That's WAC!..... a Top Ten List.... and some Random Thoughts

Boise State finishes the season 14-0 after defeating TCU in the Fiesta Bowl last night. Yet they won't get the chance to take on the winner of Texas vs. Alabama. That's WAC! (Western Athletic Conference)

I have an idea, what if Boise State writes to the BCS and promises that if they are given one more game to decide the true national champ..... they'll agree to run a trick play once every four downs. There is nothing better than seeing the Broncos play like a Pop Warner football team and throw out all the sneaky plays. Opposing teams even know to watch out for these plays yet they still can't stop them. In the 4th quarter of last night's game, with the score notched at 10 a piece and the Broncos facing a 4th down, they decided to do the 'ol "fake-punt pass" and it worked like a charm right down the middle of the field.

So I won't be the first one to start chanting it.... and I'm sure there will be others that follow..... "ONE MORE GAME....... ONE MORE GAME....... ONE MORE GAME!!!"


TOP TEN LIST: The Top 10 Signs Americans Are Becoming Overweight
(So get out there and lose some weight in 2010, would ya?!)

10. You can now super-size a happy meal.
9. Jared Fogle (a.k.a. The Subway Sandwich Guy) has replaced Tom Brady in popularity.
8. Food Network's "Ace of Cakes" and TLC's "Cake Boss" are the 2 most watched shows in the country.
7. People believe 2 hours of Twittering a day will help burn calories.
6. Pavlov's theory of ringing a bell to make a dog salivate now works with Americans and the Ice Cream Man.
5. Dunkin' Donuts can no longer use the phrase "America Runs On Dunkin" because Americans aren't exercising at all.
4. "Extreme Make-Over Home Edition" has now been replaced by "Extreme Make-Over Weight Addition."
3. XXL is the new Medium.
2. The company "Snickers" had to change it's slogan from "Hungry? Why wait? Grab a Snickers" to "We know you're always hungry.... please only grab one."
1. The skinny kid is now the last kid picked on a dodge ball team.


Random Thoughts:

What is the team morale like of the Washington Generals who continuously get their butts handed to the by the Harlem Globetrotters?

If NFL teams have to fill a quota by interviewing a wide-range of candidates so that they don't look like they discriminate, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean the Washington Redskins (even though they are clearly leaning towards Mike Shanahan) have to interview a Black candidate, Woman candidate, Asian candidate, Gay & Lesbian candidate, Blind candidate, Deaf candidate, Mexican candidate, Amish candidate, Jewish candidate, Teenage candidate, Small Person candidate and more? The list can go on and on..... so when does the madness stop?

If Raiders' owner Al Davis ends up firing coach Tom Cable in the next few days, I wonder if Cable will then momentarily lose his mind and slug Davis in the face just like he did with other colleagues.

Does Cal Ripken Jr. ever take a day off in retirement? Is he as tough at home as he was on the ball field? Part of me wishes that when he stubs his toe around the house he'll then hop around whimpering saying things like, "Oh God why?! I can't go on! I'm cashing it in! Somebody, anybody help me!"

One of my college basketball coaches always told me that I had the basketball IQ of an ant. I'd love to actually see an ant try and play basketball.

Can we please stop calling people athletes who engage in activities like Golf, Nascar, Billiards or Bowling? These are not sports, so they should not be called athletes. These activities show that you have a skill, not that you are athletic. When you can be considered a professional golfer at the age of 50 or 60, then that means that Golf is not a sport. Sorry guys.

Can the next "Real Housewives" show please take place in Flint, Michigan? That.... I would watch.

On next year's Monday Night Football broadcasts, I would love to see one of the players say that they graduated from "The" University of Phoenix On-Line instead of "The" Ohio State University.

Why is the College World Series held in Omaha, Nebraska? They couldn't find a more exciting place to play these games?

I can't understand a word that comes out of Lou Holtz's mouth anymore. And on that topic, whose idea was it to allow Dick Clark to continue to host the New Year's Eve celebration. I'm all for giving older people still a spot to shine, especially if they are coming back from a stroke or another health set-back, but I couldn't understand a word that came out of his mouth and it was really uncomfortable listening and watching him. He looked like he was propped up on his chair and moved around like he was a puppet.

If there is a Senior PGA Tour, then how about a Senior NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL Tour? I'd actually like to watch that..... maybe just for a few minutes until the injuries became too much to handle.

Time to go play a little basketball myself!
