Congratulations to War Emblem who won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. .Jockey Victor Espinoza said "I had a dream that I was gonna win this race." Strangely enough, War Emblem had a dream that a guy from Mexico City would crawl on his back and whip the snot out of him for two minutes. I'm not sure it's the most exciting two minutes in sports if you're the horse. There was a horse in the derby called "Request for Parole". He was the dark horse.
Espinoza flew back to Inglewood, California yesterday and won the Inglewood Handicap at Hollywood Park riding Night Patrol. Something tells me going from Kentucky to Hollywood Park he was also riding an eight ball.
Congratulations to the University of Hawaii who won their first NCAA Men's Volleyball tournament. It's about time. What's their excuse for not winning earlier? "We didn't have anywhere to practice." Men's Volleyball at the U of H. That must have been some riot. They probably had to call in Magnum P.I. and a bicycle cop to break it up.
Speaking of thankless jobs, Jerry West became the President of the Memphis Grizzly's. Hey Jerry, why don't you take a job that's a little easier? Like President of Haiti. At least there you can look forward to assassination.
The Dallas Cowboys will allow cameras in their locker room and around their practices for a new reality series. We already have that show, don't we...Cops?
The first game in President Bush's T Ball League was played this week at the White House. Since Clinton left, it's about time some balls were flying around on the South Lawn.
Mike Tyson said that White people would pay to see him smash other men up, but they wouldn't testify for him as character witnesses. Right.
The majority of drivers like the new soft walls that will line the track at the Indy 500. I know when I'm driving...I love driving into those soft walls.
Chinese sensation, Yao Ming worked out for NBA scouts this week. This guy is on a plane for 24 hours and then they've got him doing everything. Rebounding, shooting...separating his coloreds from his whites. He's got it down though. The only question mark is his build. He clocks in at 7'5", 235 pounds...Can we please get Yao some big chopsticks? Let's start him off on a fork...He is Gumby Dammit. He worked out for about 45 minutes then the Chinese gov't. drove him back to his hotel in a tank.
Nike is ready to sign Yao to a big deal. That's fantastic. He'll make millions to wear shoes his family gets paid pennies to make. The best news for Yao, it's only a matter of time before he's in a movie with Chris Tucker.
Atlanta Brave B.J. Surhoff had knee surgery and will be out for the rest of the season. Poor B.J. First the Bear, now his knee.
Eight Yachts have left America in search of the fastest route to France. Apparently no one thought to ask the Germans.
Sidney Swans Australian Rules Football Player Peter Finlandia was suspended after he bit another player on the scrotum. Hey Peter, don't bite the balls that feed. The other guy suffered a punctured scrotum and had to get a tetanus shot. Bit scrotum, punctured scrotum, tetanus shot in the scrotum...You know what? I'm never playing Australian rules football. I wouldn't bite another guy in the scrotum to win at anything...Except Scrabble.
The Bengals are giving Gus Frerotte a shot at starting quarterback. Hey Gus, when you're in the position that anything offered by the Bengals is considered an opportunity, it might be time to hang up the cleats, give up the Hall of Fame dream, go back to your hometown and make the most of your self by opening a tire store "Gus' Wheels". Do you know why Gus got offered that job?...Because I turned it down.
