Barry Bonds Press Conference
Mr. Bonds will now make a prepare statement and then answer your questions:
BB: I will fight these lies that have been perpetrated against me by the U.S. government and by baseball. I am being singled out unfairly because I am better than everyone else AND because I'm a successful black athlete. Just look at Michael Vick......uh.....ok, for example O.J......ahh.....Ron Artest.....anyway, they are just picking on me. Are there any questions.
Question: Barry how does this affect your plans for next season?
BB: Oh, I'll be playing somewhere, hitting homeruns and setting more records. Although I guess now it could be for the Marion Marauders at Marion Federal Penitentiary.
Question: You've maintained your innocence in this matter from the beginning but the evidence clearly shows that you were not truthful. What do you have to say to your fans?
BB: You #$%$#$#$%%! That's the stupidest question I've ever heard. I'm not going to even dignify that with another lie.........er.......answer.
Question: So how do you explain the mystical change in your body from your rookie year until now?
BB: Hard work, dedication and a steady supply of my favorite food, HGH burgers, sold only on the Internet. I can give you the number, if you want it, you pencilnecked-geek.
Thank you Barry for your honesty. We all feel a little better now.

Odds and Ends
--It appears that the Yankees and A-Rod may have come to agreement on a 10 year, $275 million dollar contract, and apparently have accomplished this without A-Rod's agent, Scott Boras. The Yankees continue to lose respectability and credibility. First they hose Torre and now after saying if A-Rod opted out of his contract, they were done negotiating with him. Haven't we seen this before with the Yankees? It appears money isn't the only thing the Steinbrenner boys inherited from dear old Dad.
--I still say that end of the year awards should include post-season performances. As far as I'm concerned, Josh Beckett got hosed in the Cy Young voting. Same thing goes with the Heismann Trophy. Aren't post-season games part of a player's overall performance?
--I'm not ready to bail on the Colts' repeating in the Super Bowl just yet, but losing Dwight Freeney is a huge blow to an already beat up squad. Marvin Harrison has played most of the year, Dallas Clark is dinged, Tony Ugoh has been out and now Freeney is done for the year. Teams are going to try and exploit the loss of Freeney and the Colts are going to have to find a way to get back on track. Going to be a tough road ahead for Indy.
--The Stephon Marbury incident shows why the NBA now stands for Nothing But Assclowns. Gambling refs, sexual harrasment, fighting with fans and now a player threatening his coach with blackmail if he doesn't get to start. But I guess they have more important things to do like reprimanding Phil Jackson for his Brokeback mountain references. Hey, if the shoe fits.........
--Barry Bonds has just been indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice involving a four-year investigation as to whether or not he lied under oath to a grand jury looking into steriod use. Can't wait to see what Barry has to say about this........guess we're all just picking on him again.
--And last but certainly not least, Santa Claus has been ordered to stop saying "Ho, ho, ho" in Sidney, Australia because it might be offensive to women. Give me a break.

NFL Week 10 News and Notes
--I stand corrected. Indy had a HUGE hangover against the Chargers. The Chargers certainly didn't play well enough to win that game and the officiating was absolutely horrendous but bottom line is Colts looked flat, unorganized and uninspired. That loss means that the road to the Superbowl is going through Foxborough and who ever ends up in the championship game is going to have to beat that tough Patriot team at home.......not a very enviable job at this point.
--Yes, yes I know the Cowboys beat the Giants. Two big plays to T.O. saved their bacon because honestly, they were outplayed at the line of scrimmage from start to finish by the Giants. Sorry, I'm still not that impressed.
--How about those Packers? After a 34-0 clubbing of the Vikes, I think everybody is figuring out that this team is for real. It looks like the running game is no long MIA and Brett Favre is.........well, just being Brett Favre, throwing TD passes and adding pages to that Hall of Fame resume. Outside of Brady, who is playing better QB right now than Favre?
--The Rams win, The Rams win!! Who the hell wore the Ram's uniforms on Sunday? Apparently the bye week something happened because they looked NOTHING like the 0-8 team that had been showing up pretending to play something related to football. Hey, in that division, who knows, 8-8 might win it, you just never know.
--Good to see Philly get a win this weekend, not so much because I'm a Philly fan but for Andy Reid. Maybe the vultures with get off his back this week, although that might be too much to ask for fans and media in the City of Brotherly Love. It's family like that that make me glad I'm an only child.
--To all the veterans out there, thank you for the sacrifices that you made for us and for our country and that we may have the freedoms that many people take for granted. Thank you and God bless you.

College Football: Thoughts and Observations
---Illinois pulled off the big upset today against #1 ranked Ohio St., but in the present climate is having a QB named "Juice" a really good thing? Looking back, makes you wonder now about O.J. doesn't it?
---There are three Big 12 schools in the top 6 and after this week, it should be top 5. The Big 12 Championship game on Dec. 8 could be for a birth to the BCS National Championship game. Where are all the Big 10 and SEC teams? Oh yeah, I forgot, they keep LOSING!! LOL!!!!!
---Speaking of SEC teams, good investment Alabama. Hear this: at the first sign of trouble, Capt. Sabin will be abandoning ship quicker than you can say buyout.
---Losing to both Navy and Air Force in the same year says it all. Charlie Weiss and Notre Dame are going to have to do some serious soul-searching after this season.........or maybe just do some quarterback searching. It was predicted to be a "rebuilding" year but this is ridiculous. Tony Kornheiser said Charlie Weiss should get a pass on this season. Tony, put down the crack pipe and slowly step away.
--Best team getting very little attention: Hawaii. Yes, I'm one of those people that stay up until 2am watching the late games. Colt Brennan is the REAL deal and is going to be big time on Sundays (remember, I said it first!!!!) To those that don't think Hawaii deserves serious consideration, I have a simple solution: If they run the table and go undefeated, put them in the Championship game and let's see what happens. If not, shame on you.
--I would love to see Darren McFadden win the Heisman, but his inconsistent play is killing him. A weak after rushing for over 300 yds, he goes for 117, mostly garbage yards, after Arkansas was getting blown out by Tennessee. And Matt Ryan can kiss his chances good bye after another mediocre performance. Yes he threw for over 400 yds. But 3 TD's, 2 INT and the loss don't help him one bit. Dennis Dixon from Oregon probably had the best day today by his team being off this week.
--And one final though. It might be a little off subject but I just read a story about how some "health experts" are saying that Santa Claus needs to slim down and put out a new image to the kids of our nations because of obesity and lack of exercise that our youth apparently suffers from. Hey Mr. Expert, do me a favor. Drink a big glass of "shut the hell up" and find something else to do with your time. The problem, I'm sorry to break it to you, isn't Santa Clause, but the lazy parents who stuff their kids full of pizza, McDonalds and any other fast food that they can get their hands on because they are just to busy trying to climb the corporate ladder, get to the gym, get their nails done, meet their buddies after work....................STOP!!!!!!!!! Be a parent, provide something other than junk food for your kids to eat and quit trying to use yet another excuse to emancipate yourself from your parental duties. Ok, I feel better now.
