University of Louisville Football Stumbles

Congratulations to my University of Louisville Cardinals Football team. In 60 minutes of football on Saturday in Tampa, they managed to totally undo 3 years of respect and hard work. Good job guys - don't forget to read your press clippings on Monday morning. They will be lucky to even be ranked in the top 25 come Monday.

Basketball practice starts in 20 days.

Nascar Tempers

Did anybody else catch the NASCAR hot heads running in circles this past weekend at the flat track in Loudon? Robby Gordon will definately be fined $10,000 and docked 25 points for his use of "colorful" language when describing his friend, Michael Waltrip. NASCAR will also put him on probation for the rest of the year. I doubt they will park him for a race.

Kasey Kahne, however, maybe a different story. After he was wrecked by Kyle Busch, the driver of the Kellogg's Chevy, Kasey intentionally drove his Dodge into the front end of Kyle's car. That is the kind of behavior NASCAR has said it will not tolerate. NASCAR likes to send messages a little louder each time that they punish somone. For example, at Bristol a couple weeks ago, Tony Raines was parked for 5 laps for rough driving. Earlier in the race, a couple drivers were parked for 2 laps.

Kasey Kahne is one of NASCAR's "young guns", and he is pretty and very popular with the teenage girls. They have "only" docked him 25 points and fined him. I thought that NASCAR would have sat him out for a race, like they did with Kevin Harvick at Martinsville back in 2002. These boys drive around at > 150 MPH. Somebody is going to get hurt unless NASCAR does something. The ONLY way to get the driver's attention is to sit their butts in time out and take away their keys for a weekend.

The World is Coming to an End

Today is Monday, September 20, 2005.

Vanderbilt University (the Harvard of the South) is leading the SEC West Division in Football. Vandy is one of them thar academic schools, like Drexler.

Indiana University is leading the Big Ten at 3-0.

My Cincinnati Bengals are 2-0 and leading the AFC North.

Whatever you do, don't buy any green bananas this week, unless you are planning to take them with you when all those end of the world predictions in Revalations come true.

Weekend Football

Give a BIG shout out to my Bengals. They're 2-0. Same for my beloved University of Louisville Cardinals.

Don't worry Kentucky fan. October 15 and Midnight Madness is only 26 days away. Rich Brooks is so gone at the end of the year (even though this is NOT his fault).

West Virginia won over the weekend. Looks like their first loss isn't going to be until the Cardinals knock them off in Morgantown in October. Take that 3 Kick Dad.

More trouble for Lance Armstrong

Credit to JC from Cincy for sending me this news that came out over the AP news wire late last night. Looks Like Lance is having some troubles with the French police.

11:00 PM PARIS, France --

Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time.

Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de France. The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant,and soap - which have been banned by French authorities for over 75 years.

Armstrong's girlfriend and American rocker, Sheryl Crowe, is quoted as saying, "We use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be ok throughout Europe."

Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also physically searched Armstrong himself and found several other interesting items that they have never seen before, including a backbone and balls.

Yet another Knock Knock Joke

NFL Predictions

Here, with little fanfare, are my picks for the 2005 NFL season.

AFC East - Patriots. Duh.
AFC North - Baltimore. Kyle Boler comes of age. Maybe
AFC South - Colts. Peyton won't throw 50 TD's again, but he won't need to. The defense is a little better. Colts go 13-3 and get homefield through the playoffs.
AFC West - San Diego. Tomlinson is the best back in the league.
AFC Wild Cards - Tennessee and Bengals

NFC East - Eagles. Skins suck, Giants suck, Cowboys suck - someone has to win this division.
NFC North - Vikings. Addition through subtraction. Losing Randy Moss makes the Vikes better.
NFC South - Carolina. Panthers finished strong last year and bounce back to Super Bowl form of 2003.
NFC West - Seahawks. Make or break year for Holgrem.
NFC Wild Cards - Falcons and Detroit Lions

Super Bowl - Colts v. Carolina Pathers - Peyton wins the big one finally. Colts win 45-17.

Louisville Cardinals Win

Note to UK fans calling in on the radio talk shows about how Louisville "sucks" because they could only beat little brother by 7.

Scoreboard ----> 31-24, Cards Win. Enough said.

Don't worry Cat fan - October 15 is only 43 days away.
