That's pretty much all I got about him, pretty old and pointless news. It looks like he is going to eat this microphone, though. Anyway, in an occupation such as his own, one should be careful not to inflate, simply due to the fact that each bad call he makes will be blamed on his flab. Ed Hochuli has it right. Froemming is retiring after this season; so good riddance, fatty. The "Who's Now" segment on ESPN has gone far enough. We have become so celebrity-driven in our society that we are now voting on who is the "cooooooooooolest athlete around?" What are we, eight? A recent matchup in the Ali Bracket pitted Super Bowl Champion Peyton Manning against swimmer Amanda Beard. He slaughtered her. Her only chance was that she posed for Playboy, and men like nudity. A forthcoming thriller has slated A-Rod vs. seven seeded Terrell Owens. If this was at all based upon what ESPN thought, TO would be a one seed and breeze through the field. This is just so stupid. Making it worse, though, is the personalities telling us who to vote for. What???????? This should be nothing more than an ongoing Page 2 poll.
Andrew Bogut, we all remember, is Woo's bitch. However, Bogut had some pretty choice words for his NBA counterparts, saying that the fans were right and they only cared about money and possessions, in so many words. Yeah. Thanks Andrew. What next, they're crybabies too? Here's my problem with this; it's really not even my problem. If any player took offense to this, which many may, he will get punched in the balls first time down the floor by each one of them. Why say this? leave it alone. Everyone knows this; just don't say anything.
Everyone remember Brook Lopez? She sounds hot, right? Well he is a center for Stanford's basketball team. If anyone watched the UL-Stanford game in tournament, you would realize how ridiculous it would be for him to be the overall number one pick in next year's draft. Not Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News. I don't know anything about evaluating talent; but if he goes number one, I would be completely shocked. He looked so bad against UL, I can't believe he would even get drafted. But DeCourcy knows more than I, and I guess he has a huge upside or whatever.
One final tidbit. The eight year olds from Germantown (my old team) banged out forty hits on their way to slipping past Rockford Lane in a barn-burner, 31-0. I mean, they published this in the Courier. Rockford Lane had better pitching when I was younger.
Sorry about the Froemming thing. I just wanted to see what it was like to post a picture.
