Griff's Grumblings by: Shawn Griffin from SportsTerminal.com	Pg 1 of 1

I would rather watch Larry King interview the spray paint bottle that he sprays his head with than watch a Yankee-Brave World Series…It seems like Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams are in every postseason baseball game I have watched for the last 10 years.… How can my fantasy football team be so damn bad when my QB is Kurt Warner? Charlie Manuel...what can I say about this guy? Did you see his interviews after the playoff games? All I understood was an occasional "Ya know like"…. Rex Hudler drinks way too much caffeine before going on the air -- I felt like I was listening to Hulk Holgan broadcast the playoff games...and Josh Lewin looks like he just finished his high school football game broadcast career…. Have you ever seen Carl Everett and Albert Belle in the same room? If you are making millions playing a kids game -- why would you act like such a moron?…I don't think I would be able to wipe the smile off my face if I was a big leaguer...the money, the women, the fans, the women, the cars, the women…. Go ahead and call me an insensitive jerk, but I feel no pity for Afghan "civilians" getting killed from U.S. bombs...I mean, 6,000 of our innocent civilians are dead and anthrax is popping up left and right -- I simply don't have time to worry about some cave dwellers that hate my country anyways -- the only people that I am concerned with at this point are my fellow Americans…. Why hasn't Saturday Night Live hired a funny fat man yet?…The death of Chris Farley has robbed me of many laughs…. Notre Dame, USC, Alabama, Ohio State...whatever happened to the top college football teams I grew up watching?…I'll take those teams over Fresno State and Oregon any day of the week…. Curt Schilling and the Big Unit are the best one two combo since Mindy and Tootie from "The Facts of Life".… I will admit it -- every time I hear "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, I feel like getting up and dancing.… Is it just me or are 18-22 year old girls in Mustangs or Camaros the worst drivers on the road?… I have a sneaking suspicion that, when all alone, the cast members of the Real World look in the mirror and tell themselves that they truly are important people, totally oblivious to the fact that we watch them the same way we look at car accidents...not because we want to -- we just have to…. I would love to see Lou Piniella and Don Zimmer get in a basebrawl during the ALCS…my money would be on Zimmer -- that guy is a bulldog…. Julio Franco is still around?…I thought that guy retired like 10 years ago...I wonder if he will be this year's "The old grizzled veteran comes through in the clutch" guy -- players like Ray Knight for the Mets in 1986, Jack Morris for the Twins in 1991, Dodger Kirk Gibson in 1988, Willie Stargell in 1979 for the Pirates…. How about the "Where the hell did this guy come from" guy? The Yankees are notorious for these types of players…Jose Vizcaino, Luis Sojo, Charlie Hayes...this year I have a sick feeling that it will be utility man Enrique Wilson…the guy will come through in a pressure situation and help them win it all…again…and you'll be like, "Where the hell did this guy come from?"…. How can a pitcher like Seattle's Jamie Moyer succeed?…He tops out at about 82 MPH -- imagine all of the guys who never got a chance to pitch in the big leagues because they couldn't throw in the 90s -- I wonder how many Jamie Moyers we are missing out on.… Mark Cuban and Ted Turner are billionaires…I am more convinced than ever that luck plays the biggest part in one making tons of money in this world...Ted Turner sounds about as intelligent as the spokesman for the Taliban.… The greatest sports team nickname, hands down, is the East Coast Hockey League franchise called the "Macon Whoopie"…I wonder who owns them?...Larry Flynt?…Bill Clinton?…. Do you have a grumbling? Send me one and we can go over them next time…. See more of Shawn's columns at SportsTerminal.com!
