Sports Events That Bothered Me This Weekend
1) The Yankees / Red Sox brawl on Saturday. Jason Varitek is a pussy for not having the guts to take off his catcher's mask during the fight. Schilling is a douche for saying that A-rod started the fight when Varitek through the first punch. The Red Sox are pansies for beaning A-rod and blaming the Yankees for initiating the brawl, and for celebrating after that win which put them 8 1/2 games out of first. The Yankees will look back on this game and laugh when the Red Sox are sitting at home in October.
2) Rob Dibble on Saturday's Baseball Tonight. He applauded the fight, saying that the first game was "flat" (an 8-7 come-from-behind victory is flat?) and that fighting is good for the game because it gets players fired up. Um, no, it causes injuries (see Varitek, Sturtze), slows down the game, and causes players to lose focus. Rob, stop encouraging fights and stop talking out of your ass.
3) Ricky Williams retiring. Thanks for screwing the Dolphins, not just for this year but probably for years to come. You couldn't have announced your plans at the beginning of the week so the team could've gone after Eddie George or even Antwoine Smith? What a selfish prick. You're lucky you shaved off your dreads, otherwise people in Florida would've strung you up by them. Go travel the world and never come back.
4) Lance Armstrong's 6th consecutive win. Am I the only one who thinks this gets less exciting every year? It's not even competitive anymore. Anyone who didn't expect him to win is a liar or a moron. Even the Bulls took a couple years off in the middle of their 6 titles to get fans excited about other teams and build drama about whether the Bulls could reclaim the title. You have nothing else to prove... please stop now and give someone else a chance.
