"Pacman" Jones is up to his old tricks again. According to an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, http://www.ajc.com/news/content/metro/dekalb/stories/2007/06/18/0618dkshooting.html?cxntnid=sprt061807e, Jones may be involved in another stip club shooting incident.
Good grief, how hard is it to stay out of trouble? I know he's a kid but after 2 incidents, you would think this kid would learn his lesson.
Just speaking for La Chica, if I made $1.2 million a year I'm certain I would be able to find a lot of other things to do that did not involve shooting at cars on I285 or shooting up strip clubs across the country. I'm just sayin'!
It's another example of the "bad element" in professional sports. I can do without ALL OF THEM!

Wake Me Up When September Comes
As much as the antics of many professional players have amused and offended me these past few months, I'm still holding my breath for September and the start of football. Mainly college football!
I mean it's kind of fun picking on the majority of these losers (except when it involves animal cruelty) but enough already. Let's bring on the on-field action!
Anyway, here's another story about 2 more Florida Gators getting into trouble with the law. So far this year the Gators are averaging at least one arrest per month: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2902082

YAWN
Last night, the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup. For those of you who do not know what that is, it's the championship of hockey. The poor ole Thrashers made it to the first round of the playoffs but got a beatdown by the New York Rangers. That was like 6 months ago because that's how long the hockey playoffs take.
Speaking of long-ass seasons, the NBA Finals start tonight for those of you interested. It's between Cleveland and San Antonio. All I can say is: YAWN.
Sorry freaks but your Chica is not an NBA fan. I thought I would mention it though so that the losers, uh, I mean fans of the sport do not bitch and moan.
Alrighty, I'm headed to the Georgia coast tomorrow afternoon. Have a great weekend.

Dolphins
I didn't know what to call this blog entry; I tried to think of something clever but I couldn't. I'm seriously befuddled by my Miami Dolphins.
They just signed Trent Green from the Kansas City Chiefs, http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2894921, but I don't know if this is a good idea. On the one hand, I'm glad they're trading Daunte Culpepper. By the way, thanks Nick Saban for drafting Daunte (insert sarcasm here). Culpepper and Saban did absolutely NOTHING positive for the Dolphins. Sorry about throwing the "all caps" at you but a point had to be made. Anyway, so they're trading Culpepper but it's not like Trent Green is young. He's a whopping 36 years old and in football....that's old.
In addition, they passed on drafting a young kid in Brady Quinn earlier this year. Some people think that was a good move but was it?? We need young players to build this franchise not almost 40 year olds.
Question of the day: Will La Chica ever see her Dolphins return to glory in her lifetime? I wonder what Dan Marino is doing this fall (insert pensive pose).

And Then There's Gary Sheffield.......
I continue to be amazed at the stupidity of certain professional athletes. It's as if their careers are not getting enough attention so they must do or say something completely ridiculous and outrageous.
The latest one that I've read about is Gary Sheffield. For awhile now, there has been discussion about the lack of black major league baseball players. Of course everyone's first instinctive response is: What about the lack of white NBA players; why does no one raise a concern about that? That's a whole other blog entry entirely so let's move on.
Back to Sheffield's interview in GQ magazine, http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2891875, where he gives his theory on why hispanics make up the largest minority in baseball. I'll give you the gist: Black men demand respect and latino men don't! I guess Sheffield thinks us latinos are just happy to be here. Thanks for the brainless insight, Gary.
By the way, La Chica refuses to say "African-American" because I guarantee you Gary has not been to Africa nor have his parents or even grandparents. I'm just saying.

More On Vick
Isn't this enough for the NFL to step in and do something?
http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/falcons/stories/2007/05/27/0528vick.html?cxntnid=sprt052907e
Vick first said he knew nothing about the alleged dog fighting and even claimed to know nothing about the presence of 60 plus dogs on his property: Uh, I don't think so! More and more evidence keeps popping up that he was well aware of what was going on and participated.
Enough already, Goodell. God knows the Falcons are not going to do shit and will let this slide under the table and pay people off to make it go away. Suspend his stupid ass!

Hmph.....
I like the NFL's new commish, Roger Goodell; he isn't taking shit from these idiotic football players and I like that.
I know I wrote about this yesterday but the participants deserve as much ridicule as possible. Here is an article where Goodell expresses his embarrassment about and for Clinton Portis. Remember, Portis is the latest dumb ass to make comments defending Michael Vick and his alleged dog fighting affiliation. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2879881
And of course, Portis later "apologized" for his moronic comments. I love the way these guys can say whatever the hell they want and then just apologize. I guess that makes it all go away. Oh and by the by, Portis is not the only one condoning Vick's actions: Joey Harrington, the Falcons new backup quarterback, also has Vick's "back". I thought Joey was smarter than that, I mean he plays the piano and all (insert sarcasm here please).

My Additional Two Cents
I don't want to beat a dead horse (pardon the pun) about this whole MichaelVickDogFightingIt'sMyHouseICanDoWhatIWantAnimalsAreWorthless story but when other athletes are weighing in and giving their imbecilic opinions and thoughts, then I must say something.
Embarrassingly enough, this time around it's one of my former 'Canes, Clinton Portis. Here is what Portis had to say: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2878099
The gist of what he said is this: It's no one's business what Vick does with his animals. They're on his property so everyone should butt out. Take my word for it, La Chica's grammar was certainly better than Clinton's.
Anyway, what I take from these comments is that one can do ANYTHING one wants to any living creature as long as it's on one's private property?? I wonder if Portis applies this theory to when wives are beaten and children are abused as well? Geez, I hope not.
I don't mean to get all serious on your asses but can't we agree on one thing: Children and animals are helpless. They need a little help and protection every now and then!
I wonder if Clinton and Michael would appreciate not having access to food or water for a few days....as long as it was on their own property, I guess it's okay. Just sayin'.

Preakness And Other Stuff
I know that the majority of you do not care about horse racing, the Triple Crown, cycling, the America's Cup, and other non football sports, but I don't care. Don't get a Chica wrong, I would much rather be watching college football than most any other sport but it's not September! So, we must live in the moment and celebrate what we have this time of year.
That said, this Saturday is the second leg of the Triple Crown with the Preakness Stakes. The Kentucky Derby winner, Street Sense, is the favorite to win so let's keep our fingers crossed and pray he does! The last Triple Crown winner was in 1978 with Affirmed so we are due. Not to mention, who can remember that?? As we all remember, it was in the Preakness last year that Barbaro suffered his broken leg; let's hope and pray there are no injuries this time around.
Also, if you're home on Sunday, check out the America's Cup and Giro d'Italia on the Versus network. America's Cup is yachting and the Giro is cycling for those of you who are challenged in international sports. I'm just saying!
I know, I know, it's not football or even baseball but we have a long way to go in the baseball season and the start of summer is not technically upon us yet so I have plenty of time to discuss the "bigs". Don't you worry, I'll be talking about my Braves soon enough because they are kicking ass thus far this season. (For those of you interested, check out the latest on the Braves getting sold: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2872771)
Alright, freakies, check back with La Chica later. Ciaosito!

Hold On...
Work has been interfering with the blog lately. Don't you hate it when that happens?!
Fret not friends, your Chica will be back on in a couple of days to discuss miscellaneous subjects. For now, toss these around in your little heads:
The Preakness Stakes
The Giro d'Italia
The America's Cup
Discuss!

Big Hats and Roses
This Saturday is the first race of the Triple Crown with the Kentucky Derby and I can't wait. La Chica's plans to be at the Derby this year failed but fret not because next year, I will be there (God willing). Forced to wait another year to wear a big hat, I am left to watch it on television yet again.
I must say I am fascinated by the Triple Crown and the Derby intrigues me the most. The pageantry and history alone are worth watching but the best part for me are the horses. These animals are stunningly beautiful and watching them run takes my breath away......just sayin'!
The field this year is 20 and surprisingly there is not a horse that has caught my eye or attention, yet. Personally, I think it's going to be a while before another Barbaro steals everyone's heart again. Having said that, check out this link about one of the horses racing this year. His name is Storm in May: http://sports.yahoo.com/rah/news?slug=ap-kentuckyderby-blind-horse&prov=ap&type=lgns Storm in May is completely blind in his right eye, amazing.
So, this Saturday at about 6:20 pm EST, take time from drinking your pathetic hearts out for a faux Mexican holiday and watch the "most exciting 2 minutes in sports". I know I will be watching and praying that no one breaks a leg!

Another Thug Contributes To Animal Cruelty
Here we go again, this time around it's another NFL "star". Like the other thugs, he's no stranger to strange and stupid behavior. Michael Vick, your ineptitude continues to amaze me.
It appears that stupid ass Vick has a cousin or something in Virginia living in a house he owns and is holding about 60 dogs for dog fighting. As if dog fighting were not enough, they are also malnourished and injured from God knows what else. Michael Vick's mama must be so proud!
Here is a link to the article which explains what I'm talking about: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6743208?MSNHPHMA
How many more dogs are these thugs going to hurt and kill? (Don't get me started on the NBA punks.) This makes two Atlanta Falcons players in the last three months who have had something to do with either the death of a dog or random abuse. Great group of guys, Arthur Blank!

What The......
....hell is going on with the Atlanta Thrashers? I mean we (Atlantans) have waited for 8 years to make a playoff and then we can't even win a game?? Geez. I know it's false hope to think that we'll win the series, but can we at least not get swept?
Wake up Thrashers, you're in the playoffs FREAKS!
Again, look for La Chica at the Tour de Georgia circuit race on Sunday afternoon in Centennial Park.
Ciao for now.

Enough Already
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say: Enough already about this Don Imus stuff. Yes, the man was an idiot for his comments but aren't Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton idiots in their own right for several of their comments over the years????
Here is a link to a wonderfully written article that I think says it well: http://www.kansascity.com/182/story/66339.html
Thanks to Peter for the link.

The Masters and Nappy Headed Hos
Well freaks, your Chica is back from her Mexican Riviera cruise and feeling extremely refreshed. For those of you who have never been on a cruise (this was my first), what are you waiting on?! I had a fantastic time and have discoverd that I am a "cruiser". Maybe I'm getting old: Nah, it's just a wonderful time. Here's a little tip though, skip Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan (complete dumps) and head straight to Cabo San Lucas. Cabo is now one of your Chica's favorite vacation destinations. In a word: FABULOUS.
Back to sports: Yesterday was the final round of the Masters and can I just say how happy I am that a newbie won the tournament. I have never heard of Zach Johnson but was extremely pleased that none of the other usual suspects won this time around. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love me some Tiger Woods but enough already! On a "chick" note, how lovely are the grounds at Augusta National; it truly personifies Georgia in the Spring.
On to Don Imus: Unless you've been trapped under something heavy, I'm sure everyone has heard of Don Imus' recent racial comments regarding the Rutgers women's basketball team. First off, good thing Imus is on radio and not television because that is one ugly Mother Scratcher! Sorry, but I had to get that out. Now, for those of you who have not heard any of his comments, let me just give you a quick quote: "That's some nappy headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that."
I'm not going to lie to you peeps, I laughed my Cuban ass off when I heard the tape for 2 reasons: 1) I couldn't believe he actually said that on the air about these poor girls and 2) One has to admit that it's funny to hear "nappy headed hos" on television when it's not being uttered by Chris Rock. I'm just sayin'! My advice to Imus, you're an idiot and even if this is how you really feel, don't say it on national television unless you want the attention.....ah, of course.

Final Four In My City
Spring has sprung and the city is a buzz. The dogwoods have bloomed, the grass has turned green and the pollen has smothered the city. Oh and the Final Four is this weekend in Atlanta, my hometown. Off topic really quick: To see the most beautiful Dogwood tree ever, go to Myrtle Street in Midtown. Seriously.
Alright back to this weekend and the Final Four, I was going to do my usual picks but honestly, does it really matter? Will your Chica make the correct picks? Most likely not and I know that. My prognostication (there's that fun word again) skills have not improved since football season so I'm letting it go. I've decided to just briefly write about my cheerful thoughts on this Final Four in my city even though it's making me feel a bit melancholy because I will not be here.
As I've stated before, I'm headed on a fabulous cruise for a week to the Mexican Riviera and will miss the Final Four. Again, I'm a bit sad about this because the hoopla that surrounds the tournament is pure enjoyment. However let's be honest shall we: Should a chica, who cheers emphatically for the Miami Hurricanes, be surrounded by a bunch of Gators and Buckeyes? I'm going to say "no".
So, to all my freaks who have tickets to the Dance, be safe and please do not get into any fights. You know who you are! Some of ya'll (how's that for Southern speak) are downright nasty and wouldn't mind physically harming some of these kids playing the game so watch yourselves.
Think of La Sportschica as I sail on the Pacific and drink champagne from my cabin balcony and try hard as I might not to fall off. I will certainly be thinking about my little city in the forest and will miss all the merriment. Enjoy and GO GEORGETOWN HOYAS!

What A Great Night......
....of basketball last night! The games were close and exciting to watch. However, I still cannot believe that Tennessee let an 18 point lead get away against one of the nation's top teams. S-H-A-M-E-F-U-L. That's all I can say about that. And before you all point it out for me, yes La Chica knows that all of her picks lost last night. Whatever.
On to tonight's games, shall we:
(1) Florida vs (5) Butler - I'm so over the Florida Gators and their ugly face star, Joakim Noah. I really hope Butler pulls off the upset, I doubt it but I hope it happens.
(3) Oregon vs (7) UNLV - I'm sticking with the underdogs tonight for the most part and picking the Runnin' Rebels of Vegas. Besides, back when the Shark was coaching there, I liked them.
(1) UNC vs (5) USC - Ah, the lone ACC team left in the tournament. You all know that your Chica is not going to pick a PAC 10 team over an ACC one so...GO 'Heels!
(6) Vanderbilt vs (2) Georgetown - I'm really indifferent on this one. On the one hand, I wouldn't mind seeing Vandy pull it off but on the other, I don't want an SEC team to win either because of all the smack that SEC peeps talk on my comments board. Hmmm, what's a Chica to do? I think I'll go with the Hoyas.
Ciaosito freaks and have a great weekend of college basketball!

Well, Well, Well...
I've been away the last few days but I'm back just in time to discuss some of this weekend's NCAA tournament games. By the way, please stop asking me if I've seen any of the NIT games! With all due respect to the participating teams, I don't give a damn about the NIT!
I'm not going to lie, I was out of town this past weekend and missed some of the tourney so I can't recap as I would normally. Having said that, I did watch that Duke vs VCU matchup last Thursday and it was a dandy. The fact that Duke lost in the 1st round made my Spring. God bless the underdogs. (Unless my team is involved, of course.)
Let's start off with tonight's games, I'm just going to pick who I want to win and go from there:
(4) Southern Illinois vs (1) Kansas - The theme for today's picks is UNDERDOG. Therefore, I hope the Salukis win. Doubt it, but that's who I'm picking. Plus, I like saying "salukis".
(3) Texas A&M vs (2) Memphis - I know Memphis is the higher seed but I just feel that they're still the underdog so my vote goes with them.
(3) Pittsburgh vs (2) UCLA - I'm not cheering for a PAC 10 team, sorry. Go Pitt!
(5) Tennessee vs (1) Ohio State - Let's see, how should I put this, part of me wants OSU to win because I feel they have a better shot at beating the big guys next weekend, but I just can't cheer for them tonight. Go Vols.
Come back tomorrow as I'm sure I will have picked almost all losers. Plus, we need to discuss tomorrow night's games.
Ciao freaks.
