FREEZING YOUR PUCK OFF AT LAMBEAU FIELD
The University of Wisconsin announced it will host the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic February 11 at Lambeau Field between Wisconsin and Ohio State.Jeff sez: Maybe it's global warming, maybe it's heated ice fishing sheds, maybe it's the 2-for-1 mulled ciders at Starbucks, but clearly Wisconsinites are not freezing their asses off enough. Hence, this game. Prediction: Badgers win 4-3 when Jethro Pugh slips and lets a score through. PS: I will probably try to get tickets.
YANKS: 4TH IN JUNE FOR FIRST TIME SINCE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
The New York Yankees dropped nine of 12 games leading into Monday and slipped into fourth place in their division at 30-32, 7 1/2 games behind Baltimore.Jeff sez: Yes, the Orioles are playing great. Yes, Boston is for real. Yes the Yanks may have to sign Jackie Earl Haley to play left. But they're STILL IN THE RACE. It's not a slump, it's more of a 'slumb' - they're half-asleep, that's all. Call me in August when the humidity makes the subways smell like elephant pee and we'll see who's where.
GARCIA WINS BOOZ ALLEN BY TWO SHOT GLASSES
Sergio Garcia stumbled down the stretch but hung on to beat Davis Love II in the Booz Allen classic.Jeff sez: take nothing away from a hard-working pro golfer winning a couple mil, but what in God's name is Booz Allen? Didn't he coach Kansas back in the 40's? Or was he Dean Martin's piano player? Oy.
SOME TEAM BEATS ANOTHER TEAM FOR WORLD BOWL TITLE
The Amsterdam Admirals beat the Berlin Thunder 27-21 to capture World Bowl XIII.Jeff sez: Wow, where do we start? Okay, 1 - if you live in the psycho hotsex party capital of the galaxy, Amsterdam, and you're spending your time going to Americanized football games, you've been accidentally castrated by a carpet-rolling machine. Go to a brothel immediately. 2 - The last time anyone invoked 'thunder' in Berlin, we couldn't find Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, France and Italy for five years. How about something more like 'The Berlin Doves Of Peace?' And 3 - Are you kidding me? There's been THIRTEEN World Bowls? No thanks, I'd rather watch bass fishing outtakes.
