A tale of 2 CMs

Ok,i missed the boat on a few CFB predictions.

Crassius Nostradumbass - Colt McCoy isn't the best QB in the Big 12 (I think he's still hurt, causing him low release angles on his passes which K-State was blocking, tipping and intercepting). Texas also has kick coverage issues, and maybe I overrated them a bit. The Arkansas Razorbacks also have been a a bit of a dissapointment, with NO passing game, as have the WVA Mountaineers (my 2008 pick to win it all). Don't count UT out against OU just yet tho'.

It's not all bad tho' as much like my Florida pick to win it all 2 years in advance (pre 2005 season),I have a few hits.

Crassius Nostradamus - My pre 2006 pick for LSU to win it all is right on track, and I said that (not only on the blog, but on a national radio show in July, where the two hosts said Kentucky was a crap team) don't be shocked when they end up in the top 25, led by super stud QB, Andre' Woodson.

Here at the deuce we acknowledge when we blow it, not like many other spots.

On socialized health care

Much has been made about a "national" (socialist) health care system where medical care is free for all. I'm all for medical care for the disadvantaged, but let's not eliminate private health care, for those who can afford it. Remember: If we go totally socialist on health care (with defined salary ceilings), a bunch of prospective doctors will opt for other professions. Which is cool, because God knows we could use more lawyers.

Why Mike Gundy is REALLY so pissed

By now, many have heard of the Jenny Carlson (OK City journalist who covers the Oklahoma State Cowboys) article in which she basically called QB Bobby Reid (6-4, 225 lbs with 4.5 speed who in 2006 accounted for 3000 total yards and 30 touchdowns, and very highly regarded by me in my Big 12 preview), a soft, scared momma's boy. Miss Carlson referred to inside sources and also cited her watching Reid's mother hand feed him chicken, which I actually think is kind of cute, in a motherly way. She neglected to mention that Bobby's hands were full of luggage when this happened. She also took Reid's comments that he was nervous before games (I've played in over 100 semi pro football games since I was 24, and I was nervous before every one of them) and changed that to imply that he was scared. She then at the end of the story, went back to the image of Reid's mother feeding him the chicken. This article was brought to the attention of Head Coach Mike Gundy after Reid was benched for the Texas Tech game this past Saturday. Gundy was pissed. In his post game press conference, Gundy lashed out at Carlson, calling her out for her cheap shots at Bobby Reid. I respect him for sticking up for Reid,(Hell, I thought he was the best player on the whole OSU team, and now he has been benched!) as coming hard after college athletes isn't cool in my book. However, hidden beneath Gundy's anger has to be the fact that a guy who throws for 2400 yards, 24 tds and only 11 ints to go along with 6 tds and 600 yards rushing as a sophomore, is now being benched as a junior. Season on the brink in Stillwater? More like season in the tank, and Gundy's realization of this manifested itself, at least partially in his tirade. I'd be pissed, too.

Yesterday.......

4.5 40 yd dash, two handed dunks, and a constant erection. Man, I miss dat nigga. Whlist I get thru my technical problems, try to think of me in this way.

Mutherfuckers go bananas like it was Planet of The Apes

When W speaks, his detractors are filled with rage. I certainly have issues with our President, I'm just not fuming about it like some cats. The main thing is that he has taken more shots than any President ever, and he just goes about his business with no response or regard for the insults he takes. Hell, one of my favorite bands ever, Rage Against The Machine, called for his murder. I still love their music, I'm just not down with the assassination angle.

Shield '07: It's the Pats over the Saints

In my yearly NFL blog devaluing preview, I'll go with the New England Patriots over the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Now, back to Moe haircuts and space people.

Man, that's a lot of Moe haircuts

Now this: In addition to messed up Barbie dolls and toothpaste, the Chinese are exporting faulty condoms that burst on impact, according to The Washington Post. With a population well over a billion, they must be using them as well.
