From the Sports Desk …

February 19, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum 

Thoughts from an occasional sportswriter:

  • I don’t get to see many NBA games, but I get to be some. Last night I saw New Orleans take apart Orlando, and I really got to see Chris Paul do his thing for the first time. Ok, I get it now. He’s quite the talent. And who knows, maybe Tyson Chandler will pick up his game after being traded and returned, and the Hornets will be a threat again.
  • Ok, seriously, Jeff Reed needs to start accepting just how lucky he is to be a kicker for the Steelers. Going all Christian Bale because a convenience store doesn’t have enough paper towels is very Un-Steelers-like, in my book. But at least he kept the penis cleavage tucked away.
  • Hey look, Tiger Woods has a new kid. Now, he’ll win the Masters. You heard it here.
  • Alex Rodriguez must be held accountable for using performance-enhancing drugs! Charles Barkley getting nailed for the world’s most sexist DUI? Hell, let that one go. Put him back on the air and give him a show on The Golf Channel. He’s so entertaining, after all.
  • Sure, a faded Ronaldinho Gaucho is better than nothing for AC Milan, but my heart breaks a little every time I see him play. Ronaldinho still has great skills and football intelligence, but his loss of speed due to consistent lack of training has really made him a fairly ordinary player.
  • And I agree that Franck Ribery could really blossom into a superstar alongside Messi at Barcelona. And I wonder how long it will be before one of the big clubs takes Diego off Werder Breman’s hands.
  • I wonder if Chris Brown has any idea how much he screwed up his career? Rihanna has quickly become beloved in the U.S. and the world. Nonetheless, hopefully this turns out to be a moment to grow from. So I don’t see where stories about boxers wanting to beat up Brown are helping anything.
  • Women’s boxing in the Olympics? Sounds good to me. As long as golf doesn’t get in, I’m cool.

    Yeah, you just go a head & keep on postin’ that link, Wolfrum (you know which one I’m talking about — ooh, you know *exactly* which one I’m talking about) but don’t think you’ll get me to click it again.

    How did our beloved former leader GWB so eloquently put it? Fool me once, shame on me … Fool me twice … uh … er … um … Won’t get fooled again.

    Yeah, that’s the ticket …

    I’ve challenged myself to get “Penis Cleavage” into every fifth post. Maybe you should challenge me to write a “penis cleavage & Jesus” post. Your last challenge worked out Ok.

    Special Message to the future

    Hi. You likely got here from a Google Search for “Penis Cleavage & Jesus.” Well, I’m sorry. Nothing to see here.

    Hugs,

    It’s not often that you can write a sentence that you’re fairly certain has never been spoken, written, or even thought of before, but I’m pretty confident that “I bet Jesus had *enormous* penis cleavage” is a first-timer.

    Re: your “every five posts” challenge — all I can say is that if you ever write four consecutive posts about Rick Warren, John McCain, or Rush Limbaugh, we’re all (and by “all,” of course, I mean dgun, me, & the overstock.com trolls) gonna be really really nervous about what’s coming next … :-)
