Job Opening: Copy Editor

Clearly after reading this Pete Prisco blog on CBSSports.com, it's painfully obvious the website is in dire need of a copy editor.

How many typos/grammatical errors can you find in this blog entry? I found six.

***I coped and pasted this from the website.

Receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh went on the defensive recently agianst the tide of negative thinking against him as a perpective free agent.

Houshmandzadeh told Benals.com that he would show all the doubters that he was a much better player than many expected. He aslo said he was 31, but had a body of a 27-year-old.

I am one of those doubters. The Seahawks are not.

Seattle signed Houshmandzadeh to a five-year, $40 million deal with $15 million in guaranteed money. That's No. 1 receiver money, and thus lies the problem.

Can you No. 1 receiver be a guy who averaged 9.8 yards per catch last season? I think not. Seattle paid a lot of money for a No. 2 receiver.

Sorry, T.J. That's what you are.

That's why I still think the Seahawks will take a close look at Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree in the first round of the draft with the fourth overall pick. He would be the No. 1 and Houshmandzadeh the No. 2.

The Seahawks better hope this isn't a case of a second receiver on one team not living up to the hype on another. We've seen that before from the likes of Alvin Harper and others.

The truth hurts players. That's why T.J. went on the defensive. At least now he can do it with a fat paycheck.

Bye Bye Emmitt

So the suits at ESPN have decided that NFL all-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith will not return for a third season as an NFL analyst.

Maybe this will be a lesson for any television executive who thinks that just because you decide to bring in an A-Level athlete, he/she will work out. How many times have we seen NFL legends try a second career in television and fail? Hmmm...Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, George Seifert to name a few...

Add the former Cowboy great to that list.

Have any of you ever listend to Emmitt speak? Seriously. Take a listen and decide for yourself.

Nobody Is Safe....

Not even mascots....How bad is it for the Milwaukee Bucks? Well, their top two players Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut are on the injured list.

Well, add Bango to that list.....With a torn ACL.

Fashion Thoughts From The Bald Guy

The bald guy has a confession to make - I have been known to look pretty fu**ing handsome at times - especially when it comes to wearing nice threads. When I am not sporting the jeans and t-shirt, Maxer does like to don a nice shirt and tie.

And having worked at a Gap for a number of months (thanks to my sister Julie for hooking me up), I know what's in - and what isn't.

Ladies and gentlemen, an example of what should be burned and buried.

Mistakes In Telelvision.....

The bald guy used to work in telvision, so he always has his eyes and ears open. This may be the most embarrassing mistake I have ever seen on a newscast.

Farewell To Bush....

Looking at these clips, I kind of miss the guy already.

Cheaters Never Win...

An oldie but goodie. I absolutely love this clip.
