What's up ?! This thread will be done in the manner of a popular sports talk show on radio & ESPN by a guy with the initials J. R. ! ( Don't want to cause problems for the mods) ! It's been a hell of a year in the news in sports, JWD, and celebrities , so I invite you to share your takes with me and everybody here on what you have seen this year in these categories . All I ask is that you have a take, and your take does not suck ! Or the mods might run you ! Just joking !
In sports , it still seems in golf like it's Tiger Woods, then everybody else pretending to be golfers . Boston Red Sox win the world series again ! 2 times in 4 years ? How the hell did it take them 83 years or whatever to win that first one ? Then we had New England Patriots taking pictures of other teams to get an advantage ? Like they were so bad they needed an advantage ? What's that ? Then what would the year have been like without Barroid Bonds breaking the alltime homerun record , albeit on roids, alledgedly, and then later Roger Clemens sending his Texass attorney out there to say he never took steroids ? Dude, all I can say is Barroid's head was so big , I'm shocked it didn't explode before he broke the record ! And the N.Y. Yankees aquisition of Roger Clemens- like that helped them , they still got bumped from the playoffs !
On JWD, we certainly had our celebrities ! Trevorgate dominated the scene , much to the chagrin of all of us who have really , in real life, lost family and friends in death. What a loser. We still have our valued longtime posters like Minimus , who seems to have a stockpile of threads listed somewhere in his storage vaults ! Dude just keeps pumping them out like a great omelette at your favorite breakfast restaurant ! Don't know how he does it ! Also all the mods who I sure as JWD gained notoriety and popularity, grew at least a few more white hairs trying to mediate everything going on between posters ! They deserve lots of credit ! Hope you all have upped your blood pressure medicine as 2008 seems like more people will exit the mind numbing witness cult , and need somewhere to turn for help ! Thanks, mods !
As regards celebrities , we had O.J. popping up in the news again. Seems OJ had gotten pissed that some guys were selling his sports memorabilia , and he hired some geeks from a wedding reception to help him retrieve his stuff ! Now, if you are at a wedding reception and O.J. asks you to help him with some kind of a job- you should know that's not gonna turn out good, right? I mean, come on ! Alledgedly O.J. held these guys hostage at gunpoint and told his geeks," don't let them out of the room ! Nobody leaves ! " I mean, with O.J.'s history, who's gonna run out of a room with him in it, right ? Then of course we had Brittney Shears . Is it just me, or are any of you tired of seeing her or K-Fed in the news still ? You know it's pretty bad when K-fed is considered the more responsible parent in that fiasco . Have either of these two thought of letting either sides grandparents raise these kids ? Fair question, I think !
So, I 'll take your calls or written takes now . Your turn to rant about the year too ! Just have a take , don't suck, and we'll get along fine. Oh, forgot, war me getting my daughters out of a mind controlling cult in 2008 ! War Michelle Wie giving up golf , going back to college , and get a real job she 's good at ! War Barroid Bonds avoiding prison for roids and tax evasion , then finally admitting to it apologizing ? Yeah, right. War Simon keeping JWD healthy for 2008 so lots more people can get good sane help ! Peace out, look forward to your takes on sports, JWD, or Ccelebrities for 2008 ! I'm out, Mr. Flipper
