Aww Fuck It, Turn Rennie Loose...

Given the recent trend of "gamesmanship" between Urban Meyers and Mark Richt during the World's Largest Cocktail Party:

1. 2 seasons ago, there was the "Celebration"
2. Last season, Urban calling timeouts to rub in the 49-10 thumping

My prediction this year, is the stakes will be upped quite significantly...

We all know of Rennie Curran's Nigerian background. We all see his genetically predisposed ability to chase opposing rb/qb's down as if they were the mighty gazelle on the Serengeti. This season, I think Coach Richt will allow Rennie to, let's say, get in touch with his heritage to one-up Coach Urban Meyers with the newest installment of the "Blackout"...





Florida fans, I know this doesn't bode well for you, or your team for that matter. You can thank Mark Schlabach of ESPN for the motivation behind this. Schlabach suggests that UGA shouldn't even show up for the game. I tell you one thing. I will be front and center to watch "the hunt", if you will... Desperate times call for desperate measures. I wonder if Tebow can lead his team to victory with a spear sticking out of his ass? That, in itself, would be a defining heisman moment.

Me No Take a Rosetta Stone

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but as promised, I have a couple of observations from the David Ortiz press conference yesterday. No, its not about the fact that he of course denies everything. Although, admitting that he was reckless in buying over-the-counter supplements and vitamins. I am not fooled by these guys. They know what substances are not allowed. They know what supplements have these substances in them. They know they aren't supposed to be taking this stuff. What I am surprised to see is how he doesn't know how to speak f***ing english. Now, I have a 4 year old who can speak english just fine. Why can't Ortiz speak english when he has been here for 15 some-odd years???? Don't they have some kind of supplement that he can "recklessly" buy to help him with that? He will of course get a pass because he is a likeable guy, but we here at Gherkin's Place don't offer free passes. What we will offer is a free link:

P.S- When is Peter Gammons going to make the "transition"???

Thaaats Gonna Leave a Mark

Now, I am not referring to Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino, who fought and won earlier in the night. I want to talk about Anderson "The Spider" Silva. For those of you who didn't watch UFC 101, take a gander at this.....

Now, there have been a couple of boxers that have explored the possibility of moving over to MMA, but this dude will definitely make you think twice about that idea. This best word to describe a beat down like this, is efficient. Silva threw maybe 20 punches total in the fight, and every one of them is gonna leave a mark. Just ask Griffin. Oh, wait, all he could do after the fight was run straight to his dressing room. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. A move I am anxious to see how fans respond to. If you are going to get your ass kicked, at least do it with some amount of dignity. I like Griffin, but not sticking around to at least congratulate Silva on a surgical thumping, is extremely low budget. Again, take it like a man. On the flip side, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't remember any of the fight after the first 1:30...

Here Comes the Next Contestant

While I will hold off on commenting on "Big Poppi" (at least we know where he got the "big" from...) because he contends that he doesn't know what he tested positive for. Which I don't know if that is a good thing, or if it is because there may be a laundry list of stuff he could test positive for.

Today, I will comment on Reshard Lewis, who says the astronomical levels of testosterone wound up in his system from eating Flintstones vitamins. No, wait a minute, it was from his Wheaties... Hell, I can't keep up anymore. You might as well say "I wouldn't have ripped that enormous line had I known it was on the banned substance list."

Not that I really give a flying turd about Reshard Lewis, or basketball in general. I just wish someone would clue these athletes in to the fact that we weren't born yesterday...
