1 Comment on Williams may be courageous after all

It’s easy to become philosophical when you think of Ricky Williams.

Oh, I’m sure people will have their theories about Williams. Some accuse him of being a pothead, and I definitely agree that this is widely accepted in the NBA, but it’s beyond that. Others, like the fantasy freaks, call him lazy and selfish. The masses will call him an unknown, who believes that he is beyond football.

He just wants want to do something more than carrying a football. (Sounds a little like unselfish Pat Tillman.)

And he might be a saint for it (not the New Orlean kind).

Season sinking for Cubs

Now that Latroy Hawkins has proved his point–that he can’t be a closer–the Chicago Cubs have little else to prove that they are truly choke artists in a season slated for destiny. What it’s really time for is to see if Dusty Baker is really a miracle worker.

Homeruns are great. Whack, crack, boom, pow. They’re big. The Cubs are good at doing so with 117 of them, second most in the National League. Great.

With a few exceptions, nobody tries to hit more homeruns than Sammy Sosa. He is the master of putting balls on Waveland Avenue, which would explain why fans love him. He’s so powerful that not only can he hit homers to the opposite field, but he once missed 30 games because a sneeze caused severe muscle strains in his back.
