I get the illustrious duty of filling in for Harry this week, so I need to step up my game a bit.

That’s right, that’s me and my cock. I always wanted to start a blog showing off my cock. Careful though, you don’t want to get too close because he’s sensitive and can go off at any moment.

Please keep in mind that in the time it took to write this blog, our esteemed writer has beaned and threw behind Nyjer Morgan for being a douche bag and a bush leaguer. It kind of figures that we would move from cock to bush huh?

Speaking of Bush, it was interesting to hear Mack Brown campaigning to have Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy stripped and awarded to Vince Young. Look Mack, I know Reggie cheated the game and pulled USC under the bus with him, but we’re not talking about Olympic gold medals here. By that same thought process, Matt Leinart’s 2004 award should be given to Adrian Peterson since Leinart benefited from working in an offense that included Bush. You don’t typically see many people beating the campaign trail for an election that wrapped up in 2005. Then again, I imagine Al Gore is still demanding a recount for 2004, so the 2005 Heisman should still be fair game.

Fair games are tough to come by, especially when the two opponents are figureheads jockeying for ground between the players and the teams. In this case, the NHL is taking advantage of a Player’s Association that currently has no true leader in place and pushing hard on the issue of salary cap circumvention. Apparently the league doesn’t much care for teams and players structuring deals in a way that pays the players well beyond their playing days, especially when it is done in order to keep a team under the salary cap. Personally, I don’t really care, the NHL and its teams have shown a complete lack of grasp on salaries and contract structure, especially in the wake of finally getting the players to approve a cap. Seems to me that teams would want to abide by it, but then again, I don’t have money burning too deep a hole in my pocket, so who am I to talk?

No hablo ingles. At least that is the story Manny Ramirez was sticking with when talking with the media upon being traded to the Chicago White Sox earlier in the week. You see, Manny decided that his new turn as Manny Being Manny would be to emulate Sammy Sosa and act like he couldn’t speak English any longer, choosing instead to answer questions through translator Joey Cora. Only problem is Manny remembered right at the end of the conference that he could speak English when he asked “can I go get ready for the game now?” Of course, Manny can speak English, albeit his closest approximation of he language. He proceeded to go just 1 of 3 in his first game, while Sosa went 3 for 3 with a home run in his first ever game with the White Sox. Too bad he didn’t emulate Sosa by bleaching his skin, because the resulting headline of “Manny Being White” would have funny.

Funny things seem to happen in the life and times of Delonte West, but only if you include carrying an arsenal on a motorcycle and sleeping with your teammate’s mother funny. Still, it was interesting to see the Celtics bring back West to complete their bench. While I can see where West would be a solid back-up at the point behind Rajon Rondo, I’m also just a little more curious if it is a stunt to unnerve Lebron James during their season opener against the Heat. Just imaging West walking up to James with a big smirk on his face and ask him, “want to smell my finger?” That will make for an interesting reunion to say the least. But hey, Delonte isn’t petty, but a point guard has got to bounce his balls right?

And isn’t that right where a blog that starts with showing cock should end, by bouncing our balls?
