Let's Get It Started

Alright let's dust the ol' blog off and get it started for the year 2010. Normally today would be a tutorial, but rather than go that route I'm going to vent about several topics
that have piqued my interest.

Mark McGwire- This really isn't much of a story, his admission to using steroids is as shocking as Bill Clinton's admission of adultery. Everybody already knew. He had already been labeled a cheater, and he has been paying the price for his past decisions receiving only about 20% of the Hall of Fame votes (after being honored as one of the greatest living players in a ceremony during the All-Star game in Boston). Give the man a break though, he made a business decision, and in reality was still better than 90% of the population at the game of baseball.



Keith Brooking- How about you stop crying and get your defense to stop Bret Farve? You're a professional, paid top dollar to do a job, so DO IT! Thank you Minnesota for playing the entire 60 minutes as the many cliches tell us to do, and not quitting when you thought the game was decided.


Spider Man- When the news that the Spider Man franchise was going to go in a new direction and not bring Tobey Maguire back to reprise his role as the coolest superhero alive. I loved each Spider Man and will see any new edition to the series, but expectations will be low because of the already decided direction Sony said they want to go. Spider Man in high-school? Does that mean Michael Cena or Zac Efron will be cast as our new web-slinger? C'mon Sony it wasn't broken, so why fix it?
