Its Been Far Too Long...

     I know i know, i have been away from blogging forever now and I'm sorry.  Now that life has calmed down a bit I'm gonna go back at it.  So much to talk about... So many issues... lets start with ummmm Tressel? Pryor? Tiger Woods? Nope ill start it off with the Tigers and Leyland.
     Let me go ahead and put this on the table for everyone that has hated on Leyland.  The man has every right to smoke two packs of Lucky Strikes, mumble whatever he wants to mumble, and then look you in the eye and say STICK IT!  This Tigers team WILL and i will say it again WILL win the Central this year.  While i like the make up of the young Cleveland team, their epic collapse has already started!  This is the gospel on this particular subject, Detroit has a young team Dirks has been outstanding, Boesch has been fairly solid, and Cabrera may very well be the smartest hitter in the game today.  This combined with great starting pitching and a bullpen that has been much more dependable lately has this team charging in a way that would make Robert E Lee jealous.  The ONLY thing i can say that i do not agree with in the tigers lineup is the continued use of Raburn... I'm not a fan... sorry to inconsistent for me.  I have heard major sports talk radio announcers bash Leyland for a couple of years now and maybe just maybe its time to give him a little credit.  This team has some swagger.  Leyland's not the best manager in baseball... not at all... but give him a little praise... the teams playing good right now.  So don't burn his effigy in the town square just yet.
     NOWWWWWW drum roll please... Tressel you have got to be kidding me... what an epic failure you are at life sir... First off how in the wide world of sports did THE OHIO STATE hire you first off... to whomever did that you get moron of the century.  I mean honestly how do you run Youngstown State in the ground first and then land of one the BIGGEST jobs in college athletics.  You reap what you sow.  Now the Buckeyes are the laughing stock of the sports universe.  You've got Playboy Pryor driving 350 z's with no license.  Players signing jerseys for sleeve tattoos.  You've get an athletic director with absolutely NO spine.  The topper is Tressel still texting his players Bible verses for "inspiration".  Pathetic.  I hope the NCAA buries the whole program for 5 years and they have trouble beating St Marys School of the Deaf and Blind.  MSU fans you have to be mad at this.  This gang of hooligans knocked you out of a Rose Bowl bid last year.  Sound off like you've got a pair.  Know this though before you do, your boy Dantonio knew this was going to come down.  As a matter of fact its almost for sure that he knew it was going down while he was there.  So even if he wasn't a colleague of Tressel, HE'S NOT GOING TO COMMENT!  He was there... he knew... the end... I don't need to hear Spurrier make a ridiculous comment about paying players 300 bucks a game out of coaches salaries, or Bob Knight saying the rule is stupid.  Or better yet mister scruples himself Nick Saban talking about Tressel like his long lost lover.  THEY ARE GUILTY!  Now let them twist in the wind where they belong.
     Tiger Woods now is not playing in the US Open.  Now to be honest i could care less who wins.  I will watch just to see the course, and i will pray that someone like Fred Couples keeps my interest piqued for more than 30 minutes.  Tiger get it together man... even those who claim they hate you really need you.  The tour needs you to make golf successful and the PGA knows it.  Tell me honestly if it was Dustin Johnson and Rocco Mediate in a playoff this year at the open would you stop everything and watch it.  I know i wouldn't!
     Next time for my friend Josh Lattime i will touch on the Stanley Cup Playoffs... enjoy this... I'm going to get off my soapbox and stop preaching now and enjoy the rest of the day... HAVE A GREAT DAY!
