Tiger’s “cat” is almost out of the bag
Of course we couldn’t wait too long before throwing in our own two cents about the Woods story, it wouldn’t be American!
I’m getting to the point where I’m getting angry because this is now a public issue.
It’s private until Tiger hopped behind the wheel and crashed his vehicle.
It’s private until the police are called and a report is called in of a man appearing to be unconscious laying in the grass.
A private matter does not erupt into the street with a crazed blond woman smashing out the windows of a $70, 000 SUV.
A private matter does not involve neighbors supposedly hearing Woods screaming “You’ve ruined Thanksgiving, way to go!”
A private matter sure as hell does not involve state troopers, a trip the ER, and neighbors.
This is a classic “who done it?” scenario playing out for the Woods’ family and I wish Tiger would man up and admit what happened. This didn’t happen behind closed doors and it was not hidden from the authorities so there is nothing private about it.
The stories are swirling and most seem pretty credible based on how this accident played out. It’s been thought Tiger’s wife beat him with his own clubs and forced him to flee the house, thus crashing his SUV. Now this version sounds the most dramatic, and all kidding aside, does sound like a likely scenario. Even Wanda Sykes is chiming in and wonders if Tiger’s wife has just as good club selection as he does….funny.
Regardless, it happened and not allowing the police to do their job is pathetic. Tiger, you’re rich and the best golfer in the world but you are also a tax paying citizen and when your domestic issues get out of hand, people will know.
No different then the Jones’es down the street …
Come on ABC…Lambert only kissed another guy, big deal
What’s wrong ABC? You can’t allow a very flamboyant and talented singer on GMA?
However, you have prime time shows that openly display homosexual men/women and sometimes they kiss!
Brothers and Sisters, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, they all have gay characters who quite frequently engaged in PDA. Granted, these are actors but there is no difference.
Adam Lambert grabbed a guy and gave him a smack on the lips on live TV. Oh noooooooooo!
Wow! Those facebook pics sure got some attention!
Interesting story out of Quebec, if you haven’t read the article, do so. Once again, a story comes along that just sends my editorial neurons out of whack.
So, you go to the doctor and are diagnosed with severe depression…so severe that she is forced to go on short term disability for a year from her employer…all the while receiving payments from her employer’s insurance carrier.
All of this sounds normal to me, except for one thing…the diagnosis of the depression. I am not a shrink and I don’t hob nob in the circles of shrinkdom and psychiatric medicine, but I am curious as to how “definitive” a diagnosis of clinical depression really is.
She was seen by a doctor, she was told she was depressed, she was also told to see friends as a way to get herself better…still sounds relatively normal to me….but…..
In my blogging view, if you can jump around the beach, visit your friends, smile for random party pics, and post them on your facebook account…how come you can’t wake up and go to work?
Insurance companies use these tactics all the time to avoid fraud and in many opinions other then mine, this woman committed insurance fraud, or at least in the eyes of the insurance carrier.
There are issues with what happened here. It is sad that insurance carriers are forced to take these measures because there is so much fraud in the claims arena, what other option do they have? Video taping customers is common practice especially when money is involved, money that ultimately is funded by you and I.
The insurance companies definition of “depressed” obviously differs from the doctor’s. All the while, Miss Blanchard fell victim to her own social networking profile (tch tch tch)….and her decision to post them was a costly one. (Oh and for all those “right to privacy” fanatics out there please shush yourself…the Internet isn’t private but you already knew that)
In the end, with a slick attorney, she will probably get her money back…but ask yourself something…after seeing an incident like this…are you sure you want to post some of those pics?
Palin…go away!
Seriously, I don’t care that you have a new book….I don’t care that you have a tattered relationship with your daughter’s “baby daddy“…and I find absolutely nothing of this fascinating in the least. It’s all over TV, she’s been on every talk show on earth….all for what? To increase exposure for a possible presidential run in 2012?
People, the woman quit her job as governor of Alaska…and she is now suddenly viable to be President? I typically love juicy stories in the media but this woman, no matter left or right wing, just doesn’t do it for me. The circumstances are boring and it’s just another public person with a normal dysfuctional family (we all have dysfunction).
I just don’t find her’s real interesting…
Happy Veteran’s Day!
At times we fought each other but you always fought for a cause…thank you to all who have served, currently serving, and have sacrificed.
I guess the Larry Johnson petition worked…
The inevitable happened today, LJ has been ousted.
The KC Chiefs running back has been handed his pink slip.
Could not be a better topper to an already horrific season for the Chiefs franchise.
Losing record and a long rebuilding road ahead…again?
I found a photo that captures Larry Johnson nicely. This one can be hung on the “Dad, I wanna to be a running back like LJ wall”.
So long…I’m sure the Eagles will pick him up.
Kansas City has had enough of Larry Johnson’s antics
So much so that a petition has been started by KC Chiefs fans demanding that he be dismissed from the team.
The guy is a good player but he has been plagued by his attitude that he doesn’t give a rat’s posterior about being in this city.
Sadly, he doesn’t think twice about making comments about his teammates and now, his own head coach.
Oh and freely using the word fa**ot in public forums…a locker room near live mics is not a good place to practice that right.
Free speech comes with a cost, we know this. He also has an attitude that most fans are not fond of. I’m not starting another argument about athletes and their obligations to the public, face it, they do have an obligation.
You make a lot of money and people see you all the time, it comes with the job. If you wanna bag on homosexuals, don’t have a public Twitter account where everyone can see it.
The petition is no joke, the fans want him gone:
Here it is…
Dear Scott Pioli,
Let us start with the point: We do not want Larry Johnson to become the Kansas City Chiefs all time leading rusher.
We are lifelong fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. Win or lose, good or bad, right or wrong, we love the Kansas City Chiefs. Growing up in Kansas City, we were raised knowing there are two seasons in KC: Chiefs season and Road Construction. We feel we speak for an entire city when we say that we are an organization of hard working fans, hard working players and blue collar coaches that care passionately about not only our win/loss record, but also for the integrity of the game of football.
Being new to the organization, we would like to talk about something that has been on our minds since before the season started. We have had a long standing tradition of putting the best players in roles that best serve the needs of our team.
As a fan base, we have always taken pride in some of the names that have played on our field, hung in the Ring of Honor and those that are now immortalized in the Hall of Fame at Arrowhead Stadium. Names like Bobby Bell, Christian Okoye, Willie Roaf, Lenny Dawson, Priest Holmes, Abner Hayes and the amazing Derrick Thomas. These are just a few of the names that will live forever in the hearts and minds of Chiefs fans everywhere.
The times we’ve spent watching and supporting our great past players are times that we hold dear. The players were role models for us as we grew up, and they will be names we share with our children as they grow up. With that being said, one name that I hope is never mentioned amongst those great Chief names is Larry Johnson.
While we are thankful for his service, we feel that Larry has been a black eye on the organization and has no business being mentioned with some of the above names.
During his first few years in Kansas City, Larry Johnson ran through holes created by one of the greatest offensive lines ever put together. He was handed the ball and was asked to follow Tony Richardson, the best fullback to ever don a Chiefs helmet. Because of those early successes, Larry Johnson now sits on the cusp of becoming the all-time leading rusher in Kansas City Chiefs history. Not to discredit anything he has accomplished, but we believe it would be a travesty if Larry were to surpass the great Priest Holmes as the Chiefs all-time leading rusher.
It’s not a hidden fact that Larry hates being in Kansas City. He doesn’t like the organization, he doesn’t like the fans, he doesn’t like the city. He has been more than vocal about how he feels about being a Chief. We’ve waited for years for him to be traded and we don’t believe that there is an offensive line that can open a hole big enough for Larry and the chip on his shoulder to run through.
Let’s talk about facts now. So far on the season, here are Larry’s numbers:
7 Games
132 attempts
358 yards
2.7 yards per carry
51.1 yards per game
0 TD
0 runs of 20 or more yards
2 fumblesThat is abysmal. For a professional back in the NFL, that is absolutely terrible. There is no reason for him to keep getting starts. There is no reason for him to even see the ball. There is no reason for him to be on the sidelines. The number 27 should be taken off the field because of a line like that.
We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the pride that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson. Please do not let his name sit atop the all-time rushing leaders in Kansas City Chiefs history. He needs a mere 80 yards to surpass Priest. He doesn’t deserve that opportunity. He has never represented anything close to the values that we have for our Chiefs and it would be another dagger to the fans that continue to support this proud franchise.
We are asking this as a favor to those of us who have supported this team long, long, long before you were brought in. We will support you through thick and thin – you will find out that we are a loyal, loyal bunch. As you will learn, Kansas Citians are very supportive of our organizations. We love the Royals and the Chiefs. We understand there are ups and downs and we do not expect the team to win 12 games every year. We know the Chiefs will get better and that it might take some time. While we may be frustrated at times, we understand. However, allowing Larry Johnson to attain a record is something that can never be erased. In a year where the team is trying to look toward the future with many young players, please don’t add to the collective morose this city is feeling by allowing one of the truly great players, people, and role models in this city’s sporting history to be replaced in the record books by someone who we don’t like and who doesn’t like us. Show this town you are the leader the organization needs and release or deactivate Larry Johnson now and never again let him wear the red and gold on Sunday.
Thanks for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
That pretty much says it all right there.
Pizza ranks high as a mobile commodity
One of the silliest applications on the Iphone and the Ipod touch (neither of which I have) but what a great idea.
The app has been in the Iphone world for about three months now and has generated over $1 million in sales!!
Pizza Hut previously had a WAP enabled application that allowed mobile ordering, so they’ve been in this space for a while now.
Who needs a fancy level or directions through the NYC subway when you’ve got instant access to breadsticks and greasy pizza?
Mmmm…
