The Roundup: Happy St. Paddy’s Day (more or less)
Baseball, College Basketball, NBA, NFL March 15th. 2008, 10:45am
sour kraut sauerkraut and cabbage on sale at your neighborhood bar, and drunks with lumberjack beards vomiting green beer on sidewalks and parking lots – the smell of urine is probably encapuslating your living quarters as well. Â Â What a joyous occasion. This over here is Irish model Katy French. She came up after I googled “Irish model”, and according to her Wikipedia page, she died in December – and was just 25 years old. RIP.
Send your tips, links and scorns to patrick@joesportsfan.com That’s right, baby. My email’s patron saint celebrates his life this weekend. Suck on that. All of you (none of you).

Bill Parcells has only signed three ex-Cowboys so far by my count. I admire him for his restraint.
As for the AL East, Baylor will win the Big 12 South in football before the Devil Rays make the playoffs. Even if all these stud prospects pan out, let’s face it–they’ll all be in New York and Boston in four years.

I know. Just plain Rays, not Devil Rays.

Actually, St. Patrick’s is today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Day
I like to think of this as an extra blessing. The Catholic Church gave me St., Patrick’s Day today and secular society will let me binge drink again on Monday.
Not that this is any different than any other weekend.

Am I the only one who thinks that those “one group is symbolic of another group” lists are tired and schlocky? Hehe, the AL East are movies (most of the movies suck). The Western Conference in Basketball is like the Brady Bunch (after they added Cousin Oliver…hey, the Rockets are Cousin Oliver because they came out of nowhere and stole our hearts). Hold on, I need to go make a post on my blog. I’ll be right back.

hef, i agree, it’s played out. let’s creat a list of symbolic lists. that should keep us busy for awhile.

Hef, I thought arena football was Cousin Oliver. The network is desperate to keep ratings high, so they force-feed us their “can’t miss” solution (You like football–You’ll LOVE arena football).
But yeah Hef, you’re probably right.

But the article is right about one thing: about the only thing more obnoxious and over-saturating as the Yankees is Will Ferrell when one of his “new” movies comes out.

who is running the brackets this year?
March 15th, 2008 at 12:23 PM
Will Ferrell movies are like Thanksgiving dinner. If you have too much, you feel awful. Man, I got a million of them.

One more lame analogy and we qualify to be an intern for Shrutebag.
March 15th, 2008 at 12:39 PM
cmon hef i know you have 1 more in you
March 15th, 2008 at 12:48 PM
Working for Shrutebag is like belonging to an all-white, only male country club. Sure, you know it’s wrong, but the amenities are so nice.

Am I done now? Am I freed of this burden?

Thanks for posting my video Imig. I havent watched many Sixers games this year, so that’s the first time I’ve seen it. Unfortunatly, that was the highlight of the night.
