Spurious thoughts and idle musings from the world of sports …
 
The Pro Bowl … One group of really good pro football players wearing funny uniforms and their own helmets beat the other group of really good pro football players wearing funny uniforms and their own helmets.  Click.  And that’s a wrap on the 2007 National Football League season.  Now bring on the silly season … The combine, free agency, salary caps, the draft, minicamps, training camps … And then finally blessed September.  Sigh, it’s gonna be a long summer.
 
Okay, now this steroids thing has gone too far … Now Brian NcNamee claims he injected Debbie Clemens, Roger’s wife, with HGH too.  So that she could look good in her bikini for a section of the 2003 SI Swimsuit Issue featuring jock husbands and their wives.  Look, it’s one thing to chemically alter baseball history and the record book but the sacred swimsuit issue is off limits.  We, as sports fans, must insist on the integrity of our artificially lit, carefully posed and meticulously airbrushed cheesecake.  I mean, what’s next, did Mrs Roger go to a tanning salon too ???  I’m telling you, this will not stand.
 
Didja hear about this kid who faked his own recruiting story ???  Last week, in front of a packed gym, Kevin Hart, a 6-5, 290 pound offensive lineman from Fernley High School in Fernley, NV, announced he had chosen … drum roll, please … Cal over Oregon.  TV cameras, cheerleaders, friends and family, coaches and teammates, they were all there for Hart’s dramatic announcement.  Only problem was Cal hadn’t recruited him.  Neither had Oregon.  No one had.  Not even the University of Nevada just a 30 minute drive away.  Of course the kid was embarrassed once the truth came out but maybe there’s a bright side … I mean, hey, as long as Ohio State keeps sending fake teams to BCS title games, he’ll have a place to play.
