Girl with Eyeblack

Nuggets of Awesome Edition

In which you don’t have to read the smug stylings of ESPN to get what’s going on in the sports world.

• Terrell Owens was finally cut by the Dallas Cowboys.  Pardon me for a moment while I snicker with evil mirth.  Betcha he ends up with Al Davis’ Raiders.
• Shaquille O’Neal told Stan Van Gundy to suck it.
• Mark Cuban is still offering Bill Belichick and Jeff Reed stiff competition for the title of Ultimate Sports Doosh.
• This just in: The University of Florida (affectionately known as FU) still sucks more than Paris Hilton in a sex tape.  UF is seeking permission from the State of Florida to – involuntary shudder time, folks – BURY people on its campus.  I always knew there was something intensely creepy about Gainesville, and it appears my instincts have been vindicated.
• My boy Chris Paul (C!!! P!!! 3!!! Woooo!) has excellent taste in 90’s alternative music.
• It’s well known that the front office of the Arizona Cardinals is full of dooshes (see: Anquan Boldin).  This dooshtastic behavior continues with the ongoing negotiations to retain superawesome not Matt Leinart quarterback Kurt Warner.
• More bad news for my beloved Deuce McAllister – his car dealership in Mississippi has filed Chapter 11. Oh, Deuce. Must I really retire my #26 jersey?
• Conference tournaments for Division I college basketball are on the horizon, y’all.  And with the ACC and Big 12 duking it out amongst themselves prior to meeting in the March Madness Thunderdome (I should know, my fiance will probably be spending March Madness blearily cheering on his K-State Wildcats in the – lowers voice – NIT.)  Girl here is just praying that Cameron and all of its crazies mysteriously disappear for the next 3 weeks.
