It has been a while since I've posted anything on the site and I can honestly say that I haven't been too worried about getting to it. 

There seems to be a lull in my sports world and working in front of a computer during the day sort of puts the stopsies on doing anything on it when I get home from work.

However, I do want to throw some balls around your way to get the old noodle loose, Favre-style...all over the place.

RU-BI-O RU-BI-O
Well he doesn't have a red mohawk and he isn't running around, playing swords with Peter Pan (or is he?), but he is still a kid and kids are wishy washy with most decisions.  Rubio apparently was going to maybe play in the NBA and maybe play in Europe.  Maybe he didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so he was just saying things to make everyone feel better.  Looks like he is definitely (maybe) playing for Barcelona this year...and next...maybe.

Baseball Trade Deadline
I hate the baseball trade deadline about as much as I hate the fact that NFL contracts are not guaranteed.  It is called a DEADLINE for a reason.  It isn't called a We Suggest Trades Day.  Jim Thome, Jose Contreras, and others have changed teams in the past week.  The deadline was a whole month ago!  Wish my college professors were this lenient! 

Brett Favre and Father Time
I'm not as upset as some people that Brett Favor is playing football still.  I honestly wouldn't care if he is out there in a wheelchair.  At this point in his career, that would probably be more exciting than what we will see from him this season.  Is he really better than Sage Rosenfels right now?  They both throw sweet looking interceptions and Rosenfels will make a whole hell of a lot less than Favreau.  Farva will need plenty of Thank You cards to give to Adrian Peterson and his defense this season, along with plenty of Icy-Hot, Ben Gay, Gold Bond (medicated only), Ace bandages, and Duct Tape to hold his old Massippie body together this year.  I guess it helps to go home to his wife...though, she has gone from cougar to silver fox status now.

Peyton or Eli
It is time for the yearly "Will Eli ever be better than big bro?" debate.  This year's answer (and every year's answer) is NO!  If you disagree with this, I will send Plaxico over to your house.  Don't worry, he won't shoot you though, because he is a terrible shot.  Still can't get over the fact that he got TWO YEARS!  OJ got nothing for murder!  Anyway, Peyton is better this year...and every year.  THE END!  Neither of them are deserving of being mentioned at badquarterback though!

Basketball?
Is it really only a little over a month away from starting back up?  Crazy.  I haven't even order my Pacers logo pube shaving kit yet.  I need to get on that.  I guess I'll pick the Spurs to win it all this year.  They picked up Richard Jefferson and that dude is cold as ice.  He cancelled his wedding like two hours before the tip-off....where is Rick James when you need him?  Maybe M.O.P. can help out a little more?
