george michaels said it…ya gotta have faith
In this time of point shaving, dog fighting and *records being broken* I think we as fans need to have a little bit of faith to keep us going despite the fact that our 3 major sports all have awful on going scandals. So without further adu… here’s a couple more beliefs…
I believe that guilty by association should apply in michael vick’s case
I believe that, despite the disgusting acts allegedly performed by vick, the the falcons will still be the most frequently picked team in madden 08 b/c people still love playing with him.
I believe that, despite the fact that he probably cheated, i hate his gut and i hope he gets hurt in a freak accident very soon, Barry Bonds is still one of the top 5 baseball players to ever walk this earth. so few people understand the difficulty involved in hitting a baseball whether your juiced or not and the fact that he’s done it so well for so long is still impressive. that being said i still hate his guts.
I believe that A-rod already hitting 500 homeruns should be near the top of the sportscenter hour but the yankees and royals highlights should never be played before at least 40 minutes into the show regardless of how many runs they score…. KC isnt even the best minor league team in the bigs (tampa bay) so beating them by 9 is expected…not impressive.
I believe Josh Barfield is, in some way, related to Omar Vizquel
I believe that the only man who truly knows how to coach in Cleveland is Romeo Crennel and that its a shame he’s going to be fired at some point this season.
along those lines….
I believe the only play Mike Brown knows how to call is 4-low
I believe that Eric Wedge doesn’t even know he’s actually at a baseball game and that if he had the sack to hit-and-run and bunt that the Indians would be the unquestioned front runner to win the world series.
After watching all of Fausto Carmona’s starts this year I believe that he will win the cy young award next year as the Indians ace
I believe that Notre Dame will be under .500 this year in football and I will love every minute of it.
-I believe USC will win the national championship again this year and win each game by an average 18 points minimun.
I believe that whatever team Jermaine Dye gets traded to will be in the world series
I believe The Simpsons Movie will live up to the hype and will win an oscar
Along those lines…other movie beliefs
-I believe “The Rules of Attraction” as the most disturbing first 20 minutes in cinematic history
-I believe Gerard Butler has the best character range in hollywood right now (He played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera and King Leonidas in 300)
-I believe that the whole turning old comics into movies should stop (with exception to spiderman…keep making those) but the hulk, fantastic 4, iron man, etc… let them be
-I believe next years Sweeney Todd Directed by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp will win the oscar for best picture
-I believe Alan Rickman is one of the best actors of our time
-I believe JD’s right… weddings can be awesome…or not
last but not least… i believe in micro-fiber blankets… look into them
thats all for now
