After all this time, you probably thought I would never blog again. A lot has happened since my last post so I'm here to enlighten you. Mainly I would like to talk about Steeler's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who has gotten himself in a little bit of trouble over the past three weeks. If you haven't heard, Big Ben has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a club in Georgia and is in some deep shit (facing league penalties and a lawsuit). This is the second time Ben has been accused of sexual harassment and although I originally thought the first case was just some gold digger looking for a cheap ticket to easy street, this second case has me doubting Ben's decision making ability. I will always love Big Ben, but I don't necessarily like him right now.
In other news, March Madness has begun and of course we all made a bracket. Many of the Groover Alert authors (except Shay because women don't fill out brackets) are in "Jake's Tourny Group" on ESPN's Bracket Challenge. So far everyone has been screwed by Kansas blowing the big one against Norther Iowa, plus various other upsets that no one saw coming. An example of an upset that no one could predict was Cornell, which is Andy Bernard's alma mater, beating Temple and then going on to beat Wisconsin in the second round. Out of all the Groover Authors in the group, here is how the rankings look as of the first two rounds:
1. Myself 400 pts
2. Mike Pisone 390 pts
3. Jake Butler (AKA Fay West) 380 pts
4. Zach Harr 350 pts
All of this news is in second place to the healthcare reform bill that was passed just yesterday. Barack Obama signed the bill into law yesterday after months and months of getting denied by the Senate. My big gripe with this whole bill is not with what is listed in its over 1000 pages, but that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are on hiatus this week and I will not be able to hear Stewart and Colbert's thoughts on it until next Monday.
Honorable Mention:
Stone Cold Steve Austin was a special guest host on WWE Monday Night Raw two weeks ago and once again he managed to make Vince McMahon's (no relation to Caitlin McMahon)life difficult. On November 9, 1997 Vince McMahon fixed a match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, having referee Earl Hebner call the match in Shawn's favor when Shawn put Bret in his own finishing move "The Sharpshooter". But the funny thing was that Bret never tapped out, resulting in the "Montreal Screwjob". Bret came back a few months ago for the first time since Vince screwed him and he wanted revenge. A minor car accident left Bret's foot broken but that didn't deter him from wanting to face Vince at Wrestlemania 26 coming up on Sunday night. Stone Cold was the overseer of the contract signing for the match and all was normal until the end. After both Vince and Bret signed the contract, Stone Cold revealed to the world that Bret had been faking his injury and has a perfect bill of health. If you're ready for Wrestlemania give me a HELL YEAH!

ReplyDelete#2 Big Ben is a sleeze. But in his defense any semi-attractive woman that enters a dimly lit situation where dancing, alcohol and beer nuts are involved, will be sexually harassed in one way or another. i mean look at me, ive been sexually harassed since i was 8. This woman is a whore.
