BackBITES

Juiced Balls of Brass:

Sportsofa is speechless at the crass audacity and inhumanity of former NFL hero, OJ Simpson.

We’re not even gonna trot out the story … just does that guy not think or know that the victims of the murder he was acquitted of have friends and family still hurting for and missing them? Does he not get that their lives were torn from them?

Has this guy no shame … just shut up!

And shame on FOX for showing this sham.

Knight moves:

Is it over yet? Can I come out now? Is it safe to put the radio on? Never heard such a frenzied fuss over not-that-much as was dished over the Bobby Knight ‘chinning’ affair.

When does something become an issue? Apparently is nothing to do with when the victim makes it an issue; nor when the victims friends or family make it an issue.

Hot dog no! It’s when the media talking heads say so; that’s when it’s an issue.

Enough with it already.

Redsox Bid-up

O-M-G! $51 million!

Just to say “Hi”?

Just to keep the Yankees from saying “Hi”?

Theo Epstein better know what he’s doing and/or how to bluff. Or are the ’sox really going to over-commit some $100 million on Daisuke Matsuzaka? On a roll-of-the dice?

Really?

With no middle-relievers worth a toss? With Jonathon Papelbon switching from closer (not to mention medical issues) and leaving a massive void there? It makes no sense.

It’s got to be a Keep-him-off-the-yankees bluff.

And if it isn’t … well it seems to sportSOFA that the Redsox have finally traded-in the high-ground in their rivallry with the high-rollers from Yankee town.
