Chachi's Monday Ramblings

I might make this a regular thing barring hang overs, lazy days, and any other excuses I decide to make up.

• During the Masters Sunday they showed some flashback photos of Mickelson and how skinny he used to be. Everybody talks about how he's lost weight, but in my book he'll always be Fat Boy Phil. Hey, everybody needs a nickname. I also want to say that it's impressive that Phil no longer has that petrified look on his face during the final rounds of majors anymore.
• Speaking of the Masters, how many people were really rooting for Phil over Freddie and Tiger. Honestly, maybe 25% of golf fans. I think Phil could win the Grand Slam and still not win any popularity contests. It begs the question, why don't as many people like him? The Pillsbury Dough Boy is fat, and everybody loves him.
• It was just released that none of the Duke players DNA matched the DNA on or "in" the victim. This means one of two things to me: These lacrosse players are arrogant jerks, but not rapist, or, these guys didn't rape her but someone else at their party did, which still means they have some connection to it. Regardless, if these guys were all innnocent and nothing actually happened, someone's going to owe them an apology and a season. By all accounts though most of these guys are dickheads anyway so I'm not going to feel that sorry for them.
• Peerless Price re-signed with Buffalo today making it a full circle for his career. Why is this news? Has this guy even been a factor on a team in the last 3 years? Is SI, who had a link to this story on its main page, actively egging fantasy football players on to try and get them to draft him one more time only to have him ruin a team? (Can you tell I drafted him a couple years ago?)
• Who is this guy playing third for the Tribe and what did he do with Aaron Boone?
• I am exceedingly happy the Tigers finally lost a game. Good for them for coming out strong, but I know too many Tiger fans and I could not bear to hear from all of them if they started the first two weeks undefeated. (Yes, I'm looking in your direction Denny)
  
• On a similar note, Go Brewers! Good for them and their Selig free organisation.
  
• I know it's early, but the Yankees have me a bit worried. 15 runs in game 1, 10 runs in games 2-5 combined, and then 10 runs in game 6. The whole team might be manic-depressive.
• God bless Time Warner and their free MLB Extra Innings preview. It's like Christmas in April.
• No offense to Florida or UCLA, but could anybody have cared less about the NCAA title game. I can't remember a major championship event I could have cared less about. I can't even explain why, I just really didn't care who won or lost. The only fun thing for me was comparing Noah to a troll doll every time he was on the screen. Take a long look at him, you'll see it.
• Apparently there was an in ring brawl during the Judah-Mayweather fight in Vegas. How did I not hear about this till I checked BadJocks.com. (check out BadJocks for video of the brawl) Has boxing become so irrelevent that even the crazy stuff that happens doesn't make ESPN? The answer, of course, is yes!
• In what might be the greatest video ever, someone did a re-enactment of game 6 of the '86 World Series using the video game RBI Baseball and the actual audio from the broadcast of the game. Check it out here. Sorry Shark.
  
• And finally, under NO cricumstance will I watch a tv show produced by Barry Bonds about Barry Bonds with total editorial control held by Barry Bonds. Come on, does he really think we're stupid enough to think that's the "real" him when he can cut out whatever he doesn't like. Please! At this point only the people in San Francisco believe he's not an arrogant, self-centered, drug using asshole and I have a theory on that too. I think it's just because if all the bad stuff turns out to be true they will all have to face the fact that they rooted for, and most likely viciously defended to there friends, a piece of shit. Nobody wants to deal with that.
