I have been riding Willie for weeks, but Clinton has outscored him by 18 so far this year, Willie nearly cost me on Monday, he only got two points.

I should take Matthew Berry’s job, I am 9-0 in a 12 team league.

That one article on UM-MSU war of words does not even come close to the back-and-forth that has happened here since Saturday. Actually, since the day the new MSU coach was hired (his name is irrelivent as is the program). He put up a clock that ticked down to gametime of the Michigan game when he was hired. He put huge emphasis on this game, they had a 10 point lead with 7 minutes to play and lost. He talked about Michigan way more than UM did about him or MSU. Then he is pissed that UM takes a few shots after the game. What a dick. Hart was merely putting MSU’s words back in their face.

Clinton Portis vs. Philly, or Willie Parker vs. Cleveland?

Pittsburgh D vs. Cleveland, Indy D vs. San Diego, or Giants D vs. Dallas

New Jay-Z is decent but not great, definitely better than his last album.

The new Radiohead is where it’s at.

I’m actually hoping that it did go down the way the Post was attempting to portray the Shockey incident. If it did, it’s a beautiful set up.

Next thing you know, Scoop will be writing a book about being a pro caddy, or telling us about getting taken up for a ride in a Fighter Jet.

Wow. That was some kind of awful from Scoop. I don’t read his stuff anymore, either. But how in the world can you turn a day with MJ into that? Sheesh. Page 2 really is a wasteland, isn’t it? I’d like to think all these Interwebs has something to do with that.

I would also like to add that the White Box at the top of the masthead isn’t all bad. I love Deadspin, but their re-design has done two things: 1) Made it harder to tell when something new, and good is up and 2) make my eyes go cross-eyed trying to figure out what’s an ad and what’s “art”. Maybe they’re getting deep on me. But I think it’s just stimulation overboard on a lil’ old blog. Simple is fine, especially when the content is interesting.

Re: Shockey

I am pretty sure the Post is implying Shockey went to the bathroom to let his friends kick ass but that makes no sense, if you wanted your friends to kick the guys ass just leave the restaurant, why come back to the table if you knew this would be happening?

I will say I can’t remember the last time I was with a group of guys and starting a fight was seen as a good option, but I actually have a reason not to want to get arrested. i.e. a family and job, I guess part of being in a posse is knowing you need to get arrested.

That Scoop Jackson article was more self-indulgent than anything Bill Simmons has ever wrote and that’s saying a lot.
