Showing His Ignorance Again
-
A tip of the cap to our good friends at You Been Blinded.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. refuses to get in the ring with Manny Pacquiao because he’s afraid of getting his ass handed to him, but that hasn’t prevented him from ranting with some shameful racist bs. Pretty disgusting even for Mayweather’s low standards.

Nice Start, But They Need Work
-
Offensively, USC was impressive in its season-opening victory over host Hawaii Thursday night. Each time the Warriors would rally from double-digit deficits, the Trojans’ offense would respond with a crucial score in their 49-36 thumping. Matt Barkley looked good throwing 5 touchdowns, but running back Marc Tyler and wide receiver Ronald Johnson, who is almost as good as anyone in the country, also were major contributors.
But the defense, particularly the secondary, is a work in progress. Hawaii tagged the Trojans for almost 600 yards in offense.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

In our best Gomer Pyle imitation…we’re looking at you Pitt. Utah allowed the Panthers to rally and force overtime in their college football opener Thursday night, but the Utes delivered in OT, when the No. 15 Panthers pissed away an opportunity with a turnover.

Sweet Revenge
-
The Cards kicked Walt Jocketty out the door despite the former GM putting together the pieces that eventually won them a World Series in 2006. Almost every year, they were the club to beat in the NL Central. But not this year.
Now, Jocketty has built the Reds into a contender and they’re beating the Cards at their own game and closing in on the division crown.
The 2 clubs meet this weekend in a pivotal series in St. Louis. The Cards trail the Reds by 8 games in the division. A sweep or a series-winning outing by the Reds will practically gift wrap a spot in the playoffs. Though Dusty Baker deserves as much credit as anyone, so does Jocketty.
Ironically, Jocketty’s great work in Cincy will probably result in the demise in his friend Tony LaRussa in St. Louis.

A big fish got snagged today at the U.S. Open. Andy Roddick, who some so-called experts predicted would win the tournament, got bounced in the 2nd round by Janko Tipsarevic.

Manny Happy Returns
-
Kinda looks like Stevie Wonder, huh?
Manny Ramirez and the White Sox are doing just fine. Ramirez got a bloop single, but Paul Kornerko, another former Dodger you might have heard of, delivered the biggest blow as the White Sox rallied Wednesday for another victory in Cleveland, Manny’s former home. The Sox head to another one of Manny’s old stomping grounds with a 3-game series in Boston this weekend. Fran Fenton and the boys will probably meet Manny with a limo at the airport.

My how Matt Leinart’s stock has dropped. But when you can’t beat out Derek Anderson, it doesn’t say much for your abilities.
The Cardinals supposedly are shopping for a deal for Leinart, with the Raiders, Giants and Bills as possibilities. And we thought the Raiders had enough quarterbacks. Buffalo? How about that for a climate change.

‘The Usain Bolt Of Baseball’
-
We love the Bronson Arroyo description of highly touted Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman. “We’ve got the Usain Bolt of baseball.”
Chapman threw bolts at the Brewers, hitting 102 on the radar gun during his impressive one inning stint Tuesday night in an 8-4 victory by the Reds.
He’ll also add some gas to this weekend’s upcoming series in St. Louis between the Reds and the fading Cards.
