Today The Girls are coming to you live from The Leadership Institute, where
the halls are quiet…Bud Selig, David Stern, Gary Bettman and Roger Goodell
must not have paid their tuition on time. We can understand how it might be
hard to run, say, a multi-national pharmaceutical company or an under-funded
inner-city high school, but a sporting league? The only thing hard about
that is building consensus, being decisive and using common sense. Oh, now
we get it… One league is on pace to lose 400 million dollars this year,
another will be dodging federal investigators until the end of days, one
thinks it’s Starbucks, and the other prefers rules that are so confusing and
circular that, when changed, they end up right back where they started.
Thank Lombardi we have the combine. Okay, it’s a stretch, but it’s a start.
And looking for a fresh start at the combine was one super-focused Myron
Rolle. He of Oxford fame. And we don’t mean Mississippi. The safety out
of Florida State has really created quite a concern among the scouts. Why,
how ever will he focus? He doesn’t know WHAT he wants to be…scholar,
professional football player, neurosurgeon, keeper of the free world! We
say take him and then set him free on the rule book to make it all make
sense. Unlike the proposed overtime rule…to be used only in the playoffs.
This is reason #148 why we firmly believe contracts and rules are created
after substantial drinking. We’ve even added a new liquor to the list of
those that catering must have on hand for these type of events. You’ll have
to listen in to this week’s sports podcast to find out what it is. Hell
hath no fury like a women scorned or John Daly pissed. As in mad. Need
proof? Check the cell phone bill of the journalist who made really public
the list of Daly’s PGA infractions. In our opinion he is now more
mysterious, more endearing and even higher up on our list of guys we want to
have a beer with. But we recognize that’s just us. The Olympics closed in
grand fashion, and our coverage of it is equally as grand. From William
Shatner to the mime to the…oh, please…just scrap the Opening and Closing
ceremonies and give us a simple athlete parade. Seriously, Greece is
bankrupt. Why not cut costs and give them the leftover cash? We plead with
Russia and England to break the mold, lose the producer and see how much you
can pull off for 1 million euros and some arts and crafts. But be sure you
take care of those pesky curses! We wrap up with a trip to Spring Training
where we blow 0,000, visit our Rookie Look before he gets sent to the
minors…for further training…, and barely graze the NBA. It deserves
nothing more at this juncture. But what does deserve our attention is this
week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID: MENSA must be squeaky clean. So grab your IQ,
your 40-yard dash and your dancing partner…it’s time to talk sports with
The Girls!
