1) Did anyone see the play in the Superbowl where Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison was punching some Cardinal player after a tackle. I mean these weren't whimpy punches but these were fucking hard punches while this Cardinal player was on the ground. Now Wes Welker gets fined $15,000 for making a snow angel after one of his touchdowns and James Harrison is going to get off scott free? What The Hell!? And BTW, the refs didn't even call a penalty on the play if I'm not mistaken.
2) Speaking off touchdown celebrations, after Santonio Holmes' great touchdown catch to essentially end the game, he did a touchdown celebration mimicking LeBron James' warm up celebration pretending the football was talcum powder. This is a flat out violation of the rules. It clearly says you can not use the football as a prop during touchdown celebrations and is a 15 yard penalty for the Cardinals. Now I'm not sure this would have affected the outcome, but at the time you never know. It was not out of the realm of possibility that the Cardinals still could have scored a TD and that 15 yard penalty is a call you have to make with that little time left on the clock.
3) Can we all take a minute in silence to realize how awesome Tennessee Lady Vols basketball coach Pat Summit is? I realize that, yes, it is lady sports, but she's going to get her 1000th win this season. No other coach in the history of college basketball has ever even come close to this mark. Plus she has 8 national championships, EIGHT!? She is just fucking awesome.
4) ESPN, right after the Super Bowl, had a list of top ten plays in Super Bowl history. 10 was Larry Fitzgerald's first TD catch (or maybe second, but who really cares), 3 was James Harrison's 100 pick six, and 1 was Santonio Holmes' TD. Really guys!? OK, I can see the last two being on the list but putting Holmes catch above David Tyree's on helmet catch last year. Don't be fags.
5) This was a question asked on SportsCenter today. "Did Kobe score 61 at Madison Square Garden knowing that LeBron was going to be there two days later?" Don't be fucking retarded SportsCenter, Kobe scored 61 points because he's just a fucking awesome basketball player, he was having an on night, and the Knicks suck. What arena he was at and who playing at that arena soon had nothing to do with his decision numb nuts.
6) I hate John Madden.
7) I like Illinois' basketball team this year.
8) Michael Phelps is 23 fucking years old. God forbid he enjoys his youth and drinks and smokes a little pot. Although it is kind of sketchy that he's in some random frat house in South Carolina...
9) You guys need to lay low a little bit for posting.
10) I did not realize this but in 16 seasons, Manny Rameriz has an OPS of over 1.000. He's like 8th all time in OPS. Fuck Manny is/was fucking awesome. Also, Todd Helton has a career OPS over 1.000 but he plays in Colorado so that doesn't count.
11) I'm in a class where they also use blogger (this site). This site is used for us to talk about current events and every person will have to write and present one speech based on current events. If I had joined this class blog, then Sexy Rexy would have just recently posted about the Roland Burris appointment.

To comment #2, I was totally thinking the same thing. I thought they banned showboating.
To comment #10, Manny being Manny is hitting HRs at almost the same career rate as ARod, while walking more and hitting more XBH's at a higher BA. If Manny started baseball at 18 like A-rod, he might have been able to reach 700 HR.
Also, Todd Helton has an OPS>1.000 not just because of Coors field but also because he walks 100 times a year. Coors field doesn't inflate walks
The only way people will stick with a blog is if it provides constant content. You take 3 days off and the readers will never come back. This is common sense right? So assuming someone will ever read this thing besides us three, we need to supply constant content. If we just want to share ideas with each other, we can just go back to phone, email, facebook. take a chill pill about this posting thing.
as to your post, Harrison looks like he just got out of prison so no surprise he's a thug.
girls running around with balls isnt a sport(thats what she said)
espn is retarded. period. i think the only guy i respect is skip bayless. I think he knows more about sports than anyone on there, even the shwabb!
Manny ramirez has better offensive numbers than Arod. Best right hand hitter since mays/aaron. cant play defense if his childrens lives depended on it
considering you have class the least, you should be posting the most, in theory
actually coors field can inflate walking rate as well
1)more baserunners leads to more stressful situations for pitchers leading to more walks
2) coors field is notorious for it being impossible for pitchers to throw curves and sliders that actually curve and slide. hence, a pitcher is limited in what he can throw explaining the increased walk rates
Actually, Pujols is a much better right handed hitter than Manny. And he can play defense
Who's making the argument Manny's better than Pujols? In 8 seasons Pujols has a better career OPS than Manny, but Manny has 16 season under his belt. I think Pujols is a better offensive player and I think he can do it for a long period of time, but I just was amazed that someone, for 16 YEARS, could have an OPS over 1.000. I mean I knew Manny was always good but its still amazing to do it for THAT long
Like I said, i realize it's women's sports, but come on, that's still is fucking amazing what Pat Summit has been able to do
MVP Ecksetin, in repsonse to your text a couple days ago, the Superbowl was held in Miami a couple years ago, not Tampa Bay
Bright One: I like your Todd Helton logic. Although Id like to see his stats away from Coors field. I mean if he walks a lot away and at home then his walks has more to do with him being good. But I do think he has a career OPS over 1.000 because he's played in Colorado his career
Also, no one reads our blog anyway (in response to comment #2)
Todd Helton's career home away splits:
(BA/OBP/SLG/OPS)
Home: .362/.461/.652/1.113
Away: .294/.394/.494/.888
So while his slugging is clearly down to a "paltry" .494 and his OPS plummets to a "below-league average" .888, his ISO-D remains pretty consistent at 100.
THUS, I think it's fair to say that Todd Helton's walking ability was not really impacted by Coors Field
People do read our blog! Talking to my friends I am surprised how many do check it out.
The "Bright" One said three people post on this blog. Last time I counted it was four. I think you need to change your name now!
