Tour De France Down to 5 Riders, and More..
Wednesday, July 25
-With a violation of his team's "internal rules", Tour leader Michael Rasmussen has been dropped from Rabobank, and has forfeited his lead at the Tour. The sports world yawns. [ESPN.com]
-ESPN continues to decline in the GWH's favor. It's "Who's Now" series is mind-boggling: Cheezy format, unqualified panelists, and ESPN flaunting "Over 150,000 people have casted their votes!" (which seems to the GWH to be uber-low when it comes to the site traffic ESPN.com must recieve in one day) have officially earned a partial ban in this household. Only NFL Live, and watching Lee Corso on College Gameday Live proudly exclaiming Hawaii's QB Colt Brennan as a "Player Flying Under the Radar" (Lee, must we forget his position on last year's Second Team All-American squad, as well as a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award?). Just because the guy plays off the mainland doesn't qualify the touchdown machine as flying under the radar. ESPN continued the fuckups in it's revealing of the top 117 college football programs. Rutgers at 70? I understand that many factors go into the system, but with 6 losses in the past 2 years in the Big East and heavy BCS expectations for 2007 doesn't even qualify the Scarlet Knights for top 30?

Vacation Post
I've been on the beach for the past week and a half. Unfortunatly, all the nights out and days spent on the beach have not allowed me to elude the DogRefSteroid-Saurus roaming the sports world. So here's some new news...
-Sources say that Priest Holmes has discontinued his previous path to retirement. He recieved a clean bill of health from neck specalists [he messed up his neck and hasn't been in camp for a year]. He restructured his contract with the Chiefs last year enabeling him to stay on the team, with the possibility of him ever returning being slim at the time. Well, this all may be bad news for Larry Johnson, who, in the final year of his contract, is wildly underpaid and is a threat to hold out this year. If Herm Edwards seems satisfied with Priest, will Larry J become trade bait before the season starts???
-New Canes coach Randy Shannon seems to be well into his plan calling for a culture change at the U. This seems like a good and reasonable idea.
-Ian Johnson, the running back at Boise State who scored the GW touchdown in last year's Fiesta Bowl as well as later that night with his new fiancee, is forced to hire security for his own wedding.

The most important man in sports: Dr. James Andrews by Great White Hype
He's been on ESPN's bottom line more often than WNBA scores. He's had to subscribe to Lucky Magazine just so Anna Benson has something to read in the waiting room while Kris is getting the bad news on the sore shoulder. He's probably got the best idea on which quarterback to draft in fantasy football, cause Chad's MRI displayed more disconnections than dial-up.
He's Dr. James Andrews. And hes the GWH's Sexiest Man of 2007
(no homo). Just kidding.
But I thought I would allow for my readers a little more insight on the man who has scoped more dudes than Clay Aiken on Muscle Beach.
Dr. James Andrews, or Doc Jimmy Drew, went to LSU for both undergrad and for his MD. He's on the board of every medical school ever.
His kids are named Andy, Amy, Archie, Ashley, Amber, and Abby. Maybe if Roger Clemens goes down with a torn labrum, he can hook up Dr. Jimmys girls with Koby, Kory, Kacy, and Kody.
Dr. James also enjoys regattas. His offshore racing sloop, Abracadabra, was recently named one of the best 100 vessels of the 20th century by Vessel Magazine. If you can name one person you know that gets Vessel Magazine, I will give you my mother's address and $70 to take her out for a nice Italian dinner.
Thanks to Carl Pavano, Drew Brees, Carl Pavano, Carl Pavano, Mark Prior, and Carl Pavano, dude is one rich cracka. And I would like to fill his pockets, so he can break another bottle of Cris on the bow of Abracadabra II. After opting to get surgery on my torn labrum from freshman year at college, I have left a message with the people at the Andrews Institute of Orthopeadieacs & Sports Medicine to recieve a second opinion. I will keep you all updated.

- Here's a few facts on A-rod at the midpoint. Through June 23rd, Rodriguez ranks 1st in the Major Leagues in home runs (28), RBIs (76), slugging percentage (.707), On Base Percentage+Slugging (1.140), runs (71), and 3rd in hit by pitch (9). Rodriguez is also on pace to hit 65 home runs, breaking the American League single season Home Run Record of 61 set by former Yankee Roger Maris in 1961. He is also 6 HRs away from 500. Shit.
- Rangers continued the spending spree, locking up Shanahan and King Henry for the upcoming season. Last night while in Uno's on 86th street, some dude said if they Rangers could get D Sheldon Souray, they could make a run for it all. But with all the money they spent this offeseason on two new centers, they better be poised to be in the finals.

Thoughts on the Draft
Sunday, July 1
Thursday nights draft went pretty well if you were a Knicks fan. During the draft, not only did we dump the contract of Stinky Franchise to Portland, but we acquired F Zach Randolph. I think this was a great trade to make for Randolph as we now have a significant low post presence along with Eddy Curry, but also a great chance of a "Make it Rain" riot occurring in the Hustler Club on the West Side Highway. (Note: along with Randolph, the Knicks acquired Fred Jones and Dan "I won't make it rain" Dickau).
-Here's some more info on the Knicks solo selection, out of DePaul, G Wilson Chandler
-The best part of the draft was watching it with my friend Mike from Philly down at the shore. A Sixers fan, Mike was pretty excited with the fact that the Sixers had 3 first round picks, and that hopefully they could package the deal and move up from their spot. Well fortunately enough for me, the Sixers must have allowed David Duke to be substituted for GM Billy King, as it was almost a "Whiteout" in terms of their draft selections. Except for the selection of a black guy named "Thad" from GTech, the Sixers looked like they were drafting for the Flyers with the influx of Satellite State players. But eventually, some of these Finnish Defensemen were traded for other players, and even for "Cash." With every pick coming close, I could only hope that the Sixers would draft Josh McRoberts, which didn't occur.
-Other Highlights from watching the draft with Mike from Philly
Mike (In the late stages of the second round): This has been a bad draft for us
GWH: Good thing Teppo Numinen didn't declare himself draft eligible
Mike: Jared Jordan looks like Eddie Munster.
GWH (Early 2nd round): Do you think "Stanko Barac" realizes the self-fulfilling phophecy?
Mike: Could you imagine Steven A. at the dinner table? "I THINK IT WOULD BE A SAGACIOUS MOVE FOR YOU TO PASS THE PEAS! PLEASE PASS THE PEAS! NOOO NOT THE CORN. I COULD NT BEGIN TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU WOULD REACH FOR THE CORN! IM FLABBERGASTED BY THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE!
GWH (to the 40-something Mike): If they had a bio on you, it would say "Must Improve: AGE".
Mike: Where do you think Milwaukee was on the list for approved cities for Yi?
GWH: Right below Tiannamen Square
