bits of stuff

The Houston Texans have traded for Atlanta quarterback Matt Schaub. Of now ex-starter, David Carr, they're saying, "We're hopeful he will continue his NFL career and be successful." Suuure you do. That's why you're looking for a place to dump him. You want him to be successful. Just not as successful as the new guy you traded for.

Let the jousting begin, as this "unauthorized" attack ad is now showing up on You Tube. I suppose places like You Tube will now make it a whole lot easier for a candidate to deny any involvement in stuff like this. It's also probably true, since anyone can post whatever they want there. I'm no Hillary fan, but this again makes my point of...why do we conclude that anyone who doesn't think exactly what we do isn't thinking at all?

As much as I pull for the Florida Gators because I live here, their fans still amaze me. These have to be some of the most obnoxious, ignorant, overbearing......uuuuuugggghhhh it drives me nuts. Their basketball team won the national championship last year. Their football team won the national championship this year. Their basketball team is in the sweet sixteen of the big dance. You'd think they'd be the happiest campers on earth...and yet they bitch. "The Gators played like crap and had to pull out second half victories to be where they are in the tournament." Excuse me, but they aren't playing Jacksonville Country Day School. This is a tournament of, what a group of people assembled as, a consensus sixty-four of the best teams in the country. If there were blowouts, you'd have to think they didn't do a very good job. It's supposed to be a struggle. The games are supposed to be nail biters. That's how it's set up. Ohio State last night had to come back strong in the second half to win their game. That's how it works in the tournament. Go bask in the fact that your team won the national championship in basketball and football at the same time....something nobody's done before. Quit whining about the tournament and enjoy the fact that you're still in it. That's more than a lot of us can say.

Tubby Smith's going to Minnesota. Ya know, if there's one group of people who can make Florida fans look humble, it's Kentucky basketball fans. This guy gave them a national championship, 5 SEC championships and consistently gets them into the NCAA tournament. No, they don't win it all the time, but they get there, and went 22-12 this season. Apparently, not good enough though, and Tubby's had enough of the bitchin' and moanin', leaving before he got fired. After the way they treated Tubby, I can't see anyone wanting to be thrown into that briar patch. Sure, come to Kentucky and coach, but if you don't get to the final four every year, we're going to boot your ass...good luck with that marketing campaign.
