Quick Hitters

We haven’t done this is a while. Let’s go back to the well for a quickie.

Bode Miller wins his second World Cup skiing title in four years.
Bode who? Is it 2010 yet? Is this the winter Olympics? No? Well, then America really doesn’t care. Check back with us in a couple years.

Billy Crystal batted leadoff for the Yankees.
I would pitch inside and hard just because this guy lost his ability to hit anything but a softball more than a decade ago.

(And by “softball” I mean he stopped being funny around 1989. Outside of Monsters, Inc, which was aimed at toddlers, ol’ Billy hasn’t produced anything worth watching since When Harry Met Sally, and I give Reiner the credit for that one. Disagree? criticize Daly here but it was Happy Hour and the beer carts run slow on the Bay Hill Club & Lodge. What’s a professional golfer (athlete, HA!) supposed to do?

Joey Harrington gets another NFL contract.
It’s sad when the Atlanta Falcons will do anything to distract fans from the Michael Vick fiasco.

Shelley Duncan doesn’t know why his slide caused a brawl on the field.
Uh, I dunno, Shell. Maybe because nobody has come in with spikes up in the air that obviously since Ty Cobb.

Alex Ovechkin continues to light up the NHL.
It’s too bad it’s only like me and three other NHL fans that appreciate Alexander the Great’s feats of prowess. Forget kid Crosby, Alex truly is the iceman cometh.

Pundits say the Cubs might be too good to miss the postseason.
Ha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 1996 was the happiest spring of my life. Mind you, I was single, unemployed and broke. Thank the lord for Harry Caray and WGN.
