So I was reading this great post on Tasting Table (good food blog - you should check it out), and it spawned a four person email ping pong match of Hill-related images. So, a.) I wanted to make sure that people knew about Hill Country’s delicious BBQ and their sweet em effin’ special that is going on (now until whenever this depression ends, I suppose) and b.) the Hill images sort of pull it all together (gallery inquiries should be sent to the VanBaugh institute).
The US National Soccer team defeated Mexico 2-0 last night!!!
After the match, US midfielder Frankie Hejduk was slapped in the face by an assistant to Sven Goran Eriksson. I think this Sven character is on team Mexico, but frankly, I don’t know and don’t give a rip. His assistant is a real a–hole.
Hejduk’s response was pretty awesome: “At the end of the day, no one was hurt. There was a little love tap and that was it. I still have my face. No damage done. It was fun. That’s just how emotional this game is and that’s how passionate they are about their sport. It was none of their players - I want to make that clear to everyone.”
Team USA travels to El Salvador for the second game in this final round of qualifiers on March 28th.
Here are some sports highlights that have occurred over the last week or so…and that, in this sports fan’s opinion, aren’t worth a full story in and of themselves. (At least not on The Menternet)
Brett Farve Retires, Again. Signaling six more weeks of winter. From jsonline!
Lady Vols Coach, Pat Summitt, gets win 1000. (Yes, this is about a week old, but quite an accomplishment which I’d be remiss to leave off “The Dump”) Volunteer TV!
A-Rod admits to using Steriods [Ed. note: Wow. Shocker.] And Commissioner Bud Selig is still contemplating what to do about it [Ed. note: Wow. Shocker.] From MLB!
And while we’re on the subject of Major League Baseball, Spring Training begins this weekend. [Horraaaaayyyy!!!!! (fart noise)] From The Sporting News!
Finally, here are some scores from around sports last night: 2 to 0, 101 to 87, 63 to 49 and 69 (Whoo Hoo!!! Ed.) to 52.
I think that’s all I can muster up today, sports fans. I’m trying to decide on an official “Dump Day”. However, unlike life, I may just do the ‘Dump’ whenever I feel like it.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a huge fan of soccer. Some of my buddies love it, and I’ve started to grow to appreciate it on some level. However, I love this country and sports, and when a team representing this country competes, I get excited…no matter the sport.

Today, people all over the world are about to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, that’s 43 for you simpletons. The pundits will talk about the Cardinals offense, the Steelers defense, Larry Fitzgerald, Jr., who already has set a record for most yards by a receiver in the post season, how the Steelers are going for a record 6th Lombardi Trophy, how the Cardinals are playing in their first Super Bowl in team history. And, how the coach of the Cardinals used to be the offensive coordinator of, you guessed it, the Pittsburgh Steelers back when they won their last Super Bowl. Continue reading ‘Post from the Past: If the Cardinals win the Super Bowl, my Dad gets 2 Grand!!’
That’s right!!! A mere 7 months and 2 days (nearly to the hour) after the refs blew the final whistle on Super Bowl XLI. The 2007-08 NFL season is going to begin!!!
The Indianapolis Colts trounced the Chicago Bears 29-17 in said Super Bowl way back on February 4th. Tonight, those same Colts host the ‘new America’s Team’, New Orleans Saints, in the RCA dome at 8:30 p.m. EST. Sometime around, I’ll guess, 8:46 (kickoff is never on time) dudes from around the country will be blowing their proverbial loads (Sloan 13 and CSpoon excluded.) at the official start of the NFL season.
I, for one, can’t wait to sit on my couch, turn on NBC in HD, and raise a glass (Miller Lite or Guiness…that’ll be a game time decision.) to the opening kickoff to professional football’s season. I’m sure there will be some shitty bands opening the ceremony and at halftime, but that’s what Skinemax the mute button is for. At any rate, I’m excited.
Here’s to another outstanding season of NFL football.
An old lady buys a parrot and takes it to church. In the middle of the sermon, the parrot says, “Jesus Christ, it’s hot in here!”‘ Now, this old lady doesn’t like cursing, let alone in church, so she takes the parrot back to the pet store and explains her dilemma. The store manager says, “Look, lady, I want you to keep this parrot. Next time he swears, you have to make sure you punish him. Just take him by the feet and swing him around your head a few times.” Well, this seemed strange to the old lady; however, she had already become somewhat attached to this parrot - swearing aside - so she agreed and kept the parrot. The next time they’re in church, like clockwork, in the middle of the sermon the parrot says, “Jesus Christ, it’s hot in here.” So the lady takes him by the feet, whips him around her head a few times, and puts him back on her shoulder. The parrot shakes his head and says, “Man, it’s fucking windy too!”
Tonight marks the beginning of the College Football season. The second ranked LSU Tigers start their bid for a national title against the Mississippi St. Bulldogs in Starkville, Miss. Rutgers (#16) tries to continue it’s winning ways against the Buffalo Bulls at home in Jersey. There are 9 other games being played tonight, and of course, this Saturday will be huge as fans on campuses across the nation paint their faces, tap a few kegs, and hope this year is their school’s year to shine. (Don’t forget the NFL season starts a week from today…) And always remember to love your fellow student…
A man and a woman are sitting together on an airplane. The woman starts to chat the man up with some small talk, and then the man asks her what she does for a living. The woman responds, “I’m a research assistant and my specialty is penises.” The man appears slightly taken aback and the woman continues, “Yes, I’ve been helping research penises since college, and it’s fascinating what our studies have shown. For instance, men from Poland tend to have much longer and much more narrow sex organs than any other region in the world. Native Americans, on the other hand, tend to have very wide but slightly shorter penises than the world average. It’s all very interesting. Oh, I’m sorry, my name is Susan, what’s yours?” The man replies, “Tonto Gorzynski…”
