Your Weekend in Review

And yet again we have another weekend that solidifies itself in modern history with the 81st Academy Awards and some great stories from sports.

-For starters, the University of Maryland Terrapins came back from a 16-point deficit with the tremendous effort by Grievis Vasquez which merits the Prettiest Performance/Ugliest Actor award. He recorded the first triple-double since 1987, and scored the Terps first 16 points from the field. Wow.

-25 year old Jason Belmonte from Australia is "revolutionizing" bowling by bowling with two hands, and qualifying for a PBA Tour event. He apparently started this trend at 18 months when he first started to bowl, which begs the question, what child bowled with one hand at a year and a half old?

-Most intriguing to me, however, were the rampant homo-erotic comments throughout the entire commentary of the NFL Combine. Now, don't get me wrong - I looove the combine. It's unhealthy for me to have the NFL Network and irresponsible for them to play it on loop all weekend. But in no way does that merit the ridiculous comments about former Maryland TE Dan Gronkowski being a "Dreamboat" and having a "ridiculously chiseled torso" or however they eloquently put it. During the DE Linemen 40-yard time drills they must have said the phrase "fat trunks" like a thousand times. And let's just say that Rich Eisen on my television 24 hours a day got reeeeealllly weeeeird.

On a lighter note there were standout performances by WR Darius Heyward-Bey and QB Pat White in the 40-yard dash, and the LB day solidifies former Texas Longhorn Brian Orakpo as one of the biggest and fastest LBs I've seen since Terrell Suggs. He's a complete animal.

So until next time folks, remember to tune into the beginning of Spring Training baseball on Wednesday so we can enjoy another 9 months of fly-outs and double plays thanks to squealers like Conseco and A-Rod who are going to make the HR/game drop to below the 1987 average
