OMG! Need-to-Know Wednesday is totally LOL'ing at Celebrity Athlete Blogs!

by:C.M. Tomlin11/07/07
null Friends, Tomlin here, and today I'm offering up some praise for this great frontier we call the Internet. I don't know how much you guys know about it, but I myself recently fired the young Japanese web-developer who manages the technicalities of posting on this website for me and decided to start doing it myself. What I've found is that this "World Wide Web" is amazing! There's information everywhere you look. Why, just yesterday I learned not only that goldfish have the memory to learn to swim through a maze, but also that there's apparently a whole world out there of hot housewives who want me to call them. I'm not the only one discovering these joys -- professional athletes, as well, have begun to record their thoughts into blog form. The celebrity blog is a wonderful creature, to be sure, as it allows us inner passage into the minds of our heros. That's why lately I've been scouring the net to find some of the best celebrity athlete blogs available, and why I present excerpts to you today. Please enjoy, then, these clips from some of our greatest sports heros' personal websites and blogs. ------------------------------------ Manny Ramirez Boston Red Sox Blog: www.mannyramirezthoughts.org ...Winning the World Series the other night was great. I mean, it wasn't as great as when we did it two years ago, but it was great. And the fans were great. Not as great as two years ago, but still really good. The afterparty was fantastic. I'm not sure that the food was as good as the food at the other World Series afterparty, but it was still delicious. We were all pretty happy -- we've been happier, two years ago, but yeah, happy...Should I change the color of my do-rag? I've been thinking a lot about that lately..."

Then the Domino's guy came with my new Oreo Pizza and it was terrific! I wish I could eat an Oreo Pizza in my 2007 Lincoln Navigator. Its wheels really hug the road, but I think I'd better stick with snacking on T.G.I.Friday's Southwestern Egg Roll poppers, that might be better for driving...Maybe I'll shoot over to H.H. Gregg's later to see what deals they have. Kenmore appliances sure are the best, they keep my Hanes undergarments so white -- not like Hanes needs any help keeping up their fantastic quality... Tiki Barber Former New York Giant Blog: The Tiki Lounge ...I always like to tell children that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to.
