Hey everyone...

Some quick thoughts...

First off on Libya... saw over the weekend that Gaddafi's son came out and said that the turmoil that is overtaking the country is WAY overblown... uh... yeah... where have we seen that before?

"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion." - Baghdad Bob said as US troops were entering Baghdad.

OK... NFL Combine took place this weekend in Indianapolis. 
 

For those who don't know... The Combine is the annual scouting event where the NFL invites like 150 college football players and puts them through a number of drill and tests for NFL scouts.  They do agility drills, 40y dash, bench press, Wonderlic test... For the most part the Combine doesn't mean shit to anyone, but it's one of those things that can either get you on someone's radar or destroy your chances of being a high first-round pick.

That being said... I was running on the treadmill at the gym watching the Combine and the offensive linemen were running the 40y dash.  Ok, I get that these guys are OL so no one is expecting them to run a 4.5 40, but really you'd think they'd go to their coach and say "Uh coach, I've been invited the Combine in a few months, do you think you could talk to the track coach and get him to help me with my sprinting technique?"  I'm no sprinter but even I know you don't stand upright 5y out of the blocks... It's no wonder these guys were getting 5.5 40 times...

Speaking of idiots... Charlie Sheen.

That's all that really needs to be said about that... but since I like making fun of assholes I'll go on...

Ok so Charlie's been on a drug/alcohol binge for the last few months... hospitalized 3 times in 3 months... so bad that the producers of his TV show finally said "uhhh... that's enough" and suspended production for the rest of the season.

So what did Charlie do?  Of course he went into psycho-mode and started lashing out at his boss... I mean seriously this guy is already the highest paid sitcom actor on TV making $1.8m an episode... But he called Chuck Lorre a "stupid little man" and that he wasn't on any drugs but rather on a "drug called Charlie Sheen!"  He's now on the interview circuit having done the Today show and... whatever ABC's morning show is... Here's a nice quote when asked if he's afraid of relapsing (relapsing??? Doesn't that imply he was clean?)


"I just won't do it," he said. "I will not believe that if I do something, then I have to follow a certain path because it was written ... for normal people, people that aren't special, people that don't have tiger blood and Adonis DNA"

Uh wut?  Oh and the best thing?  He said if he comes back to the show he wants a raise.... to $3mil per episode. 


bahahahahaha...


ok I gotta get back to work... feel free to add your own favorite Charlie Sheen-ism...
