The Morning Wood - 09/11/2006

Stud: Roger Federer
Has there been anyone more dominant in tennis over a three year period? I’m no historian but I have my doubts. He has won 9 out of the last 14 Grand Slam events and seems to just be toying with the competition. Unless someone catches him on clay, it is light’s out. It was nice to see Roddick take a set and battle in the third, but like Vza mentioned on Friday, it just seems that Roddick was killing every shot and running himself ragged while Federer moved effortlessly and ripped silent winners. And now the latest is that he and Tiger Woods have formed the “shitting on our sports” club, which involves Dom P. and laughing about the lack of competition their white American colleagues provide.

Dud: Carolina Panthers
Everyone’s favorite pick to make the Super Bowl this year, this crew came out and stunk up the joint, losing 20-6 to the Hotlanta Falcons. Now they were missing uberstud Steve Smith, but you have to be better than this, especially when Michael Vick tosses his typical 10/22 up there. This just in, the Falcons are going to run the ball down your throats: make an adjustment.
P.S. Michael Vick should not be a QB. I’m sorry, just end the expirement. He is insanely explosive but 10/22? That’s not a QB’s line, that’s Shaq from the free throw stripe.

Talk Around the Cooler:
The Central is crazy as shit. The slutty Twins took three of four from the Tigers this weekend and are hoping to get Fran Liriano back this week. The White Sox , despite a rough stretch, are still on 3.5 out. This is the pennant race to watch this fall. The N.L. west just makes me feel dirty, like two fat people having sex in the back of a pick up truck. Jim Leyland has to be smoking a carton a day at this point.

Quick Hits...
Eh, not too much here: Ryan Howard is frigging amazing. Much ado about a banana. The Red Sox were finally able to get past the Royals. The Texans are already regretting their decision. I've got nothing.
