Don Chavez

So as I get ready for today’s big Kentucky Derby prep races, I can’t help but notice that again I will most likely cross paths with Hammerin’ Hank Goldberg.  Or as his ESPN bio says, he’s called Hammerin’ Hank “for his tough opinion on topical issues”.  In other words, Hank is great at bullshitting and his often wrong opinion should be considered honorable because he goes against the grain.  I’m sure he would come back with something along the lines of “who says I consider myself honorable for going against the grain”.  However, Mush you’re forgetting something, according to what I can find on the Net, you are a Pro Football analyist.  You need to understand something…the Singletary we talk about is a horse, not a linebacker. 

As I read on, you also have a radio show in Miami during the morning rush hour.  I’m assuming that everyone has Sirius radio down there.  I don’t understand how an entire city can listen to your BS for 3 hours a morning, and that radio execs can continue to ask you to come back year after year.  I don’t understand how you try to pass yourself off as a horse racing expert when people use your picks as a method of who to eliminate.  However, I do give praise to ABC for hiring Jerry Bailey, and finally giving the public someone who is knowledgable on the sport of horse racing, and can give an explaination for his picks rather than blow smoke up our ass for 30 seconds.  Jerry is a class act, and I value his insight.  Mush, I consider your picks as a source of comedy…low grade comedy that I can find down in the bowels of Suffolk Downs during mid-winter simulcast.

So who will it be this week Mush?  I’ve already taken Lawyer Ron, hoping to extinguish my proposed “Don Chavez Jinx”.  I beg of you, please don’t back this horse.  If you do, I have no way to distinguish whether there is a “Don Chavez Jinx”, or it’s just your jinx which is contributing this bad run.
