RAIN BOOT WRANGLING!!!

The World Record for Rain Boot tossing is 179.14 feet...

Well now isn't that interesting...I can think of two professional football teams that could use this record holder...one happens to be in Detroit and the other in Dallas...and although Detroit finished with a far worse record for the season than the Cowboys did...the citizens of Dallas are NOT as attuned to suffering long periods of mediocrity...so they get first dibs on this Dilbert...whoever it is...I don't get it really...why is it that in this day and age ANYONE with half a banana for a brain can set a World Record doing something NOBODY else ever thought of???  I mean...am I missing something here???  Is there an International Rain Boot Tossing Championship???  NO...NOT even in the Special Olympics...which can ONLY mean one thing...this individual stands alone on the Podium of Patheticism...World Record holders should be common household names...ANYONE know who the current Rain Boot tossing turdball is??? EXACTLY...and I hafta jump up on my own soapbox here for a minute...because in my lifetime sports idols and icons from all corners of the sports industry were subject to some of the most intense anti-doping testing on the planet...just take a look at current events...Lance Armstrong ring a bell???  He's all over the news for finally coming forward and admitting he had BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS as part of his battle with TESTICLE CANCER...what a cheating bastard...he decided to try and SURVIVE at all costs...and IDGAF if he took steroids or performance enhancing drugs to ensure the longevity of life...or if he did it simply because he wanted to gain and maintain an edge on the competition...look it's very very simple...major sports franchises focus on one simple factor...WINNING...well everywhere but in Detroit...all competitive endeavors...sports...war...business...revolve around a common goal...to WIN at all costs...Imma huge fan of several different sports...Football...Baseball...Hockey...Golf...Surfing...just to name a few...and I hafta be honest...especially where baseball is concerned...I would rather go to a game and see someone like Mark McGuire or Barry Bonds hit a thundering shot over the right field stadium wall and out into the SF Bay any given day...because it enhances the experience of going to the game...if I'm gonna be sitting in the stands...paying $8.00 for a 50 cent hotdog...$10.00 for an 8oz. cup of beer that's ONLY 3/4 full...you better put a product on the field that makes me wanna come back for more...I think it was assinine and blasphemous for the BBWAA to neglect the opportunity to enshrine ANY player into the Hall of Fame this year...the basic theory of anti-doping testing is to keep the games clean and pure...to provide a LEVEL playing field for everyone that makes the Grand Stage...whadda bunch of BULLSHIT...one of the claims being made is that HGH and Creatine supplements that players like Mark and Barry supposedly took...and really there is NO doubt that either of them took these drugs...just look at their Rookie Cards compared to the ones issued for their final seasons...both were twigs when they made the majors...and MAMMOTHS when they left...anyway baseball gurus believe these supplements not only caused abnormal muscle growth but also assisted these players with enhanced vision capabilities...they were able to SEE the ball better than others...SFW ( So F**kin' What)...how many OTHER players wear glasses??? and here's the thing that REALLY pisses me off with the whole baseball HOF system...they don't wanna damage the game by including modern day drugged players in the hallowed halls of the Big House in Cooperstown because they CHEATED...how many pitchers from the past have made it into the hall of fame...dozens...if not hundreds...and while these players may or may not have been using drugs...it wasn't tested for back then...imagine that...but what they did do was use EVERY trick of the trade at their disposal...lubricating the ball with vaseline...spit...whatever they could come up wiith..and for what???  To get an advantage over the opposing teams hitters...it doesn't matter if it's drugs or material modifications...CHEATING is CHEATING...and there isn't ONE single person involved with a competitive endeavor that ISN'T looking for an advantage...if you are NOT cheating you are NOT playing to win...I mean hell I even cheat when I can...as a matter of fact I just finished my first Do It Yourself eBook...it's blank and comes with a pen!!!
