If anyone pulled a Patrick McDermott while I was away, I don't blame you. I would've done the same thing if I were stuck alone with Bird for 4 days. Sorry 'bout that.
Here are some of the things I thought about on my flight back to Pittsburgh:
- L.T. and O.J. should be un-enshrined from the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. Ben's an idiot, but he's a monk compared to those two jackasses.
- I saw several Nicaraguan children playing soccer on a basketball court. Maybe they hate the NBA as much as I do.
- Hey DeSean, as long as Andy Reid's around, it doesn't matter who your quarterback is.
- Hindsight is 20/20, but anyone with an ounce of scouting ability should've known Jamarcus Russell was going to be horrendous. You can't teach someone to read defenses after they make it to pros. Just ask Kyle Boller. (Are you kidding me?)
- Jamarcus has had a Hall of Fame career compared to Kimbo Slice
- The "Guantanamera" song that they sing in Latin America is really catchy. It's even better when you substitute the words "One-Ton Tomato" instead. ..I eat'a One-Ton Tomataaaa..
- I bet Dallas Braden will throw a no-hitter sometime soon. The kid's due.
Anyway, it's good to be home. I loved my time in Nicaragua, but since I don't speak a lick of Spanish, I grew very frustrated at times because I couldn't comprehend what they were saying.
(Here's the "After" picture I promised you. Still have a ways to go.)
