The Chicago White Sox struck a deal today to start all their weeknight home games at 7:11. Isn’t that just so cute and clever on behalf of 7 Eleven. Maybe a famous band can become the sponsor for all Chicago Cubs weekday games so they can start at 3:11(Get it). 🙂 I’m sorry, but this just seems SO ridiculous to me.

Justice is Served for Lawrence Phillips
October 11, 2006 by
We might finally be blessed with no longer hearing Lawrence Phillips name in the news now that he was sentenced to jail yesterday. Phillips faces 20 years in the clink for his role in driving his car onto a field in 2005 and running over people he was playing with in a pickup football game. He hit three people who were all teenagers and nearly hit three more because his team was losing the pickup game. Lawrence…a pickup game with teenagers??? This is the same man who repeatedly has been accused of beating women while playing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Miami Dolphins. Have fun in jail Lawrence because it’s one thing you truly deserve.

Green Bay Groupie in Office?
October 10, 2006 by
Sandy Sullivan a 65 year old republican is in a race for the secretary of state in Wisconsin and letting it all hang out. She is the author of “Green Bay Love Stories and Other Affairs” from 2004 that details her sexual escapades with specific Green Bay Packers from the Lombardi days. Sullivan is referencing it every chance she gets even on her campaign website. She claims to be the old girlfriend of Packer greats Paul Hornung and Dan Currie and called them “fast, sleek and clean.” Can this really win her the race for secretary of the state? I say if by chance she does then they really are cheeseheads in Wisconsin.

Torre Remains Skipper for the Yanks
October 10, 2006 by
After all the rumors and reports Lou Piniella or Joe Girardi will be taking over as manager of the Yankees. I would like to congratulate Joe Torre today for keeping his job as manager of the New York Yankees, but I can’t bring myself to do it. Yes he will receive $7 million dollars for the final year of his contract to lead the mighty Yankees in the 2007 season, but he still has to put up with George Steinbrenner. He is a man who hasn’t been and will never be pleased with anything and loves to point the finger at everyone except himself. Joe Torre should never have received all the blame for the falter in the playoffs this year. If you want to place blame then look no further than Brian Cashman or yourself George. You brought in the highest paid player aka Alex Rodriguez a few years back who will never fit in with New York media or the fans and also have neglected to do anything sufficient for your pitching problems. Let’s face it the rotation is equivalent in age to our current Supreme Court Justices. It is going to be an icy time next year between Torre and Steinbrenner and I just don’t think it’s fair.

SportsUnderground.com’s Dumb A$$ of the Week Award
October 9, 2006 by
This week it was actually a close call between Jimmie Johnson and Terrell Owens for our prestigious award. Jimmie Johnson appeared to take out Dale Earnhardt Jr. on purpose yesterday at Talladega therefore pretty much eliminating any chances of “Little E” winning the Nextel Cup. While we would love to give the award to anyone associated within the “Rainbow Warrior” entourage we can’t do it this week. Terrell “Overdose” Owens ends up taking the cake as the Dumba$$ of this week. TO after much hoopla and smack talk rolled into Philly yesterday as a Dallas Cowboy and laid an egg. Owens had no catches at halftime and ended up with 3 for 45 yards while his arch enemy Donovan McNabb went off for 354 yards and a big 38-24 win for the Philadelphia Eagles. Hat tip McNabb and thumbs down Owens.
Holy Heisman Hopeful
October 2, 2006 by
Call me silly, but I think Garrett Wolfe of Northern Illinois should be really looked at as a Heisman candidate. Yes he plays in the MAC and will only go to a small bowl game, but he is one college football stud! This past weekend he rushed for 353 yards and three touchdowns against Ball State. Wolfe already has 1,181 yards five games into the season. Let’s show some love this year to the mid-major playas!
Baby cause I’m a thug!

Albert Haynesworth of the Tennessee Titans decided it was time to show the world how much class he has in yesterday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. After the helmet of Dallas Cowboys Andre Gurode came off on the goal line Albert Haynesworth decided to do a jig on his face. The stomp caused Gurode to get over 30 stitches and was one of the worst displays of sportsmanship I have seen. Haynesworth was ejected from the game and I hope he gets at least a four game suspension, but only time will tell.
