Kobe, Ralph, Gas Prices, LT, Bonds, and A Monkey Riding A Dog

I see that Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for a gay slur in which he called the ref a "bleeping pack of cigarettes in England."

After the game Kobe didn't express a lot of remorse saying that he didn't really mean it and all things are fair in the heat of battle.

I suppose.

We've all said things that we didn't mean, but we didn't have a camera on us at the time. Still the language is something that needs to be watched. Guys always refer to something as gay, or retarded. There are people out there who may take offense for sure. A hundred grand to him is only a nickel to us anyways.

He's a great player though.

Sports in the country is also way too important to everyone, if you ask me. I watch a ton of sports and get caught up in it as well as the next guy, but when your local newspaper has a column about school budgets being cut right next to the demands of the owner of the NFL team it can be a tad disconcerting.

The Bills owner demanded interest on the money given to him by the county. It truly is a ridiculous amount of money as well as there may not even be a season because they can't figure out how to split up their billions, and because the Bills have flat-out sucked for years and years.

What really galls me is that taxpayers pay, fans overpay, and if there is not a complete sell-out, they don't even put the game on television.

The Bills were great in the early 90's though.

And our kids can't afford a soccer ball for gym class.

Speaking of not being able to afford something how do you feel about the gas prices? Crazy, huh? Again, I should have taken an economics course of some sort. People are raped at the pumps and oil companies don't know what to do with all the money they make.

It's getting to the point where it may be more cost effective to stay home, for some people, than go to work. Fill 'er up? You need a home equity loan to utter those words.

Go BP!

Saw that LT (Lawrence Taylor the former football player) received just probation for his run-in with an underage hooker. He deserved to because after all, as LT with his wife by his side, explained: she's a working girl. I don't ask for ID when I hire them."

He was a great player though.

Speaking of great players, Barry Bonds was acquitted on 3 counts of taking steroids. It seems that there just wasn't enough proof to convince the jury.

How about the fact that you had to knock down half a wall so he could get his large head through the courtroom door. No one saw that?

He was a great player though.

But through it all I've watched a lot of news, sports, and Kelly Ripa through my knee recovery. The most interesting thing I saw was footage of a small monkey on the back of a dog at a minor league baseball game promotion. The monkey was hanging on for dear life and the dog appeared to enjoy being part of the show.

Now there's talent.

Neither the monkey nor the dog said or did anything stupid, either.

We should give them all of our tax and gas money.
