"It's so hot! Milk was a bad choice today!"
-Will Ferrell.
That's how I feel right now. It's hot, I'm lazy, and again haven't written in a while. Plus last time I got a compliment on my post (BWAH!?). I again returned to Indiana over the weekend and saw Step Brothers. I really enjoyed it, my friend complained it was retarded half the movie, then proceeded to laugh like crazy the last half hour. If you drop your expectations of anything remotely realistic, it's a hilarious movie. Don't bring your kids.
Do you care about the Olympics? I'm not sure I do. We have nothing to gain there. That said, US basketball better win. If we don't I'm going on official crusade to have the international rules of soccer completely changed to benefit America's soccer team. See how the rest of the world likes it when we #### with their sports.
I just witnessed Jay Mariotti calling the WNBA pillow fight a "full scale brawl". This is why no one respects Jay Mariotti.
I rip ESPN a lot, but I will give credit to Mike Wilbon on PTI. Met him at a Northwestern football game, he was a genuinely nice guy and a real sports fan. ESPN needs less blowhards and more shows like PTI.
Take the Peoria pitcher who beaned a fan to court. There are unwritten rules in sports fights, and one of the biggest ones is baseball's drop the bat and ball. You cannot bring those into a fight, it's not allowed. Too much damage can be done. Another big rule is that the fans be kept out of it. People should not fear a fight spilling over when they go to a ball game. I don't want to see the kid go to jail for a year, but he should receive a hefty fine and a year long suspension from major league baseball.
I'd like to see the White Sox get a back of the rotation starter before the deadline. Jose Contreras resembles a shoe in both facial appearance and pitching ability and Javier Vasquez cares too much about strikeouts to ever reach his potential. I call it a "Javi" when a pitcher gets ahead 0-2 in the count then throws 2 "please chase me" breaking balls and a high fastball to fill up the count. A walk usually ensues. Perhaps Brian Anderson plus a couple marginal prospects for Jarrod Washburn would work. Anderson's young, still has all the tools he had when he was a top prospect, and the Mariners would really appreciate someone eating Washburn's contract.
Manny Ramirez needs to calm the hell down. Your on a world series favorite, making obscene amounts of money, in a town that loves you, and in a solid clubhouse. If he doesn't someone should give him a complimentary prostate exam using their foot.
KFC's sauceless chicken wings were disappointing from start to finish.
Brett Favre should be allowed to compete for the Packers QB. I don't see how the Packers would be upset with that.
Women's deoderant commercials represent all things wrong with America. Try paying attention to Degree's "protection for every OMG moment" commercials or that other one where the women stops the cab then tells the guy she'd rather walk. I particularly dislike that woman.
Losing Posada really hurts the Yankees championship aspirations. World series winners tend to have good catchers and those that don't had dominating pitchers. I don't know how the 2002 Angels won, it would be like the Twins winning this year.
Why haven't Josh Smith, Emeka Okafor, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, or Andre Iguodala been signed? This further proves how incompetent NBA GMs are.
Just once I would like to see a normal, somewhat intelligent bystander in a movie. One who notifies the police when they notice villains setting up for incredibly elaborate plots.
Remember kids, only you can keep down the number of polar bear attacks on the French. Please increase them. Good day.

The last thirty minutes of Step Brothers was its weakest stretch, so either you're embellishing or your friend is a douche who doesnt know when to laugh.
I completely disagree and thought from the christmas breakup to the final fight scene were a stretch of a lot of the movies best scenes (catalina wine mixer, the final showdown, the therapist's daydream, the dad's speech, the burying scene). I thought it was a great movie all the way around but I was laughing my ass off at the end.
you would
I agree that the last 30 minutes of the movie were definitely stronger, I've seen it twice now and I think the first half was actually pretty bad.
I love how 2 of the 4 players you mentioned were signed the same day you wrote this.
I'd like to think I influenced the signings. The first half wasn't bad just not rewatchable. It had moments (fergie+jesus, the fight, interviews) but it was slower and the last half hour was equivalent to Anchorman, which somehow did it over a full movie.
