The Shark says Tiger is DONE?….
Posted by UFreak in 
…well, maybe its just his turn!??…Everyone wants to feel needed; -makes’a the world go round!
Greg Norman, former #1 Golfer in the WORLD! (impressed???) said this,…yes he “did-illy-li-do-did”! (Did anyone get the number of that Ned Flanders bus that just ran me over there???)…. http://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,2094244,00.html?sct=uk_t2_a9
I personally think Tiger will win more Majors but maybe, like Ken Griffey Jr, he will fall short of expectations. Griffey 2.0 was a near lock to eclipse the Home Run mark set by Aaron, and then broken by Cheater Barroids Bonds! He missed it!….injuries and better options came along.
Winning Majors, or finishing your career with more Home Runs than anyone else, is more than just establishing the pace early in your career. You have health and fame to deal with! Fame like those players before never even thought about! For Tiger, its probably the battle with motivation! Not the motivation of playing golf!…or of playing GREAT golf….but of “why” bother playing great golf, when I already have everything I’ll ever want! His addictions are golf and cha-chinging “party-ass”…..He’s already mastered great golf, so why not spend the rest of his (relatively young) life bagging the freakiest freaks he can afford? Who wouldn’t at least THINK that? -After all, EVERYTHING a man does in his WHOLE life, is base on the pusuit of ass! It may not be the one you’re tied down to, but you want hawt ass! This is the motivation Tiger might be dealing with, more than the “oh, everyone’s whispering things about me” like The Shark suggests! Does ANYONE think he really “learned” anything in that Sex-addict clinic? -you think ANYone wood,..uh, would? Its like sending an alcoholic to re-hab; They only go to say they tried!
So, someone stuck a microphone in another Sports figures face, and out came something print-worthy! Greg Norma(n)l doesn’t think Tiger will over-come the distractions and win anymore!….Ok, fine. He may not need to!…he’s still far ahead of just about everyone else!
The Big(L)East is about to Fall?…
Well, Stand up, already!
Jump in bed with TexASS, Okly, and Okly State!…..Kansas and K-State would be good too. Baylor, Iowa State and Texas Tech should stay around for fodder. -TAMU and Mizzu are goners!
UC, UConn (if it can agree to stay), Boston College, Lo’ville, Rutgers, WVU, TCU and maybe USF would prove to be a powerful and far reaching 16 Team Conference!….Of course you’d have to accept the name “Texas Longhorns, and their Bitches15″ for a name, because Texas ain’t sharing shit with anyone! Still, like John Goodman at Thanksgiving, there’s bound to be leftovers, right?….or,…

ok, maybe not?…
Either way, its better than starving!..or, its equal to starving. I’m not sure, I’m not a meteorologist here! With the pull of basketball teams, the Big(L)East has something of value to offer Texas and the BiG12/10/whatever! Most importantly, the flavor of Texas will still be strong with The Longhorns, Baylor, T-Tech, TCU and 3/4 of the Oklahoma roster ALL proudly representing the Alamo State!
16 team conferences are going to be the norm, so why not jump all the way!?!?!…
70,000 bees?….Who counts stuff like this?
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The final round of a college golf tournament has been called off because of an unusual hazard at the 18th green: bees.
Texas-Arlington’s UTA/Waterchase Invitational was canceled Tuesday after a limb from a tree holding 70,000 bees fell and exposed a beehive at Waterchase Golf Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
UTA spokesman Gregg Elkin said bees were swarming the area within minutes and several people were stung, though none seriously.
Elkin says a beekeeper was called in and recommended the area remain cleared for several hours. That prompted officials to call off the event early in the final round.
Results reverted to the two rounds played Monday. Wichita State won the event.
Who’s the “Rainman” who counts bees?….”Excellent driver, I’m an excellent driver”!…..70,000 bees, 70,000 bees”…” 15 minutes until WAPNER’S ON !”. Hey, in a down economy, he’s lucky to BEE working!
Well, Congrates to The Shockers of Wichita State! Well played, well played! I’m a “Bee” Golfer too!
Chud Ocho-Twit-o is making friends in New England!
What were they expecting?…..EFFORT EVERY GAME?…hahahahahahahahaha, cough-cough, hahahahahahahahahaha, -oh man!…If this wasn’t the NE Patriots I’d suspect maybe this was their first year in the League! Chud is a Clown!
Chud Johnson (aka: Chad Ocho-Douchbag-io) doesn’t play Football to win games!…He only plays to get his face on TV and promote himself! Football is like, 5th on his list!
Tedy Bruschi fired out at “The Chud” for being a twit!…twut?…twat?…or…whatever it is, -twitting!…He’s a “tweet-boy”? Note to Mr Bruschi: Where have you been?….Actually, since Chud “twatted” that he’s: “never seen the “(New England) Machine worked n person”, maybe I need to ask BOTH of them; “Where ya been - the last 7 years?”
Bruschi, THIS IS the highlight of Chud’s contribution to a Football team. –well, that and; Blaming everyone else not “him” for losing games, Crying like a puzzy about not getting enough balls throw at him (or slapped in his face, after the game), Calling out players on the other team (-then failing to live up to his smack or bets), and/or Disappearing when his team needs him most! Believe me, Mr Bruschi, Chud’s tweets are the least destructive thing he does!
OK, to be fair….Chud does have 4-5 good performances a year!…That’s where he builds up the credentials for spouting off like a 3rd grader on the play-ground! The problem NOW is, he doesn’t get Cleveland twice a year and wont play the easiest schedule (nearly) every year! New England wins a lot, and will play what ends up being a tougher schedule most years!
Bottom line, Tedy!…Chud changed jersey colors, not his stripes! Don’t expect much, and that way he’ll surprise you 4-5 times out of 16…..Those other guys on the team, who WANT Team wins?..yeah, THEY’LL have to fill in the 11-12 other games Chud wont show up to play in! Usually he fails to “play” in those games because his focus is on silly bullshit non-Football antics. You know, the IMPORTANT stuff! — He’s a Clown!
There is one “UP”-side to all this, of course!……HE’S YOUR PROBLEM NOW!…..good riddance jack-ass!!!

An American you might not have heard about….Heather Penney!
Late in the morning of the Tuesday that changed everything, Lt. Heather “Lucky” Penney was on a runway at Andrews Air Force Base and ready to fly. She had her hand on the throttle of an F-16 and she had her orders: Bring down United Airlines Flight 93. The day’s fourth hijacked airliner seemed to be hurtling toward Washington. Penney, one of the first two combat pilots in the air that morning, was told to stop it.
The one thing she didn’t have as she roared into the crystalline sky was live ammunition. Or missiles. Or anything at all to throw at a hostile aircraft.
Except her own plane. So that was the plan.
Because the surprise attacks were unfolding, in that innocent age, faster than they could arm war planes, Penney and her commanding officer went up to fly their jets straight into a Boeing 757.
“We wouldn’t be shooting it down. We’d be ramming the aircraft,” Penney recalls of her charge that day. “I would essentially be a kamikaze pilot.”
For years, Penney, one of the first generation of female combat pilots in the country, gave no interviews about her experiences on Sept. 11 (which included, eventually, escorting Air Force One back into Washington’s suddenly highly restricted airspace).
But 10 years later, she is reflecting on one of the lesser-told tales of that endlessly examined morning: how the first counterpunch the U.S. military prepared to throw at the attackers was effectively a suicide mission.
“We had to protect the airspace any way we could,” she said last week in her office at Lockheed Martin, where she is a director in the F-35 program.
Penney, now a major but still a petite blonde with a Colgate grin, is no longer a combat flier. She flew two tours in Iraq and she serves as a part-time National Guard pilot, mostly hauling VIPs around in a military Gulfstream. She takes the stick of her own vintage 1941 Taylorcraft tail-dragger whenever she can.
But none of her thousands of hours in the air quite compare with the urgent rush of launching on what was supposed to be a one-way flight to a midair collision.
First of her kind
She was a rookie in the autumn of 2001, the first female F-16 pilot they’d ever had at the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard. She had grown up smelling jet fuel. Her father flew jets in Vietnam and still races them. Penney got her pilot’s licence when she was a literature major at Purdue. She planned to be a teacher. But during a graduate program in American studies, Congress opened up combat aviation to women and Penney was nearly first in line.
“I signed up immediately,” she says. “I wanted to be a fighter pilot like my dad.”
On that Tuesday, they had just finished two weeks of air combat training in Nevada. They were sitting around a briefing table when someone looked in to say a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. When it happened once, they assumed it was some yahoo in a Cesna. When it happened again, they knew it was war.
But the surprise was complete. In the monumental confusion of those first hours, it was impossible to get clear orders. Nothing was ready. The jets were still equipped with dummy bullets from the training mission.
Welcome to the BIG TIME Texas A&M!….now, who’s gonna be next?
A mere “wag of a finger” now separates the Texas A&M Aggies from becoming full fledged members of the most DOMINANT College Sports Conference on the planet! The concern over ”which” Big12/10 bitch institution(Baylor) is trying to be a speed bump in the process aside, the only open question is; “Which lucky team gets to make it 14?”….”or, 14, 15 and 16!?”…
The most talked about teams have been FSU and Virginia Tech…..but, Virginia Tech used up their owed favor getting into the ACC over Syracuse a few (several) years ago. Its believed they still have an ongoing “oral” obligation to some Senator, that they are still working to pay off (slurp-slop!). VTech is a strong program in Football, but an edgy liability in the other sports. Not “my” favorite option by any means!
FSU, as most know, owns a competitive nature in many of the sports disciplines! Their problem is that they’ve never cherished the competitive posture of the SEC. Teams are expected to battle for dominance in the SEC, in each sport – and FSU has shied away from confrontation like that, at least “in conference”. You might recall that when they DID seek out a conference, back in the early 90′s, they purposely chose the ACC because it offered absolutely NO resistance in anything but basketball; -a sport FSU could have cared less about back then! BUT!, times, they do-a-change, and maybe the testicles in Tallahassee have finally dropped?..Maybe they ARE ready to compete in every sport and at a high level!?? So, the question to those in charge at FSU is: “Do you FINALLY possess enough nuts to join a fully functioning conference, or is your vagina STILL telling you to pass!?
Some young-buck FSU fans will note that FSU ranked in the top 5 (in Football) for a record 15 YEARS!…..Ah, but that was in the ACC! Also recall that they “only” won 2 natty’s as a result of those 15 straight top 5 finishes! Why do you think that was?….That’s right, cup-cake scheduling!; – a’la Boise State.
When you only PLAY one tough game a year, its not as demanding as playing in a conference that generally has MORE ranked teams than any other conference (check current Football Polls)….The same conference that owns 9 Football Titles in the past 18 seasons, by FIVE different teams! (Florida 3, Bammer 2, LSU 2, Tennessee 1, Auburn 1)??…Still wonder why TAMU petitioned?
So, Maybe VTech (but I hope not) and “maybe” FSU, or Clemson?..Who else?….Pitt?….Jawja Tech?…UCF,…USF?….UC (another of my hopefuls)?…..There are a lot of hopefuls, but “how many” and “who is the best” (fit) still are questions?
Its not easy to compliment THE established SEC teams, and TAMU, -admittedly. The only thing Notre Dame has is a rabid (and mostly un-demanding) fan base. They throw out token efforts in Football and Basketball, but suck butt in everything else. Still, in the long-term of things, with Texas moving to the Big10-12 or the Pac12-16, it might be worth a look?….It might at least make economic sense to throw a feeler out to ND!??….Of course, even the ND brass know they’d NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!…win any SEC Title…so, very unlikely they’ll even return the phone call!…hahahahahahaha!
Need plans for this Weekend? Not anymore!

The winner will be named and “awarded” by “us” without any legal authorization or binding commitment to anyone! This is a non-obligatory proposal, and has no connection to the good people at Vinoklet….There, that should take care of the legal shit!

“Big Game” game this week #1: An SEC/Big10-12 match-up in “Nappy Valley”, Pennsylvania. #2 (ranked) Alabama visits “The Beeeev” to play Joe-Boo’z #20 ranked Nappy-Lions!
I’m gonna break with traditional Big10/12 bashing for a game, and say I think this game “could” be close! Alabama did a terrific job against lowly Kent State last week, holding them to (-9) yards rushing. “Golden QB” Spencer Keith (and the RB’s) had more face-to-face encounter’s with the uber-talented ‘Bammer linebackers than he generally does with his girlfriend(s)!…ok, or boyfriend(s), (got to be “pc” you know!). On the other sideline, Bammer didn’t get a whole lot out of AJ McCarron or Phil Sims’ kid…(Phil Jr); – The 2-headed QB monster had a Saban-enraging 1 TD pass and 4 INT’s between them. The C-Tide got a lot of production from their ground game and that amazingly strong (yes, again) defense, so!…-They didn’t NEED much out of the QB’s, still, it could be a factor if Pa-Joe (yes, I know) and the Lions can make it tough in between the Tackles. The Raging Saban’s will leave with the win, but I dont think its gonna be as easy at some are predicting, and wouldn’t be surprised if it goes to the Saban-shouting Half, darn close. Of course, knowing what is possible you can’t rule out a thorough ass-whoop by the half either -I just suspect that that wont be the case: Bammer 31 – PenniStateU 12.
“Big Game” game of this week #2: USF’s bitches (ND), vs UMichy. This one will be played at The Big House, aka: The Horseshoe North! Yeah, The Bucks own it of late!
WHAT in the name of Lisp’n Lou Holtz was going on in South Bend last weekend!?!?….Rain, turnovers, Brian “Asshat” Kelly screaming at his fundamentally un-sound wide receiver (#7) TJ Jones, and gut-wrenching penalties? Michigan will KILL them, right?…..Nah!
A little reality, on the loss; Notre Dame DID turnover the ball, a lot! - 5 times in fact!…THREE times in or in front of the end zone, negating prime scoring opp’s and (on the first one) handing “Da Bullssshh” a TD (via a big return). The Irish put up a Kelly-esque 500+ yards of offense, though some was in classic Jimmy Clausen fashion, when they HAD to throw. Add in 8 penalties (unlike a Kelly team) and you have a formula for destruction by even the best teams! Hats off to USF though,….-Traveling to South Bend, dealing with their own limited QB, riding out the “storm)s)”, contending with a rabid fan base, and dealing with their own early season jitters! After all, they DID win the game -and, they were able to score when they needed to. They also got the stops on defense when it mattered!
Will The Wolverines find the Irish as hapless? Chances are “NO!”, but kinda! Michy will win this one, sending Brian “PurpleHelmet-Face” Kelly back home at 0-2. Why will Michy win?…-For one they have a supremely talented QB, an upgraded offense from what he Bulls have right now, and “two” because they’ll sorta tie explosive ND wr Mikey Floyd up! No, not like Doc does with his “sheep” friends, but in the figurative sense.
USF probably has more team speed than UMichy, but they left Floyd free to roam because USF has no lock-down corner anymore; – at least no one in the mold of Mike Jenkins (2008 draft class) or Jerome Murphy (2010). Michigan should be able to limit his impact a bit more, but they cannot shut him down!
ND QB Tommy Rees will not be the “Amazing Grace” he was late last week, and my bet is Duh-Duh-Dayne Crist will play some in the 2nd half -out of need! Floyd will not find the pickin’z so easy in Michigan this weekend, but he’ll have a big game; – it just wont be enough to win. He will find the end zone (once) and might have some nfl mouth watering stats, but it wont = a win! Brady Hoke makes his “first” big-ish game a memorable one, winning 41-38 in yet another classic ND/UM match-up. The chants for OSU blood will echo well into the dinner hour, in Ann Arbor…..much to the laughter of buck-nut fans.
THE BIGGEST THING THAT WONT HAPPEN this weekend: #1 Oklahoma will NOT play, in advance of their show-down at Booby Bowden Field (in Tallahassee, FL) on Sept. 17th……The 2nd biggest thing that wont happen, Boise State will also ‘not” play this weekend, in front of their daring match-up with Toledo on Friday night (09.16.11) 6 days after the Rockets play Ohio State! yeah, imagine you’re Toledo, preparing for OSU, then on a short week you get BSU! FUN!
Other notable game this week(end): Oklahomo State/Arizona (thur), South Carolina/Georgia, Missy State/Auburn, Mizzu/Arizona St, TCU/Air Force and Texas/BYU!!…..Dont forget the VINOKLET Art & Wine Festival is this weekend too!….11069 Colerain Ave, Cinti, OH 45252 if you have to gps it!
PAC12 on life-support already?
The News of the PAC12′s demise was GREATLY detailed, here:
Thanks for playing, Pac-12. We’ll see you next year.
The Pac-12’s signature team can not lose to the SEC on the biggest stage in the opening game of the year.
In 2011, with the SEC owning the world, Oregon’s performance and the loss to LSU signaled the end of the Pac-12 season when it comes to anything more than watching highlights of Andrew Luck. Oregon gave the fans of the other BCS leagues a reason to tune-out the Pac-12, and
they’ll be more than happy to do so.It’s not fair, and it’s not right, but if a league’s top team doesn’t win its big game against the SEC, the league simply doesn’t matter anymore on a national scale. Feel free to disagree, and
then be sure to take note of what percentage of time and energy is spent over the next three months discussing Boise State.Oh sure, Stanford will be strong behind The Architect, who might be the signature player of the 2011 season, but find anyone outside of Palo Alto who believes this is a team that
can run the table.Arizona State is loaded with veterans, Arizona played well in its opener, and California was terrific against Fresno State, but it doesn’t matter. Oregon lost to LSU, and that’s it.
Stanford or Oregon will most likely play in the Rose Bowl, and both teams are good enough to beat anyone the Big Ten flies in, but going to Pasadena isn’t the same as going to
New Orleans with everything on the line.The Ducks will be outstanding throughout the rest of the season, but with losses in the last four really, really big games – Boise State in the 2009 opener, the 2010 Rose Bowl against
Ohio State, the 2011 BCS Championship to Auburn, and the 2011 opener against LSU
– there’s little to no chance of selling the college football world on giving them a shot at the national title this year.With the loss on Saturday night, combined with UCLA’s toe-stubbing performance against Houston, USC’s struggle at home against Minnesota, Washington’s close call against Eastern Washington, Oregon State’s embarrassment against Sacramento State, and Colorado’s loss at Hawaii, the conference took a major PR hit that won’t turn around.
There’s no such thing as an East Coast bias; there’s just a regional ignorance.
That about sums it up!…Thanks CollegeFootballnews.com guys!…PAC12′ers will cry foul, or,..maybe just cry!?…but, they had a chance to prove themselves, just failed!….again!
