Who the Heck is Tom L.?
..
--Our once undefeated and Spartan like Lancer Lacrosse team has slipped from 3-0 to 4-2 in just five days. That's OK though. Thomas is one of the best teams in the county, and we hadn't played a game in over 2 and a half weeks before we played Aquinas. No worries though, we're going to bounce back. We're still 1-1 in the division and 3-1 in out of division games. Our offense has been stifled in the last three games, as we have failed to reach the 10 goal mark in any of our last three games. Games against HFL and Greece tonight and on Saturday will give us a chance to bounce back from a tough start to a week.
..
--Speaking of Saturday the much anticipated NFL draft is coming up. Nobody knows for sure what's going to happen, aside from maybe Chris Mortenson. The Raiders need a quarterback, that's for sure, but what's not for sure is what Al Davis is going to do with that pick. The obvious choice is for them to grab Jamarcus Russell, but I'm sure Paulie Walnuts over there in Oakland will be more than willing to trade down to get a veteran.
..
I hope somehow that the Buffalo Billys end up with Adrian Peterson. Peterson is a man-child who attempted to come out of high school into the draft the year that Clarrett tried to beat the system. If the Bills can draft him, they immediately get a running back that can take it to the house every time he touches the rock. They are probably going to have to give a lot to get up that high to grab him, but I don't see anything else in this draft that can help them as much as he can. Obviously their safe pick would be to draft Patrick Willis or Reggie Nelson, each of which are great players, but neither of which are quite on the level that Peterson is at.
..
--In regards to a previous posting topic, I think I need to defend myself. I think that it's failry obvious that aside from Tom L in baseball (The obvious pick), that Roger Federer is the most dominant athlete in the world right now. He has won 10 majors at the age of 25 while Tiger Woods has won 12 at the age of 31. If someone was to say that Federer would score 20 majors in the next six years, I would believe them. The competition just isn't there, and he knows that. He is something else and always seems to close. Whereas the once impenatrable Tiger Woods couldn't close on a Masters when it was his for the taking. The winner shot over par. Do you think that if Andy Roddick had 35 unforced errors that he would beat Federer. Exactly. There is now way to actually compare these two because their respective sports are so different, but I think because of age and recent success Federer has the edge.
..
--Speaking of Edge (And no, these traansitions seem to happen, they aren't planned), Backlash is this Sunday. I probably will not be ordering it due to Entourage and Sopranos, but I'm fairly certain that it would be exciting. Although the headliner was the fatal four-way for the championship (and I am certain that it would be a great match), I would much rather watch the Last Man Standing Match between the Undertaker and Batista. Their match at Wrestlemania was nothing short of fantastic whereas the main event between Shawn Michaels and John Cena was mediocre. Although I am a huge Orton and Michaels fan, and I also like Edge. As long as Cena doesn't win I will be ok.
..
--Speaking of not winning, how about the Yankees. I understand that it's early in the season and that we're a little banged up, but come on. Losing to teams like the Devil Rays is just embarassing. But there is confidence yet. Shane-O-Mac was talkin' a lot of shit the other day in Spanish class about the sweep. This was understandable, but he wouldn't shut up about it. So I threw out the ol' I'll bet you one hundred dollars that the Yankees win the division. he immediately shut up. There is still a confidence, even in the wake of a three game sweep, that the Yankees are the team to Beat in the east. Although we aren't quite as successful thus far as our NL foes from Queens.
..
--Speaking of Queens, Entourage hasn't done much this year. There has been laughs, and I have thouroughly enjoyed every episode, but we haven't gotten anywhere. Vince hasn't done a movie since Aquaman, yet there seems to be an endless amount of money. Ari is becoming a pussy, although he did bounce back at the end there. Drama is still the man though. You know you're a bad ass when you can throw out the "Bro's right, the whispering stops now! Or nobody's gettin' a souphley at dinner tonight." That's intimidation.
..
--Speaking of intimidation, Tony Soprano is very intimidating. In each of these subpar episodes thus far Tony has at least at one point let either Bobby, Christopher, or Paulie think that he was going to whack them off (haha). I think that he's going to go through with this for everybody in his crew than it will culminate in his death. Because right now, nobody should fuck with Phil Leotardo. He is the American Bad Ass right now. Also the American Douchebag by killing off everyone he talks to, but whatever you gotta do bro.
..
--Speaking of killing people for success, Which do you prefer, Coca Cola, or Pepsie Product. Personally I have always been partial to Pepsi because of the Mountain Dew, but now I'm curious to see what all five of my readers like. That means you Sisson.
..
--BTW, Sisson might be the man at faceoffs, but his shit is whack in wiffle ball.

I once saw Tom L. put a wiffle ball on the plaza roof. If some one were to tell me that was gonna happen i dont think i would have believed it was possible. Adrian Peterson is a man child, too bad he gets hurt alot and he'll never be able to rack up a buttload of carries like u want to do with a stud running back. Speaking of running back, we beat HF-L today in a pretty sweet game. Their football teams running back is Zach Whyte(#8) and i can just imagine that kid getting torn apart by linebackers. Pepsi products are way better. Adam Sisson, you sly dog. If any ladies read this(possibly CC), they should consider giving me a call. I could show them a good time.

Just to set everyone here straight, pepsi is the superior beverage. I'm sorry anonymous, but your gonna have to make a better case than that. Tony Soprano is intimidating, but is also a very large and out of shape man. I'd like to think I could kick his ass any day of the week. I'm a firm believer that quickness beats strength. As for Sisson,he indeed sucks at wiffle ball. But the good news is that his tremendous face-off abilities will get him far.Pending on what happens over the summer, and how much he grows as a face-off man, I believe Sisson has the chance to be the first Eastridge lacrosse player to go D-1.

Euge, I'd like to quote our chem teacher Mrs Green when I say "You are the least intimidating person I have ever met."

thanks for the compliments on my faceoff skills. and yes, i do suck the big one at wiffle ball. but in my defense, that was my first time swinging a bat since my old baseball playing days in 7th grade where i sat the bench. overall, i would say pepsi is definitely better, considering it absolutely owns coke. it also has mountain dew, which is pretty much the best drink ever made.

I feel like an accomplished young man. Adam Sisson has commented on my blog. How many people can say that?

Coca-Cola Co. as a conglomerate is my preference over Pepsi Co, even though I will always have a soft spot for Liquid Heaven.

In terms of Federer vs Tiger, you bring up the age factor but that is way off. In tennis, you're essentially physically forced to retire at 30, whereas it is not crazy to think Tiger can win majors until he is 45. It is also a different sport to win in logistically speaking. Can you imagine if every PGA event was a match play 1-on-1 tournament like tennis is? Instead of beating the entire field, he'd only have to beat 1 guy each day for a handful of days. He'd win 95% of the events on tour that year. And again, I think the overall level of competition in golf is higher than tennis right now.

I think Sopranos has been brilliant and although off to a slow start, the past two Entourages have gotten back to form.
