Two More Things I Love About This Country
1. We still produce men as tough as Randy Couture, the UFC Heavyweight Champion Couture, 44, who defeated contender Gabriel Gonzaga by technical knockout in the third round, broke an ulna bone in his left forearm during the third round, said his assistant Valerie Haney. “It happened on [Gonzaga's] high leg kick at Randy’s head,” [...]
Why Can’t a Guy Like This Run For Public Office?
George Will’s column in yesterday’s Washington Post is about MLB umpire Bruce Froemming. There are several good stories told in this short column, but this one is my favorite: A story for Froemming: Rogers Hornsby, who averaged.400 over five years, was facing a rookie pitcher who threw three pitches that he thought were strikes but [...]
PacMan Jones is a Wrassler!
The Tennessean dropped that bomb today. I hate to say it, but this worries me. Professional wrestlers have a hard enough time staying out of trouble and living clean lives without throwing in bad seeds like PacMan Jones. Why stop there? If TNA is going to stoop this low they might as well send Barry [...]
One Gorilla at a Time
All the talk about Barry Bonds has apparently quieted all talk about Chris Benoit. I guess the media only has so many minutes of each day it is willing to devote to steroid junkies? Somewhere, a kid is saying, “see…steroids can help you do really good things too.” The real question…will anyone ever be World [...]
Latest from the Tour de Dope
For the second straight day the stage winner has been booted from the race, this time by his own team. Michael Rasmussen was sent home by Rabobank for violating team rules. I know most people in the U.S. don’t care about the Tour now that Lance Armstrong has retired, but I can’t help it. I [...]
You Won’t Believe This
Another great cyclist has been disqualified from this year’s Tour de France for blood doping. Alexandre Vinokourov tested positive for doping after he won Saturday’s time trial. If you haven’t been keeping up with the Tour, he looked like an amateur during Sunday’s stage, only to come back and tear the field to shreds on [...]
Smoking Era Ends in Neyland Stadium
The KNS reports that smoking will no longer be allowed inside the gates of Neyland Stadium. For a long while, it has been allowed in the concourse only. This is the most limiting, err progressive, step forward for the University of Tennessee since it became a dry campus back in 19whenever. Based on the success [...]
Knoxville Eyesores
I actually got up yesterday to check the KNS online to see their article on Knoxville Eyesores. I have to say that I’m a little disappointed, but I guess you get what you pay for. It seems like they were addressing issues that occur everywhere else in Generica–urban sprawl, litter, strip malls, abanadoned warehouses, etc. [...]
Where Does Our Tax Money Go?
The Washington Times has a breakdown of where the $21,992 collected per household goes. By the way, the federal government will spend $24,106 per household. I don’t know how you do your budget in your house, but that doesn’t add up at mine. Here’s a quick list of where the money goes, with some commentary [...]
Don Imus
Okay. I’ve officially spent too much time on this. Let’s get on to something important, like who’s getting custody of Anna Nicole’s baby. NEXT!
