About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

It is blazing hot, I mean burning up outside. But the edition of Walker’s Rants is flaming.  So beware because you might burn your eyes out reading this hot fire.  Now that the trash talking is out of the way, let’s get this show on the road, Walker’s Rants are a go.

 

The Lakers are not done just yet, there’s still some life support in there…

 

Damn you Big Brown…

 

The NBA has to find a way to allow the games to flow more…

 

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lukas Podolski, the man crush continues…

 

The Braves are a good team. They just make dumb plays…

 

Thank you U.S. Open organizers for giving us the opening round pairing we want to see…

 

Who the hell is Paul Powe?

 

41 points in the fourth quarter?

 

The U.S.A. Eagles played like crap on Saturday…

 

I have no problem with Phil Jackson going after the refs in the wake of Game 2…

 

How hard is it to keep up with your license and registration?

 

Cedrick Benson is an idiot…

 

Even with McFadden in camp on time, the Raiders will go well bellow .500 next season…

 

Hasek is not retiring at the top of his game when it was Osgood who took Detroit to the Cup…

 

Congrats to the D.C. Slayers for jumping out and winning their season opener…

 

Pean watch your back because the pain train is coming for you…

 

No way Pretty Boy Floyd goes to MMA, he likes his payday too much…

 

The horse didn’t want to run, if you have a problem with that go take it up with the horse…

 

At least the U.S.A didn’t go 0-3 on their friendly tour…

The kids BEEN able to play, it kills me that his development has taken as long as it has. I was on the Podolski train in '04 when he was originally was capped by Germany and officially no longer able to play for his home country - Polska!

No doubt he's been a balla since he hit the international scene. Just waiting to have that big break through on his club team, but it will come.

Instead of "Damn You Big Brown" don't you mean "Damn you other 8 horses that finished ahead of Big Brown"?


As a fan of thoroughbred racing for the past almost 30 years, here's some advice... Get used to it. Charismatic, Real Quiet, Silver Charm, Sunday Silence, Alysheba, Spectacular Bid, etc and so forth... Belmont is just slightly too long for the horses that do well in the shorter races. And all of the horses I mentioned were better horses in tougher fields than Big Brown... as evidenced by the fact that none of them came in last at Belmont.

It's fun!

Look at it another way. A truly great horse, Secretariat, War Admiral, etc, won by a larger margin at Belmont because its a longer race. They were able to run the other horses into the ground.

And, they never once "didn't feel like running."

This was a big deal because the Triple Crown hasn't happened in 30 years, but in truth, Big Brown isn't that good a horse. If he was, he would have won by ten lengths, going away.

Yup.

Real Quiet may have come closest to winning the Triple, but in my book Charismatic was the best horse of the last 30 years and WOULD have won if he didn't break his leg down the stretch (and still valiently finished third)


Me and my roomate at the time had a huge party in '99 for all three races and when Charismatic went down everybody there was crying and sobbing. It was so sad. Of course, adult beverages played on the emotinal part of the race... but it was such a bummer. Of course, we were all waiting for him to get put down on the track, but they actually saved him. And of course he went on to breed like a true champion, not like that gay horse War Emblem. (Seriously, he won't mount fillies or mares but he will try to mount stallions)

So when a horse doesn't pull the Triple, it's peanuts in comparison for me.
