Hump Day News & Views

They're still playing baseball?????

So it seems. But not for long.......Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies have commanding 3-1 leads in their best of seven league championship series over the Boston Redsox and the L A Dodgers.

So instead of an east coast -- west coast match-up between L A and Boston in the World Series.....it looks like a Philly-Tampa .....nobody cares....series.

And..........is any one watching?

MLB has a knack for screwing up the obvious. Think about it....How many starting times have their been in this post season? 4pm.....4:05pm.....7:05pm.......7:30pm.....8:05pm....10:05pm.....It's so frustrating.....In the NFL, the early games aways start at 1pm.......the late games, 4:15pm.....been that way .....for 30 years. It's not that difficult..........but MLB.....as usual........still doesn't get it.



The train wreck.....that is the Dallas Cowboys.....

This could get ugly. The starting QB (Tony Romo) is out for 4 weeks with a broken pinkie finger.......the number one coverage DB (Adam "Pacman" Jones) is suspended for at least 4 weeks. Rookie sensation RB ( Felix Jones) is injured. The offensive line is big....but slow.

And..........mark my word.....T. O. is about ready to have one of his team ripping tantrums.....to totally derail this football team.

Oh yes........and a coach (Wade Phillips) who all they players like.....but do not respect.

This won't be pretty.



Home Coming......this Saturday in this southern college town......


For the first time in history........Vanderbilt and Georgia .....will play a football game ........with both teams ranked in the top 25. UGA is #9 and Vandy is #22.

Fun facts:

Since Mark Richt took over as Georgia’s head coach in 2001, the Bulldogs have won six of seven meetings against Vanderbilt. However, Vandy won the last game against Georgia in Sanford Stadium after picking up a 24-22 win in 2006. The Bulldogs beat Vandy 20-17 last year with a field goal as time expired. Georgia leads the series 48-18-2 overall and is 24-4 in Sanford Stadium.

But...........this will not be easy.....The line is Georgia by 14....... And Vandy will just be Vandy.

Just hang around 'till the 4th quarter.....Should be an interesting game.




Shaq...........talking ........smack.......

The only thing I call cowardly is when you're up by 10 and do it. That's a coward move and he knows that and I'll make them pay for it.

--Shaquille O'Neal, on KTAR

Alright already.....Shaq..........we get it.....

Read the link below:

Shaq still hacked, vows revenge on Spurs

Our take is this: Shaq, you are an old man. You are no where near the player you once were. You are a 1985 Bonneville going up against 2008 Nissan Maximas.......

The Suns grossly over paid for your services. You hold this high powered offense back........because it takes you 15 seconds to make it.....back....... across half court.

Ten years ago.....if Shaq had made these same comments.......they would be relevant.....but in todays' game? Nope........

The only thing that has remained constant during Shaq's NBA career? His free throw shooting.......It still sucks.



The final debate..........

It will go down tonight. Obama and McCain......McCain needs a miracle. McCain comes out yesterday with his economic stimulus plan.........a day after Obama's. And a bit bland in comparison.

And watching Fox News........it was hilarious.... They want .......so bad to derail the Obama Express.......and all they could come up with is ACORN

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - Wikipedia ...

Just vote........

And have a great Hump Day......
