Bench Cast #9 Indie Rock Playlist

Hey everyone guess who’s back behind the mike with all the sports news you can handle.  We’ve shifted the lineup on this one, Fran is out for the first time, but to keep the surprise streak alive of having hot girls on our show we’ve promoted Morgan to on air talent.  And not that you care but Ron and Uji are still there.

We have a little chit chat about Steve Wiebe back on the top of the Donkey Kong world, Braylon Edwards magic cab ride, Matt Barnes getting his ass beat by his girlfriend, a round up of the Mountain West, our horrible NFL predictions and some talk about our favorite sports tv shows coming back.

Weekend Roundup

Just cause Burton Cummings rounded up many a weekend I’m sure

So here we are with the weekend roundup coming to you on Wednesday afternoon because my weekends don’t end until Wednesday!  Or because I had tons of work to do on Monday and Tuesday and numerous apology letters to send out, cause that’s how I roll bitches.

The U (Utah not stupid Miami) Crushed another crappy MW team this weekend with out even needing their starting QB, I think it was 412-3 but you might want to check that score.

In other Mountain West news, BYU spent another Saturday getting crushed by a mediocre Florida State team much as they did last year, I think BYU is heading to a 5 loss season, so good for them, it’s not like they needed a great record this year because they are going independent or anything.

In the NFL my Steelers, whom my friends all said on the podcast would be 1-3 at the end of the first 4 weeks used their awesome D to beat the Titans in a strange 11-19 final score game and cause 7 turn overs and the annual Vince Young benching.  Anyone know where that Heisman is?

In other Heisman not winners news Reggie Bush broke his leg in a narrow win over San Fran, 22-25.  A game where I thought Alex Smith finally looked pretty good and if San Fran hadn’t dropped 20 balls in the red zone, should have won by 2 touchdowns.

In the Oreo Dunk Off Final, older brother P. Manning put little Elisha in his place crushing the Giants 38-14, making my declaration after the first week that even though the Giants won they still suck look much better.

And finally the winner of the Crap Bowl, Oakland beats St. Louis 16-14, just in case some one cared.

AMERICA....F#CK YEAH!!!!

Sorry for the obscene title, but for some odd reason(thank you Trey Parker and Matt Stone and all the wonderful people behind Team America: World Police), whenever I watch international play, whether it be Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Synchronized Swimming, etc. That song/phrase comes into my head, great song by the way!(if you haven't heard it check it-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M).
Anyway, on to the topic at hand, Team USA whooping the world's ass in basketball just like the good old days! Although instead of Jordan, Malone, Stockton, and Pippen, the FIBA Championship team of today consists of Durant, Curry, Gordon, Gay, and Westbrook. Team USA is young, athletic, long, quick, and instead of them relying entirely on their offense like the "Dream Team" in Barcelona, this new young team actually plays hard nosed defense, and that's something that any basketball purist will respect and enjoy! No disrespect intended to Team USA back in the day, they did have great defenders on their team, but they also knew that the competition back then wasn't as competitive as it is now days, so they could let teams like Turkey and Greece shoot wide open three pointers without even a worry, oh and their offense was just straight up ridiculous!

While watching this FIBA tournament the last couple weeks, it has brought up a new topic of discussion around the NBA and the basketball world. Who is the best player in the world??? Easy answer right, either Kobe or Lebron....NOPE...there is a new name climbing to the top of the debate....Kevin Durant! Simply unbelievable! The dude/kid was only 4 years old when the Dream Team was punishing teams in Spain. He probably doesn't even remember it, crazy young! Can you imagine if he stays healthy and transforms his lil boy body into that of a man??? He would be unstoppable! The great thing is, everybody that is in the states and follows the NBA knew of this great talent, but now that cats out of the bag, and the world has caught on! I can just imagine what the other international basketball coaches are planning for the Summer Olympics in London..."triple team Kobe, double team Durant, oh shit...we only have 5 guys on the floor! why isn't anyone guarding Deron Williams, Why is Lebron wide open!???"...Its gonna be awesome! So in conclusion I have a few unanswered questions, Who is gonna be on the roster come London time? Has Kevin Durant surpassed Kobe as the best in the world??? I guess we will have to wait to see the answers revealed for those two questions, but there is one thing I am for sure certain on....Team USA is back to the powerhouse it once was, and everyone knows this world wide! So I will end this post with the same three words I started with-AMERICA...FUCK YEAH!!!

Jets ban Cheeseburgers but Love to get Tacos

In mexico locker rooms are much more women friendly

This whole Ines Sainz thing seems to me like the ultimate in Sound and Fury signifying nothing  (I’ll have the port with my literary reference, ahum, queef).  When I first heard of Miss Sainz it was a couple years ago as she pranced around on the sidelines wearing a pair of jeans that must have been painted on that onion of hers as she flirted with T.O. on the sidelines.  I thought Uj was going to tear up through the tv the scent of onion was so strong.

Like I said on the podcast, she works for a Mexican TV station doing sports reporting.  I live in Salt Lake, this place is like 30% Hispanic, we have about 5 Spanish speaking TV stations.  I am aware of the culture, it is not as PC, feminist whatever as America by about 400%.  I can’t imagine that the way the Jets treated her would even come close to the way she would get treated in the locker room of a major Mexican or South American soccer team.  She has to be used to more open male sexual aggression just based on the culture.

Not to mention that she openly flaunts her looks and sexuality, as is common on many Mexican television programs.  I have to assume that since guys watch sports they figure what else do guys want to watch, hot chicks, bam give it to them.  It’s the genius of Mexican TV, actually giving people what they want.  As you can clearly see from this informative photo spread her idea of work place dress and the typical American sports casters may be a little different.  Obligatory Ines Sainz pic gallery ahead.

My computer wouldn’t make her ass pic go small

Okay I think that makes the point, I could literally do this all day

So now that the exploitative viewer grab is over, back to my point.  I think this is simply the over reaction of the American media in their ongoing quest to be as PC as possible.  First off Ines herself didn’t complain and has come out and said nothing happened.  The complaint was filed by some stick up his ass reporter that didn’t like what he saw as inappropriate behavior from the Jets.

I know that it has been a long road into serious sports journalism for women in the US, but those days are gone.  I think the serious women journalist are at the point where they are just like the men, but are always looking in their rearview and are scared to death of people like Ines Sainz coming in with this new kind of sexual faux sideline thing and discrediting them.  Don’t worry, we all know the difference between this and a real sports reporter doing her job, they are two different things.  Craig Sager is not Michael Wilbon is not WoJo, we know.

I wish I had something to wrap this up with other than don’t get your panties in a knot you whiney PC pussies and let other cultures do their hot Mexican reporter thing, but I really don’t.  It’s a non story that one side has glommed onto to make their once a year athletes need to be sensitive, feminist work place rant and the other side to show hot pictures of chick with one of the great south of the boarder asses of all time.  So, ignore it or enjoy the show, but one more time for google, HOT INES SAINZ PCITURES!!!

Life Lessons with Prof. Carroll

Here’s pete teaching a life lesson, oh wait, he’s shilling a book for money, my mistake

As all of you know now Reggie Bush has given up the good fight and has returned his Heisman trophy before a bunch of old rich guys in New York could demand that he give it back.  He has insisted for years now that he never violated any rules and that his family magically got an half million dollar house in SoCal and it didn’t come from a booster or one of the dozens of other methods that USC uses to pay its players.

Smelling the stinky winds of change blowing in from the NCAA offices Pete Carroll got the hell out of Dodge last year and took the NFL job up in Seattle as quickly as he could.  Knowing that the northwest is totally chill like SoCal, just a little rainier he heading 700 miles north to bring his rah rah attitude to those rain logged hipsters up on the north coast.

Since Reggie wasn’t smart enough to mail his trophy to his cousin in Grand Cayman and and then just claim he was on vacation for all of 2005 and he didn’t know anything about no stinking Heisman he had to get as ahead of a 5 year old story as you can and give it back ASAP.  Since Carroll was intimately involved, he was of course asked all about it.

Among the many stupid meaningless things Carroll said about the situation was that “It would be a learning opportunity for Bush.”  Since Bush is no longer “an amateur” no longer has to deal with the hypocritical NCAA and probably isn’t up for any more Heismans I was wondering exactly what learning he was going to do from this, so I’ve put together some ideas.

1. Get the hell out of town before any sanctions hit and never look back letting your successor and recruits deal with your mess.
2. Taking money for playing college football is way worse than any performance enhancing drugs or on field cheating.
3. It’s also more immoral than fraud and murder and has worse consequences from the NCAA.
4. Don’t be too blatant with the money you take from boosters, stick with cars and girls not houses.
5. None of this will affect your pro-career at all, so fuck it.

Good thing Prof. Carroll could go out of his way to present us with these life lessons.  Between the sanctimonious bullshit about student athletes you get from coaches and school presidents to the over burdened and rule centric NCAA it’s almost unbearable to even watch college football these days.  If I didn’t have a certain affinity for my Utah Utes from years of being within a couple miles of the school and going there for like 6 years I’d be done with it today.  Boy it’s a long step down from my soap box, maybe an NCAA employee can help me down, they are used to doing that.

Bananas and Blow - Bench Cast #8

In this episode we talk about the NFL re-cap for week one, discuss Megatron’s non game winning catch against the Bears and if the rule was correct. Randy Moss’s comments on his contract if the timing was right and if the media is the right place for contract discusions. Va Tech loosing and how it affects Boise St. and their ability to get to the national championship game. Ines Sainz bringing her hot ass to New Jersey, flaunting it around the Jets’ locker room and how reporters should act, unfortunately there is no HOT INES SAINZ NAKED TOPLESS LESBIAN PICTURES in the podcast. Finally, the Heisman getting a little less Bush and the WAC suing the Mountain West to round it off.
