I would like to apologize for taking so much time between articles. I am better than that. The streak will continue since this is not technically an article, rather a collection of my thoughts and truths.
NASCAR announced it would not penalize one of its drivers for steroid use. This is the greatest piece of evidence I can point to as to why NASCAR is not a sport. Steroids help in sports. My way of defining a sport actually has nothing to do with the game. I define a sport as an activity whose participants you would fear getting in a fight with. I'll be honest, I don't even want to get in a fight with an NFL kicker, most of whom clock in at 6'0", 200 lbs. However if Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Phil Mickelson, or Vijay Singh made a pass at my wife, I don't think I would hesitate to instigate a brawl. Granted Tiger Woods is an exception, but there are exceptions to every rule.
I will be irate if Michigan loses to Notre Dame tomorrow. Absolutely furious. Notre Dame sucks. Michigan is bad, but Notre Dame sucks. I have actually heard people say that Notre Dame's comeback win against San Diego State University was a good thing because they showed guts in the fourth. Typical, people are always blowing bubbles up ND's ass. Here's a stat, in the past 6 years, Notre Dame has beaten 6 teams ranked in the final AP poll. In that same span, they have gone to 2 BCS bowls. Since '02 they've basically been Boise State (they schedule a ton of creampuffs every year), only Boise State would probably kick their ass the last 2 years plus this one.
Is anyone else disgusted by the way ESPN is covering Vince Young's situation? Back the #### down, you have no business advertising people's most private faults to millions. From the bottom of my heart, #### you to whoever dug up that report and whoever wrote the article.
I'm giving my two most anti-climactic games of the year to this weekend's OSU-USC and NYJ vs. NE. People had circled the Bucks/Trojans as a clash of the titans since the bowls ended last year, but is anyone giving OSU a shot to win? I don't, they won't be able to run the ball at all and Boeckman will make a couple costly mistakes. I was interested in the Jets/Pats game since Favre got shipped out, but now with Brady gone, you have to like the Jets.
West Virginia is regretting the 6 year contract it gave to Bill Stewart as of last week. I saw nothing from his coaching abilities that impressed me.
Did I mention I'm rooting for the Buckeyes tomorrow. I want to see Pete Carroll's "Does anyone have any batteries?" face. If you don't get the reference, youtube the Nike Sparq Training commercials. You'll know it when you see it.
Cliff Lee is a beast. Johan Santana is a beast. Brandon Webb is a beast. CC Sabathia is a beast.
Trivia question of the week: Where the hell is Matt Leinart? I hated him at USC and now he's flopping in the NFL. Smug sense of self satisfaction, which is OK because he has 40 million dollars. Everybody wins.
Night Night.

Score of Michigan/ Notre Dame:
Michigan 0
Notre Dame 7
Officals: 14
This is an embarassment. You can't beat the officials. These men should be relegated to sewage inspectors, which they would still suck at. Ridiculous. I want an investigation.
I hate to whine about the officiating, but the officials made sure that Michigan never had a chance to win that game. I question the following decisions: I got to see a replay of the first Michigan fumble and it looked like it went forward half a yard (I'm waiting to see this again as Notre Dame Broadcasting Channel only showed it once), the personal foul chop block when Michigan's center slipped and fell (you can tell this because he put his hands under him to try to catch himself), the pass interference call on Morgan Trent when he get pushed away and grabbed Tate's jersey which would have brought up fourth down (that had no business being called given the push off), the pass interference on a bomb call that even NBC said wasn't pass interference, the pass interference call on Donovan Warren in the endzone that would have brought up third and 2 that even my Notre Dame loving friend admits wasn't pass interference, Greg Matthews' touchdown catch which can in no way be argued was not a catch (I had to make up a curse word for how angry I was at that call, the ball never moves and his hand is clearly under it), throwing Carson Butler out of the game when slapped a shit talking Domer after the play (this isn't soccer, leave that bullshit over in Europe). The common factor in all of these calls but one is the two side judges who have no business making any of those calls.
I can show respect to the way Notre Dame created and capitalized on turnovers, Charlie Weis for hanging in thereafter his ACL got shredded (that was definitely karma by the way), they have a good running back and 2 very good wide receivers.
That said, I want to see a rematch officiated by a crew not from the Big East. They're already famous for their incompetence and I'm sure they have a beef with Rich Rodriguez. Think of it this way, you know a couple who went through an extremely bitter divorce. The man is now dating an attractive young girl (albeit she has some problems to work out) and your the father of the wife who just got dumped by her boyfriend (sort of like how WVU's title dreams got dumped by ECU). Your out to dinner and happen to notice the former husband out with his girlfriend at the same restaurant. If your friend owns the restaurant, is there any chance that you don't try to make their meal as miserable as possible? Don't tell me you wouldn't enjoy watching the waiter subtly hit on the girlfriend while the former husband erupts in anger. Well in this analogy, the husband is Rich Rod, the girlfriend is Michigan, the wife is WVU, you're the Big East, and the friend who owns the restaurant is the officials. Can you see why the officials might try to piss all over Michigan because of a beef that isn't directly their's?
