Daily FAF Smear June 13th

The one where we “Raviele” in our greatness….

The NHL crowned its champion last night, with the Pittsburgh Penguins winning their 3rd Stanley Cup. The Penguins knocked off the Red Wings 2-1 last night in game 7. It went down to the wire, with Penguins goalie Fleury making a monster save with his chest in the dying seconds to preserve the win.

Detroit can’t catch break right now. GM hemorrhages money, rapes and pillages the American taxpayer, and then files for bankruptcy, in the biggest, “I Guess We Really DO Suck After All!” in history. The Lions just implode all over themselves, and then they’re on the hook for $41 million to Stafford (hope they saved some of the bailout money for a rainy day). Now, their one legimitate team, who even won the Championship, lose it at home in Game 7 when they were largely favored. Sucks to be you Detroit.

Septy Rexy made an interesting point as we watched the game. There is no other sporting maneuver like pulling the goalie. It has pretty much instant impact, with the extra man only having about 20 yards to cover before he’s able to get into the action. Soccer goalie’s often come up for a corner kick if a desparate goal is needed:

June 12th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and John Daly)

I came to L.A. to make rock n’ roll.  Along the way I had to sell my soul.

Show us your tits!

John Daly is an everyman’s hero.  I have no problem stating that in print.  Say it to yourself or scream it from the roof tops, “John Daly is my hero.”

As I write this, Daly is in the middle of his second round at the St. Jude Classic after shooting a 72 in the opening round.  Don’t call it a comeback… yet.  In fact, it may not be a comeback at all.  This is a whole new Daly.  Same gut, same swing, same smoke slowly exhaling as he walks the course, but definitely a whole new look.

We can all relate to a man that gets drunk and passes out at Hooters.  Who hasn’t been there before?  Who doesn’t want to pass out in hooters.  They’re so warm and cozy and pillowy… wait, what are we talking about again?  Oh, John Daly, that’s right.

Fourth and Fifty fully throws our support behind this giant among caddies.  Good luck, this afternoon, John.

In other news and reminders:

• Lakers over Magic last night in the most exciting game of the series.  I was really hoping that Pau Gasol would have taken a swing at Pietrus at the end of the game.  That was a cheap foul for no reason.
• Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.  Win and the cup is your personal goblet for a day.  Lose and let the ice freeze your tears as they meet the surface.
• Eagles… You are idiots.  IDIOTS!!  I’m not saying that you need to ditch Donovan McNabb for Kevin Kolb (though I wouldn’t have minded) but, don’t restructure McNabb’s contract just for the sake of it when he has two years left.  Who is going to pay for the dent in my wall left from the D-cell I just threw?  Can I get $5.3M to repair the damage?
