FANTASY BASEBALL 2006: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF (AL), OF (NL) 2006 FANTASY NASCAR DRIVER PREVIEW: Where does your driver rank???THE 'EDGE' IS COMING: Coming soon to KACSPORTS #20 v. #17... KENSETH ON STEWART: 'He worried about everybody's safety and taking about people dying and going way overboard with it. If you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk. It's one thing to criticize everybody if you're perfect, but not one of us is perfect.' STEWART ON KENSETH: 'Matt always thinks that. I guess Matt didn't think anything when he got me sideways either. He should have thought about that first. But I got penalized but they didn't penalize him. He has no room complain. He started the whole thing, and I finished it.' (NASCAR.COM) FIVE YEARS LATER: It was thought that the passing of Dale Earnhardt would be a dagger to NASCAR, but today stock car racing is flourishing like never before, find out why in TODAY'S KACSPORTS BLOG.  THE AGONY OF VICTORY??? Here is visual proof that Shani Davis did indeed raise his arms in triumph yesterday after winning the gold medal. However if you watched the NBC broadcast and his post-race interview with Melissa Stark, you'd think ol' Shani had just gone through a root canal. Something about Chad Hedrick being pissed about him not entering some pursuit race that I never knew existed until about three days ago. Actually I think Shani's Mom told him not to enter. Barring something crazy at the Daytona 500, I will have more on this developing WWF-style tiff in my blog tomorrow.GUESS SOMEONE CAN TOUCH HER: In case you didn't know who Lindsey Jacobellis was until yesterday, she was the snowboarder featured in the credit card commercial. Perhaps the coach should had told her that she would had been accessed $39 service charge if she blew the gold medal with that final unnecessary jump. US WOMEN'S HOCKEY LOSES: Maybe Angela Ruggiero should worry about her own team next time instead of about Canada running up the score. Sweden ends U.S. monopoly of the sport, shutting out the Americans in the last 49 minutes of regulation, as well as the overtime shootout.AHAMD CARROLL ARRESTED: Now has a blotter record just like the other 'Batman' on the Packers. Cop pulls taser out on Carroll after altercation with bouncer at a bar. NFL DRAFT HOPEFUL FOUND WITH HEAVY ARTILLERY: Police are investigating three members of last year's Florida Gators squad in connection with a gunshot that was fired into an aparmtent building. Officers found an AK-47 and an AR-15 in the apartment of cornerback Dee Webb, according to a police spokesman. Allegedly, a shot was fired into a nearby apartment occupied by two women. A witness told police he had seen Webb and three other men in the vicinity when gunshots were heard. Two of the men were identified as Andre Caldwell and Reggie Lewis, who are also on the UF squad. Police also found a Mossberg 12-guard shotgun as well as a loaded Smith and Wesson.38-caliber pistol in Webb's vehicle. Webb appeared to be intoxicated and allegely challenged the police to arrest him because he soon 'was going to have a million-dollar contract' The spokesman adds 'It was almost comical' BONNIE BERNSTEIN SETS RECORD STRAIGHT: Still not happy with the reporting and 'rumors' behind her departure at CBS: '"You know what we say, tongue-in-cheek, in our business: 'Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?' Well, this is the quintessential example of that. The funny thing is, the lies being concocted were so out of whack, so farcical, I was waiting to show up on the cover of the Weekly World News, right next to the picture headlined, 'Soap Star Pregnant with Alien Triplets.''  UNNECESSARY AND UNCALLED FOR!!!!! That's what a buddy of mine yelled from the rafters of County Stadium towards Joey Belle in 1996 after he literally tried to KO Fernando Vina trying to break up a double play. Now Joey breaks a long dry spell and is back in the news after being arrested for stalking his girlfriend. Says a spokesman, 'We found out that there was lot going on, and that at some point, at least once, he threatened to kill the victim' I can call him Joey because even if he wasn't in the hokie, he wouldn't be making a run after me tonight because it's getting down to ten below, and besides I'm going to be at a huge beer-keg party, and we know Joey gave up drinking - well at least until he blew a .12 a couple years back. But we will get to find out Belle's real name when the court documents come out. Guess Joey is still crazy after all these years. GPS DEVICE??? Joey allegedly tracked girlfriend with global positioning device. Bell released on $108,000 bail and will also be electronically monitored. JOEY'S HOUSE??? Dare someone to Trick or Treat there, remember the Orioles were STILL paying off his contract until last year.MARINERS MANAGER DISCLOSES HIS OWN QUAIL BEANING: Saying he doesn't understand the furor about the shooting incident involving Vice President Dick Cheney, Mike Hargrove tells the tale of being shot by pitcher Doyle Alexander while quail hunting during his playing days. Hargrove estimates that he was dotted from about 60 feet out, which would be the distance between the mound and home plate. By comparison, the official report says that Cheney got Harry Whittington from 90 feet away (the distance between home and first), although some speculate that Cheney may had been much closer, a theory that may have some merit (depending on the strength of the weapon/pellets) considering that Hargrove obviously wasn't hurt seriously.  U.S. HOCKEY CHICKS CALL OUT CANADA!!! Canada finishes preliminary play 3-0 winning record while outscoring the opposition 36-1. But the Canadians tactics have invited criticism. American defenseman Angela Ruggiero blasted the Canadians for pouring it on their opponents, saying 'I'm upset that Canada has been running up the score, especially against the host nation. There was no need for that. They're trying to pad their stats. Canada is running up the score for whatever reasons - personal, short-term.' The Canadians say that they were only trying to ensure winning the goal differential tie-breaker if that was necessary. REACT: Give Canada a break, people up there spend their hard earned money picking these players for their fantasy pools. Actually, what a lame excuse - they needed to actually lose or tie a good to have to worry about goal differential. I think they had that tie-break ensured when they scored their ninth goal against Italy. Like I said last weekend, 36 goals would be a hell of a month for most NHL teams. Whatever, can't wait for the catfight to begin!!! HUGE LUGE WRECKFEST CONTINUES: The question now has to be asked, was Lowe's Speedway President Humpy Wheeler behind designing this course??? You are looking live (well, at least as live as NBC gets) at Oleg Zherebetskyy, left, and Roman Yazvinskyy after their runner broke and sled flipped over in Turn 16. At first glance, ol' Roman looks like he's just been decrapitated. And if that is his head/helmet it is at a VERY grotesque angle. They say Roman has a concussion but is conscious. I don't know how someone can be beheaded and conscious at the same time but there you go. Meanwhile the American team also crashed but was unhurt, although the two looked about ready to throw at each other. And mind you, we haven't even gotten to bobsled or SKELETON yet. One competitor is calling for the track to be shut down saying 'It's not anymore about medals, everyone fights for life. It's not sport anymore.' That won't be happening, but as Kevin Harvick would say, have plenty of stretchers ready. GERMANS HAVE IT FIGURED OUT THOUGH: But not everyone is stumped by the course, Sylke Otto and two teammates show off their gold, silver, and bronze donuts. American Courtney Zablocki watches medal hopes evaporate. HEDRICK QUEST FOR FIVE DONE: U.S. shut out in 'speedskating pursuit', so Chad won't be able to come away with everything he set out to do. Chad doesn't sound happy that Shani Davis opted out to concentrate on his 1,000 meter quest on Saturday. The Americans were forced to send 48 year-old K.C. Boutiette to the bump instead, and he couldn't keep up his end of the bargain. Meanwhile Eric Heiden was last seen somewhere in Sacto looking for some bubbly to uncork.YOU FALL OFF A HORSE - YOU GET BACK ON!!! Lindsey Kidlow answers the call for Women's Downhill, finishes eighth. TOP SELLING DRIVERS: According to sales on NASCAR.COM: 1. Dale Earnhardt Jr., 2. Jeff Gordon, 3. Tony Stewart, 4. Jimmie Johnson, 5. Kasey Kahne, 6. Dale Earnhardt Sr. (deceased), 7. Rusty Wallace (retired), 8. Mark Martin, 9. Elliott Sadler, 10. Ryan Newman CAPSULES OF 2006 CUP DRIVERSEDDIE SUTTON FELL DOWN IN PARKING LOT??? Before getting into a traffic accident over the weekend, witness told police that Oklahoma St. coach was unsteady on his feet and fell in the parking lot of Gallagher-Iba Arena before entering his vehicle. Sutton refused an ambulance at that scene and insisted on driving. Same witness also reported seeing a bottle of prescription painkillers on the seat of Sutton's SUV. UNDER FIRE: Think Indiana hoops coach Mike Davis doesn't already have one foot out the door??? Earlier this year fans were asked to wear white in a show of unity towards Davis. Another group now wants fans to come out wearing black. Also TEXAS TECH gear is a big seller at the campus bookstore, someone please tell the humanoid fans that ol' Bobby ain't doing too good these days in Lubbock. ALAN WIGGINS JR. SIGHTING??? He plays basketball for USF, who beat San Diego last night. USD coach Brad Holland, who I hear is a little 'Knight-like' had to be restrained after getting a couple technical fouls.NASCAR SEASON OFFICIALLY BEGINS #2: I thought the season began when Tony Stewart bitched yesterday, but the real season doesn't begin until Jimmie Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus gets busted for cheating, I meant being creative. Additional penalties against the #48 team could be announced next week.  BOB BEATTIE CRASH SPECTACULAR: In an incident that won't be seen by many until NBC's prime time coverage tonight, American gold medal contender Lindsey Kildow crashes in terrifying fashion during women's downhill training run. 21-year-old Kildow lost control when a ski slid out as she was trying to get around a gate. Kidlow immediately went into an awkward split with her right knee buckling and slamming against the ground, then flew for 15 feet before landing with her legs 'splayed' awkwardly (never heard the word 'splayed' before but I'm going to imagine it's not good). Ski Patrol had to come in after a couple more crashes Monday, one of which included defending gold-medalist Carole Montillet-Carles. The course was changed recently after some skiers, including Kidlow, complained that it was 'too easy'. SLIDER ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY: Samantha Retrosi taken away in an ambulance after frightening crash during luge competition. The 20-year old appeared to be unconscious and sliding underneath her sled as fans waved their arms to summon medical personnel. A drape was pulled across the the track where Retrosi stopped, shielding the view. However the injuries are not as serious as first feared, it's said Retrosi sustained a concussion and 'short-term memory loss'. OLYMPIC CRASH GALLARY
SEVERAL COPS NEEDED TO BRING DOWN A TANK: Tank Johnson charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest during Sunday morning arrest at a Rush St. club. While being issued a citation for obstructing traffic, Johnson reportedly threatened an officer, then resisted and struggled with arresting officers who had to resort to gang-tackling the lineman. Last year Johnson was arrested after authorites found a fully loaded 9 mm Ruger in his GMC Yukon. If this guy can ever go through a whole calender year without getting arrested I might eat my laptop. NASCAR SEASON OFFICIALLY BEGINS: How do we know, Tony Stewart is already bitching - complaining about what he deemed 'dangerous' driving during today's running of the Budweiser Shootout. Says Stewart, 'We're sitting here watching TV before we came down here and they're talking about the tribute to Dale Earnhardt. Well, five years from now we're going to have to do another tribute to another driver because we're probably going to kill somebody from Wednesday through Sunday. It could be me. It could be Dale Jr. It could be anybody out there.' Recent aero packages have created a practice known as bump drafting, a technique where cars run into each other in hopes of creating space to move to the front of the field. LJ EYEING 2,500 YARD SEASON??? Project stats after Priest Holmes got hurt, and it would had projected to 2,400 yards, 28 TD's. TASTY CANADIANS PUT UP 28 IN ONE WEEKEND: That would be an entire months work of goals for the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 24-hour period. Just one day after putting a 16-0 hurting on host Italy, Team Canada routs Russia 12-0 in preliminary round 'action' (at least for one team) in women's Ice Hockey. INTERESTING WEEK FOR K-MART: During a game earlier this week, Kenyon Martin reported sent 'one of his associates' after some fans that were heckling him. Later on K-Mart himself confronted the hecklers with some choice words in front of women and children, and also said something to ESPN's Jim Gray, who was reporting on the incident. Then after a game last night, Martin asked a radio reporter to get away from his locker. Then K-Mart asks a second time, only this time it was something like 'Get the *#(& away from my locker', reporter asks K-Mart what he just said, and Martin curses at him a few more times, reporter swears back at Martin then is removed by security, as the two continued to exchange pleasantries. Myself, if an NBA player were to ask me to step away from his locker, I think I would comply. OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR NOT HAPPY WITH BARKLEY: Sir Charles rips the state, like everything else during TV interview with Hornets rookie Chris Paul. Don't feel bad Gov, you should hear what he says about Milwaukee and Salt Lake. But then again, as Philly native Sonny Liston would say, 'I'd rather be a lamp-post in Philadelphia than the Governor of Oklahoma.' REPLACEMENT NAMED FOR JERMAINE O'NEAL: No, it is not Michael ($91 million, one-trick pony) ReddDENY, DENY, DENY: Wayne and Janet heading to Turin, like nothing's going on - doesn't this seem like the first days of the Pete Rose scandal all over again. DOWNFALL OF CANADIAN ICON???CLARETT INDICTED: Two counts of aggravated robbery along with four 'lesser' charges - could face 26 years in the hole. Clarett denied the charges in a statement issued by his lawyer, who says 'Mr. Clarett intends to fight this indictment with the same vigor and resolve he displayed in taking OSU to a national championship'. Either that or with all the hard-headed stupidity he's displayed since. QUIN SNYDER OUT AT MIZZOU: Mike Krzyzewski prodigy took Tigers to Final Eight a few years back, but team has only been 42-42 since and school has also been dogged by off-court trouble. Expectations were also high with building of new arena. |
