CRAZY HORSE

Things just swimming about this fine Saturday... The brouhaha in the Big Apple ...as a curious reporter (female) asked Mark Sanchez an important question, leading with "Tim"...not that there is a problem brewing in the Jet's camp... Madonna , our fav, triggered a mild uproar in Paris, France...deciding to cut short her awesome concert after just 45 minutes...I'm sure I heard the roar down here in the GQ...such a sweetheart... Two of the Pad's newbies, are from Cuba....and SD is playing in Miami this weekend...and each of 'em had big hits to propel the Pads to a win...cool stuff...Grandal and Alonso... As the country is sweltering in a huge heat up... the NFL is starting their camps...huge guys going hard...and I hope the new wave of coaching is going on...plenty of water and rests...old school is so dead... The Olympics ...my picks are the hoops and the track stuff...the rest are mildly interesting...to me...as a lot of you have other things...it...

Do you know this guy?  He is the leader of the tiny country that has been giving us fits for 50 years... now that we are celebrating the 50 Year Reunion of the Beach Boys ...we can also look at what was happening back in that time...as our Prez, JFK , was just taking power...and one of his campaign commitments was to the "mafia of Chicago"...who just happened to lose their prized casinos in Havana...and promised to get us back into Cuba...and the "Bay of Pigs" happened....where our CIA backed group of Cubans invaded their own homeland...and needed air support from the US....and JFK didn't do it...and this guy's brother established himself as the leader of Central American Communism...I believe this was the beginning of the fall of our Prez...anyway, this is Raul Castro ...who just now has announced that he wants to begin talks with the US of A to end all the embargoes and restart communications...it's about time... This beisbol trading deadline ...it...

Got to see the USA / Spain game...and it was funnish...I mean that the speed of the Americans is wonderful... BUT ...the power game of the home team was very evident and they were missing one of their guys, Marc Gasol...this very well could be the final two teams for the gold...watch out for Argentina...am getting a much better feel for LeBron ...he is developing into the star of stars... The agony of the Jacksons ...this internal fight over who governs them and where the MJ kids are living ...it's all about the money...what?...isn't that the case in way too many situations?...nevertheless. the tabloids love this... Idol talk...have to admit I liked JLo as the judge of judges...and she has decided to move on...and her replacement is Mariah ...well, I'm not sure...she is a handful...but could be a good one, too...just have to wait and watch.. . like it doesn't take a genius to be one ...see Simon...or Paula ...it's the personality and how they coach the youn...

Or the nature of it...the declining years of the super stars in pro sports...the latest?... the Mariner's own, Ichiro Suzuki ...I'm talking the trading of 'em for prospects...by the way, I hate prospects as a tag...anyway, Ichiro moved to the opponents dressing room in Seattle and became a Yankee ...good for him, I suppose... I am trying to figure out the fall out of the NCAA sanctions on the Penn St. football program ...agree with most of it...but, the penalizing of the players that had nothing to do with the debacle...that is tough for me...wonder if there is going to be a lawsuit to fight the sanctions?... I was talking to a younger bloke, than me, and he was spouting off about the best music years ...late 60's and early 70's...he lurved the Doors, the Beatles, CSNY, and others...needless to say, I was agreeing...the stuff out now is hard to listen to...or, just what is it?... Did you know all the changes in golf equipment are in 4 year cycles?...that j...

Like a fox...this act that the Colorado killer put on in the court...he knows what he's doing...he's planned on all this for months...fake like he's out of it...plead the insanity defense...don't buy it one bit...do away with this ugly piece of humanity... Keeping in this frame of mind...what the NCAA levied on the Penn St. University football program ...$60 million fine...the money goes where?...allowing all present day players to transfer and play immediately elsewhere...forfeit all wins from '98-'11...4 year ban on post season...pretty much knocks them out of the game for a good long while... OK....back to more pleasant items... The Pads signed local product and power hitter Carlos Quentin, for 3 years... Ernie deserved the Open Crown... I hit the pick 5 yesterday!... SD heads to SF and are underdogs, again...but, watch out Giants... This is a better team now... I prefer 70* weather to 80*+ heat... The Bachelorette picked the right guy... Bu...

BREAKING NEWS:  Ernie Els came from nowhere and won the Open...as Adam Scott bogied the last 4 holes to give Els the opportunity to garner the crown... Them blokes are all falling apart... the British Open ...even the probable winner, Adam Scott ...the pothole bunkers are the nemesis...and Tiger's old caddie has the last laugh... Stevie , as he was affectionately called by his former employer...OK, the Aussie should cruise on in for the first major for him...I still hate the belly putter, or that chin putter he uses... I finally got to play yesterday ...leg was OK...actually had some good shots, but was very rusty...and the heat, my God, the heat...95 or something like that...just like my score...and I had to birdie the last for it...ha ha...it did feel good... The Pads got beat in OT...had a great shot at winning in the bottom of the 9th...runners on 1st and 2nd, with one out...pinch hitter Kotsay hits a liner to right and is celebrating as he goes to 1st...and another...
