What's up with that?
Most everyone who knows me, knows that one of my "catchphrases" is What's up with that? I don't pretend to be the person who coined the term, but I've been using it for a long time. In the world of sports these days it seems that more and more I'm asking myself and others, What's up with that? This will probably show up in my blog over and over again.
What's up with Lindsey Jacobellis? My girl had a gold medal all but around her neck and... I would have felt a whole lot better about it if she had come clean, admitted to showboating and apologized. Taking the other road, where she denied hot-dogging left me a little down on the blond beauty.
What's up with Bode Miller? This guy is all we heard about leading up to the games and he has been a complete bust. Except for Dan Jansen falling Olympics after Olympics in speed skating, I can't think of a bigger disappointment.
What's up with Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief? NASCAR sends the chief home for cheating and Jimmie still wins the big one. Reckon NASCAR pulled out that fine-tooth comb for the post-race inspection?
What's up with Barry Bonds? He's quoted in USA Today saying that 2006 will be his last year record or not. Then today he says he may play in '07 if he feels good. Gimme a break.
What's up with Ricky Williams? His mom and agent says there's no way he smoked marijuana again. I'm not going to pass judgement, but that's a "What's up with that?" within a "What's up with that?"
What's up with the NCHSAA and these basketball playoff pairings? The Kings Mountain girls win the SWC 2A/3A tourney and doesn't even get a bid, while the Burns boys get a bye and a home game after finishing third in the league. I know the Bulldogs got a break based on the split league, but come on. The NCHSAA needs to get a grip.
What's up with Sasha Cohen? The US skater soared into first place after round one of the figure skating competition Tuesday in Torino. Did someone say Michelle Kwan?
What's up with the US hockey team? The team made up of NHL all-stars lost again today and somehow still advanced to the quarterfinals. The next loss, and it will probably be to Group A leader Finland, will be the last for this underachieving bunch.
What's up with Tony Stewart? The Home Depot hothead lashed out at NASCAR earlier in the week about bump-drafting and then acting as if he was driving a bumper car at Daytona on Sunday. That rascal was involved in a half a dozen paint-swapping incidents and had Matt Kennseth fuming when the 500 was over.
Well, let me run. I'm heading to FLA with the pitchers and catchers. Maybe I'll have a tan to report next week?
