Yes, I'm picking the San Diego Chargers and yes I am picking them to play the Tampa Bay Bucs in the Super Bowl. Partly because I believe strongly in the ability in Josh Freeman to continue to grow as a QB but mostly because I think that the combination of La Garrett Blount and Josh Freeman will be a dynamic duo that will cause havoc on the NFL. If I'm wrong, the world won't end but if I'm right then the world probably already ended.

Stevie Williams needs a Reality Check

Stevie Williams, Golf Caddie, sooner or later will realize he is a highly paid carrier of a golf bag but Sunday, he chose to launch himself ahead of his new boss and into the spot light by taking a shot at the man who made him rich, Tiger Woods, his former friend and boss who fired him as his caddie two weeks ago. Mr. Williams has gone on a media offensive saying the move “Stunned him” and he “wasted two years of his life in support of Tiger” but Sunday after his new boss, Adam Scott, won the World Golf Championship, Mr. Williams forgot what he did for a living during an interview with CBS’s David Feherty:
"I've been caddying for 33 years and that's the best week of my life ... and I'm not joking," ... There were a lot of expectations today. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little nervous. Obviously, Adam was leading the tournament and there was a lot being said this week, so it was great to back it up. ... But honestly that's the best week of my life; I've caddied for 33 years, 145 wins now, and that's the best win I've ever had."
This obvious dig at Tiger Woods for “leaving” him after everyone else ran for the hills due to Mr. Woods’s personal life taking an Atomic bomb like personality of its own. While it is difficult to defend a man who slept with more woman than porn star Sasha Grey; all Woods did was move on from his past while Stevie Williams as Jim Nantz pointed on Sunday lost touch with the past,” You call that the biggest win of your career after 13 major championships with Tiger Woods and (also) call this the greatest week of your life. ... It's a pretty interesting comment."
Stevie Williams is nothing more than a butler shown pouring drinks on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”. He cleans another man’s balls, washes towels and cleans cleats for a living but after receiving so much from Tiger Woods, Mr. Williams feels that he is owed something more than the millions of dollars in his bank account. William’s rant popped Tiger in the mouth and changed the story from Adam Scott to Stevie Williams and Tiger Woods. When Woods finally wins a tournament so will name his caddie by name and call him the greatest Caddie he has ever had.
There have been plenty of Stevie Williams’ types throughout history, Tonto comes to mind; and since being the “Robin” was not good enough for Mr. Williams, he joined a long group of former “friends” that have turned their back on the famous golfer. It’s amazing how when someone is on top of the mountain, nobody questions them, but at the first sign of an avalanche everyone is quick to light another stick of dynamite. What Williams forgot the most is that HE HAS NOT WON ANYTHING, HE’S A CADDIE!
Sunday, Stevie Williams lost his voice in the media and today he is the story but like other “sidekicks” when his TMZ fame fades and the cameras are gone; he’ll still be Steve Williams, “Current PGA Caddie for Adam Scott” and Tiger Woods will still be Tiger Woods, owner of 13 Majors and the greatest golfer of all time.

Almost to Rock Bottom

The Chicago Cubs are the 2nd worst team in baseball and soon, after they completely implode versus the Astros this weekend, they will be the worst. As a Cub fan, I’m horrified at how terrible this team actually is especially considering how bad the NL Central actually is. I was under the impression at the beginning of the season, the Cubs could compete in the NL Central based on the following: Starting pitching and the bullpen + a free agent highlight reel for Aramis Ramirez along with an upstart first time manager Mike Quade who lead the team to one of the best records during the last 8 weeks of the season. I bought into the irrelevant run the team went on just like the organization did and despite all my belief, injuries to the rotation early in the season left the team one step behind and despite an okay 11-11 start, the team faltered with re-tread starters like Doug Davis to where we stand today, awful baseball.
Do I believe that if Wells and Cashner don’t get hurt early, the team is better; no, as while I expected Wells and Cashner to be decent 4th and 5th starters, I also expected Mike Quade to worry less about nicknames and more about managing a ballclub.
Today topped the cake as he decided it was more important to call out Starlin Castro (Cassie) and Darwin Barney (Barn) regarding a pop fly lost in the sun than blame Dempster for his rocky, slow performance. He blamed the lack of energy on two players for a 9-1 loss to one of the best teams in the NL, when really he is the reason there is no energy.
“I was disappointed with the start [of the game]," Quade said. "And I needed to talk to kids in the middle of the diamond about that. We set a bad tone, [losing a] ball in the sun. [They] are communicating all the way. But I look back at this whole game and look at that play. The sun's been in the same spot for however long Wrigley Field's been here. Those are the kind of mistakes & there are some you accept. Others have to be taken care of."
Quade should had been calling out players in spring training, on opening day or during the first month of the season, not on July 20th, instead he was too busy giving nicknames to players like Rodrigo Lopez (Lope), Doug Davis (Dougy), Jeff Baker (Bake), Lou Montanez (Monty) and Koye Hill (Hilly). Even the third base coach Ivan Dejesus has a nickname (Zeus). Here are the rest of his silly names: Dougy - Doug Davis. Marm – Marmol, Sori – Soriano, Wellsey – Wells, Cassy – Castro, Fuke – Fukudome, Woody – Wood, Marsh – Marshall, Bake – Baker, Colve – Colvin, Hilly – Hill, Russ – Russell, Cash – Cashner, Z – Zambrano. Demp – Dempster, Rammy – Aramis, Sote – Soto, Zamarge - Jeff Samardzija, Monty - Lou Montanez, Barn - Darwin Barney, Garz - Matt Garza, Zeus – Ivan DeJesus, Carp – Carpenter.

Q needs to worry less about a new nickname for the next re-tread and start to find a way to get his players to player better baseball. I know that seems like it could be a tough call but there is more than on this roster and there is no way they should be 21 games under .500. Then again, sometimes the only way to resolve a tough situation is to start from scratch and only rock bottom, worst team in the majors would do such a trick.

Here’s hoping that the Pat Gillick rumors are true and sooner despite their record, Q will be saddened that Gilly let him go after only 1 season as “manager” of the Cubs.
Next time: With Hendry all but fired; the best GM candidate may be someone already in the front office.
