Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Now that Mike Gundy has turned down Tennessee - the Volunteers will next turn to Nick Saban. In the end they'll wind up with Ben McAdoo... AC/DC bandmates pay their respects to Malcolm Young... Not an Eli Manning fan in the least but for what he's done for and meant to the Giants franchise for them to treat him this way is shabby. The Giants were the "classy" New York franchise - not any more...  Good point... If "gormless" is a word - shouldn't "gormfull" also be a word?...Older people remember November 22nd as the anniversary of the JFK assassination. Younger people remember the date as the anniversary of the Butt Fumble... An Iranian wrestler throws his match rather than face an Israeli. This is acceptable behavior? Ban Iran from International competition for making their athletes behave this way...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

It is amazing that Derek Jeter at age 38 leads the AL in hits. Amazing... Wicked funny - Jack Brayer and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visit Chicago's Weiner's Circle... I've said it before but Barack Obama not campaigning in Massachusetts for Elizabeth Warren is probably proof that his polls show his presence would just antagonize likely voters into voting for Scott Brown... Awesome! Where are my dragons?... Todd Helton is the same age as Derek Jeter and has a higher career batting average (.321 to .313) yet Helton is not close to getting that magic 3,000 hits. Did going to college at Tennessee cost Helton a few years of playing and a potential spot in the Hall of Fame?... Speaking of Tennessee - as a former frat guy I think this is great!... A final Derek Jeter nugget - he needs just 10 hits for 3184 which would tie him for 14th place on the all-time hits list with Cal Ripken.
