It has been about two weeks since i last blogged. A lot has happened in the world of sports and I hope to talk about everything. The Olympics are over and I have to say i watched only three events. I watched the women's ice skating because one of my friends did a documentary on the woman who won the gold. So i am excited for him and hopefully this will open doors for his career. I watched hockey and learned why I prefer Olympics over the NHL. Fighting is boring and i think that the NHL needs to ban it so we can see the true artistry of the game. The other event I watched was curling and I have to say that I really don't know why that is a sport. Speed skating is a crazy sport when they all get bunched up and I enjoyed watching the relays. I am proud that America won the most medals and happy that Canada won the most gold medals. The winter Olympics is geared for people who love the wild and outdoors so i am glad that the host country represented themselves well. We should won both hockey matches but in Russia we will get out revenge. I am happy for Bode Miller and Apollo Anton Ono. Lindsey Vonn we will never know how great this Olympics could have been for you. So onwards and upwards.....
The Oscars' happened last night and can you believe that they forgot Farrah Fawcett in the memoriam section? They put Britney Murphy up twice. Same with David Carradine and Dom Deluise. Even Micheal Jackson got recognized. Very strange. I watched the Hurt Locker and thought that the message of the movie was better than the movie. I look forward to seeing the other pictures. I met Sandra Bullock and danced with her at a club once. She was cool so I am glad she won. I met Mo'nique at a club once and she gave me her drink to put down because she was walking out the club with the drink. She came to apologize for giving me the drink and tipped me 20 bucks...
The sports Illustrated swimsuit edition came out during my recess and I have to tell you that the issue is getting tackier every year. Brooklyn Decker is a pretty girl but some of the other girls in the issue leave me wondering they were selected. I only saw about five pages of it so I can not comment on what I did not see. I think that people who are offended by the magazine have reason to be offended. I do think that the magazine is pushing the line between taste and tasteless. I think that Victoria Secret is a better option. At least we know what they are trying to sell.
Tiger Woods gave a press conference and I could not believe the reaction by certain media. He does not owe us anything. He just needs to get back to playing golf and working on his marriage. He needs no advice from me or anyone who is not qualified to offer him advice. Just play golf and win some tournaments and the public will embrace you even more. The crazy porn lady who has hired Gloria Allred need therapy. I cannot believe that she hired a high profile attorney. What did she think she would get out of this situation. What can she sue Tiger Woods for? Crazy world we live in. Ernie Els needs to shut his trap too.
The NBA is in their final push for the playoffs and I am tired of hearing about Kobe Bryant being better than Micheal Jordan. He makes game winning shots against bad teams and he is the greatest player in the world. Phil Jackson needs to nip this all in the butt. Micheal Jordan did not play badly against bad teams and have to make miraculous shots to win games. The Bulls rolled everyone they played and beat the teams that they were supposed to beat. I won a lot of money betting on the Bulls. The Lakers are a weird team. They look like world beaters one night and then the next night they can't beat Milwaukee. The Celtics are old. They have one more run in them. We shall see. Lebron better seize the moment...I do have one question to ask all of the Kobe lovers.. could Kobe Bryant retire from basketball now and come back and win three titles in a row after taking a year and a half off? If you believe he can then he is better than Jordan.
Spring Training is underway.. The Mess I mean the Mets are a mess already.
I am the coach of St. Genevieve High School's baseball team. We need work. We will get ready and we will succeed... First game March 12th... check us out
I dont think the people who are offended by Sports Illustrated are offended because there are (in your opinion) less 'pretty' girls in it year after year. I think they are offended because it is not demonstrating real sport, it is tits and ass sport...assuming that all people into sports are also interested in drooling over young women in bikinis and less. That all men are animals who see sports and sex as the same blurred line and degrading women as merely 'wank worthy' material. It is not selling bikinis, it is not aimed at women, it is designed for pervy men looking to jack off even though they could get more for their buck with Playboy! It is a socially accepted magazine that pretends to "celebrate the female form" when in actual fact they are illustrating women as nothing more than sex objects for mens pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMost people however, probably are not offended because they have been bought up to believe that all women are good for is taking off their clothes. It is more likely to be women in fact, who defend this issue of SI. After all, women cannot be exploited when they are exploiting themselves. SI swimwear issue, Hooters, cheerleaders, Card Girls, Girls gone Wild and all the other (half dressed for mens arousal) "girls" take WOMEN right back to pre-equality times. They are dishonest teases. If they wanna take their clothes off, take them ALL off for Playboy or at a strip club... finish the job!
It is offensive having this magazine near our children, teaching our daughters the best they can do in life is turn men on as sex toys. Teaching our sons that women are nothing more than @*$#s!
They are not even rich and famous for doing it....Christ, at least Pam Anderson became a Millionaire because dirty perverted men wanted to see her naked...all the aforementioned just line MENS pockets and not their own! The CEO of Hooters, Hugh Hefner, CEO of SI, Joe Francis etc, etc, must be LOVING this preposterous idea of FEMINISM!
Even talking about it makes me want to vomit.
