Hall of random bronze heads?
Thursday, February 12th, 2009Joe Posnanski at SI is arguing that steroids should not prevent a player from entering the Baseball Hall of Fame. At this point, I am finding it harder and harder to disagree with him. I mean what the hell is the Hall of Fame anyway? Is it like some kind of time capsule so that if aliens came down from another planet we could show them our best players ever? Who exactly are we preserving these legacies for? In 500 years, I highly doubt that anyone will give a rat’s ass about some statues that will be a mile under the Atlantic ocean. By that time, our “national past time” will be transporting our cocks through time and space and gathering vagina dust to power our zeeble nabbers.
Is Kurt Warner a HOF QB?
Thursday, January 15th, 2009
I dont know why I was thinking about Kurt Warner again, but I can’t help but wonder, is KW a hall of famer? He has a ring and 2 MVPS, plus he is top 5 all time in efficiency and completion percentage. Plus his story is certainly hall of fame material. I can see the ESPN montages already with a young Kurt stocking shelves in Iowa and waiting for his chance to shine. But is he ready for the hall? He is definitely not a first ballot type of player, but if he gets the Cards to the promised land this year, I think that he may just cement himself in an elite group of quarterbacks.
