Because We Care

That's Rosalyn Sanchez to meet you this morning. You're welcome.

We don't have much more. We're tired and, yes, we know, there hasn't been much post recently, so we'll give you this video and figure out where we're going from here.
It's people getting hurt; what could be better?

And Lastly ...

Here's a nice gem we found before we hit the hay. ESPN actually putting something together that we enjoyed watching, because if it's awkward, we love it here at AndWhammy. Personally, while the No. 1 on this list is a classic, No. 3 is our favorite. Enjoy!

Hey, At Least We're Trying ...

By now, most of you saw the umpire, Kerwin Danley, at the Rockies/Dodgers get drilled in the jaw by a 96-mph-Brad-Penny fastball. (We're looking for a clip we can post, but can't find one. Thanks, jerk-ass ESPN). Anyways, in honor of that, check out this clip we found, to honor the thankless job umpires do, not only for overpaid major league baseball players, but your kids as well. Yeah, thank 'em, dammit.

Not Bad For a Guy With No Neck ...

Generally we really had pre-game NFL shows. The idiots on Fox and CBS bore us to no end and we just don't care. We're too busy drinking and eating cocktail weeines to be bothered by Jimmy Johnson's hair or watch Terry Bradshaw hit on Jillian Barberie. With that said, this was a pretty funny clip we found, and as for Shannon Sharpe, he's a new favorite around here.

And It Just Gets Better ...

Clearly this guy didn't know what he was doing. Our favorite part is that he can't name one basketball player besides LeBron James. Idiot, and the worst part, he makes a lot more money than you.

Get This Guy A Teleprompter ...

Whoa. This is painful to watch, yet still totally funny. We think this guy just got hired for ESPNews.

Purdy Pictures

Here's a video clip we couldn't pass up posting. We love sports photos and photojournalism for that matter. Enjoy!

Up and Sort Of At It ...

Yeah, we're up. Here's Jessica Biel to help you wipe the crust from your eyes.
We watched the NFL Draft yesterday. Yawn. That's why we're having a hard time waking up. Because it was so boring.

ESPN did a lousy job. No surprise there, since they take away the suspense of every pick by showing the jerk-ass athlete on the phone and then his momma or baby-mama smiling her head off because she realizes she just got paid.

We weren't surprised by most of the picks. Just a few in the first round that seemed out of place, such as Pittsburgh picking up Rashard Mendenhall, then of course that really helps out Wille Parker. Intriguing.

Dallas trading up to take Mike Jenkins. It was a bold move, but Mike is one of our favorites here at AndWhammy. We wish him luck even though we've personally seen him get burned by big receivers (see Louisville in 2006).
Baltimore trading up for Joe Flacco? WTF? Did Jim Harbaugh really think Flacco would be gone in the second round? Whatever. He's going to bust out. He looked really good playing Delware opponents in -- what is that? -- Division III football.

As for the second round, the 55-58 picks were really good. Big names, big schools and all good picks for those respectively teams. First, with Baltimore at 55, they picked up Ray Rice. Good move, espeically after Flacco (ever see Keanu Reeves in The Replacements? Didn't his character have the same name?) Anyways, Rice is going to be a bruising, punishing back and he's going to, perhaps not tear it up, but still, be a force for a rebuilding Ravens squad.

Then, Green Bay got Brian Brohm at 56. Nice back up plan. Brohm has a hell of a strong arm and if Aaron Rogers bails, or gets hurt for that matter. There is Mr. QB for you.
At 57, Miami did get a quarterback and not too bad of one either. Chad Henne has awesome arm strength and a tendency to hit his primary receiver. Smart move, Chad. Smart move, Tuna.

And at 58, the Buccaneers picked up a new Dexter Jackson, not the Dexter Jackson that was Super Bowl MVP for them in Super Bowl XXXVII. This Jackson, while not the biggest receiver they could've gotten, has speed, hands, route running ability and the ability to return punts and kickoffs. Word is he can burn cornerbacks, who are generally the fastest player on an NFL. Sounds smart to us.

We're done with the draft for this year, though. We have lives. We don't care about the sixth and seventh round.

One last thing to make your brain fall out of your skull, David "Big Papi' Ortiz, is out for the second-straight game with a bruised knee. We would say the Saux need him to stop the streaking Rays (that cellar of team has won five straight), but Ortiz is batting a lowly .177, with four homers and 20 RBI. You know, take a break, Davey. You've earned it. Have a nice plate of chicken, some rice, a few black beans. Enjoy the day off (that is before you're required to have knee surgery and miss the rest of the season).

With that, and the Saux will still win the AL East without Ortiz, we're off to entertain ourselves. We'll be back. Check this video out while we're gone:

Al Gore: The First Emperor of the Moon

We like Al Gore. We loved him since his appearances on Futurama, though those were aided since his daughter was a staff writer on the show. Anyways, here's proof -- yes, on a cartoon -- on why Mr. Gore was right. The clip is exactly what Mr. Gore was talking about in 2000, right before his votes mysteriously disappeared.

How 'Bout Them Apples?

So we're watching more TV -- shocker -- and we're watching NBC and the preview for one of our favorite shows, Law and Order: SVU, comes on. Turns out, Robin Williams is guest starring in the episode next week, as a very creepy character. So, we found some of his stand up, because we just had to get that image out of our mind ... until the episode comes on next Tuesday. Here's a clip that always makes us laugh and gets good mileage when we rack up snowmen on our scorecards ...

Didn't He Die In A Grease Fire...?

Nope. Tom Wilson, a.k.a Biff Tanner from Back To The Future, has a stand up act. We've never seen it, but heard its actually pretty funny. Here's a clip we've watched a million times because it make us chuckle. Watch, or make like a tree and get outta here ... Butthead!

I Need You To Committ Me ...

This one, we think, is in honor of the NFL Draft going on this weekend. See, kiddies, this can happen to you if you, too, in the NFL. They've done studies, you know. 60 percent of of the time this happens every time ...
