Classy Start For New SC AD

Mike Garrett was still wiping the shoe prints off his ass, when new sc brain surgeon athletic director Pad Haden began making honorable decisions not seen at the brain surgeon hangout since, ... since, ...., well, EVER!

After weeks of “Who, me”, “Why us?”, and “We don’t deserve that!”, Haden accepted the consequences of the Garrett-Carroll-Floyd criminal enterprise, and not only ordered removal of campus idolatry depicting r bush and oj mayo, but further ordered that bush’s ill-gotten Heisman be packed up and shipped back to the NY Athletic Club.

Without them even asking!

Kinda makes you wonder how long Lane Kiffin has before he gets boxed up and mailed back.

Snoop Dogg and the Dodgers - Say It Ain't So!

This past March, I wrote a lengthy post on theHoundDawg Blog entitled "Snoop Dogg and Farrakhan", describing the rise of Snoop Dogg as a cultural icon despite his sociopathic history and his association with Louis Farrakhan.

Now, the Dodgers have chosen to use Dogg in the marketing of their new "Ticket Truck" campaign. Following is a comment I left on the Dodgers' official website, folowing the article announcing this campaign:

The Dodgers now have their own Michael Vick - a man who spent several years in prison, has had numerous drug and firearm related arrests, has been on trial as an accomplice to murder, has been sued for allowing (or ordering?) his "crew" to assault a fan, and who has been a driving force in making obscene, violent, and misogynistic lyrics a mainstay of popular music, and worse yet, who has admitted his membership in the Nation of Islam and of his fervent support for the most miserable, disgusting anti-Semite on the American scene, Louis Farrakhan, who, during a lifetime spewing lies and hatred, was quoted in the New York Times as calling Judaism a "gutter religion", and who in a 1984 speech broadcast on a Chicago radio station stated unequivocally that "Hitler was a very great man". Jamie McCourt, as Dodger CEO and as an active member in the Jewish community, you should be ashamed of yourself in associating the Dodgers with Snoop Dogg.

There is not much more that I can say about my disgust with this situation, other than how much I resent his soiling of the noble "Dogg" ["Dawg"] name.

Vick Should Rot in Hell, NOT Get Millions to Play Football



Michael Vick did not "make a mistake" as his apologists argue. He ran a for-profit criminal enterprise for several years, He partially designed, and financed, and ran on his own property, a dog-fighting ring, participating in breeding, training, fighting, and murdering, untold numbers of dogs, for profit. He continually lied to his employers and NFL administrators, and the public, and ultimately pled guilty to doing the disgusting acts alleged in the criminal indictment filed against him in federal court. The image to the right is a photo of a dog injured in a staged dogfight, and is from the Save Vick's Dogs blog.

In exchange for his guilty plea, he received a ridiculously lenient sentence of just less than two years in custody. Now, as he has regained his freedom, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has handed back his career to him, on a silver platter. Thanks to Goodell, Vick will be earning millions
Pasted Graphic
and playing on NFL fields by October.

I have lost all respect for VIck's new mentor and number one apologist, former coach Tony Dungy, and will have nothing but disgust for any NFL owner who signs Vick to a contract, putting his despicable image in front of fans and media, and feeding him millions of dollars to finance his next criminal enterprise.

Timmie Out - sc to Search Prisons for New Coach

Illegal recruiting, payoffs to student-athletes, and the flaunting of assorted additional NCAA rules all suffered a severe blow, when mike garrett on behalf of the criminal enterprise that calls itself the sc brain surgeon athletic department accepted the resignation of basketball cappo Tim Floyd.

Floyd, who bought and paid for the best basketball team sc has had in years, saw former confidants turn stoolie as outlined here, and with the NCAA, not to mention the FBI, IRS and other assorted governmental agencies, closing in, with his top talent from last year all running away as fast as they can, and with his top three recruits all bailing, decided that maybe summer back in Hattiesburg may not be such a bad idea. (Does Iowa have extradition to the US?)

With the likelihood of serious sanctions being imposed on the basketball program, which is already now in shambles, the fear that the basketball team will be the scapegoat is even more certain. floyd and his program are the Red Cross, March of Dimes, and United Way all rolled together when compared to the outrageous conduct of the football program run by the senior cappo, petey boy.

NCAA: Garrett is throwing floyd and basketball to the wolves to save football. Don't let that happen. The outrageous activities of the carroll years cannot be covered up any longer, and the lengthy investigation we hope and pray is continuing, must result in appropriate sanctions.

Sports Meets Real Life Head-On

Its been a tough few days for sports fans to remain in their fantasy bubble, keeping the realities of "real" life out of the toy department. In the past three days, 44 year old former NBA star Wayman Tisdale died, ex-Charger QB, first round pick, Div. II assistant coach, and all-time bust Ryan Leaf was arrested on drug and burglary charges, golfer Phil Mickelson left the PGA tour upon learning that his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, the 39-year-old wife of Arizona Diamondback lefty and former Angel Scott Schoeneweis was found dead by her 14-year-old daughter, and today the airwaves were full of discussions about a second chance for the scum-of-the-earth Michael Vick, who is scheduled to be released from prison tomorrow.

Words cannot described the tragedy of the deaths of people like Tisdale and Gabriella Schoeneweis, nor the ordeal that Phil and Amy Mickelson and their family will now have to endure. But as to the other two events, the track record of Leaf was pretty strong evidence that his so-called rehabilitation and re-entry into civilized society would be short-lived, and his return to his prior lifestyle could be readily anticipated, and as far as VIck is concerned, well.....

That miserable scum should never play another down in the NFL and should never collect another red cent from any pro football owner. On the field, he was the most over-rated performer in the modern history of sports, and off the field one of the true evil, vile, disgusting excuses for a human being to ever enjoy the fruits of an over-paid, over-rated athletic career. It is disgusting to hear commentators, such as former coach Herman Edwards, fawning over Vick, and anticipating which team will win a sweepstakes for the right to pay him to return to football.

Well, hopefully the next few days, with the NBA playoffs and MLB interleague play, will see a return to on-flied excitement and no more off-the-field stories at the top of the sports news.

Caught With The Goods: FBI, IRS and U.S. Attorney Have Evidence of Tim Floyd Cash Payoff

As reported by Yahoo Sports late this afternoon, the sc brain surgeon's jig is about up, with evidence that head basketball coach Tim Floyd made a direct cash payment of $1,000 to Rodney Guillory, the "runner" who allegedly lavished former brain surgeon guard OJ Mayo with all those fancy accoutrements that decorated his dorm room.

Former Mayo confident Louis Johnson has told FBI, IRS. U.S. Attorney, and NCAA investigators, all about the payment, a small part of the $30,000 or so in illegal benefits paid to Mayo during his short trojan tenure.

Again, local media, protecting sc at all costs, has failed miserably, and it's Yahoo Sports that is reporting what scant info there has been about the now three-year-old investigations of sc basketball and football violations. Their report comes only a few days after Johnson gave his account to the NCAA, but almost a full year since he spilled his guts to the federal investigators.

One bad thought, however, permeates the "flow" of information about the sc basketball program: Are things being set up for the basketball program to take the fall, with the outrageous criminal enterprise that is the sc football program, getting off with a slap on the wrist?

And Floyd had believed that losing Renardo Sidney, whom he thought he had bought and paid for, was the low point of the off-season.

It's About Time that the NCAA Gets Going on SC Crime Wave

The LA Times reported this morning that finally there is some activity in their investigations of the shameful culture of the flaunting of NCAA rules throughout the sc athletic department. The article states that the two major investigations - those of the bush football crimes and of the mayo basketball evils - have been combined into a single investigation.

This bodes well, as, first, it does show that the investigations are not lying dormant, but that there is activity on-going, and second, that the investigation involves the athletic department's lack of oversight as a whole, not just the failures of two sports programs.

For those with a short memory, you can find many of the details of the flagrant rule-breaking in the bush and mayo cases in some of my older "Crime" posts, especially that of Dec. 14, 2008, which can all be found here.

Get this wrapped up, NCAA, so that bush's ill-gotten Heisman is taken away, so that sc's equally ill-gotten football championship is stripped, and give this evil, evil group of miscreants, who pay for a golden image as well as athletic success, their well-deserved sports death penalty.

Four Left

It isn't exactly Duke, Oklahoma, Missouri and Louisville (March 17 post), but a Final Four of Michigan St., Villanova, North Carolina and Connecticut still isn't four number ones, or three and a number two as the "experts" picked.

The Bruin loss to Villanova doesn't look quite so bad a week later, and combine that with seeing daily NBA box scores with the names Love, Westbrook and Mbah a Moute all pro starters as rookies, this should have been the year.

There isn't a great team anywhere out there, and the "I want it NOW" attitude of 19 year old millionaire wanna-bes, driven by corrupt agents and fueled by NBA money, has made the Tournament a CBS and ESPN media extravaganza, rather than a competition of great amateur basketball. As Dave Letterman has said about Stupid Human Tricks, "It's an exhibition, not a competition, no wagering, please."

nim-rod to Have Surgery - Will His "Cousin" Do It?

Word this morning is that nim-rod's hip (read "ass") is sore and he needs surgery and will miss at least the next ten weeks, which will include at least the WBC, the rest of the grueling spring training schedule, and hopefully much of the season.

'Roid medicos have said that a cyst like this is consistent with all those "roid" injections in the ass. Will his cousin actually do the surgery, like he did the injections, or will he just bring in the scalpels and band-aids, fresh off the streets of Santo Domingo?

Since I wrote about being unable to enjoy spring training, this is the second uplifting story to develop.

This video could have been shot in the scumstripes', or or the Giants', clubhouse:

Where IS the Local Sports Media - How About Doing Some Investgative Reporting?

It's been more than a week since the brain surgeons snatched Renardo Sidney from the Bruins, and the brilliant investigative reporters of the Los Angeles media have yet to utter a word as to what really happened. Within a day or so, his "commitment' to UCLA was vanquished, and he orally announced his intentions to attend that other school. Something major happened, most likely something below-board, with rumors being rampant in the air, not not in the media.

When will local sports reporters step up and investigate and report on these types of stories?

The local media has totally ignored the NCAA investigations of the brain surgeons football and basketball programs, and were it not for Yahoo Sports and the likes of Charles Robinson, Jason Cole, and Josh Peter, we would never have known about all of the rules violations and illegal activity involving reggie bush, not to mention the pay-off in the civil lawsuit stemming from the hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal benefits he and his family received while at sc, and also the outrageous conduct of oj mayo under the noses of sc's basketball staff.

Yet another story is going unnoticed by the local sports media, and apparently by both sc basketball fans, as the brain surgeons have removed their basketball games from television coverage. Their Cal game Thursday, today's game at Stanford, and also both of next weeks final Pac-10 regular season games have been taken off their TV schedule. Why? Rumors fly, even including the one that has sc knowing they are facing significant NCAA sanctions and are trying to appease the gods and retroactively ban themselves from TV exposure.

Why are not any LA Times sports reporters, anyone at the Daily News, or any local TV or radio reporters reporting on these stories?

Except for Good-Guy Andy Roddick, Tennis Sucks

I said at the beginning, I would not write about the boring game of tennis, but this issue needs discussion.

Unlike selfish female stars like Venus Williams, who made a patronizing reference during her trophy presentation, Andy Roddick bypassed the Dubai tournament due to the flagrant anti-Semitism of the United Arab Emirates in prohibiting Israeli tennis player Shahar Peer from participating in their tournament. In fact, when news reports incorrectly stated that he bypassed Dubai due to a hernia, he first won the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships, then announced to the world that he was not injured but refused to go to Dubai due to their refusal to grant a visa to Peer.

Keep Michael Vick OUT of the NFL!

There is no more vile, disgusting person on the sports scene than Michael Vick. He received little more than a slap on the wrist for his despicable actions, and I am extremely angry that there is so much talk about all of the NFL teams that may be bidding to sign him.

This miserable excuse for a human being should not be rewarded with a new contract for millions of dollars. He has forfeited his right to compete as a professional athlete, and should spend the rest of his life in pain, suffering as did the poor animals for whom he had so little regard.

Express your disgust with the prospect of Vick resuming his NFL career by signing the Petition at Care2.com to Ban Michael Vick from the NFL-Permanently, to be sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Citi Has Better Ways to Use Its Money - Say Goodbye to Mets' Ballpark

Way back when, like last year, when banks ruled the world, Citibank decided to commit $400 Million to put their logo atop the new ballpark that would be home to the Mets. Since that commitment by their over-paid, under-ethiced leadership, their stock has tanked, they have had net losses of $28.5 billion, they've announced layoffs of 53,000 employees, and they gladly accepted $45 billion in federal bailout aid.

It's time to pull the plug on this, and other such naming-rights deals, by corporations that can't maintain their primary business in a stable, profitable fashion, and certainly by corporations that accept Federal aid.

Use that $400 Million to keep a few of those 53,000 employees working, to keep a few thousand hard-working American taxpayers enduring hard financial times in their homes, and to lower those 25% credit card interest rates and $39 late fee charges.

"I Never Meant To Step On Him”

Houston guard Aubrey Coleman "apologized" to Chase Budinger of the Arizona Wildcats, saying that he "never meant to step on him".

The video from Saturday night's game says otherwise:



Time for Arizona, the Pac-10, and the NCAA to take action and suspend Coleman for a substantial period.

Even if he's telling the truth, Coleman was more than careless in walking "over" Budinger, with reckless disregard for Budinger, lying prone on the hardwood.

60 Minutes Disgrace - Pete Carroll Love-Fest

The bull-pucky love-fest for Pete Carroll on 60 Minutes tonight was a disgrace.

He is the highest ranking piece in the chess game of the University of Spoiled Children, running the biggest scam in college sports, flouting the rules of the impotent NCAA, and committing the most flagrant rules violations of any school in the country. sc influence and payoffs have kept them from the highest levels of NCAA sanctions despite the single biggest scam in NCAA football annals - Reggie Bush and his family receiving more than 1/2 million dollars in illegal benefits (free rent for more than a year in a luxury home, debt payoffs, all-expense paid trips and luxury hotels) have been well documented, and the subject of civil lawsuits, but no NCAA sanctions. Any other program and Bush would have had his Heisman taken away, sc stripped of its national championship (they only won ONE under Carroll, not two as they claim).

Combine this with the OJ Mayo's flagrant violations in Tim Floyd's dirty little basketball program, and sc should long ago have received the NCAA death penalty. Yet, Floyd and his thugs like Leonard Washington are allowed to continue their cheap shot assault on other players, risking serious injury to unsuspecting players around the country.

CBS and 60 Minutes need to investigate the real sc sports department and not pull the wool over the eyes of the public. Take a look at the evidence, take a look at how sc has subverted the NCAA and curtailed any investigation of the NCAA violations and rampant criminal activity in the sc sports department.

Facts:

Bush:

Nice Few Hours for the trojan Thugs

First, brain surgeon Leonard Washington commits a flagrant assault on Oklahoma star Blake Griffin during their basketball game last evening, and then today, more than 13 years after the infamous double murder, all-time sc Poster Boy OJ Simpson was sentenced this morning on the 10 counts of kidnapping, robbery, conspiracy, etc., on which he was convicted, and will spend a minimum of 15 years in prison, though he is eligible for parole after 5 - but will any members of the Nevada Parole Board actually vote to release him early?
