Where Are My Keys?

Must have been snowy outside that day..

Lotsa time to set up the mechanics of this shot:

 

This is why soccer sucks..

I can't recall Ronnie Lott ever doing this during a game:

Now can we talk about the possibility of Tiger using PED's?

He's been outed as a cheat and a liar.  Is it now unbelievable to think he might be/have used PED's in the past to help get him to where he is now?  We know he has been using other drugs since his knee surgery.  Is it a stretch to think he might have tried/is using HGH?

Maybe now that the bloom is off the Tiger rose, the rumblings in the clubhouse about Tiger and his image will become louder?

Jake gets a chance to play every day..

Jake Fox gets traded today from the Cubs to the Oakland A's.  Should be a great move for him, as he can DH, as well as play in the field.  It's about time, Cubs.

I thought the snap count was "on 5"?

Wonder if this guy got an earful during film review?

Maybe this will bring Riles out of the woodwork..

It's all about performance.

Sports rule.

Rick Reilly:

Sports has no gray areas. It's black or white, win or lose, hero or goat. Nobody has to form a committee to figure it out. Not true in dance or art. Who was better, head to head, Matisse or Monet? If it were sports, we'd know. (Matisse, 13-8.)

Sports is unscripted. President Obama just went to China, a trip choreographed from touchdown to takeoff. He knew exactly where he'd sit and eat and what he'd say. Knew it before he left. And yet, in the PGA Championship this year, a nobody named Y.E. Yang came from behind to beat the god named Tiger Woods. No wonder Obama doesn't watch Headline News. He watches SportsCenter.

College football teams fill 100,000-seat stadiums. Seen the history department do that?

Sports has honor. In a Texas girls high school volleyball playoff this season, one of the East Texas Christian Academy girls suffered a head injury and was taken away on a stretcher. The East Texas girls were too upset to continue and forfeited. But their opponents -- Summit Christian -- refused. They insisted on rescheduling. They said they couldn't win that way. And yet last year in Alaska, Senator Ted Stevens (R) ran for reelection despite seven felony convictions.

Sports has the best words, and every CEO steals them. It's a slam dunk. It's a grand slam. It's a complete whiff. And yet, in 32 years, I have never heard an athlete say, "That was just a total filibuster out there!"

Hard to believe the Wizards suck..

They seem so dialed in to the concept of "team":

Another strange factoid was zero, as in number of foul shots attemped by Gilbert Arenas. This was only the third time since the start of the 2007-08 season when twice he went a game without taking a foul shot.

     Arenas wasn't concerned with his performance tonight, or the one from the night before where he scored only nine points, however.

      "What do you expect me to do? Go out there and score 30?" Arenas said. "I'm not going to go out there and try to score 30 when we have a lot of offensive players here. Last game I was 4-for-7, tonight I was 3-for-11. I'll take the shots I feel are sufficient for me. Other than that, the offensive load's on everybody else."

     Wow, really? I don't think that's what Ernie Grunfeld would like to hear from his $111 million man. Flip Saunders has asked him to be aggressive, but so far, agression. But in two games, Arenas has basically gone backwards, and says he's expecting everyone else to to do more.

     It was one of several interesting comments inside the locker room after this defeat.

     When asked about why the Wizards were so flat, a frustrated Andray Blatche said, "You'll have to ask the starters. I don't know how they felt. I come off the bench and try to do what I do. You have to ask the starters, that's up to them. I'm just role player. I do what I'm told, and that's it."

     Meanwhile DeShawn Stevenson said the blame for tonight should fall upon the bench because the starters played well last night, and tonight the reserves should've picked them up tonight.

Hey, after a 16 point loss, what did you guys do next?

But possibly the weirdest thing of the whole night was that after they got thumped, several members of the team were in the locker room divvying up a bulk order of Louis Vuitton shoes they had special ordered.

     I know you've got to move on and just focus on the next opponent, but really? That's just not a good look following a 92-76 loss.

Where's GAT when you need him?

Regular readers of WAMK from back in the Townhall days remember Guy Arthur Thomas as a proud supporter of all things Tiger Woods.  He went bat-shit crazy when I questioned if there were any PED users on the PGA Tour, and pointed to Tiger as potentially being on the juice (or more likely, HGH).  My point was that like Barry Bonds, Tiger has the same things he wants to achieve:

• Be the best of all-time at his sport
• Makes tons of money
• Gain the admiration/adulation of fans
• Re-write the record books

These items clearly describe both men.  Both men also exhibited extreme changes to their bodies in a short period of time.  One cheated, the other we don't know.  GAT defended Tiger without question.  I have no way of knowing if Tiger is/was using any kind of PED's to gain an advantage, but my point was/is a valid one.  We've seen drug scandals in every major sport, many of the Olympic ones, and do I even have to mention the Tour de France?  GAT wants us to believe that the PGA tour is exempt, because it's a gentleman's game.  With multi-million dollar payouts and sponsorships.

Anyway, I've been wondering what GAT's take on the Tiger Tale is.  I'm sure he's writing it off as nothing to see, just circumstantial evidence.  Law Professor Jacobsen has three questions for Mrs. Woods:

I want to believe Tiger Wood's statement that the rumors about his wife attacking him are false. Refusing to speak with the police, however, is not a good sign.

One issue keeps popping back into my mind on this. Tiger's wife reportedly helped extricate him from the car by smashing a window with a golf club.

So where did she get the golf club?

Even in the Tiger Wood's household, it is hard to believe that Mrs. Wood's first thought, upon realizing that her husband's car had crashed, was "let me grab a golf club." And at 2:25 in the morning, it is doubtful that she was practicing her chip shot at the time.

Second question.

Why didn't she just open the door? The photos show only damage to the front end. The Escalade SUV is a big vehicle, and it is hard to believe that none of the doors would open merely because of a relatively modest front-end collision.

Third question.

Why am I blogging about this? Another waste of a good education (see, I said it, so no need to send e-mails telling me what I already know).

This field goal should be worth four points..
