SPORTS PICTORIAL

2 web sites provide pictorials of female athletes on and off the field

.

Buffalo Bob (see above): "Say, kids, what time is it?"

Peanut Gallery (audience of mostly pre-school kids): "It's Howdy Dowdy Time!"

.

That was then, This is now.

.

"Say, kids (18 years and older), what time is it?"

Kids (18 years and older): "It's Eye Candy Time!"

.

Over 5o years ago, Howdy Dowdy was so popular

among the younger set, kids clamored for a TV

set to watch him at home, so parents had little

choice but to get a TV set for home viewing.

.

TV sales skyrocketed because of that show and the

I Love Lucy show, the Milton Berle show and others

joined in to make TV a must for all American households.

.

That was then. Now, technology has provided other

forms of media to offer a nultiplicity of diversions to

entertain one and all over a broad range of disciplines.

.

The Internet offers a multiplicity of diversions in its

own right, and, one and all are capitalizing on that

reality by exploring entertainment and education

options in various formats on the Net.

.

This is now and this blog is another example of

the diversions one can access and enjoy using this

new technology.

BASEBALL QUIZ

.
Beating the Breaks:

Major League Ballplayers Who Overcame Disabilities

by Rick Swaine

.

So you think you are a baseball guru?

.

Most baseball fanatics harbor that belief and many are

baseball guru wannabes, unlike true baseball gurus

who know all the answers to all the baseball questions,

even though, in most cases, they are just one-topic

gurus, not Mensa candidates.

.

As you know, one-topic gurus abound, so on TCM.com,

you find movie trivia gurus, in SABR, baseball gurus,

etc., so gurus are there, but to qualify as a guru, all

have to think the guru has the answer or can get the

answer for his specialty.

.

So, to you, this baseball trivia quiz will help establish

who you are, wannabe or guru.

.

I expected to ace the quiz, since baseball trivia is

right up my alley, but once a wannabe, always a

wannabe - 12 oF 20 correct means WANNABE!!!

.

Gurus ace a quiz like this one, so if you get

less than 20 correct, join the millions of wannabes

who have a way to go before becoming a guru!

Some will ace this test, but they won't tell you

because gurus don't talk to peasants!!!

.

To take the quiz, click on your answer and get

immediate feedback from the quiz.

.

If your feedback says WRONG or INCORRECT

on any answer, welcome to the baseball guru

wannabe club!!!

I haven't done much trash-talking. But last year, I did complain about a call. Nobody could believe it. So I said, "I've spent a lot on English lessons. I want to get my money's worth." The official was laughing.

TIGER WHO???

GOLF HUMOR

Jokes, not quotes, about Tiger Woods' recent social shenanigans.

“Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.”

Source: Angela Carter \ whatquote.com

--------

A sports \ humorist blogger presents his views on Tiger's marital problems.

"In a very perverse way, while we like Tiger and feel sorry for him, we also like the jokes. Humour works like that - it is no respecter of persons or feelings. Even the sickest jokes find a spot in our psyche that they hit. Take some of the Tiger jokes that have been circulating:"

Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.

What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

Tiger Woods wasn't seriously injured in the crash, but he's still below par.

What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went clubbing.

Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

Perhaps Tiger should be using a driver?

This is the first time Tiger's ever failed to drive 300 yards

Apparently, Tiger admitted this crash was the closest shave he's ever had. So Gillette has dropped his contract.

Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.

Might have been worse Tiger, you could have lost your putter!

What course gives Tiger the most trouble? A: Intercourse.

You usually find a tree in the Woods, Tiger's wife found a Woods in a tree.

-------------

Here is yet another joke from a Baltimore radio sports

talk show host on a late evening show on 12/11/2009:

"Tiger is the only golfer I know who plays 18 holes

during a game and 18 holes afterwards."

Heath Shuler:
.
Heath Shuler, the highly touted University of Tennessee quarterback, was pretty abysmal after the Redskins took him with the third pick in the 1994 NFL Draft; he only lasted four seasons in the NFL. Luckily for Shuler, he bounced back to start a large real estate business in Knoxville, which he used as a springboard to become a Democratic congressman for North Carolina’s 11th district. He still stinks at football, though; when Shuler led a congressional team against a squad of Capitol Police in a friendly game in 2007, he threw two picks as his team got shut out.

SWIMMING QUOTES

.

John Cleese:
.

The one thing I remember about Christmas was that my father used to take me out in a boat about ten miles offshore on Christmas Day, and I used to have to swim back. Extraordinary. It was a ritual. Mind you, that wasn't the hard part. The difficult bit was getting out of the sack.

.

Arnold Schwarzenegger:
.

I think the public thinks I am narcissistic because I look in the mirror. What they don't understand is that is the only way I can check my progress. How do I know that my muscles grow the way that I want? By flexing them and checking them in the mirror, by measuring them with a tape or possibly by stepping on a scale. The mirror is by far the best because I can see each muscle's definition. That is very subtle. Sometimes even another bodybuilder cannot see what I can. A swimmer uses a stopwatch like a mirror. A jumper's tape is his mirror. But the public is weirdly afraid of themselves. They are guilty about the mirror. They think by looking in it there's something wrong. How many mirrors are there in America?
.
Warren Buffet:

.
You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out
.

Michael Phelps:

.
When the Australians walked out, the crowd went nuts, and when we walked out, the crowd went even more nuts. I can't describe how amazing that was. Three thousand people were here rooting for the two strongest swimming nations. I'll never forget that, and I was glad to be part of it.

Michael Phelps:

If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL HUMOR
Author cites the inspirational skills of a losing football coach
.
COACH BARRY MURPHY'S
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
(LIFETIME RECORD:14-91-1).
BY DIRK VOETBERG
- - - -
"Winners never quit and quitters never win. Vince Lombardi said that, and I think it's a good quote, if a wee bit specious."
- - - -
"Losing is something that only happens when you don't try. We didn't win tonight, but we tried, so I don't know what that's called. Shall we call it 'tuvoling'?"
- - - -
"Winning isn't everything. Losing is also a thing, as are eggs and bonnets and quilts and, I believe, red trucks."
- - - -
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. For example, do not let the fact that you can't time-travel interfere with your drinking of water. This should be easy."
- - - -
"I don't see us beating these guys. They're just bigger and faster. Wow. All right. Let's go out there."
- - - -
"When someone tells you you can't do something, reply that you can. And if you can't prove it in action, you've at least said it in words."
- - - -
"There is no q in 'team.'"
- - - -
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight or the size of the fight in the dog; it's the fight of the size dog not."
- - - -
"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score? Because not knowing the score isn't everything, either."
- - - -
"The best offense is a good defense. So, defense, I'm going to send you out there to go head-to-head with their defense. Let's somehow get some points doing that!"
- - - -
"We're playing the Cougars tonight. I love cougars!"
- - - -
"I went to visit your teammate Danny Brock in the hospital last night and told him, 'Mind can win over matter anytime, Danny.' But the doctor informed me that, in fact, no, his back is broken, nerves severed, and, no matter what his mind wants to do, he will not be able to walk ever again. So, gentlemen, sure, 'mind over matter' doesn't always work, but only when things get difficult."
- - - -
"I've never really liked football. Baseball's more my thing."
- - - -
"Sooner or later we're all going to die."
- - - -

CHARLIE MANUEL

MANAGER, PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

.

More Charlies Manuel Quotes:

.

About an hour and a half after the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series, and with every last bit of champagne and beer either spilled or consumed, just about all that remained in a dry state around the Phillies' clubhouse was their manager, Charlie Manuel.

.

I was stunned when I saw Manuel, still in uniform, still dry, in a hallway between his office and the clubhouse.

.

Then it made sense to me. It never was about the glory or the adulation for Charles Fuqua Manuel. It was always simply about the baseball.

.
"I'm a baseball guy," Manuel told a skeptical Philadelphia media corps upon being introduced as the Phillies manager in November of 2004. "I live and sleep baseball."

.

-------

.

"I wasn't working on trying to prove nothing," ole Charlie said. "Don't take this in a cocky way. I already knew how good I was."

.

.

----------------------

.

A "hayseed" no more.

.

The June 22 issue of Sports Illustrated profiles Charlie Manuel in more detail than you ever thought you'd want to know about the Phils' manager.

.

Like the kind of reading material he brings with him to the bathroom. And his intense love of professional wrestling -- the story even quotes former pro wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler.

.

The piece describes the circumstances that led up to Cholly's World Series win last year, including a surprising amount of adversity faced by the 65-year-old Virginia native. Just to give a taste:

.

"Philly was supposed to be the roughest test he'd face, but really, how bad had it been?

.

No family tragedy. No culture shock. No colostomy bag. Just some tough fans, and they were all now chanting his name."
