Awesomeness
This weekend, in San Diego, we had our second ever Wiffle Ball Homerun Derby Challenge. This was the first time we had used official Wiffle Ball equipment, so we were all a little anxious. Things started out normal that day. Snake told everyone how they would bow to him and he was the greatest thing since seeing himself on game film during high school football. Donk and I both laid claim that we would walk away victorious but our trash talking never quite reached the status of Snakes. Then again, not many peoples can. Glista was his usually hippie self and didn’t say much, he just wanted to play. Then there is Loeffler, the hard hitter from Missouri who often thinks of himself in highest capacity, so we knew he expected to win and he thought of this as a man playing with boys. Things would prove not that easy at all…After taking some batting practice that looked more like blind folded children swinging at a piñata, we decided to get the game under way. Up first was Don, who knocked out 2 homeruns and set the bar for the game. I came up next and also hit 2 homeruns. Loeffler added 1 and Donk and Snake rounded out the first round with goose eggs. Don and I advanced to the finals where I subsequently won it because Snake dropped a homerun that should have been an out. Thanks again Snake. The next game, I joined Snake and Donk as they continued their downward spiral by putting up 2 more goose eggs. I feel my bad performance in game 2 was a direct result of being a little too awesome in game 1. It happens. Don once again found himself in the finals, but like a postman on Sunday, he was unable to deliver. Loeffler ended up winning game 2 with a towering shot over the head of the Donk.
Now there were 2 players that put up goose eggs and most would consider that a sorry performance. I would agree with most. But I have to say that Donk was a step ahead of Snake because of the way he played in the field. Donk had soft hands/hooves and made a bunch clutch plays. One of which he jumped and robbed me of a homerun. I would say that Donk gets the Golden Glove award for his performance. Since we weren’t using gloves and Donk has no hands, we will be giving him the Golden Hoof award. Way to go Donk!
Snake, on the other hand/hoof, played so terrible that it is going to be hard to explain. First of all, I was the pitcher and he did not hit 1 ball past me the entire two games. All he could do was look at me and say “what is happening?” in a soft, sad whisper of a voice. It was like he had never heard of baseball and never seen anyone swing a bat. His swing was so terrible that I am willing to bet he could not have done better with a tennis racket. When he went to swing, his back foot stepped backwards, his front foot inwards and he swung and pulled his head so far around I thought it was going to spin the like in The Exorcist. After 2 games, we decided to call it a day. I guess we will have to wait until the trip in May to see what happens when Leofler and I go head to head. Snake, do us all a favor and go the batting cages because your lack of skills is MAKING ME SICK! no comments

Now for all of us who have reused a towel, we've pondered.."Did I just dry my face with the part of the towel that I went to town on my crack with lastnight???" This will eliminate that dilemma. The different color square is designated for your crack and ball bag so there isn't any cross contamination with your face. Stay tuned to ThunderTreats in the future to purchase one these with your favorite sports team on the main part and your most hated team on the ass square. That will teach them for beating you in the playoffs last year. no comments
I understand that Mosley is part of Hopkins camp, but was it really necessary for B-Hop to stand up the entire fight from the 5th row and ruin the fight for people that probably paid $10k for their seats. Rambo and the Terminator sat still for the whole fight from the front row. I guess his stint in the clinker didn't teach him much about society and other people in this world. To top it off B-Hop climbed into the ring, fought his way through trainers, family members, and reporters to put his ugly mug on tv without saying a word. I'm not an expert on this but I'd expect my father or trainer or one of my 3 kids by my side at that moment, not the most annoying person out of the 20k in attendance.I'm not sure what to think about this fight with the controversy surrounding Mosley because of BALCO and admitting to using in the past to the most recent mishap with Margarito and illegally taping his hands with plastic pieces. Mosley fought one hell of a fight. No one expected the underdog to show up fighting like a 25 year old again. He was too fast and too prepared for Margarito. Margarito turned to throwing wild punches and taking right hooks to the ear to battle back in this fight. What impressed me the most about this fight was Margarito's ability to take those huge right hooks to the ear. If you've ever got hit in the ear , you know what I'm talking about. He took his beating like a man. Was all but done at the end of the 8th, but went back in to be finished off. Much more respectable that throwin the towel in like that pussy De La Hoya. no comments

As many of you know, #14 is undoubtedly the greatest jersey number of all time. In honor of its greatness, I give you, the 14 greatest athletes to ever wear the #14.
14. A.J. Foyt - I really don't know anything about racing cars, but apparently this guy pisses excellence. He is the only driver to win the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Whatever that means.
13. Y.A. Tittle - A two-time league MVP as a QB in the NFL, Tittle was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1971. He also earns the honor as having the best name of anyone to wear the #14. I mean his first name is Yelberton - awesome.
12. Don Hutson - Hutson is credited as being a major part in the creation of the forward pass while playing WR for the Packers. A rare Hutson #14 jersey turned up recently, valued at over $17,000. That's $16,995 more than a Packers Brett Favre jersey is worth.
11. Thierry Henry - Again, I don't know much about soccer, but this French dude apparently can ball. For anyone who doesn't know who he is, think Gillette commercials. He's the other guy with Tiger Woods and Roger Federer.
10. Vinny Testaverde - He wore the famed #14 while playing QB for the Miami Hurricanes. Vinny had some success while playing for 47 different teams during his 31 year NFL career. He is better remembered for his time as a Cleveland Brown, where his color blindness led to the nickname Vinny Interceptaverde.
9. Dan Fouts - A Hall of Fame QB as a member of the San Diego Chargers, Fouts is one of only a handful of QB's with back to back 30 TD seasons. He also holds the title for best facial hair of anyone to wear #14.
8. Bob Cousy - 13-time NBA All-Star while playing point guard for the Boston Celtics, Cousy is a member of the NBA's 50th anniversary team, made up of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.
7. Otto Graham - One of the greatest Cleveland Browns of all time, Graham was a 5-time Pro-Bowl selection as well as a 10-time All-Pro selection. On top of being an unbelievable quarterback, Graham also won a NBA championship as a member of the Rochester Royals. Bo Jackson couldn't hold this dude's jockstrap.
6. Ernie Banks - Mr. Cub is an 11-time MLB all-star famous for saying, "Let's Play Two". He won the NL MVP awards in back-to-back seasons and is considered one of the greatest baseball players of all-time.
5. Oscar Robertson - "The Big O" averaged a freaking triple-double for an entire season. He was so good, his nickname was stolen to describe an orgasm. I really don't need to say anything else.
4. Ty Detmer - Why is Ty Detmer so high on this list? Detmer wore the #14 while dominating college football for BYU, where he threw for over 5,100 yards and 41 touchdowns on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy during the 1990 season. But he is number 4 on the list because he is a major part of one of my favorite sports quotes of all time. On September 23, 2001, Detmer was the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions as they traveled to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Detmer threw 7 interceptions in the game which led to Crazy Carl screaming "We got the record!" over and over again from the top of Cleveland Browns Stadium. It doesn't get any better than that.
3. Pete Rose - So the guy liked to gamble a little bit. Big deal. He is baseballs all-time leader in hits, outs, games played, at bats and was all around awesome.
2. Trevis Kurz - The guy was a pitchers nightmare, with a bat like Jack Parkman. Unfortunately for him, he played in the same era as the guy at #1 on this list.
1. Mike Zampini - What can you say about this guy. He was a dominating C/1B on the baseball diamond, a feared RB/LB on the gridiron and one of the greatest golfers of his time. His athletic skills as a three sport star were unmatched. During gamedays at Ohio State, thousands of fans can be seen wearing the infamous #14 Zampini jersey.
With the super bowl right around the corner I couldn’t help but to find myself thinking back to my childhood and remembering all the times I watched this great game. While I was taking this trip down memory lane it made me wonder WHAT HAPPEN TO THE BUD BOWL? I can’t speak for everyone but for me I paid just as much attention to this game then I did the super bowl. I did some research and the last bud bowl was super bowl 1997, wow I’m getting old. In 1998 they brought in the Iguanas and Frogs to take over. Budweiser leads the series 5-1 over Bud Light. The Bud Bowl was great entertainment and something off the wall always happen. BRING BACK THE BUD BOWL!!!
