The star of the SGV Shootout; Byron "Yellow Flag" Lopez
Good Morning!
You know how they say; “You don’t sell the steak, you sell the sizzle…”
After Saturday at the SGV Shootout I was up for bid…because I got sizzled. The next few weeks I will be “The Incredible Peeling Man”… (It was a bad call Ripley, a bad call.) If there is a next year for me I will make a note about bringing sunscreen and a sombrero…
All Star weekend for Major League Baseball…Yawn…Although I’m curious to see how Leron Lee does in the home run derby…
Ask three different people and they will give you three different answers about Baldwin Park this fall… “Good, let them keep it that way,” says Braves HC James Heggins.
When people started making arguments for retired Houston Rockets center Yao Ming to be elected to the Hall of Fame, you again come to understand why the Basketball Hall of Fame (in Springfield, Mass.) is meaningless…
And again, the NBA needs its own Hall of Fame if there is going to be credibility…
Arcadia’s Darius Elliot is legit…
Up until Saturday when someone said the name; “Jeter”…I’d say; “Yeah, Gary Jeter former USC defensive lineman who had a nice run in the NFL.”
But after seeing New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter go five for five, including hitting a homerun for hit number three thousand in his career…I became sold…No matter what Scanlan may say, Jeter is awesome…
I should have learned to play the guitar…
Hey, I’m not a guy who sees racism, sexism, or demons at every turn, but I did have to wince a bit when a local figure said: “I’ve been watching the Women’s World Cup, I’m waiting for the Americans to run around in their bras.”
Best nickname to come out of the SGV Shootout? Byron “Yellow Flag” Lopez…
Contrary to the opinions of some fans in attendance, there was not a quarterback present with a stronger arm than USC’s Matt Barkley…
Did collect three free bottles of water at the Shootout…so I guess that sort of compensates for the single chicken wing (minus the sauce) I earned this calendar year according to His Arroyo Baldness…
I hope Ohio State goes 0-40 over the next four years, but Mike Vrabel’s move from the NFL back to his alma mater is a good one.
Not so good of a move for Bengals cornerback Adam ‘Pacman” Jones who was arrested for being drunk in public…
The Dude abides…
