Thursday Morning Monologue - July 7, 2011

Happy Thursday, sports fans! You all like sports, right? I hope so.

Speaking of sports, Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is suing his ex-girlfriend to get back the engagement ring he gave her. These days, that's the only way a Cowboy can get a ring.

And Roger Clemens' perjury trial got underway for statements he made about his steroid use. When asked for comment, Clemens said "Clemens mad! SO MAD!" before eating a camera.

In international sports news, the International Olympic Committee voted yesterday on the location of the 2018 Winter Olympics. To put it into Olympics terms, it was the Competitive Bribery event.

Pop singer Jordin Sparks will sing the National Anthem at this year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game. She's been preparing all week with a strict steroid regimen.

Elsewhere in baseball, Derek Jeter is nearing the 3000 hit mark. Former baseball legend and prodigious hitter Pete Rose said, "I bet he can do it. D'oh! That's not what I meant... Oh, never mind."

In football news, Brett Favre said he may be returning to football next season, leading to speculation that he has amnesia. And, he knows about the lockout, right?

Speaking of lockouts, both the NFL and NBA are facing lockouts for next season, which is great news for the college funds of the children of gambling addicts. Just kidding! They don't have college funds.

And lastly, in news of the insane, anticipation is high in Spain for this year's running of the bulls. Participants have been training by taunting Roger Clemens and Jordin Sparks.

Well, that's all for me this week, but I'll see you again on Monday. Spencer is in tomorrow, so stop by for his funny business. And have a great day!

  1. Usually I have a lot to say about lock outs but finally it's two sports I can take or leave! I'm madder about the cancellation of Friday Night Lights than I am about an NFL lock out.

  2. Yeah, FNL's loss is pretty heartbreaking. It even got cancelled in reruns on ABC Family. That's a kick in the junk if ever I've seen one.

  3. What the hell? ABCF took one look at it and was all, "Crap, we can't show this! It's WAAAAAAAYYY to good for our network. People will be confused."

  4. It wasn't getting ratings enough to justify showing it at 6pm on weekdays. Ouch. They replaced it with that Damon Wayons show, "My Wife and Kids." Double ouch.

  5. Because with that turd if you've got 2 people watching it you're already busting expectations and at any time on the clock at least 2 stoners are stuck on ABC Family trying to figure out if this is the show with the cute underage chicks on it.
