Anyone else quickly growing tired of Danica Patrick? Thanks to ‘Go Daddy’, she’s portrayed as a sex symbol. But when her mouth opens, all I hear is Tom Boy. Following the Indy 500 today, it was reported that security had to hold her back from confronting another driver she blames for her abrubt departure from the race. Danica, to quote a great sports movie, ”You’re five feet nothing, a hundred and nothing!”
Having watched UFC’s latest pay per view last night, it’s plain to see why it’s growing so quickly. No, it’s not “Annoying Joe Rogan” shoving the mike in the face of the exhausted fighter’s faces after each match. It’s the possibilty of something amazing, yet grotesque happening at any second of a fight. On two occasions I looked away from a bout last night, and of course missed two knockout blows! It keeps you on your toes like no other sport. Another draw to MMA, specifically the UFC, is the refreshing honesty of it’s president, Dana White. When asked why it was Tito Ortiz’s last fight under contract, White stated (in a nutshell), “Because Tito is an idiot.” How cool would it be to hear NBA commisioner David Stern respond to why Ron Artest was suspended so long a couple season’s ago, as “Because Ron’s an idiot”? To be fair, though he’s a bit over the top for me, I do like Joe Rogan. He’s very knowledgeable and a good fit for the UFC.
Speaking of announcers, does anyone else miss hearing (and seeing) Bill Walton during the NBA telecasts? Me either.
If one were to break down the monstrous salary of San Francisco Giant ace Barry Zito to calculate how much he’s made per victory this season…um, we’ll have to get back to you that.
For those of you fantasy football nuts out there (how many days left until the draft?), let me point out what your line of thinking SHOULD be while tracking the Marvin Harrison debacle: “I can’t wait to draft Reggie Wayne, baby!”
