Possibly controversial......

Well to sum it up I have been playing a lot of horse lately on and offline. Its not the kind that you would think like with basketball. I made two bucks playing in a free tournament online which was nice and fun. I dont really want to talk about poker in this entry, I have at least one big though that I would like to get into this entry. I was up very early this morning(still up) Mike and Mike in the morning came on on ESPN2 and Mike Greenberg was talking about how Nolan Ryan although being elected to the baseball hall of fame with the highest percentage of votes ever was not one of the top 10 pitchers to ever pitch. He was comparing this to how people were going to see Brett Favre when it was his turn to be voted into the hall of fame. Ryan was most definitely amazing to watch, throwing 100 mph. And he pitched 7 no hitters in his carreer. Something that I dont think anyone is even close to. He has the most strikeouts of all time, but he played 27 seasons in the majors, something that is very rare. He has the most strieouts, but he was only 32 games above .500 for his career. It is a lot like Brett Favre's career. Sure Favre won a superbowl, and he is approaching many records for quarterbacks statwise. Favre however has not had any injuries, well i should not say any injuries, any amazingly bad injuries. Favre is the Cal Ripken Jr. of football. He has played so many games in a row that the stats are bound to stack up. Sure Cal Ripken had 3000 hits, but if youre going to be in the lineup for that many games in a row you had better be able to hit. I am not saying favre is a bad QB, he isn't by any means. I am just saying he isnt one of the best of all time. He is good at what he does, but he never had the Marino like numbers year to year. He is consistent, but his team never had as much success as Joe Montana's. He is good in the clutch, but he isnt as good as John Elway. He will probably be voted into the hall of fame with flying colors, but he is just not that in the top 5 or so of all time. People do love him though. He is fun to watch even though I am a Viking fan. There are millions of people who think Favre is fun to watch. He is going to throw the ball as hard as he can to get it to where it needs to go.
Well enough of that, I want to proclaim my love for a show called cheap seats. Bad sports video with comedy is a great combination. With the Sklar brothers it is a show that I watch whenever it is on. They need to be in more stuff.
Movie of the day: Anchorman, enough said everyone has seen anchorman.
Song of the Day: Joker---- Steve Miller Band, I love this song I am surprised I had not used it before, I think everyone likes this song.
Peace!
