Behind enemy lines

The Buckeyes have added a new man. Former Michigan starting offensive lineman Justin Boren. Boren who was a starter every game last year, and parts of his freshman season, stated his reason for leaving was that Dick Rod, wanted to film all the teams post practice shower sessions. This statement could not be verified, but it sounds good. Boren who hails from Pickerington, is the son of former UM captain, Mike Boren. He may never play a snap at OSU, but this is huge for the greatest rivalry in sports. A kid from a family who bleeds Maize (the color not the corn) and blue, has switched alliances, mid career. This is like Jim Lechay’s son transferring to the team up north. Going form hating everything OSU to Joining buckeye nation, is usually reserved only to people betting against point spreads, not for athletes in the middle of their career. Being that he was a starter at UM, makes it that much better.

He wasn’t the only one switching from one rival to the other. Reds G.M. Wayne Krivsky’s reign of terror is finally over, and he’s been replaced by former cardinals G.M. Walt jocketty. Wayne did some great things, but some shitty ones as well. (see Arroyo, Dunn, Stanton, makiewski etc) Walt pretty much built the cardinals that were perneial playoff teams, and was brought on board as an “advisor” in the offseason. Hopefully Wayne was smart enough to read between the lines on this one. Anytime someone with way more experience, knowledge, success, is brought in to “assist” you, you’re pretty well fucked. I think if you are sitting i the owners box on opening day, looking out and seeing the collection of turds you’ve gathered take the field, and a guy like jockety is standing behind you, you should just go to monster.com right then and there.

The hornets are back. I’ve come to realize the more generic the can of hornet spray looks to be, the better it is. If a can has really cool graphics, count on it sucking bad. There has to be some connection with the strange lights that were seen flying over Phoenix AZ. last week, and the hornets in my yard. Both seem to come and go for no reason at all. I saw the UFo thing on the news. Did anyone try shooting at them? I’ve never been a big believer in the UFO sightings, as most of the people who see them are white trash jackasses like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tazZOET0e4I If there really are UFO’s visitng earth, chances are they could fuck us up real quick. So why don’t we provoke them a bit? Nothing else is going on anyway. Isn’t this so why we blew up that satelite last winter? Why not shoot something at them, like I did with the hornets?

Am I the only one who has gotten de-sensitized by athletes cussing on t.v.? It’s just not the same as it was when we were little. I remember when I used to go to school all excited, and ask my friends, “did you see Lenny Dykstra say fuck last night?” Now it’s just ho-hum, unless you read their lips saying something cool like butthole or something. It always seemed cooler when you’re breaking rules that only applied to little kids. Once you’re allowed to say “shit” real loud, it kinda loses it’s luster. Remember when the schools started putting the traffic lights in the cafeteria to let the kids know when they were too loud. Who’s dumb assed idea was that. The light would be green when everyone was behaving, but if you got too loud, they would turn it to yellow. It was pretty much a rule that if it ever got to yellow, all the little kids would go apeshit, until it turned red, then it was the greatest day ever, and you’d get yelled at. The adults were never smart enough to realize the kids were using it for their enjoyment. All it ever did was desensitized us from being bad. Like saying Shit real loud, the yellow light started to lose it’s luster. Next thing you know, you’re sitting around wathing a pitcher who just got yanked yell FUCK! real loud, and you barely take notice. Sad indeed.
