8/8: Olympic Kickoff, NFL Preseason

Well the lead story has to be the Olympic opening tonight.....
  • Yes, it is 8/8/08 and that means the worst day of the Olympics! lol...the opening ceremonies are on tonight on NBC....tune in? ehhhh maybe...On a SERIOUS note....I don't know much about the protests and I won't pretend to...but from a pure physical standpoint...how can you expect world-class athletes to perform when the air pollution is so bad that people wear masks just walking around? That seems highly ridiculous to me....
  • NFL Preseason action: 1st of all I really can't stand the whole preseason process but hey...it's on....Caleb Hanie (who?) looked good for Chicago....can somebody comment this blog if they remember who got laughed off the set of Around the Horn for pimping Caleb Hanie? Maybe it was Mariotti....I digress....Chris Williams (the Bears #1 overall pick) had major surgery and no timetable on a return....yikes....if you're Chad Pennington...I push really hard for Miami or Minnesota....he starts immediately both of those places doesn't he?
  • Cornelius Ingram (Florida) out for the year.....the first thing that struck me on the bottom line was....wait, he's a tight end? Good god....if he's a tight end, he's Antonio Gates...but I'm thinking he, at least, used to play receiver....A significant blow to the Gators....but they have plenty of talent on the outside
  • A little NBA....Jason Williams signs with the Clippers...to backup Baron....man, they have alot of people....and alot of head cases.....Tim Thomas, Ricky Davis, Jason Williams....on the same team....
  • MLB: Johan Santana can't catch a break...the Mets win again....and they blow another lead for him in the process....hilarious....he has at least 6 or 7 of these this year....Mike Mussina has HOW many wins? (Fifteen).....Cito Gaston re-ups for the 2009 season with the Blue Jays....I still think it's funny that he's managing them again....is it 1993?....I found it interesting that the world-famous David Wright had never hit a walk-off HR til last night....weird

Enjoy your day...
