Some Loose Thoughts

What happened to the guy pictured above? That guy used to be a fucking stud.

2006 where have you gone? 2007 where have you gone? 2008 where have you gone and what the fuck have you done with David Wright? I want the guy who hit home runs a mile long, hit’em to the opposite field and hit’em often. Who the fuck is this flailing pansy, waiving at sliders on the outside corner and throwing balls everywhere but to first. Where is the guy who was rumored to be banging Erin Andrews? People thought this guy put out a sex tape with the temptress of ESPN, and were psyched about it. I know I was.

Where was the guy who helped pump life back into a suffering franchise and its always suffering fan base? I tell you where, he’s gone. Most likely at least. With his head stuck way up his ass. He was once the reason we were going to be good, we were going to be successful, we were going to win championships, plural. Now he is one of the main reasons we won’t do any of that. Where is the guy that no matter how much Yankee fans talked shit about the Mets, you knew they were jealous of? Fucking gone and maybe never coming back.

But I tell you what, I hope he proves me wrong. Because if he doesn’t come out of this thing, it will be an other Mets fable to put in the Daryl and Doc archives. Throw him in with the 88′ Mets that never were, the Jim Fergosi trade for Nolan Ryan and the million other stories that haunt, and continue to haunt Mets fans and the franchise.

It looks like that’s the direction we’re headed in, why the fuck am I not surprised. Another stud bites the dust.

As most Jets fans were, I was psyched to watch Mike T and the boys wheel and deal all off season long. Here’s how I was feeling about 3 of our key off-season acquisitions.

The Smoker

The acquisition of Santonio Holmes was troubling to some. But I like him. He smokes weed, wins Superbowl MVPs and like myself, has no clue why the fuck you need to remove your head phones as your flight taxis across the run way. He’ll miss the first 4 games, but I can deal with it. Especially for the minuscule price of a 5th round pick. My gut says you’ll still see him grab 6-700 receiving yards this year. That’s right, your man Money said it.

The Nympho

Antonio Cromartie can impregnate the world for all I care. In fact how could you not be impressed by the guy’s sexual prowess? 7 kids 6 women, 5 states? I mean, I’m speechless. The guy has poor judgement and super sperm; what can you do? But Woody is paying him to lock down receivers not keep his dick in his pants. I have to say Woody Johnson has impeccable taste. Acquire a star player and give him an advance on his salary so he can pay his overdue child support. That’s class. Cromartie ends up with 65 tackles 3 sacks and 5 interceptions in 2010. Get at me.

The D-bag

Mr. Jason Taylor (Of Dancing with the Stars fame) has been a nemesis of Gang Green since he came into the league 13 years ago. And for good reason. The guy has been sacking Jet Quarterbacks for as long as I can remember. But now he’s one of us. At first I was pleased to have a legitimate edge rusher on our number one ranked defense. But then he goes and says this fucking horseshit “”I still love Miami” and prior to that, “It’s like chasing a girl that doesn’t want to date you anymore.” Cringe, gag, vomit. Call the fucking wahmbulance. No one is saying you shouldn’t be upset. In fact, the Dolphins as an organization should be embarrassed for the way they handled this. But really Jason? this is the way you want to start your tenure here? With a fan base that already despises you? He’ll have half of the 12 sacks Sexy Rexy promised but I hope he gets booed until we grab a 1st round bye and home-field advantage throughout the 2010 playoffs.

Just a few thoughts for that ass. In other related news, Mark Sanchez may be the son of Zeus.

What the hell is this? Is this real? Is this a sign of the apocalypse?

Seriously though, I hope no one died during this storm. If a baseball sized hail hit you on the head you would be dead no? Let’s hope not.

The New Jersey Nets are 100% my second favorite team. The possibilities with this new owner Mikhail Prokhorov are endless. Will he hire Russian prostitutes as cheerleaders? Probably. Will he challenge Mark Cuban to a duel? Most likely. Will he knock out a referee and then bang one of the said “cheerleaders” on center court? 100%. He is like a rich Ivan Drago… I am giddy about what may happen next year.

When the Nets didn’t get the number 1 pick last night in the draft I thought he was going to upper cut this lady who was representing the Wizards. Would anyone have been surprised?

Let me start this by saying that I think the Red Sox will be back to the top of the AL East come July/August.  But I still thoroughly enjoy seeing them be nothing but mediocre and all this “sabermetrics” bullshit go down the tubes.

Also, Papelbon had like 19 straight saves before going into last night so I won’t say he “sucks” but it was still amazing seeing him get ROCKED last night.  To quote the uber-douche Shaq “Hey Papelbon?  How does A-Rod’s and Thames’ ass taste?”.

The Yankees won their first game of the season last night and the best part, for me, was Joba’s performance in the 8th inning.  That was vintage Joba and shows why he can be such dangerous pitcher.  I literally messed myself after those two sliders he threw to Drew.

I’m worried for his health. One of these days he’s going to need to be hospitalized. Great Kansas State – Xavier game… so happy he was on the mic.

For the most part, I think the Olympics is lame. Overly dramatized background stories couple with boring events is not my idea of riveting TV. Obviously there are some great moments in the Olympics, but the events like cross-country skiing, ski jump and the biathalon are so boring. This video is the only way I would watch this event but they could have made it much better by adding historical tensions to the mix. I would have made it MUCH MUCH more offensive.

I guess the Saints were doing this chant all year. I only heard about it when they beat the Vikings in the NFC Championship. Or should I say the vikings gave them the game then Brett Favre literally threw the game away because he is an egotistical asshole who wouldn’t slide because he wanted to make one more big play so it was all about him and then when it didn’t work he had someone put pictures of his leg and ankle on the internet to show how tough he is… oh god. I think I just had a stroke. ANYWAYS the clip is lame until the end when he starts screaming and going nuts to “win agAIn” over and over. Pretty cool shit.

Bottom line… screw you Brett Favre. No, I am not grateful for where “you” took the Vikings this season. Super Bowl or bust asshole!
