DLD 11-28-09 Bippity, Boppity, Bobby...or, if we wrapped Bobby Crosby in bacon, would he be more desirable?

Ok my AN friends, this is my first DLD ever, so please, a little mercy if I fall woefully short.
I assume most everyone read this article, ESPN, about our Duke. I particularly like how the organization responded to this situation. It seems we are usually villainized by ex-players or we get skewered in our handling of players....like Bobby Crosby! Duke, if you are reading this, please resign with us!
Do you think if we wrapped Bobby Crosby in Bacon someone would want him?
The new Hall of O.K.ness nominees have been announced. WTF?! (What The Fame). Seriously? Todd Zeile? And Robbie Alomar leads the pack. That really makes me sick because to me it was painfully obvious he "bulked up" when everyone else was "bulking up" but because he did not break a hallowed home run record, he is the leading favorite to get into the hall. A less than inspiring bunch. Hey, Walt Weiss has been out of the league for a while. That would make for great conversation 50 years from now: "Hey Grandpa, look at this plaque. Who was "Walt Wess"? "What, oh, sorry, I was over here leaning against a bust of the great Todd Zeile catching my breath"
Failblog.org here Now this is what has been keeping me occupied in the off-season. Did anyone else have a big hot steaming pile of cake for Thanksgiving?
Many questions surrounding Tiger Woods this morning, who was in an early morning solo crash. Like "What was he doing driving out of his driveway at 2 in the morning?" Personally, I would like to know why he is not driving a Buick? WTF! (What the F&^%?) I bought this piece of crap Roadmaster because Tiger said Buick is cool, and he is out mowing the neighbors trees in the wee hours of the night in a Caddy! I feel used. And if this was my wife, unless she was demanding ice cream at 2 in the morning I WOULD NOT be leaving the house!
And last but not least, the obligatory goat photo for my good friend Nico, who I missed at the canned food drive in Berkeley the other day due to work considerations. 
And I will leave you with an old favorite, Eddie Izzard, who is coming to Oakland's Oracle Arena next month. CAUTION! There are bad words in this video!!!!
Dump Dumper Dumpiest! Let the dumpage ensue!

Yeah I doubt she looks like that all the time though
This Tiger accident seems to be the most overblown news story in the world right now.

Tiger Woods
He is arguably the most popular athlete in sports.

....and aparently
one of its worst drivers.
Has he been hanging out with Isiah Rider?

Tiger has some explaining to do
I think he is the biggest athlete in the world and as a golfer I love watching him play but this whole thing smells a bit fishy.
He no longer has a deal with Buick so he’s safe there and as far as Bobby Crosby….
I do not want him in bacon I do not want him in ham I do not like him sirbed-I-am.
I don't see why he needs to explain anything?
He’s not a politician, no-one has been hurt or killed…
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does
Tiger sells himself for millions of dollars each year
and his image is a big part of that plus do you really think the media is just going to let this go? There is no way he can just stonewall this and he’s way too smart to think he can.
When you make your self a public figure you lose your privacy and whether or not that’s fair really doesn’t matter because it’s just the way it is.
Yep.
He doesn’t have to explain anything… unless he wants to keep his image and endorsement contracts intact.
Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you. ~Reggie Jackson
well, that's one thing - if it's a credibility issue, fair enough
but we, the people, have no inherent right no know if no crime was committed. He’s become a popular figure in no small part because of his talent; his not made, to the best of my understanding, promises about his intregity, or place in society, or whatnot.
Also – if he loses some sponsership money for a couple of years? eh. I’m sure he’ll get over it.
Though, if I were Derek Jeter or Roger Federer, I’d be checking my back at the moment – it’s been a bad couple of weeks for Gilette shills
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does
to clarify, I mean
If no crime was commited, we have no inherent right to know further details.
Obviously, we have a right to know if a crime was committed or not (and there’s been no suggestion at all that there was, either)
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does
Tiger has never been a great driver. I'm looking forward to his recovery shot.

I don't have any problem with Alomar in the HOF
There are so few great 2B in there. Are you taking the position that because McGwire’s not in the Hall that no one else from that era should be? I don’t see where that gets us anywhere. Alomar will get strikes against him for the spitting and the eventful personal life, maybe that’s just as bad as being in Canseco’s book.
Pictures
Is the turkey cake a fail because it looks like a turd or because it looks like a penis? Or is it because it manages the extra-special feat of looking like a turd and a penis at the same time?
The best thing about that picture of Tiger’s wife is the position of her hand combined with the look in her eye. Sure, the rest of her looks lovely, too, but what really makes me smile is that hand. (The grass in the mouth is cute, too.)

I've had nights like that
good job I don’t play golf anymore. Horrible sport.

hey it's a great sport
of course I’m bats**t crazy and I’ve been playing since I was 5 so it’s in my blood at this point.
Definitely cock.

So it's the extra-special feat then?

You think he should have been fired a year before he was hired?
Man, that’s taking the doctrine of “at-will employment” to entirely new heights.

It all makes sense now.

Pretty much anything wrapped in bacon is more desirable, but...
…you’re making me re-think this with the BroCro angle.

Love the first comment on your link
My heart skipped a beat (mostly in anticipation of the impending angioplasty).
Hey Al, just go away, baby.
ooo I didn't know you could buy a bacon explosion
I thought you had to weave it yourself. Christmas presents for everyone!
I think I saw a movie about that once
oh no, did I saw that outloud?
