The Week from A to Z

Every week we'll be giving you the biggest news in Alphabet form. It's kinda like us helping you catch up on the week after you've been out partying and getting trashed on Saturday Nights. Don't worry, that hang over will go away soon after a few bottles of water...

A is for Alex Rodriguez, who continued his trip to future baseball Hall of Fame status by knocking out his 500th homerun on Saturday, becoming the youngest player to hit 500 by 330 days over Jimmie Foxx (who?).

B is for Bare-Roid, who made some homerun history of himself, tieing the all-time record of 756 by you-know-who. Whether these homeruns were tainted or require asterisks because of steroid allegations remains to be seen. Epic Carnival did us the favor of linking to everyone's opinions, including my own. (Epic Carnival, More Credible)

C is for co-ed living, which can be really cool and also really dangerous. Especially if you dig breasts. (Our Book of Scrap)

D is for Doberman on the Diamond, who gives us a heads up for what rookies to watch out for this upcoming NFL season (outside of the guys who were drafted in the first round).

E is for Erin Andrews best pictures. Okay, serious question, we all know how famous Erin is in the blogosphere and by the average Joe sports fan. How much do you think it would cost for her to go Lisa Guerro (NSFW) on the world? I think she'd make some bo-donka bucks if she posed for Playboy.

F is for fantasy football, but most importantly the Tank Johnson Desert Classic. It's a cool concept for a league, which includes some of the biggest sports bloggers out there (Guys from Deadspin, Dan Shanoff, Kissing Suzy Kolber, With Leather, and of course, the Nation of Islam Sports Blog). The fact Yahoo! Sports is reporting it is pretty badass too, but sucks all at the same time. Why? Because they're a bunch of pussies and don't cuss. Or say what everyone really wants to hear. Or has strippers/hot girls on all of their posts like me. Or us bloggers I should say.

G is for Robbie Gordon, who's been suspended by NASCAR for refusing to surrender his position on the pole. Hehe. Just read that again, that just never sounds right. He must've been very comfortable on that pole. Oh NASCAR and your homosexual innuendos. You silly-Billys.

H is for the NFL Hall-of-Fame game that kicks off tonight in Canton Ohio. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing last seasons upstart New Orleans Saints in a game that won't matter, and by the second quarter, you'll be seeing the guys that picked up your trash last Thursday on the field. (Kissing Suzy Kolber)

I is for idiotic, which is how I feel for missing this letter earlier in the post.

J is for Derek Jeter, who is so good looking. Dreamy. Hunky. Opinionated... what? Wait. Opinionated? Oh, is it about Gary Sheffield? Fuck that guy. (Nyger Please)

K is for a killer week, which is what the Deuce of Davenport had. They uncovered Ray Lewis' "should've been" debut in a TNA event, Washington Redskin's Casey Rabach's larger than life nutsack, and how you can get in touch with ex-boxer Larry Holmes. There are some brilliant fucking minds over there on that site. It's a shame I'll have to kick their ass in the first week of the Epic Carnival Blogger's Fantasy League. (Deuce of Davenport)

L is for looking good, which is how you'll feel if you take a limousine to the Super Bowl. All err, Some entourages are welcome... (Shakedown Sports)

M is for Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is talking yet more trash. Phillips from Rumors and Rants has a great post about Mayweather's fighting style and well... pretty much puts the dude in his place. I won't lie, I like Mayweather because he does enjoy talking shit, his father looks like the predator, he's nicknamed "Pretty Boy", and he comes out to fights in diamond clad sombreros. If that isn't a sign of "balls", I don't know what does.

N is for NESN, ESPN's second favorite broadcasting station outside of their own. Yes, we know that your beloved Red Sox should be in the news every week but the spinoffs you're creating for them are even pissing off your own fanbase. (One More Dying Quail)

O is for Lorena Ochoa, who won her first LPGA major of her career, by dominating the field by four shots. Ochoa is an easy choice for Player of the Year and "Woman that could be attracted by guys like me with that Nice Ass." Oh, I made that award up... sorry if you were expecting a link.

P is for correct pronunciations. Whatever happened to the days of the easy names in sports? We're not fucking geniuses. I should've feel like blood is going to come out of my mouth everytime I say "Samardjiza". By the way, that was a great decision for him going into baseball. He put relish on my chili dog the other day at the Redfish game. They've got Thirsty Thursdays over there. (Ghosts of Wayne Fontes)

Q is for Brady Quinn, who is holding out... like a jackass. (No surprise!) Brady thinks because he should've been a top 3 pick, that he should be paid top 3 money. Hmm... problem? He was drafted 22nd in the draft, which was probably a gift anyways because the Browns traded away a future first rounder to snag him. They kept him from looking like a bigger idiot than he already was, and this is the thanks they get. Have fun with that clipboard young man and enjoy Charlie Frye getting destroyed out there. (With Leather)

R is for Rhain Davis, the 9 year old soccer phenom who was signed by Manchester United earlier this week to play for their junior squad. Wayne Rooney anyone? (Who ate all the Pies?)

S is for soccer injuries, including the world's best Ronaldinho and America's uhh... newest favorite(?) David Beckham. You know what though... Good Ole' Wayne never gets injured. He injures others. He is one bad dude, especially with a bottle in his hand.

T is for Tom Glavine, who will be attempting to make his own baseball history by eclipsing 300 wins today versus the Chicago Cubs.

U is for ultimatums, with Adam Best from Pacman Jonesin' looking into all of the recent sports ultimatums. Oh, did I mention this guy was a Pearl Jam fan? Very sexy. (Pacman Jonesin')

V is for violent confrontations, which are pretty normal in college football rivalries. Especially the top 10 Rivalries of all time. (Epic Carnival via Nyger Please)

W is for Winning the Turnover Battle, that introduces us to some sports hotties that alot of us aren't completely familiar with yet. Erica Blasberg I was, considering she made my Top 9 World's Hottest Golf Chicks a while back.

X is for the X Games, which I wouldn't give a shit about if it weren't for Jake Brown's 50 foot plunge off of a "big air" ramp. I know you've seen the footage. But here it is again:


How do his shoes explode from his feet like that? And how does he not injure himself more than he did? It's really amazing this dude was able to walk away from something like this.

Y is for your first college football poll, released by the USA Today. Hey, what a surprise, West Virginia isn't in the top 5. Guess the college experts are finally waking up to the fact that the Big East is a sorry conference and refuse to play defense. Or a real schedule. Yeah. (Loser with Socks)

Z is for Carlos Zambrano, who is making a run at the National League Cy Young boasting a record of 14-7, an ERA of 3.42, and 133 strike outs. Zambrano said today that he's ready to sign a long-term deal with the Cubs. Does that deal include clubhouse brawls with teammates?



Well, I won't lie, I'm happy to have this week done for More Credible. It was a pretty shitty week for us... or well... me, because we were just on the cusp of becoming something pretty cool. You know? Rather than that porn website you're ashamed to tell your parents about. You wouldn't tell them about those websites, but you could tell them about this one. Hey, you don't have to look at this site behind closed doors... I think? Now that I look at it like this... how can I combine porn with sports?

Idea coming!

Update: Starting next week, The Week from A to Z will be posted on Mondays. Why? Because it's the real beginning of the week right? That, and alot of cats don't read blogs on Sunday. Right on brotha'.
