Draft Tonight

To everybody participating in FC Savannah, I'll be around my computer most of this evening leading up to the draft @ 10:30. If you guys have any questions just ask.

The Rich Get Richer

Former USC running back Emmanuel Moody will transfer to Florida. Moody said his reason for leaving was a "business decision". He was pretty far down the depth chart, and woud see limited playing time with the Trojans if he stayed. Moody rushed for 459 yards and 2 TDs for the Trojans in the 2006 season. He hopes to become the feature back in Urban Meyer's offense. My only advice for Moody is, handle yo business and get that money young player.

My Brother From Another Mother

Our friendly neighborhood Black Panther Society Chapter has made it clear who they will be pushing for this upcoming election. Yusef Shabazz, more affectionately known as Brother Shabazz, is running for mayor of Savannah with hopes of, " providing the black community with equal access to government and enjoy the same representation as any other group". Hmmm... sounds to me there is a new sheriff in town. Brother Shabazz has plenty of experience providing Savannah's finest with boiled crab and melons for many years at Shabazz on MLK. And the simple fact that he is a BLACK PANTHER proves he's an extremely reasonable person. These two variables clearly show that Mr. Brother Shabazz is a viable candidate this fall. Brother Shabazz's "rule with an iron fist" approach of government may be just what this city needs to bridge the gap here in Savannah. He has intrigued a few, if not several, with the idea of "empowerment zones" (basically organized crime). Yeah if any of you have ever watched Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York you could probably imagine how that would pan out. Assalamu Alaikum everyone.

If I were coach CMR my starting running back would be...

Bryan Gray...Idiot

Julio Franco will join the class A Rome Braves for the remainder of the minor league season. The Sand Gnats and Braves will meet for the 2,000th time this season, marking the first time two teams have ever done so in one season, but this time Julio will be @ first. I haven't been this excited since Steve Avery pitched a few innings at Grayson years ago. The New York Sand Gnats and Robby Covino will take on Julio and the Braves August 21-23 at Grayson. Be there.

Employee of the Week

"[Beech] hit him with a cut fastball in the left calf," John said, according to the Post. "And the next thing you know, Offerman's going to the mound with his bat over his head taking swings at Beech. He took at least two, maybe even three [swings]."

Congratulations to Jose Offerman for being named the Office's first Employee of the Week! After a pretty decent 15 year career in the Major Leagues, Senor Offerman decided to return to his roots, the AAA Lon Island Ducks. Picture this, a pitcher armed with a glove, a catcher with all of his gear, and Senor Offerman toting a Louisville Slugger. Who wins? Ding, ding, the Bridgeport Connecticut Sherrifs Department wins, $10,000.00 to be exact. Jose hit a home run off of Matt Beech in the first, but apparently that wasn't good enough. He's charged with 2 counts of felony assault. He broke Beech's finger and hit the catcher, John Nathan, in the back of the head. WOW. Hands down, this exemplifies what the Office is all about. "Don't tread on me", exclaimed Senor Offerman in broken english or spanish.



This weeks runners up were Adam "Pacman" Jones, Joey Harrington, and Bryan Gray. Better luck next week brothers!

Take that Michael Vick.

The Absolute Best Quote Ever

"I know this is random, but I just want to clear this up for people out there. There are these things called shark attacks, but there is no such thing as a shark attack. I have never seen a real shark attack. I know you’re making a weird face as you’re reading this. OK people, a shark attack is not what we see on TV and what people portray it as. We’re humans. We live on land. Sharks live in water. So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack. A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack. Now, if you’re chilling in the water, that is called invasion of space. So I have never heard of a shark attack. When I see on the news where it’s like, “There have been 10 shark attacks,” I’m like, “Hey, for real?! They’re just running around? Sharks are walking now, huh! We live on the land, we don’t live underwater.”

Wow thanks Gilbert for clear this matter up for all of us. I'm totally cool with sharks now.

Poor Scott Thorman

Scott Thorman just got a kick in the balls on Monday. With Schuerholz making the trade for Mark Teixeira, Scott may never see any playing time. Some will say this is a good thing. Teixeira brings a lot of excitement to a team that is in need of a boost. The Braves have had absolutely no production from first base, but that will change. A big Thank You goes out to the Texas Rangers for being so terrible and recognizing it. John Daniels and his organization unloaded their best player and a pretty darn good pitcher in Ron Mahay. We did have to say bye to Jarrod Saltalamachia (spell check told me to fuck off). I'm sure he's going to put up good numbers, but I think Brian McCann is OK. Teixeira's ability has been compared to that of Flex Allman, and we all know what he's capable of.

The next few years are looking like a thing of beauty. The Braves are scoring runs, Andruw Jones will not be back after this year, and Chuck James is looking like Tom Glavine reinvented. Also on Monday, the Braves front office took a huge dump on the Kansas City Royals. Octavio Dotel for Kyle Davies? Are you serious? Kyle Davies will go down in history as, statistically, one of the worst pitchers EVER. Dotel had Tommy John surgery a few years back, but he is pretty close to where he was in the '01-02 season (which was really good). The starting pitching staff will continue lean on badasses like Chuck James and Corey Dixon, so nothing to worry about there. Schuerholz and the Braves aren't bull shitting this time. The team was bad last year, but the GM has pieced together a really really good lineup, so put your New York Sand Gnats posters away fags.
