Sports...Occassionally Awkward
Sausages!
If you love sports and awkwardness, then this video is the one for you. Every one of the Top 10 are quotable but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be Joe Kines talking at 100 mph, Shaq "not giving a sh*t" or Joe Namath "strugg-a-ling". There is nothing like watching athletes/commentators make complete fools of themselves for the entire world to see.
Chris Evert and Suzy Kolber approve of this post.
Till then,

Fantasy Basketball Anyone?
Like basketball? Like fantasies? TSR is recruiting for a fantasy basketball league. If you are interested shoot me an e-mail to reganbrenden@gmail.com
I think we need three more so e-mail us quickly to reserve your spot. This isn't a money league and the guys in it are rooks when it comes to fantasy basketball.

BCS Doomsday Scenarios
How's it going sausages?
Ah the BCS, everyone's favorite playoff system will be in the headlines for at least the next three months. Yesterday ESPN's Brad Edwards projected that Ohio State, the #1 ranked team in the nation, would be 5th in the BCS standings if they came out today. This probably won't hold up but it might be good for the system in the long run if it does. My dream ending to this college football season results in fans from at least 3 big time schools get really angry at the BCS, enough for them to threaten to strike against the system. Sorry Boise and Utah, you didn't have enough clout to get the job done. How would this armageddon play out?
Something like this (cue harp music and me going into a dream),,,
OSU goes undefeated. Boise beats every team by 50. TCU beats every team by 50. Oklahoma and Nebraska go undefeated and play in the Big 12 championship, Oklahoma wins. Oregon runs the table in the PAC 10. Alabama rolls through the rest of the SEC and beats South Carolina in the neutral site SEC championship game. FSU wins the ACC. I don't care who wins the Big East. This could happen.
OSU, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, FSU, Big East and Boise would be automatic qualifiers. The three at large bids would go to TCU, Nebraska and Stanford. Stanford because the Rose Bowl would have the first two selections of replacement teams because the PAC 10 and Big 10 automatic qualifiers would be in the national championship game. After Stanford the rose bowl would probably pick Boise. Then the Sugar Bowl would pick Nebraska because of their huge fan base and finally Fiesta would pick TCU because they are undefeated and their school's proximity to the game. Also TCU fans travel really well, I learned this at the college world series. That sets up the following bowls,,,
BCS Title - OSU vs Oregon
Sugar - Alabama vs Nebraska
Orange - FSU vs Big East
Rose - Stanford vs Boise
Fiesta - Oklahoma vs TCU
Say this happens and Alabama rolls Nebraska, Boise beats Stanford easily, and Oklahoma destroys TCU. That means there would be 4 teams with legitimate claims to a national title,
1) Whoever wins the "National title game." Preferably OSU squeaks by Oregon because the PAC 10 is stronger than the Big 10 this year.
2) Oklahoma would be undefeated and would have beaten two BCS teams (TCU and Nebraska)
3) Alabama would have one loss (on the road to a ranked SEC team) and probably will have played the toughest schedule in the country and they would have won the toughest conference avenging their only loss.
4) Boise would be undefeated beating three ranked teams.
I hope this would make people mad enough to demand federal legislation blowing up the BCS. I don't see how they wouldn't make more money with a playoff system anyways.
Here is more comical evidence that the BCS sucks.

Quick Roundup
Sausages,
Let's cut to the chase here. Excellent sports viewing on TV tonight coupled with some pretty intriguing story lines. Let's breakdown the top two events that are on my plate this evening.
1). Brett Favre's wristwatches vs. The Dirty Sanchez's. I personally circled this on my calendar as soon as I found out Randy Moss was returning to 'Sota and Jenn Sterger worked for the Jets. Don't know which got my attention quicker. Revis is scheduled to start for the Jets which means he'll whine when Moss bombs his island...again. Odds: 5/1 - hamstring 3/1 - ego. But all kidding aside, I'm taking the Jets in a close and hopefully memorable edition of MNF. All the MNF games this season have been good; let's hope that trend continues.
2). Giants vs. Braves. Well, we all know the Brooks Conrad debacle so there is no good beating a dead horse. He might be forced into action because Troy Glaus, yes, TROY GLAUS is starting at third. If he moves to his left or right, he is going down in a heap. I had my money on Air Bud starting at second but Glaus will have to do for now. Bumgarner vs. Lowe (short rest). My first instinct is to take the Braves in such a big game but I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants closed out the series tonight.
P.S. I found Cheech Marin aka Rupesh Shingadia from South London. That, my fellow Sausages, is a moustache.

New "He Blows POW" and Jim Calhoun
Check out the "He Blows!" player of the week to your right. After reading up on Brooks Conrad I feel bad for him. But sucking that much in such an important game clinched the award. Not giving it to him would have been a disservice to all who blow.
In other news Uconn is under investigation for recruiting violations?? No not Uconn and their esteemed history of compliance and recruitment of quality young men?!? Below is a video of Calhoun at his best, a great post game rant D Lob as well! It seems that J Woww from the Jersey Shore imitates Jim Calhoun when she rants "If ya know something tell me, If ya know something tell me"
