    Ronaldo & More

    Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 12:49 PM EST [General]

    I normally don't give a crap about soccer- despite the fact that I have played it, and coached 'say' soccer a couple of years back.  I think that soccer fans are even more hardcore than NFL fans, so let's see what happens to Ronaldo player for A.C. Milan from Brazil.

    It's been a thoroughly rotten season for A.C. Milan striker Ronaldo. After years of overeating following his successful 2002 World Cup stint with Brazil, the 31-year-old blew out his left knee, leaving his career in jeopardy.

    It seams as though he's gone from one of the greatest most well known player in the world to just another athlete that has done something to ruin his image.  In times like these, a man seeks comfort. Unfortunately, it seems Ronaldo went looking for love in all the wrong places.

    Soccer star Ronaldo was questioned by police early Monday after a run-in with Brazilian transvestites in a Rio de Janeiro motel.

    Ronaldo accused one of the transvestites of trying to extort him, police inspector Carlos Augusto Nogueira said Monday night. Nogueira said the altercation began when Ronaldo found out he was dealing with transvestites instead of women. The inspector said Ronaldo admitted he knew they were prostitutes when they met earlier Sunday night but did not realize they were transvestites until they got to the motel.


    Really? Is inspecting the merchandise before purchase discouraged in Brazil? Weren't those adam's apples enough of a giveaway?  What could possibly effect you enough to try and hook up with a trann? These are the important questions, people. Six years from now, the World Cup will be in Brazil, where prostitution is legal, and out-of-towners need these helpful hints.

    Gregg Doyel-

    Take a read at Gregg Doyel's BLOG

    "...But I do hate the Reds, at this very moment anyway. I hate owner Bob Castellini at the moment for being a jock-sniffer extraordinaire who bought his way into several clubs before finally buying this one outright, and then brought along his old friend from St. Louis, Walt Jocketty, as an adviser..." Doyel

    I don't understand how a Journalist can 'objectively' hate anyone...or a franchise for that matter.

    I guess that he can get away with it because he's just blogging, but at the same time I am frustrated with the term jock-sniffer extraordinaire. As frustrated as I am with the Red's losing, I don't think that calling the owner of the team a jock-sniffer is a very respectable way to respond to the frustrations of dealing with the Reds.

    "I hate the fact that I'm speaking the truth but the Reds will complain about me and probably try, again, to keep me out of their clubhouse because they're not used to a media member with fangs." Doyel


    They are used to media members that are respectable. They get $hit on by just about every fan that they have, myself included, and they deal with a fairly harsh media and fan contingency considering this is compared to most markets, it's a small market team. I’m sure that the JOCK-SNIFFER would LOVE to have you in the club house of the team that he owns.

    Mr. Castellini wants to win, because he knows that a winning product will put some more butts in the seats. *It’s interesting that the Bengals can continue to suck and people keep spending their money on them…but people blame not going to the Reds games on their losing ways. Hmmmm- I wonder if the Baseball fans here in the Cincinnati area were spoiled by the Big Red Machine and since the Bengals haven’t ever had a Super Bowl win, we are okay with an 8-8.

    Wouldn’t most Reds’ fans be happy with an 81-81 season? This year- after the way that the season has started I think that 80 wins would be a good season. Am I off my rocker? Am I right? Anyone else have any opinions on this one?

    I normally refuse to rant about someone else’s work, or a BLOG for that matter, but after missing Gregg on the show here locally, I’ve tried to keep up with his BLOG and tonight, this caught my attention.

    I doubt he'll see this but, if you do Mr. Doyel, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this as well.

    I don't know if anyone on here really cares... I just saw this 'on the wire'

     

    I know that to me the NBA doesn't really matter anymore.  Like I've said a million times, I'll watch the finals and that's all.
