We are the champions – my friends
And we'll keep on fighting – till the end –
We are the champions –
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions – of the world.                                                  

                                                   – Queen

Formula One? A Spaniard.

Baseball? The Japanese.

Darts? Damn Europeans again.

Ryder Cup? Tiger, Mickelson, Furyk, Cink, Toms, Verplank and gang got their collective golf swing asses hooked by the Old Country.

Basketball? Oh yea, soccer powerhouse Spain hosted that trophy.

Hockey? Freakin’ Swedes…and became the first nation in history to capture Olympic and IIHF World Championship Gold in the same year. 

Football? Italy.

What is it about us, or, the U.S. We cannot win an international if we hired Balco. We’ve tried. Ask Floyd Landis.

However, as I write, we are on the verge of taking home one of the most prestigious motorsports trophies on the globe courtesy of The Kentucky Kid. Nicky Hayden is just two races away from clinching the MotoGP Championship. It will be the first time since an American motorcyclist named Roberts did it in 2000.

The drama that is running large in this horse powered vestibule if absolutely FREAK. What was about a fifty point lead in July is now down to a finger-less baker’s dozen thanks to The Doctor Valentino Rossi. He decided to clock in four races ago and make this a good ol’ American drag race for pink slips.

Five-time MotoGP title holder Rossi is now close enough to go Mo Howard on The Kid’s leathers. This with three Freakin’ DNFs for the year.

Hell, Kasey Kahne gets one OUT in the Chase and he turns in his keys.

Does this say more about the patients of The Doctor or the sandbox for The Kid? Not sure.

I do know this. I want the that Red Honda to ride up the Whites of Rossi’s eyes as the Kentucky Blue Grass Boy makes us Americans proud.

Nicky, just beat some ass baby and Freak Nation, wave the flag with me. It's our only chance to win a legitimate international for a while.

That's what I Freakin' think.
