It seems to be about the most silent day of the year in sports. Duke/Carolina is over. The Super Bowl is over. College Football is over. Baseball hasn't started. There is hockey, but, for some reason, nobody cares about it. The horse already died. I guess Tiger started looking for number 8 today? The biggest news in sports is that Albert Pujols became a US citizen, or was that yesterday?
Maybe it's time to introduce the latest newby on this blog, the "Is it Safe to Say" section. Hop to it.
IS IT SAFE TO SAY:
*Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas is an idiot? And represents exactly what is wrong with the NBA?
*The Indiana Pacers are the new bad boy Portland Trail Blazers?
*Rex Grossman wishes he would have been caught with 500 rounds of ammo, been suspended by Lovie Smith, and watched the Super Bowl from behind the bars of a federal pen?
*Patrick Lalime is back after blanking the Canucks on the road Wednesday night?
I'm being serious when I say this. Two, of whom I would call good friends of mine, tried to argue with me last night that Stefhon Hannah (Mizzou's point guard) could run the point at Duke. Honestly, dead serious, that was their argument. They were saying that Hannah could run the show at Duke. I'll give credit to one of them, he somewhat backed down once he realized he was being an idiot. But the other one didn't. Let's just say it's in his nature not to back down, even when he's obviously wrong. Folks, this is the most idiotic, stupid, and whacked out thought ever. This ranks amongst the world's dumbest things said in the history of the world. This is dumber than if Hitler claimed to be the son of God. This is dumber than Jessica Simpson. This is just flat out stupid. Can Paul Paradowski run the point at Mizzou? Hell no. Can Stefhon Hannah run the point at Duke? Hell no.
*The Big 12 is not the ACC. Not even close.
*Stefhon Hannah spent two years at JUCO. JUCO. That's JUNIOR COLLEGE.
*He can't even win at Mizzou, a mid-level Big 12 team. How the hell would it be considered a rational thought to think he could win on a top-caliber ACC team?
Please. Somebody witness this. If you're with me, throw a witness. If you're not, throw something else. Tell these idiots how dumb they are.
Read what other people are saying:
Dan Daly, Washington Times: “New (NFL) commish Roger Goodell is determined to do something about the rash of arrests around the league, particularly in Cincinnati. In fact, at his annual news conference Friday, he announced the launching of an Adopt A Bengal program. That’s right, friends, for a contribution of just $10 a month, you can help a player get proper legal representation. He’ll even write you letters from the halfway house he’s assigned to. And for $20 a month, I hear, you can be one of his alibi witnesses.”
Peter Schrager, FoxSports.com: “Average Bears fan does not take football lightly. No, the average Bears fan’s wardrobe ONLY consists of Urlacher jerseys, flannel shirts, and jean shorts. That’s all I saw last week. And if it wasn’t Urlacher, it was Grossman or Briggs. Also, the average Bears fan looks like a mix between Andy Reid and Mike Holmgren: a bit heavy set, strong, thick mustache. And yes, that’s both the men and the women.”
Elliott Harris, Chicago Sun-Times: “When Illinois football coach Ron Zook says a realistic goal for the 2008 team is a bowl game, he does realize you need to have a winning record to qualify, doesn’t he?”
Peter Schrager, FoxSports.com: “My favorite part of the CBS pregame show? Shannon Sharpe going on and on about how all the records and statistics will mean nothing if Peyton doesn’t win a Super Bowl . . . with Dan Marino sitting next to him.”
Rush Limbaugh on the media's treatment of Rex Grossman: It’s just — they’re focusing on this guy like they don’t focus on anybody! And I tell you, I know what it is. The media, the sports media, has got social concerns that they are first and foremost interested in, and they’re dumping on this guy — Rex Grossman — for one reason, folks, and that’s because he is a white quarterback.”
Who's more of an idiot: Rush Limbaugh or the fools who think Stefhon Hannah can run the point at Duke?
On a lighter note. Give it up to our newest respondee "iheartbutterfield." It's damn good to have him on board.
It's Thursday night, grow a beard.

Hannah at Duke...I don't really know what to say about that one. Hannah is a great player for Mizzou, not Duke. Hannah wouldn't even come off the bench at Duke. I don't know this guy you speak of, but something tells me that he would think that you are an idiot if you suggested that Hannah could run the show at UNC.
P.S. I might get fired tomorrow. A big shot at my work just walked in on me sitting at the wrong desk with my legs kicked up writing on semosportsweb.com. Her exact words were, "Wow, this isn't going to go over well." I said a few choice words of my own after she left.
Well, Heavy, the cat is outta the bag. I have on and off been a closet blogger the last few months. Just like butterfield says, the posts won't stop. I do, however, disagree with not allowing anonymous comments. I am a humble person and I don't like to show my utter brilliance to the world, but there is nothing I can do about it now. I'm sure we will have some epic battles on this site for years to come, and I'm looking forward to it. You have defended yourself anywhere between horrendous and outstanding when people have called you out. But you cannot expect it to stop. I agree with butterfield when he says baseball season will be "nasty". So just crack open another Busch, take a deep breath, and try to get over the utter shock of that outstanding 3rd period performance by Curtis Sanford tonight. I'm drinking a busch beer for your efforts on busting butterfield and I, let me know how you pieced it all together. I will also give you a gift, I will call Kevin "The King" Slaten's show to pick his brain about the Hannah at Duke debate. I know you respect his opinion, and I will stop at nothing to get it. That should put the debate to rest, or open the floodgates. I will leave you with a quote from the great Newman from Seinfeld, "What took you so long?"
I'll throw out a witness on Hannah not being able to play for Duke. That's like saying Greg Paulus could run the point for Duke -- we all know that it will never happen.
GossipKing, I'll give you a witness on the fact you continued to post on SemoSportsWeb.com AFTER you got in trouble with the big shot. That's dedication.
Im giving a witness to myself, after posting on nealry every blong on this site. It is safe to say that my days consist of working, posting on blogs, and sleeping. And withness to the Associated Press's newest employee, Mark Unterreiner. 2 witnesses. Well lets make it 3, Ill throw one your way Dave.
Jose: holla.
its_timo_time: Good to have you, jackass. How did I piece it together? It could have been the goalposting dropping? Or the fact that I only know two huge jackasses in the entire world, which would be you and Andy (now "iheartbutterfield" and "its_timo_time")
Call Slaten for me. See what he says. A lot of my respect for him rides on his answer. Something tells me that he's going to go into an angry emotional rage about how stupid some people are. Tell him it's being debated on semosportsweb.com, tell him to pull it up and post.
gossipking: You don't need that job. Blow up your TV, throw away your paper, move to the country, build you a home.
Grow a lot of peaches.
HatteBERG. NICE.
