BONDS HAULS ASTERISK ON CHASE OF AARON
Barry Bonds hit another dinger against the Cubs to move within 26 homers of Hank Aaron.Jeff Sez: When I was a kid, I went to a Milwaukee Braves game. Aaron hit a line-shot homer, ran the bases, trotted into the dugout, went into the tunnel and enjoyed himself a cigarette. That’s the worst thing Hammerin’ Hank ever put in his system, and that was still back in the day when a lotta folks thought an after-supper Camel was good for the digestion. Don’t wake me for the Bonds hoopla.
KASEY KAHNE GETS HUG FROM …’MOM’?
Kasey Kahne won the California 500 this weekend and got a hug from his mom right after the race.Jeff Sez: Really?! That was his MOM?! You could not measure the speed at which my wife and I flashed double takes at each other. I thought for sure some NBC play-by-play guy was about to get a hefty fine from the FCC, but no, that was indeed Mom Kahne and she’s clearly head of the NASCAR MILFS. Oh GOD I’m that freakin’ old that I thought Kasey Kahne’s mom was his chick!
DRUNK FOLEY GETS SHOT BY COP
San Diego Chargers linebacker Steve Foley is recovering from three gunshot wounds inflicted by an off-duty San Diego officer who had stopped Foley on suspicion of drunk driving. This is Foley’s latest in a series of dust-ups, the most recent less than five months ago.Jeff sez: While Foley did indeed stop, harass, reach to his waistline and approach the officer in a threatening manner, the real star of the show appeared to be the “passenger” in Foley’s vehicle, one Lisa Maree Gaut. Gaut didn’t just stand by her man, she whipped the vehicle around after Foley got out and aimed it right at the officer. The officer fired two warning shots in the air, which failed to slow either Foley or the car, at which point the officer put a couple in the car’s radiator and then into Foley’s radiator. According to Charger coach Marty Schottenheimer, Foley will miss the opener. Uh, Marty? He might miss the 2010 opener as well.
