Sports rant...

Baseball:
The Detroit Tigers season ended today, as i think all the fans knew it would about mid-August. Although i was secretly holding out hope for a Yankees collapse to the very end.
I think the Tigers were fantastic this year. Granderson and Maggs were amazing. I don't think you can ask for more of any baseball team than to be in the hunt going into September, and they were. It was fantastic.
Regarding the Mets historic collapse: I'd rather a surging Phillies team makes the playoffs than a faltering Mets team. Both you and Detroit have a lot of work to do. So, buck up and start planning for next year. The Phillies deserved it.

Futbol:
I think twenty five years ago or so Chris Berman or John Madden probably made some fart joke, and thus the marriage of sports commentary and analysis and comedy was conceived in some monstrous shot gun wedding. Next thing you know Chris Berman's got stupid nicknames for everyone and can currently be found publicly blowing Brett Favre on ESPN. Pre-game shows are an hour long, and they've taken to getting tubby comedians to augment the cutting wit that is Terry Bradshaw. Holy fuck. Count me out.
There is no reason for any of this horse shit. You have 13 NFL games (14 if you count Monday night) to break down and analyze. Cut your shit to half an hour and give me a rundown without your bullshit. Real analysis. Less blowing Brett Favre, more telling me about the Bears decimated secondary. Fuck you guys.
For the record: the Lions have three wins after four games. But they have yet to have an impressive win. They don't have everything clicking and their defense is sub-par. I've said five wins this year. I'll stand by that.

Sports nerdery has ended. Continue surfing for pictures of that chick from the Disney thing who was nude. Or something.
