Frickin Lockout

I am sick of hearing about Lockouts! The NFL is in the middle of one and the NBA is about to have one. Can you guys just cut out the petty bickering-bitching and just play? Please for the love of God Shut up and play!

Do you remember when sports was fun for everyone? Back in a time before Deion Sanders would make "Business Decisions" on the field. Back when the players hatred towards other team's players was so much it created rivalries? Yes kids Rivalries are almost extinct but it is still a word. Look it up if you don't believe me.


I myself think it is us the fan who is going to get screwed in the end. Yes sir we will wind up paying for the sins of the owners and players.

Example: Let's say The Owners and Players put a new CBA in place. That would mean the owners are paying the players' union more money. Which in turn means prices at the stadium go from way to high to astronomical!. Do you want to pay $15 for a beer at the game? I bet you money you will in the next five years. Joe $32,500 gets to spend more of his hard-earned money to watch these millionaires play and put more in the billionaires pocket. Real classy NFL.


I know the players are fighting for guys past,present and future and that is commendable. My questions is why should the owners have to pay for that? The Players make enough money if they all would agree to hold 2% out of their checks for ( lack of a better term)an old timers fund. Then we they retire they would be eligible for said fund. When you are making $150,000 a game no one is going to be sorry for you if they hold an extra 2% out. Sorry Players.


The thing that gets me is there is plenty of money to go around between players and owners. How rich do you have to get? They are both going to start losing money because they are stubborn jack asses and won't budge an inch.

Are you ready for a logical all be far fetched solution? A solution that would make the game better as well. You know what screw you NFL you don't deserve this solution! IF the USFL or another league wants to take this and run with it,HAVE AT IT!

My solution goes a little something like this,each owner has to put up a prize purse before the game. In each and every game each team has to put up an equal amount. The amount would be set before the season started. After that it is winner take all! They can then divide that amongst the team based on performances of that game. It is simple and it is fair.

It's kind of like Rodeo. In Rodeo If the Cowboy doesn't win; The Cowboy doesn't get paid. It would provide players more incentives to play harder. No more " Buissness Decisions" out there. It would make the game more exciting for the fans,players and owners. It looks like win! win! win! to me~


 Do you have a better solution? If so let me hear from you. Or if you got big boobs let me hear from you too!

WTH

If you are Internet savy at all you know that means What the Hell. I don't want to bust my fellow Internet Geeks buble but in this blog it stands for White Trash Heaven. I know your thinking wait a second Larry where are you going with this? As you very well know there are a few sports that come with a stigmita of being labeled White Trash Sports. Some Exaples are Nascar,Profesinal Wrestling(for purposes of this artcle we will call it a sport) and Roller Derby. I happen to be a fan of all 3! Does that make me the biggest redneck hillbily in Las Colinas? Well,Maybe? However I beg to differ.

Just the other day I was wearing my Kyle Busch hat sitting at Champps. The lady next to me struck a conver asked me who #18 was. When I told her it was a Nascar driver it was conversation over. She said "Oh well nice hat anyway". WTH (In this case What the Hell) does that mean? I do have to give her credit for inspiring me to write this article though.

You see like most good USA, Americans my friends and I share similar interest. So most of my friends all like these WTH sports too. Would it suprise you if I told you most of my friends are college educated with six figure jobs? I know it would shock my gold digging judgmental friend from Champps. It's true, damn true. WTH?

The thing I don't understand is why are these Sports so taboo? I think most people turn their noses up at these sports without even thinking about it. I bet most people that "don't like" these sports have never even watched them! Do you think my gal pal from Champs has ever sit through a 500 race? Or ever watched one episode of Monday Night Raw? How are you going to make an opion based soley on unfair sterotypes? WTH?

Let's take Profesinal Wrestling for example. Is it chesey over dramitic high school B.S with a touch of Howard Stern humor? Of course! Is it the male equivilent to day time Soap Operas? Absolutley? Thinking about it. They both have terrible acting,never ending storylines and crank out more bad episodes then good ones. Yet the loyal fans of both keep coming back for more. Why? Becuse it is entertaining brian candy! Wrestling is considered White Trash but Soap Operas aren't? WTH?


Nascar is next on my list. The sports popularity has grown with HD television but still has that good old boy sport label. I have seen some things at Texas Motor Speedway that what shock and amaze you! Matter of fact I have seen some things out there that my not be fit to write about in this article. Like the hairy ape like gentleman that the state of Texas shaved in his back hair. I've seen a man name buba take out his teeth to do a beer bong. I've seen grown women driving around on a golf cart with the peter meter. I've seen stripper poles at camp sites and people go to jail. I know these things don't defend the stero type but I just wanted to brag a little bit ;). WTH?

Now let's take one my favorites Roller Derby. No you can't watch it on TV but you can check out my favorite derby girls The Dallas Derby Devils @ derbydevils.com. When ever the subject of ROller Derby comes up people think of that 60's chesee that was scripted and on TV. It is nothing like that anymore. Roller Derby is quickly becoming a legimite sport. Then are planning a World Cup later this year. Not to mention everyone I know from Adam to Eve from William Aaron Sebastian Petterson III to Ray Earnhardt Junior jr everyone loves this sport! WTH? Go check Roller Derby out with an open mind and you'll have a grand old time.

So just remember not to judge the next time you see someone wearing a Jimmy Johnson hat or a John Cena tee shirt. You may think WTH look at the WT. Chances are that so called WT is living in WTH and might just write about you on BBSD.

Weiner Mail

Alright, just so I could answer some of your questions, I am breaking myself away from reading Huma Weiner’s latest Twitter DMs to me. That's how much I love you in the Big Bad Posse! I would say I would share some of the messages with you… but come on man, that's not cool! No reason for the Weiners to have two scandals. Let's just say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned on social media.
Now, on to some of those questions….


Hey guys,
I just wanted to know where you see Vince Young winding up in 2011?
-UTJake

*One shameless plug coming right up*

Well Jake, obviously you must not listen to The Sports Daddys on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays here on bigbadsportsdaddy.com. If you did, you would know Andre and I had this discussion on Monday. You should download it sometime. It is only America's favorite podcast. If you can check it out before the new show hits the site tomorrow, you can hear my reasoning on why I think VY ends up in Cincy.



Will the Mavs do it this year?

-MFFL2010

Hell Yes! What you expected an in depth answer? I am to busy being a fan right now!


Larry you know the Spurs still have 4 rings and the Mavs have none right? The Spurs will always be better then the Mavs!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

-notjcall

Suck it JCall! The Mavs will get their first ring this year! It might go 7 but Dirk kills the Heat.


This lockout is killing me! When will they get it resolved?

-mrcandicecrawford


I feel your pain… Hopefully soon! The thought of an 8 game NFL season is a nightmare! The season is to short as is. This Fantasy Fanatic is already having withdraws.


Is Alexi Ogando a CY Young Contender?

-annoyingjerry

How could he not be? If he keeps pitching like this it will be hard to keep his name out of those talks when the time comes around. Let's Go Rangers!


If Dirk wins a title, will he go down as the greatest player in dfw sports history, narrowly edging modano?

-dbagnation


How is Mike Modano in this conversation? Do the names Troy,Michael,Emitt,Roger, and Tony mean anything to you? I'm just saying they all rank aboveModano. Dirk will probably rank behind the triplets as best metroplex athletes of all time.







Belmont Stakes Larry! Who wins? Give me a winning Tri!


degenerategambler75104

Man you are asking the wrong fella! I went to Lone Star Park last Friday Night for $1 beer night and got my arse handed to me. I didn't even win a bet! Most expensive $1 Beer Night ever! Here are my picks but I wouldn't bet on them.

Give Me
6-10-9

Win: 6. Nehro
Place: 10. Mucho Macho Man (love this horse)

Every time I think I am out...you seem to pull me right back in! Yes, you have broken my heart too many times to count, but like a chump I keep coming back for more. You are like a cheating ex-girlfriend that I just can't seem to get away from. You are like a bad slot machine that never pays off. You know how this story will end, but you just don't want to believe it. The "you" I am talking about in this case is the Dallas Mavericks.

Over the years I have invested a lot of my precious time watching Mavs games. My fan-ship goes back to Ro Blackman, D-Harp, and James Donaldson. I was even there for the days of Mike Iuzzolino and Donald Hodge. I remember the 3 J's and being excited about the horrific draft picks made back then (I.E., Samaki Walker, Cherokee Parks, and Loren Meyer). Back in those days the score was different.

Throughout my early youth, I watched The Dallas Mavericks go from really good to really bad. By the time I was a teenager, I learned to just accept the fact that they were going to be terrible. But I kept the hope alive and always had the optimistic attitude of "this year will be different". It took a few years, but change finally came around.

In 2000, Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks, and inserted instant life into what had been a dead franchise. The Dallas Mavericks were now fun! They had cool nicknames like Dirty, Filthy, and Nasty. They had transformed into what us Mavs fans had always wanted them to become...a contender. It took a few more years, but our little Mavericks made it to the NBA Finals for the first time in '06. We thought they were all grows up, and our MVP Dirk was going to bring home the championship trophy. Of course that didn't happen. What happened instead was an epic collapse.

Then in '07, a 60 win #1 seed Dallas Mavericks team gets swept and knocked out in the first round by an 8 seed. In'08, they were out in the first round of the playoffs again. That's when I threw in my proverbial towel. You see, somewhere between 2000 and 2008, I had come to expect the Mavericks to become winners. But then they just kept breaking my heart. All the years of heartache and frustration finally got to me, and yes I did quit watching.

I'll admit even up until the Western Conference finals this year I wasn't sold on them. I casually watched the 1st round and I was just waiting to read the headline "Trailblazers eliminate Mavs". To a lot of Mavs fans' surprise, they made it out of Round 1. What next? The mighty Lakers of LA, that's what. Well, that series didn't take long...the Mavs win again! Were they for real this time? Of course not...or so I had thought!

Those little Mavericks showed us they came to play this year. Then they sucked me right back in to this bad mentally abusive relationship. However; my attitude has changed. As I write this article, the Mavericks just went down 0-1 to the Heat. You know what? I still believe they can win it! If I'm wrong though, it doesn't matter because they have won me back over. Like any relationship you are trying to save, we were just needing a "break". No matter what happens in 2010, I am proud of this team! I don't say it too often, but I love you Dallas Mavericks! No matter how many times you break my heart, I will always come back. I am a true MFFL(Mavs Fan For Life). Always have been, and always will be. Let's go Mavs!
