In case you missed it-shame on you!

Since I posted early today I missed some late breaking sports news.  So just for all of you that only get your sports from me, and may I use this time to chastise you, here are the headlines.

Mike Mussina Retires

Mike Mussina, a right handed pitcher free agent, announced that he would retire today after the first 20 win season of his career.  Mussina is just a month short of forty years old and has played the last eight years of his career with the New York Yankees.  He spent 18 years in the Major leagues with only two teams, the Baltimore Orioles and the a fore mentioned Yankees.  He ranks in the top 10 in a lot of the major pitching categories.  He is fourth in wins with 270, in shutouts with 23, and complete games with 57.  He is sixth in strikeouts with 2,183 and batters walked per inning at 1.98.  He is eighth in win-loss percentage at .638.  He has a career ERA of 3.68 and gave up 367 home runs.  He finished as a finalist for the Cy Young award 7 times and was a 2 time nominee for MVP.  He also won 7 Gold Gloves and has a career fielding percentage of .980.  He was fantastic in the post season but did not win a World Series despite appearing in two with the Yankees.  Now I have no clue in hell what all those numbers mean but I think if you add them up they equal HALL OF FAME.  

Ball State Stays Perfect

If you missed this game on ESPN2, you missed a helluva a football game.  These Ball State Cardinals are playing their hearts out and Central Michigan is one of the best coached teams in the nation.  Nate Davis of Ball State went 12 of 22 for 175 yards and four touchdowns.  I didn't mention interceptions because he didn't throw any!  Dan Lefevour of Central Michigan, and my favorite college quarterback, went 30 of 44 for 342 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.  He also ran for 82 yards.  Central Michigan is the two time defending MAC champions and Ball State was playing to stay undefeated.  Ball State still needs a win next week against tough MAC opponent Western Michigan to finish the season undefeated and they still have an outside chance at a BCS bowl bid, although they need a lot of help.  This was a great game between two well coached, talented football teams.

Pac-Man Jones is Reinstated in the NFL

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THE NFL IS A JOKE! ROGER GOODELL IS A PUNK AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS NON-SENSE!  FUCK PAC-MAN, THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT! 

Well that's all the headlines that interest me.  Continue to live like no one is watching and remember that according to the NFL, you can do whatever you want as long as your publicists says your sorry and you spend three weeks in rehab!
