What a perfect Father’s Day.  The kids gave me a BBQ grill with the new infared technology which by the way cooks food so much better.  Thank you kids, you (and your Mother) are the best things that came into my life.  I’m a very lucky man indeed!  On top of that, Father’s Day provided some pretty good  sports action in Northern California.  The PGA at Pebble Beach, the Cardinals were in town, and even NECKCAR made an appearance at Infineon Raceway at Sonoma. 

Golf – U. S. Open.  Is there a better looking course than Pebble Beach?   Let me tell you all something, if you ever get the opportunity to visit California and you like scenery, come to Monterey, the place is absolutely AWESOME!  If I ever get money, I’ll pay to play that course.

In a day where nobody seemed to want to win, I’d like to thank all the leaders for not handing the Championship to the Frenchy.  Nice job to the Graeme McDowell, but did I see Tiger and Lefty struggle with their putting Sunday or what?  And what of that kid who was damn near in a “boat race” after Saturday and gave six shots back after the first three or four holes and ended up with an 82? 

Tiger telling off a reporter at his presser with “That’s none of your business”?  I applaud Tiger for that.  Reporters are douches and he deserved that.  The “heckler”?  Nah, here’s a heckler:

To the a-holes screaming “it’s in the hole” immediately after every shot off the tee, do you think you’re original (Hint, Bill Murray, Caddyshack 30 years ago)?  A piece of life advice for you losers:  Get out of your mom’s basement and find a different hole for the first time in your life.  Douches.

Ernie Els yelling “F#$%ing Ball” for the TV to catch was outstandingly funny!

I said this last year, but Tom Watson is a freaking Man!!!  60 years old and playing like he did at a major?  Props to him and I hope when I grow up I can be a fraction of the man he is!

World Cup 2010.  I know most of you could give a rats ass about the World Cup and believe me I understand, but how can you not get with New Zealand?  Or how ‘bout the euros having a poor showing (that’s an understatement) – although I will take Portugal’s 7-0 win over North Korea.   Looks like its South America’s Cup to lose and I for one couldn’t be happier.

USA getting screwed by a ref is about as surprising as Brett Favre being unable to make a decision.  You know it’s coming, don’t give the refs a chance to do you.  What were you doing down 2-0 anyway? 

The Frenchies are in utter drama mode (fact of life for them perhaps?) by refusing to practice due to an argument between Captain and Coach at halftime?   What were they fighting about, who surrenders first?  We talk about the Cubs and their penchant for losing, but what about the Frenchies, who haven't won since what, Napoleon? 

Now in what looks to be their final game in the World Cup, these guys have to face the home team who has nothing to lose while the hygienically challenged wine and cheese goofballs from France are turning on each other.   Come on South Africa, make the fall complete and give Ireland even more satisfaction.  As was said elsewhere, karma got the Frenchies. 

Albert Haynesworth.  Hey Fat Albert, you’re damn lucky you’re not still sitting in jail for that assault on that Dallas Cowboy back in the day.  Not only did you get away with that garbage, the Foreskins paid you One Hundred Million dollars?  Screw you you whiny big biotch!  Hey Mikey the Rat, don’t trade this guy, sit him, that way he can’t earn his “incentives”, which apparently he doesn’t care about anyway. 

Lakers Win, Lakers Win.  In the immortal words of DWB – “YAWN”.  We use the term classic and historic far too much, and in my mind this series was neither and anybody that tries to hype it as such should be ashamed of themselves!  In fact, it wasn't particularly entertaining either.  Now, no sooner does Game 7 end and we have to hear the word DYNASTY.  STFU and let the Laker fans have their win please. 

However, I do find it amazing that with all the complaining by Laker fans of free throw disparities throughout the playoffs, LA gets a 20 FT advantage in a low scoring game which just happens to be Game 7. 

What was the only good thing about the Lakers winning?  Ron Artest’s act, funny and genuine. 

Now that I’m done hatin’ on the Fakers, props to where it really belongs and that’s to the old farts in Beantown for having that one last run in 'em.  They went through Wade, James, Howard, and damn near got by Kobe.  If anything should be celebrated, it should be that.

NHL and head hits.  The NHL may give discretion to give major penalities, game misconducts, and supplemental discipline after the fact to those who go head hunting.  What I find amusing is that the Owner of the Philly Flyers is involved in this as a member of the “competition committee” – that’s like putting the fox in the hen house. 

Well, it seems that different areas of interest continue to try to block this.  What, are you kidding me?  Guys getting intentional shots to the head and nobody wants to do anything until now?  Oh, I see Don Fehr is an “unpaid advisor” to the NHLPA.  ‘nuff said.    

Sporting News Football pick.  Mike Florio has an article out that says the New Orleans Saints WILL NOT return to the playoffs – no good reason, only that the Saints “partied until April”.  Hey Mike, I don’t know if you know this, but Super Bowls aren’t won in April. 

Question of the Week - $UC.     Hey Reggie Bush, so you plan to help $UC fight the sanctions that you caused?   Good Lord, where can we go with this?  

Rant of the week – Lady Gaga.  Now, last week I ranted on this hag for her antics at the Mets game where she flipped off the fans.  This time the skank decided to slither into the Yankees clubhouse, drank whiskey while wearing a bikini bottom and a pinstriped jersey that was unbuttoned to reveal her bra. Several Yankees, including Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez visited with her.  Well, at least if she was around A-Fraud we know she was safe – perhaps he was getting make up tips from her.

Peace and ranting forever!!!
