Last week, I started a look back at the week in sports (with a bit of a sarcastic tone) in a weekly segment titled, “Seriously?” This is my version of the Meyers and Poehler segment called “Really!?!” on SNL’s Weekend Update. This past week was a weird one to say the least.
Seriously, Brett Favre. Was it your text messages? Was it a jumpy media itching to write your professional obituary, again? Was it you wanting to see your career highlights on a loop every half hour on ESPN News? Who knew that Brett Favre the tough guy, gunslinger would grow up to be such a diva?
Seriously, Rich Rodriguez how many investigations can you be at the center of? First, the University of Michigan now West Virginia University, what’s next a new series on CBS, maybe CSI Rodriguez?
Okay so Tiger Woods finished 18 strokes over par this weekend at the Bridgestone in Akron, OH. This is an event that El Tigre has dominated over the years. Seriously? Did you see the highlights? I know I can hit some of those shots; I’m positive that I can go bunker to bunker and then over shoot the green. How much you want to bet that a third of the “golf experts” will still pick Tiger to win the PGA Championship this weekend. I think he needs to be admitted into a residential golf rehab program.
Brian Cushing, Houston Texans linebacker and last year’s Defensive Rookie of the Year, now says that his failed drug test (PEDs) was because of “overtraining.” Seriously? What’s he going to tell us next? It’s not us, it’s him but don’t worry he still wants to be friends? There is apparently science behind his excuse but there is also science involved in “my dog ate my homework.” This is a guy who has had whispers of PEDs follow him from high school in New Jersey to USC to the draft combine and to the NFL. So we’ll buy the “overtraining excuse” when Isiah Thomas returns to the New York Knicks.
Oh, crap. Apparently, Isiah Thomas has been hired as a part-time consultant for the New York Knicks so obviously hell has frozen over. Seriously? What’s next FEMA is going to hire Mike Brown to consult? Is Al Davis going to hire Lane Kiffin back? What is Thomas going to consult on anyway? Sexual harassment? Signing marginal players to long term contracts? How to effective destroy an NBA Franchise? Seriously, now someone is going to tell me that Albert Haynesworth passed his conditioning test…
What? Is this the Twilight Zone? Albert Haynesworth passed his conditioning test? Seriously? Do you get the feeling that this was one of those “wink, wink, nod, nod” deals? Still it took ten days for a “professional athlete” to pass a relatively easy, routine conditioning test. Isn’t it funny that his ineptitude and complete lack of work ethic became the major story of the first week of training camps?
Seriously, the Rick Pitino story wins the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Award for the week. Am I the only on looking forward to the Louisville Cardinals running a 15 second offense this season?
One of the funnier stories this week was that the Los Angeles Clippers and their former coach, Mike Dunleavy, were suing each other for fraud. Seriously? The Clippers and Dunleavy are both frauds one for impersonating a NBA franchise and the other for impersonating a NBA coach. The judge should throw the case out as both have inflicted enough damages on the fans.

Is it me or does Tim Tebow’s new haircut (by the way its veteran approved) looks like old school San Diego Padre’s Swinging Friar logo?
J.P Arencibia, rookie catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, had an historic debut this weekend. He took the first major league pitch he saw and went yard. His next three at-bats were a double, a single, and another homer.
