After writing a bit on some of the lame shit I see from day to day in my previous post, I noticed that I had indeed left a couple of items untouched.
Little League World Series. I am sure that these kids are good athletes (for their age) but 200 foot home runs don't impress me. Probably the biggest contributing factor towards my distaste for the LLWS is how their childhood is pushed aside to fulfill parents' expectations. Bummer for them.
LeGarrette Blount "cheapshot". The sports world and all of its commentators are a bunch of pussies. Wait for the video to load and watch it starting at 2:37. Blount was walking off the field when Hout takes the extra effort to say something and slap him upside his pads. The Duck didn't take too kindly to it and, frankly, I'd ruin Hout's shit too. Sure, Blount is a problematic kid and has been suspended for the season but Hout should be repremanded as well - beyond the humiliation of getting dropped with one punch.
Recently, the name of Susan Boyle kept popping up here and there. I paid it no mind but alas, I was roped in as well. I may be the last person on the planet to actually see the clip but I learned three things while watching it. 1.) Susan Boyle is the "Rudy" of the singing world. I was totally blown away. Not only did she sing a song from the greatest musical of all time, she was frumpy and quirky to boot. I must admit, I am a
Susan Boyle fan. 2.) Simon, as big a douche as he is, has a nice smile. 3.) Amanda Holden is a 10.
