Draft Day Suit

Are you ready?

There are four games on tv tonight, Thursday, August 2, followed by dozens on Saturday, culminating with the Boise St./Virginia Tech. match up on Monday. (List of games can be found here.)

Most of the games are what I call tv games. You know the ones. A big school hosts a little school for the ad revenue? Yeah, I don’t care either. I’m just glad that I will be able to turn on my a/c, pour a cold beer, and scream at the flat screen for a little while.

After checking over the Top 25 overview there are not more than a couple of games that will be interesting, with the possible exception of Boise St./ Virginia Tech. Considering  all games are out of conference and there are only two other games that put two ranked teams on the field together: the #3 and #10 teams had better Bring It.

I’ve gone without college football for way too long and I need my fix.

Kendra is not kidding about her football addiction.

Don’t drop Troy Polamalu’s hair. It is worth a million dollars.

No, really. Head & Shoulders has insured Polamalu’s curly locks for a cool million.

This is almost as stupid as J-Lo insuring her butt.

How does one collect on this? If Troy gets a bad haircut can he collect? Is it only in case of fire? Is Delilah a pressing threat?

I’m thinking that Head & Shoulders just bought itself  $1 million worth of advertising on AM radio talk shows, Sportscenter and blogs like Draft Day Suit.

Very sneaky.

Holy crap! Troy and I are on the same wavelength. He also referenced Jennifer Lopez’s ass.

Sarah was also asking with her eyes.

Not much going on in MY world of sports. The Indians are out of the pennant race. Unless they’re giving out a “We Suck” pennant this year, in that case they are in the thick of things. For teams going after the regular pennants, they have a good 30+ games to get through yet, so there’s plenty left to be said in MLB.

I’m starting to feel the football vibe, but my most recent fantasy draft netted me Rashard Mendenhall and Randy Moss in my first two rounds. Yes, picking 10th was a huge advantage this year as I was able to get that second, unexciting guy right away. I like my disappointment hot and immediate (and yes I do believe she said that.)

My 5.5-month old son is helping me write this. His favorite sport is the 8-finger keyboard mash, particularly when it results in an alert beep from the PC speaker. I have to watch him though because he’s all over the control and alt keys and frequently brings up previously unknown keyboard shortcut dialogs. “Are you sure you would like to self-destruct your computer?” He and clippy would have been the best of friends.

Hockey is a couple of months away, both NHL and rec style. I have a good feeling I’m going pro this year though!  Keep your fingers crossed.  I have it on good authority that the pros are looking for a lot of 34-year-old rookies.  They just watched and were inspired by that Dennis Quaid movie.

And everything else is kind of blah.  Things are so slow that the Bengals have gone the whole day without an arrest (last check 2 p.m.)!  Talk about a dull sports day!

Oh well, I guess I’ll go back to killing my lawn.  aj[[[ pofeisu 98gea – Oh, and Lincoln says goodbye.

…and that is about 10 minutes longer than they were exciting last year.

The Washington Nationals are so screwed. Young pitching phenom, Stephen Strasburg is out for the year.

At least.

The Nationals announced today that Strasburg “has a significant tear in his ulnar collateral ligament and will likely require Tommy John surgery“.

As a local all I can say is fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Redskins? I’m not holding my breath.

Wizards? lol

Come on hockey season! Let’s Go Caps!
