Q&A With The Sports Curmudgeon
Dear Curmudgeon, In light of the facts that England's Rooney "trod on Carvalho's groin", which is a more verbose way of saying kicked his opponent in the nuts, and France's Zidane head butt vs. Italy, is there some kind of soccer rule that players may not physically assault one another with their hands? --Waiting for Real Football in Vegas |
Dear Waiting: I doubt there is such a rule. I suspect that Rooney was inspired as a child by Dennis Rodman and merely emulated Rodman's groin kick and that Zidane was paying tribute to the late great Bobo Brazil. --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, Do you think NL pitchers are grooving fastballs to Albert Pujols so he'll break Barry Bonds HR record and take him out of the record book? They can't throw at him so this is how they get even. --Conspiracy Freak |
Dear Conspiracy: I doubt that even Oliver Stone could get on board with that one. --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, If the size of Barry Bonds' head indicates steroid use, where's the subpoena for Mr. Met??? --Curious |
Dear Curious: Mr. Met gets a pass here because he has had all that gas blown up his butt about how great the Mets are - or ought to be - by the people who call into the NY sports radio stations. --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, Since you like to give us "quick quizzes", here's one for you: It's beginning to look a lot like:
b) Hanukah c) Kwanzaa d) Indianapolis is a lock to win the Superbowl |
Dear Professor: I'll take: e) All of the Above. --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, I agree with you. Horst Schmidt should definitely change his name. I suggest he change it to Bull Schmidt. --Thinking Like You |
Dear Thinking: And if Herr Schmidt ever takes up roofing as a trade, he will be Schmidt on a Shingle... --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, Do you think Jean Van de Velde can uplift womens' golf by competing against the opposite sex? He says he'll shave his legs and wear a kilt. How about if he goes by the name Billie Jean Van de Velde? --Curious |
Dear Curious: Only Victoria's Secret can uplift women's golf... --The Sports Curmudgeon |
Dear Curmudgeon, FYI - here in the Twin Cities - the "Viking canoe trip" is being referred to as "fellategate." --Just Letting You Know |
Dear Just: Thanks for the info. Hopefully, we've heard enough about this boat incident. I hope there is nothing more to learn here. Tell me someone hasn't saved something "fellator". --The Sports Curmudgeon |
