U-G-L-Y, You ain't got no alibi...

I'm not sure why I felt like starting this one with a "Wildcats" reference, so don't ask, okay?

This summer has to be a low point for American men's professional sports, doesn't it?

The NBA's brightest stars roll one down their legs in Athens.

The brightest umm... somewhat well-known players of the MLS don't qualify for Athens.

Ditto for Major League Baseball.

Now, the hockey players are sucking ass in the World Championships. A 2-1 loss to Canada in Montreal is kind of understandable, but getting reamed 3-1 by the Russians on home ice? Come on. Yeah, they beat Slovakia, but that team got reamed 5-1 by the Canucks a couple nights earlier.

Unless we can absolutely annihilate the Euros at the Ryder Cup, or somehow trick the other countries into starting a World Cup of American Football before the end of the calender year, this has to go down as one of the worst years in history for American sports on the world stage, right?

By the way, I'm headed to Columbus for the OSU season opener in about 15 minutes, and really don't give a crap about anything else right now.

And don't be surprised if Rutgers pulls off a big upset over Michigan State tomorrow.

That is all.
