The Morning After: June 17, 2009
And we’re up! I had something more clever about humping up, but my stupid computer, which is supposedly fixed, was down for the count again. I should know better it’s 5 years old and a Dell. To say it crawls to get through some web pages is a compliment.
So after trying to post this 4-5 times this AM, I finally got it to work.
While certainly NOT surprising a report out of the New York Times pins Sammy Sosa as a steroid user…ESPN’s Reaction? NO WAY! Quick call Neil Everett, we need a 2 hours Sports Center special on this.
Donte Stallworth with credit for one day after pleaing to a DUI -Manslaughter charge…Miz will have more sometime in the future, however as a criminal defense attorney in the State of Florida…Will the media PLEASE quit saying it’s only 24 days. You gotta earn that 5 days gain time before you can count it, I’ve fallen into THAT trap before with my clients.
Does anyone like Josh McDaniel? Now that Brandon Marshall is asking for a trade (and he’ll likely get it) you have to question why two of the best players on the Broncos could not get along with the newly appointed coach. Sure Marshall is a head case, but it’s not like the previous regime couldn’t keep it on the wraps. Now the question is, what team could use a Pro Bowl caliber wide out? I’m sure there will be NO shortage of trade possibilities.
The Magic are willing to pay the luxury tax to keep Hedo Turkoglu. I think he stays. This team is built for a guy like him to be successful. Dominant big man, several shooters, and he’s the go to guy in the clutch. Plus the Magic open a new arena after next season. You think they really want to go in without a guy who was key in their run this year? They aren’t thinking Pittsburgh Pirates…they’re thinking New York Yankees.
I just joined Twitter and while I don’t fully GET it, it has been the key to some insite behind several atheletes. I’m sure most coaches and players have a publicist or someone covering their Tweets (minus Shaq…I’m pretty sure he’s writing his own)…Well Kevin Love broke this doozy Kevin McHale out as Minnesota coach, . do they bring Flip back?
Are the Tampa Bay Rays the hottest team in baseball now? Does it matter if the Yanks and Sox keep winning?
Anyone getting the new iPhone Friday?
LANE KIFFIN NEWS!!!!!!!: Lane held his first women’s football camp at the University of Tennessee. Women pay a couple hundred dollars for Lane to pamper them for a few hours and act like he really cares that they know the game. Anyways a quote:
“It was great for it to be our first event, to be able to reach out and educate our fans about what we’re doing. Not only did we talk football, we also talked about recruiting and we did Game Day. I hope they enjoyed it.”
Dear Lane,
Recruiting eh? You didn’t by chance mention any potential recruits by name did ya?
I’ve got the NCAA on speed dial waiting for your response.
XOXO,
Trey

Not an iPhone geek yet but my current phone is on he last leg. If I’m gonna get a “smartphone” why not go all trendy on it.
I don’t care much for the Blackberry curve, it was slow and tough to use. The Palm was nice, but after a year it slowed down a lot because of Windows (from what I was told).
Who knows.

I would normally get the iphone on Friday but I’m not too keen on the extra 200 bucks that I’d have to pay to upgrade early. I’ll skip this model and get next year’s
I am however excited for the new OS being released today
I am more excited that NASA scrubbed the launch this morning and delayed it until July 11th which is convent because I’ll be in Orlando from the 9th until 16th and the Cap is less than 2 hours away

I want to know who is leaking a supposedly secret list of players. If I was A-Rod or Sammy, I would sue MLB for $Bazillions. The drug testing was supposed to be anonymous to see what type of problem baseball had. I think ESPN is paying to have the names leaked 1 by 1 just to have news for the next few years.
Look, we all knew that A-Rod and Sosa were juicing. Well at least the majority of us who don’t believe that pro wrestling is real and that men walking on the moon is a conspiracy. (Or is it the other way around?) Could it be that the list is not being released and someone is just “releasing” names anonymously who really doesn’t know.

The next Wrestlemania should be on the moon to add to the confusion.

They’d have to sue the player’s association as they were the ones who were in charge of destroying the samples

Two hours Johnny?
Takes about 45 minutes to get to my parents place in Cocoa Beach, Orlando is only about 45 miles from the Cape which is north of that.

Johnny – if you don’t make the launch you can always come along on my annual birthday Irish pub crawl that I call Liverdance! It starts at around 6:30 on the 11th and crawls several Irish pubs in/near downtown Orlando.

Marshall asking for a trade has nothing to do with McDaniels as best I can tell. Its about money.

cbh…he played at UCF with one of the deputies at the courthouse…has a lot to do with McDaniel, Bowlen, and the fact that they traded Cutler.
Marshall fears it will hurt his game, which is why he wants a contract now, before his numbers tank.
They aren’t willing to give a contract extension yet.

Good insight Gator, that McDaniels hiring is looking worse and worse. Broncos are dumb if they give in though, they have the leverage.
