The Ultimate Guise

I've come to the conclusion that we should all be thanking Coach K. Yes, you heard me correctly: thank him. As Satan's right hand man he could be doing a lot worse than coaching a basketball team. To my knowledge he is not the cause of world hunger, and he wasn't directly responsible for any terrorist attacks. Sure he teaches them how to throw elbows and get away with fouls no other team can dream of, but he also teaches them how to correctly suck a penis. How man other coaches do that? Homosexuals all over the world should be thanking him for this.
Now as to why Lucifer would choose to place Coach K at Duke was a tough question for me at first. My first thought was that it was just a warm up for K to get his feet wet. Then it occurred to me, he has to try something different---he tried and failed with Hitler, so now he's spreading his word slowly. He's allowing his preachings to get under our skin while building up an army. The generals all hang from the rafters in Cameron.
The big problem with this lies within ourselves. We are playing right into his hands. By hating him so much we are empowering Satan. We need to spread the love. We need to unite in love rather than hatred. So I ask all of you to go hug a Duke fan today.





And if you happen to rip his balls off I assure you I would not be disappointed.

Redskins Rant

Halfway through the NFL season and I'm pleased to say that my favorite team is 2-5. That's right, I said 2-5. The Washington Redskins are my favorite team, but for the life of me I can't say why. Every single year they go into the season with the most overrated team, and every year with the exception of last season they are always categorized as a "disappointment." As much as I like them, I can't help but root against them week in and week out. Their owner could care less about how the team ends up as long as his pocketbook continues to grow, and their coaching staff is by far the most arrogant in the league. After 6 years owning the franchise, one would think Snyder would understand that the free agent barrage every March does not equate to victories in the fall. They waste their draft picks on "proven" players such as TJ Suck My Nuts and Brandon "Mr. Inconsistent" Lloyd and when they turn out to do nothing they will try the same exact approach next year. I must say, the draft picks the Reskins do end up taking in the last couple years have been superb. Taylor Jacobs and Rocky McIntosh have done wonders turning around the franchise, Carlos Rogers is improving morale for free agent cornerbacks looking for jobs, and Jason Campbell is getting rave reviews in the clipboard holding classes, but only managed a B- in headset operations.
As for the coaching staff--what exactly does Joe Gibbs do besides post game press conferences? If you can answer that you're smarter than I am. It has been well published that Al Saunders has a 700 page playbook. Amazingly only one of those pages seems to work with the Redskins. Teams can watch a Chiefs game from last year and know the Redskins playbook better than they do. I also have to commend Gregg Williams's decision to let LaVar Arrington go. Warrick Holdman fits in with the Redskins defense a lot better--has no football instincts, can't rush the passer, and can't tackle anybody. Another good call was getting Adam Archuleta--a safety who couldn't cover Kerry Collins if he was running a pattern. Apparently he is arrogant enough to believe he could win with those scrubs than by all means, let him lose.

Character....or not

Although I've been spending the majority of my time away from work playing NCAA07, I have paid some attention to the sports news recently, and the more I watch, the more I am determined to root against Marvin Lewis. I hate to say it because I'm a huge Chad Johnson fan, and Carson Palmer is on his way to stardom. Marvin Lewis made it a point to address the character issue of his players and how it affected his draft, then went out and did everything he said he wouldn't. Maybe he has something against Adam Sandler and figures nobody will have to watch The Longest Yard if they can watch criminals play football 16+ weeks this year. Though I guess he also figured that Chris Henry needed more friends and thought that they might as well be on the team. This attack on character issues should not just be focused on Bengals players, as every team has their share of problems. My biggest character issue has to deal with The Redskins and Sean Taylor. How Joe Gibbs got the reputation of being a character coach is beyond me. I'm pretty sure everyone will agree that Dexter Manley was NOT a high-character guy. The Redskins chose to bench LaVar Arrington for "not playing within the system," but don't suspend Sean Taylor for spitting in Michael Pittman's face. Sure, he was kicked out of the game, but he also lied to the coaching staff. He should've been immediately suspended....if not for the following playoff game, then at least let it known then that he is being suspended for a game in the following season. They essentially suspended LaVar considering their backup was Warrick Holdman, and nobody in the NFL could even put them in the same league (not to mention if you take a look at the defensive stats for the Redskins last year the difference was obvious. Can someone name an off the field problem LaVar has had? At least he's not spitting in faces or waving guns at people? What kind of example does this type of action set? I mean I guess its fitting since the legal system is already set out to make life easier for athletes anyways, and considering we're supposed to assume innocence, it kind of puts those in charge in a tough spot. Nevertheless, character is diminishing as a factor is someone's draft status no matter what the league says.

Common Courtesy

Is it just me or is the world becoming a less desirous place to live? People are becoming rapidly less friendly and more in a hurry to go places or do things.

Is it still considered rude not to answer the phone when you've made plans with people....and then not to return any of the calls following a message? What do I know though, I would've checked my phone repeatedly if I knew I was meeting someone. Isn't it just common sense to call and apologize when you don't meet up with them? Perhaps its my fault for associating with such people, but nowadays I feel like its hard not to.

Isn't this the same type of courtesy people are showing on the roads on a daily basis now? I constantly find myself letting people in without the slightest bit of thanks from them. Kinda makes you wanna flick them off.

This type of thing seems to be happening more and more often to me....why can't we just get along?

NBA Draft

Seeing as the NBA Draft was last night, I thought I'd share my thoughts: Too many people actually care about the NBA. The officiating in the NBA is just as bad as it is in the World Cup, and the only people worth watching are Mark Cuban and Ron Artest. The marketing techniques are almost as predictable as the games themselves....right now I'm just waiting to see Dwayne Wade on the cross. Before these playoffs I actually did follow the Wizards, although I'm really not sure why. They seem to have continued their tradition of stockpiling picks that will have no impact on the team for the next 5 years. Not to mention they took the exactly same player with both picks. What is the point of that? But back to the issue at hand.......the NBA needs to revise its relatively new rules allowing zone defenses. They might as well not exist considering you still can't have anyone sit in the lane (thus eliminating the zone. That just isn't basketball. Watch College basketball instead....the players actually care and know how to play defense.
