down but not out

the late great strength in blunders is making no guarantees but with its slant towards optimism... strength in blunders thinks that SiB will again deliver a brief escape from the norm. football season usually brings out the b.s. in me and a blog-inous rant is inevitable.
my predictions:
- lsu wins it all. ( i dont know if I believe it but i try this every year)
- Mike Vick matters.
- I will never hide my affection for self promotion.
- I will admit that it is exhausting when countless frauds make multiple ridiculous statements about their abilities. but I love the good ones. basicly you may be the winningest person in the history of winning but if you are boring I dont like you. (i.e. tim duncan, big ten, female athlete)
if you are terrible you are probably boring too so it is not all about being unequivocally brash. moving on...

chad "el gran shitter de toro" ocho cinco (or for those who dont read spanish and to save you the time of visiting freetranslation.com [Chad "the great bull-shitter" Eight Five]) is so brash, so obnoxious, and so dedicated to self-promotion.. that I find myself eager for more.

of course I could go on and on about his antics but he has his own web.promotions going on so I will move briefly to the "U"
- there have long been only 2 requisite attributes for being a part of the miami hurricane football program... (with the exception of quarterbacks)
(1) you must compete at a freakishly freakish level among and against freak athletes.
(2) you must tell those among you and against you how freakishly freakish you are compared to the general population of freak athletes.
I am compelled to promote their freakishness b/c for no good reason.. they arent!!!!!!
THE "U" has gone humble and almost apologetic for donkey-stomping Georgia Tech & OU! the most important thing missing from NCAA football right now is the swagger. USC is the closest thing we have to swagger right now and the only thing that qualifies them is that they are actually that much better than everyone else.. sure they lost to washington.. who cares..

to the people at espn that will never read this.

stop forcing new people on us. we get it... adam shefter is your newest nfl guy. quit putting him on every 5 seconds. anything he says I dont believe until mort tells me. he is boring and too suave to tell me what i need to know. make him color his hair gray or make him cut his hair into a receding hair line ( maybe even into full horseshoe fashion) and I may listen. I dont care what his resume is.. or how many times he has won his fantasy league or how many gm/o.c.'s/nfl players phone numbers he has in espn edition verizon cell unit... he looks like a vegas pit boss. i never knew how much I trusted john clayton until this GQ poser started telling me what i should know. sports fans got help in school from "most likely to work for microsoft guy" not "most likely to be your banker guy"
down with GQ guy!!! LONG LIVE LONDON FOG GUY!!!
