Because Curt Schilling can’t 1) Think something without saying it, 2) Come across a controversial topic without offering an opinion or 3) properly use an apostrophe, the Red Sox hurler has decided to weigh in on the Roger Clemens drug question with some wisdom under the headline, “One players (sic) take on the Mitchell Report, Canseco, Clemens, looking back or going forward …” which is not so much a summary but a sentence that would be longer than 1 of every 10 RandBall posts. In any event, Curt has an awful lot to say, and after about 2,000 words he says this about Clemens: So as a fan my thought is that Roger will find a way in short order to organize a legal team to guarantee a retraction of the allegations made, a public apology is made, and his name is completely cleared. If he doesn’t do that then there aren’t many options as a fan for me other than to believe his career 192 wins and 3 Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end. From that point on the numbers were attained through using PED’s. Just like I stated about Jose, if that is the case with Roger, the 4 Cy Youngs should go to the rightful winners and the numbers should go away if he cannot refute the accusations. If you don’t hear this repeated a minimum of 15 times in the next 24 hours, then talk radio and the TV shouting heads just aren’t doing their jobs. (That image above, by the way, is the exclusive “other sock” from 2004).

*A fun new addition on the Wizard of Odds begins today tracks how far college football teams travel. If you like college football, you might find facts like this to be rather interesting: Georgia has traveled a total of 358 miles for nonconference road games since 1998. By comparison, Hawaii has traveled 72,918 miles. It’s now your job to determine which of those numbers is closest to the number of excruciating losses suffered by the Gophers during that time.

*We received our Hottie Holiday Card from the Ladies … and for those who complain we never direct you to the humorous man-candy, complain no more because it is also available in blog form.

*McLovins: Keeping the cold side cold and the hot side also cold. If you’re too young to remember McDlt’s, that makes no sense. Here, let George Costanza explain it. Ha! The Celtics also lost. They now have the same number of losses as the McLovins have victories.
Let’s not even talk about Parcells today.

Fasola-link! She must be thinking of something other than her own person when making such declarations.
