Even Jay Feely doesn’t want you on his team, and when a kicker is even allowed to talk to the media besides when he pulls a Scott Norwood, you should listen.

But anyway, we aren’t here to discuss Ricky Williams, so let’s get back to you Mike. I got some advice for you, and I hope you take it to heart. I’m out here to help you, even though you were committed to Syracuse and then backed out of that commitment. Oh well, at least we don’t have CONVICTED felons that played at our school…

All right, here’s what you can do to get back in the NFL. Now that you were indicted AGAIN, you might be spending a couple years behind bars. Worried that you might get fat and out of shape? Don’t worry… you’ll be running away from big angry dog loving men (would you know that this type of person makes up the majority of prisons around the USA) that don’t even care that you herped up that woman and called yourself Ron Mexico. These guys probably already have that, along with gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS… you name it, they probably have it. You might want to think of some new names though when you have to get your meds, as everyone knows Ron Mexico now… how about Pedro Antarctica or Johnny Zimbabwe? Just a few suggestions. But don’t worry, you’ll stay in shape and mostly STD-free, as long as you can pull off feats like you did in Minnesota as the prisoners are chasing you around the yard… good thing that this doesn’t depend on completing short passes, right?

This is the only thing you can do Mike… run… so take advantage of your athletic ability because obviously, it didn’t pay off in the NFL. Well I guess it somehow did for you… Arthur Blank paid for it, but man, he could have just gotten a cheap running back to put in your place, and it still might have been an upgrade in accuracy. But Mike, just don’t drop the soap because all that running will be in vain… I would say that you don’t wanna get sacked in prison, and you don’t have your line to throw under the bus for that one, either.

When you get out of prison, you’ll be a changed man. I’m sure you’ll find Jesus like everyone else does when they get out of the big house (don’t know why it takes you all so long to find him in the first place) but if you’re anything like Ricky, you’re craving for “tree” – as Jim Rome likes to call it – won’t be gone. So don’t get busted buying from dealers Mike, you’re already in hot water. But when you take it out of your fake Aquafina bottle (you know, the one with the hidden compartment that you took into an airport) and do your thing, you need to understand that you’ll probably fail a drug test. Here’s my advice:

First of all, Call Onterrio Smith.

 

Onterrio was the RB for the Vikes and knows first hand what it’s like to be an NFL player and caught with drugs… he’s still suspended! But Onterrio didn’t use his own urine for drug tests… nope, he used the “Whizzinator.” What is the Whizzinator, you might ask? Well, you can check it out here, but I have provided a picture and I think you could probably figure it out from there.

So there you go Mike, you can use a your fake manhood to pass a drug test! You are on the road to recovery. Now all you have to do is make a team. That shouldn’t be all that hard right? Oh wait, I just realized that you can’t throw and you really couldn’t in the first place… and even though you were chased around by the inmates, you aren’t in shape anymore… at least not football shape. Well Mike, it was a good run while it lasted… as that’s all you can do. Guess we’ll be seeing you in jail again; you couldn’t keep out while making your $100+ million dollar contract and having to play football everyday, so I would imagine you couldn’t stay out when you don’t have anything to do anymore. Well, be careful Mike, and good riddance.
