sports ramblings

So Sammy Sosa is officially a part of the Orioles... not sure how I feel about that. All the hitting in the world won't help them if they don't have halfway decent pitching; as long as I've "followed" the Orioles [from the late 80's], they've never had good pitching. Granted, I'm not a baseball fan--I mean, I like sports, but I have the shortest attention span in the world when it comes to a baseball game. My mother-in-law is a diehard O's fan, so I've watched enough games now to understand it a bit more, but still... it's soooo sloooooow.

There are rumors that Angelos is deliberately trying to screw up the team... whatever sweetheart deal they are working out b/c of DC getting a baseball team will probably make things worse: MLB is promising Angelos guaranteed revenue b/c he insists that another team in the area will take away from his already declining attendance, which takes away any shred of incentive he has left to improve the team. They've got some up-and-coming young guys, just not in pitching.

Super Bowlin': I'm so sick and tired of hearing journalists rant about how T.O. is hogging the spotlight. Just who is giving him the airtime, the sound bites, the breaking news clips... hello pot? This is the kettle calling--you're black ;)

I'm pulling for the Iggles, and not just b/c an entire side of my family is... I have a soft spot for underdogs. Plus, McNabb was my first fantasy QB who led me to near victory in the league my rookie year...

As much as I can't stand Terrell Owens b/c of how he screwed over the Ravens, if I were him, I'd play too. Chances are he'll never be in the Super Bowl again, and he's already a multi-millionaire anyway... so if he never plays another game, it's a pretty good way to go out. IMHO.
