As of 8:30 pm, August 13 2009, the Philadelphia Eagles shock the football world by signing Michael Vick. Andy, Joe, and Donovan agreed to a two year deal and a new, huge media presence which PETA just increased their frequent flier miles overnight. Be prepared to see #7 jerseys ALL over the city. He will report to the Eagles tomorrow and I can’t wait to see new formations..
This is true and confirmed..
You can’t knock Alex Ovechkin’s talent. The guy possesses perhaps the best wrist shot ever. My beef with Capital’s winger is his other on ice antics. Lets go back to his over celebration of his 50th goal earlier this season against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ovie looked ridiculous as he pretended his stick was too hot to handle. I don’t ever remember players like Gretzky, Howe, or Lemieux acting liked that. Word of advice to Ovie: Act like you’ve been there before!
Many beers led my friends and I to discussing some crazy stuff that has happened in sports that I feel I need to share. This one is about the ‘big ugly’, Randy Johnson. Johnson threw a fastball during a game and hit a bird in mid air. The bird exploded. This prompted me to find out if this had ever happened before that was caught on tape. Sure enough, it was.
Tell me you don’t get chills watching this chip shot by Tiger Woods at Augusta in 2005.
Monday night, I sat down with my dog and the remote and tuned into the Montreal, Boston playoff game and I heard something that really bothered me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, Montreal Canadian fans booing the national anthem. Coming from the city that invented the boo, to hear this was an insult to everyone in this country.
Yesterday afternoon, Harry Kalas was found in the press box in Washington Nationals Stadium. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead at about 1:30 in the afternoon. Fitting, in the way that Harry was preparing for the Nationals home opener who were hosting the Phillies. He died where he was happy.
