Roger Clemens To Be Arraigned Monday

"Former Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens, who has been indicted on six charges that he lied to Congress regarding his use of performance-enhancing drugs, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon on criminal charges in Washington D.C. Clemens will appear before U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, facing charges that he obstructed a congressional inquiry with 15 separate statements made under oath, including the statement that he never used steroids or human growth hormone.

Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, has stated that federal prosecutors offered a plea but the pitcher rejected. The former pitcher faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine (WEEI)."

This is getting really serious for Clemens. I am not sure about all the proof they have on him, but from what I have read the government doesn't usually pursue these types of charges unless they really feel like they have you. I am against that Congress wasted it's time on sports, but I am fir pressing charges in this case. You can't lie when under oath, and if you do you have to pay the price, otherwise what's the point of being under oath?

Either way someone is going to look really bad. If Clemens if convicted then his entire career is going to go down the shitter, plus he could be doing some serious jail time. If he gets off it's more tax money spent on reckless shit that doesn't matter, and Congress would look like a bunch of idiot (and they don't need any help in that department).

Why Not?

Why not see why I don't repect the South?

Mass. To Ban The Word "Retard"

Well here is something that will have DP and I in jail in no time...

"Soldiers of the anti-R-word movement will be collecting signatures from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Great Hall from those who “pledge and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the R-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities (FoxNews).”

Are you fucking serious? Listen, I get it. It's not a nice word. You could even argue that it is just as bad as saying "fag" or something, but you can't go around banning words, it just isn't American.

There are a lot of words I don't like, but you just can't ban them, plus I think this word can be useful. Call me ignorant or whatever you want, but if DP goes on an hour and a half rant about how JaMarcus Russell is going to the Pro Bowl there is no other way to voice what's going on in my head other then to call him a "fucking retard".

Once again, I am not saying that it is OK to just go around saying this word, but at the same time you can't just ban a word, because you don't like it. The N-Word is still around, I don't think girls like the word "cunt" very much, and I'm sure homosexuals are not thrilled when they hear fag every 5 seconds, but hey, they are just words, and you can't go around and have the FCC controlling how people talk.

So for all asshole who are trying to do this fuck you, I like freedom, so suck it up...

Congress Attacking Goodell About Concussions

"NFL commissioner Roger Goodell did not acknowledge a connection between head injuries on the football field and later brain diseases while defending the league's policies on concussions before Congress on Wednesday. That frustrated several members of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, including the committee chairman, Michigan Democrat John Conyers, when Goodell told him the NFL isn't waiting for that debate to play out and is taking steps to make the game safer.

"I just asked you a simple question. What is the answer?" persisted Conyers.

Goodell replied by saying a medical expert could give a better answer than he could. But some House members complained later that Dr. Ira Casson, chairman of the NFL's committee on concussions, had not testified. Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez gave Casson some exposure anyway, playing a clip of a TV interview in which he denied evidence of a link between multiple head injuries in NFL players with brain disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's. Sanchez said that reminded her of tobacco companies denying a link between smoking and health damage in the 1990s(Sportsline)."

This story really aggravates me. First off it is up to the doctor to clear a player, so I really don't know how much say the NFL has anymore (used to be different). My other question (which I seem to be asking a lot) is why the fuck is congress involved in this? This is something the NFLPA should be all over. I think Congress probably have more important thing to attend to then concussions in NFL player. I think that most doctors are still learning about concussions, and that they are getting better. I really don't see how these hearing will do anything, unless they just put in more stupid rules (like not being able to hit QBs, ect).

Another Reason Schwarzenegger Is The Man

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling lawmakers why he took the action. A Democratic assemblyman who heckled the governor during a recent event in San Francisco actually received two messages: the veto letter itself and a not-so-subtle rebuke creatively hidden within it.

Like a find-the-word puzzle, the second message was visible by stringing together the first letter of each line down the left-hand margin. It consisted of a common four-letter vulgarity followed by the letters "y-o-u (FoxNews)."

I know little to nothing about Arnold Schwarzenegger's politics, but this is fantastic, and when you add this to the photo above it instantly makes him the most badass Governor of all-time...

Ike Skelton Talks Shit

Curt Shilling For Senate Update

WEEI is reporting that Curt Schilling will not run for the vacant Senate seat thus proving there is a God.

Schilling To Run For Congress?

I have been holding off on this story hoping someone else will write it...

A day after writing on his blog that he has "some interest" in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Curt Schilling did not back off -- and sounded even more determined in considering the opportunity.

The one thing Schilling would not be fond of is the scrutiny that would come with a potential run.

"[Running] would be fun. The whole spotlight media crap, not so much," the former major league pitcher, who helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 and 2007, told Boston radio station WEEI on Thursday. "But [a run] would be a lot of fun because pretty much anybody that you're fighting against in office right now doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on right now.

"There's nobody you can go up against that you couldn't probably drag out a laundry list of stuff and say, 'Listen, this person's already proven that they're status quo, that they're business as usual, and we need anything but in every way shape and form moving forward."

A registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, Schilling wrote on his blog that while his family and video game company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, "I do have some interest in the possibility (ESPN)."

Ok first off Schilling you are a fucking liar. You love the media, you are actually part of the media. You shoot your mouth off on the radio all day, so don't act like that isn't why you are doing this. We have seen it so many times that there are guys who just can't leave the spotlight (Favre). Schilling knows he can't play anymore, but this would put him back in the media focus. No one should be surprised by this. He has had his hand in politics for awhile, and is just a fucking media whore. I respect everything he did for the Sox, and I do believe he pushed them over the hump, but man he makes it tough to like him...

Lou Holtz Will Not Run For Congress

Just to update the story from yesterday....

"Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz tells an Indiana television station he doesn't plan to run for Congress. Holtz told WNDU-TV of South Bend that he's focusing on working for ESPN, saying: "I don't want to run for Congress (Sportsline)."

Too bad. I want to hear Loud Holtz talk as much as possible. I find him funny (lisp/age) and inspirational (pump up speeches), which is a very rare combo...

Lou Holtz For Congress

Finally some politics I can get behind....

"Former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz is mulling a run for Congress in Florida as a Republican, a GOP strategist said Tuesday. Holtz could decide in the next several weeks whether to seek the central Florida congressional seat held by Democrat U.S. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, said the strategist who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to talk about the matter (Sportsline)."

Sure he is 72 years old. Sure he has a lisp, but if he was running for Massachusetts I would vote for him. Why? Because the man gives the best pump up speeches. Honestly when he is on ESPN and does the speeches he would say for different teams each week it would get me so pumped up I was ready to play. Yea, I stayed on my couch, but man I was pumped.

So....Go for it Lou!!!!!!!!!!!

Schwarzenegger Wields 2-Foot Knife in Twitter Video

"In the video, which was posted Tuesday, the Republican governor (Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sitting at his desk in the Capitol admiring a 2-foot-long folding knife before looking up to thank followers for their budget-balancing ideas (FoxNews)."

WTF? California is almost at the point of declaring bankruptcy and Schwarzenegger is doing videos with a huge knife making jokes......HILARIOUS. Good for him, at least he is going down with a sense of humor. Not sure I would be real pleased if I lived there, but since I don't this is fucking awesome.

Robots That Eat Humans...Great

So what does your government spend your tax dollars on????

"It could be a combination of 19th-century mechanics, 21st-century technology — and a 20th-century horror movie. A Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on a steam-powered robot that would fuel itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find — grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies. Animal and human corpses contain plenty of energy, and they'd be plentiful in a war zone (FoxNews)."

FUCK THAT!!!!!!! I have seen the Matrix movie nothing good comes from this. Soon the machine won't differentiate between dead and alive bodies, and I think we all know what happens then...

Porn Star To Run For Senate

"She's a Louisiana-born porn star who says she is considering a 2010 run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican David Vitter, whose family-values reputation was marred in 2007 when his name was linked to a Washington prostitution ring. Daniels, 30, insists she's serious. She's spending her own money on a "listening tour" to hear what people have to say as she considers a possible run, and said she isn't just starting a publicity stunt to promote her work or embarrass Vitter. However, she said she hasn't lived in Louisiana for seven years -- she currently resides in Florida -- and would need to re-establish residency to run (FoxNews)."

Man Louisiana is fucking crazy. Honestly if she runs I bet she wins. It would be kind of hilarious to see how Washington would react to this, because basically it is like just saying all of them have a joke for a job and Americans know it...HAHA senator Stormy Daniels...fantastic!

Anyways here is more pics of her...

Scary Sh*t

More on the plane scare in NYC ...

BCS Bowls To Change?

"Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson on Friday concludes a two-day trip to Washington hoping to raise awareness of what he considers inadequacies in the Bowl Championship Series system. "We're simply here to educate, inform, make awareness about the BCS and we're trying to help our cause -- the Mountain West's cause and other conferences -- with the entire BCS system," Thompson said. "We are planning to submit within the next two weeks a proposal for changes in the BCS system. ... Our proposal will basically be for a more equitable system and we will have some suggested changes in the determination and a little more performance-based results and determination (ESPN)."

I 100% agree that there needs to be a change in the bowl system, but what the fuck does this have to do with the Senate? I didn't like when Congress got involved with baseball, and I don't like this. Listen, there are a lot more important things going on in the country, and I would have to say that changing the Bowl System has to be lower on the list. Hopefully one the the BCS will get its head out of its ass and change to a playoff system, but keep the government out of this. They can't even fix what they are supposed to.
