Friday Free For All…..Volume 15.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 15.0

By: J-Shannon

You’ve got to love this time of year. It has been 70 degrees or warmer all week, the NCAA basketball season is approaching March Madness, Friday marks opening day for the NCAA baseball season, and the 2011 NASCAR season is dropping the Green Flag this weekend. Oh yes, spring is in the air, and it feels just about as good as an ice cold ‘Merican, but not quite. I myself have a solid weekend planned, starting with checking out the Milton High School boys basketball playoff game. Why? Maybe because Milton is the #3 high school basketball team in the country, and they have 6 Division 1A players on their roster. Saturday is another event filled day, as I plan to cram as much college basketball into my day as possible. And then there is Sunday, where the Green flag will drop on 25 or so drivers looking to cock-block the Jimmy Johnson from a 6-pete. Yea I realize there will be more than 25 drivers racing this season, but let’s be honest; there is 25 at most who have an opportunity to bring home a NASCAR ‘Ship.

So here it is the “spring is just around the corner, can you taste it” edition of the Friday Morning Free for All……

--The “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Story from this Week:

1. High School Iowa Wrestler gives up State Title, refuses to wrestle girl….

I am not sexist by any means. I think that girls should have equal opportunities to everything that men do, including high school athletics. But is it right that a high school wrestler in Iowa defaulted rather than wrestle a girl? The wrestler, Joel Northrup, made a brief statement:

                “As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to            engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in          most other high school sports in Iowa."

Now is it my place to say that the kid should have wrestled the girl? No, but I do think that if girls want to wrestle in the state of Iowa or anywhere else in the country, it is their right. However, I think there should be a girls division or league separate from guys. What would have happened if this kid would have grabbed the female wrestler around the waste and dropped her on the head? Some people would have been upset. Well, that is the nature of sports, and more specifically boys wrestling. I respect the decision Joel Northrup made, but quite frankly, I don’t think the kid should have ever been put in the situation to make the decision….

2. 10 Years since we lost the Man in Black

I think it has to be said that it has been 10 years since we lost Dale Earnhardt. Not only was it a sad loss for NASCAR, but it was a sad loss for sports fans and society for that matter. This week, a moment of silence will be held during the third lap of the race, in honor of the late great NASCAR Legend. I will go on record and hand will be raised high in the air with three fingers up in his honor during that lap…..

--Things that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

Keeping it Classy Alabama Fans…..

Oh Alabama, your classiness has reached an all time high. Now I will be the first to admit that I have written some bad things about Auburn. I don’t like Gene Chizik, and I still believe that they bought a championship this year. But purposely poisoning the Oak trees at Auburn’s sacred Toomer’s Corner is terrible and downright bush league. So you’re bitter that your rival Auburn won the National Title? Tough Shit, you had your chance to do something about it, and the Tide choked. So I’m personally calling you out, Harvey Almorn Updyke, the 62 year old D-Bag who was responsible for the incident. At 62, shouldn’t you be doing other things a little more responsible than poisoning trees on a college campus? By the way, naming your children “Bear” and “Crimson” (true story by the way) is almost as pathetic as your attempt to quiet the celebration of Auburn’s National Championship.  Harvey, you are about as cool as AIDS in my eyes. I hope the judge decides that the best way to have you pay your debt to society is to have you dropped in the center of Auburn University, Where the student body can tar, feather, and beat you down exactly how Auburn beat down Alabama in the second of this year’s game…..

--Youtube Clip of the Week:

1. The guy wasn’t good enough to start for UCONN this season, but apparently all that time he spent screwing around on the practice field paid off……

2. In honor of the NASCAR season kicking off, here is the movie trailer to one of the best sports movies of all time, Enjoy…..

--The “LIVIN’ THE DREAM” Legend of the Week:

I know I have mentioned this before, but if you’re Andy Roddick, it’s quite obvious you are a “livin’ the dream” legend. First off, you have roughly 20 million stacks of Paper sitting in your bank account. You’re the best American tennis player around these days, and you travel the world on a regular basis to play the sport you love for money.

But the best part of Andy Roddick’s life, is the fact that when his match is over, he gets to go home and get a rub down from wifey Brooklyn Decker. Who is Brooklyn Decker? Unless you have been living with your head up your ass for the past year, she is the hottest swimsuit model in the land.

Andy Roddick, congrats my man, you are living the dream…. And are an inspiration for all of us at Bro Nameth….

--Real Men of Genius Bro of the Week:

In honor of the kickoff of the 2011 NASCAR season, I felt it was only right to dedicate a portion of my Friday Free for All for the next few weeks to the “Real Men of Genius,” presented by ice cold ‘Merican Bud Light. This week, Bro Nameth Salutes you…….

Mr. Silent Killer Gas Passer

 

--Shout-Outs for the Week:

- Uncle Clark and Corey Rose: Thanks to your superb contributions to Bro Nameth, you have me completely interested in NASCAR again, and I’m looking forward to the start of the season Sunday…..

- Brooklyn Decker- The 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition is in stores and all I got to say is Andy Roddick is a lucky man….

- Ronaldo- Congrats on a great career, and enjoy some retirement bro…..

-Cavs- I give you a lot of shit, but you actually managed to beat the Lakers last night. You deserve a shout out…..
