Douche Bag of the day...

I don't care if The Hills on MTV is as fake as Cowher's new teeth. That show is like crack and Spencer Pratt has to be the biggest DB on television right now.

I'm done with you Herbstreit!

For several years I have been a fan of Kirk Herbstreit. For those of you who are unfamiliar, he is one of the anchors on ESPN's College Gameday show. He knows the game of college football better than most, usually has an unbiased view on games and players and puts Lee Corso in his place quite frequently. Not to mention he is VERY easy on the eyes. Anyway, several weeks back Florida and Georgia played in Jacksonville. Georgia had been struggling this season so after their first TD they were instructed BEFORE THE GAME by their coach, Mark Richt to excessively celebrate in the end zone as a way to "fire them up". Actually being at the game I can tell you it was absolutely shocking to see the spectacle of the players leaving benches and the sideline to celebrate with the 11 Georgia players already on the field.

It was covered a lot in sporting news and a majority of talking heads and analysts commended Mark Richt for inspiring his team and helping them recapture their emotion about a season that had been spiraling downward. Herbstreit was one of those ready to hand Richt coach of the year honors for this "strategy". I couldn't believe that someone I thought was a rational human being could view it as anything other that a pathetic display of bad sportsmanship. If that is what Richt has to resort to to inspire his players to not give up on the season I question what kind of state their football program was in.

I bring this up because today on Gameday Herbstreit once again brought up what a tremendous job Richt has done inspiring his players to turn things around. The only people that should be commended in the situation are the Florida Gators. Had they not kept their cool and walked off the field as a disciplined football team it could have turned in to a very ugly situation in a rivalry game that needs no fuel. Without the Gators allowing the Bulldogs to freely look like asses, jokers like Herbstreit would not have had the luxury of calling bad sportsmanship and desperate coaching strategy anything other than pathetic.

Now the Bulldogs wait to see if Tennessee will punch their ticket to the SEC championship game with a loss to Vandy. Should Georgia play LSU in Atlanta next month I may do something I have never done before....cheer on the Tigers. Better dig down deep in your bag of tricks for some more inspiring ideas Mark!

So, I've fallen...

...into the trap of Grey's Anatomy. I watch Ugly Betty and was interested in checking out one of this seasons new shows, Big Shots. So for the first few weeks I left ABC on while surfing the 'net and pretty much figured out what was going on. Much like a daytime soap, tuning in is really only required about once every 6 months or so. Anyway, instead of boring you with my Thursday night TV schedule I will get to the point. I realize there are diehard Grey's fans out there. Women all over the country hosting watching parties and lunch time discussions about McDreamy and McSteamy (still haven't figured out how those monikers came about). But ladies (and you in-the-closet Grey's watching guys) I know I have only been watching a few weeks and that is about all it has taken me to figure out that Izzie SUCKS. Yes, all caps. So much for trying to break the stereotype that women are over-dramatic, sensitive, emotional time-bombs. There is nothing likeable about her character. I sleep with the emotionally unavailable resident only to discover I love my patient but he died so next resident in line please! Oh, he's married and 2 feet shorter than me....who cares! Please ABC writers, let's vote Izzie off the island. I mean....as soon as you get off those picket lines.
