Where have all the Sumlers gone? Long time passing, where have all the Sumlers gone? Long time ago...

Where have all the Sumlers gone? Long time passing... Where have all the Sumlers gone? Long time ago...

Good Morning!

T-minus-49 until “The Mid Valley Classic”

Do you realize for the first time since 2001 there will not be a Sumler on the Rosemead Panther roster?

No truth to the rumor that Mead concludes every team prayer with “…and God Bless Mrs. Sumler.” Considering the last seven seasons there should be…

The NFL is moving the first round of its draft next season to Thursday night, prime time…They didn’t consult with me on this and I don’t like it…Draft Saturday is the best sports day of the year…

Is Tim Tebow and Steve Spurrier much of a story?…Spurrier is bitter and life goes on…what’s the big deal? Why can’t he vote for who he wants to vote for?

I know the chop block is illegal, but what about the slap chop?

When you look at the list of perfect games in baseball history and see it includes Mike Witt, Tom Browning, David Wells, Len Barker, and now Mark Buehrle (fine pitchers not Hall of Famers) you realize its more fluke than anything else…Still pretty cool…

Dewayne Wise’s (.211 career hitter) catch, however, belongs in Cooperstown.

“We competed really well,” Wilson HC Brian Zavala said after his team’s last throw around this week. “It is always nice to have one of your best outings during the last week of summer. The object is to peak at the right time, I hope we can feed off of that.”

I need some names coach…

Clipper first round pick, NBA number one overall pick, Blake Griffin strained his right shoulder during summer league play and needs three to four weeks of rest…Didn’t take long did it?

It’s a curse to be a Clipper…a curse…

Although Chris Wilcox still seems to be collecting paychecks…

What’s happened to ESPN’s Erin Andrews is terrible, but as people rush to defend her as someone who knows her profession I gotta tell you she doesn’t…I’m not saying she doesn’t know how to hold that microphone, look into that camera, and handle that end of it…Its not easy…However, I’ve seen her up close, the woman did not get her job because she knows sports…Sorry to say, unlike Lindsay Soto and Jeanne Zelasko, Andrews is eye candy…sorry…and that still doesn’t make it right for someone to drill holes into her hotel wall…

I didn’t vote Tebow first team SEC pre-season quarterback either…Although I’m told I should support South Pas running back Alejandro Chavez…

Stay thirsty my friends…
