After more than a year, Seattle Hometown Homers is back with new posts. Fresh out of prison (a job in the mortgage industry), I'm back and ready to spew my anger and frustrations and direct my hate towards all that get in my path. Enjoy!

Golf Team Wedgie Hazing Sends Georgia Student to the Emergency Room
No joke. This really happened. From Fox News:
A 13-year-old Georgia student riding a school bus received a “wedgie” during a school hazing incident so painful that his mother took him to the emergency room.
WJXT-TV reported that the boy, who wished to remain anonymous, is a member of the Charlton County High School junior varsity golf team. He was riding the bus along with varsity members, who held him upside down.

WJXT-TV reported that the boy, who wished to remain anonymous, is a member of the Charlton County High School junior varsity golf team. He was riding the bus along with varsity members, who held him upside down.
According to WJXT-TV, two older students called the boy to the back of the bus and, in addition to the wedgie, punched the 13-year-old in the groin and stomach — all as a part of an initiation ritual.
"He was bent over and couldn't hardly walk. He cried for probably 30 minutes," Carol said
"It's not funny. It went beyond being a funny little prank," Carol said. "Sometimes people don't know when enough is enough, and I think that's what happened here."
Come on Carol. You have never been a 13 year old boy. Wedgies are a rite of passage for young boys. Sorry to say but your kid is a pussy. Other kids probably got the same treatment and didn't cry for 30 minutes like a little bitch. Your whole family should be punished with ATOMIC wedgies for being related to this guy.
Sergio Didn't Spit...He Just Let it go Down
"I didn't spit. I just let it go down," said Sergio.
Just let what go down? According to Sergio it wasn't spit. I'm no doctor, but it looked alot like spit. And after reviewing the following video, it is apparent that a combination of mucus and saliva were released from his mouth into the cup. Isn't that spit? Here's the video:
Golf is a frustrating sport. I know from experience. And I can't begin to understand how frustrating it is to lose to Tiger Woods all the time. So I've decided to give Sergio a pass on this one.
Personally, I've been so mad that I wanted to do more than spit in the cup. I'm just lucky the only person I have to duck is the course marshall. Sergio had the crowds there and the millions watching on TV. So maybe a bad choice at the time but its a better way to deal with his frustration than flinging a pitching wedge into the gallery.

Vince Young Fixed the Miss USA Contest
OK. I'll admit it. I watched some of the Miss USA contest this last weekend. I'm not proud of it but it happened and I caught this little gem. It was the final question section of the pageant. Miss Tennessee, Rachel Smith, was called to the mic. Her final question was from one of the judges, Tennessee Titan quarterback Vince Young. I noticed Young and Miss Tennessee exchanging looks and a smile. She nailed the question and went on to become the new Miss USA.
Does this sound like a fix at all? Mr. Tennessee Vince Young is one of the judges and Miss Tennessee comes away with the crown? There's definitely a conflict of interest here. My prediction is they will wait a few months and then come out as a couple. I can't say I'd do it any different than Young did. Perhaps I'd fornicate with as many states as possible first, but who's saying he didn't do that too. Lucky fucker.

Sonics Dance Team Profile: Staci
This week's Sonics Dance Team girl is the lovely Staci. I've actually met Staci through a promotion at Pizza Hut. She and another Dance Team member delivered me a pizza one Sunday afternoon. Talk about a big surprise. I just got done taking three giant bong hits when the doorbell rang. When I opened up the door I had no clue what was going on. Two pretty girls wearing Sonics green and Gold were handing me my meatlovers and breadsticks. I ran upstairs and grabbed my camera and the pic is below.
I also know a couple friends at work that know Staci. They tell me that she lives a sort of double-life. I don't want to start any rumors, but again what kind of fake-ass journalist would I be if I didn't. Word on the street is that she loves a little injection of H. A friend of my friend at work actually supplied her with her stuff. Whatever she's taking, it works. She's a firecracker!

In The News
Here's some of the blog stories this week that caught my eye:

Seahawks re-sign Bobby Engram
I talk alot of trash about athletes on my blog. I guess I'm just an angry guy. So I decided to write something nice about #84 Bobby Engram. According to the Seattle Times:
"The Seahawks re-signed Bobby Engram, the team announced on Friday afternoon.
Engram was an unrestricted free agent, who has played the past six seasons in Seattle. He caught a team-high 67 passes in 2005, the year the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl.
Engram, 34, visited the Saints as a free agent, but chose to re-sign with Seattle. The team announced it as a multi-year contract. Exact terms of the deal were not available."
Bobby Engram has been the most consistent receiver for the Hawks since he joined the team six years ago. He is Hasslebeck's favorite target on 3rd down and unlike many Seahawks of the past years (D-Jack, Koren Robinson, Jerramy Stevens) Engram can catch the ball on a consistent basis. Engram also brings a presence in the locker room.
"He has been an integral part of this offense in recent seasons," Seahawks president Tim Ruskell said in a statement released by the team, "and will continue to bring veteran leadership in the locker room."
Now the Hawks are free to trade D-Jack although I heard John Clayton on the radio today say the best we could get is a 3rd round pick. Not sure if that is worth it although Seattle has depth at WR with Deion Branch, Engram and Nate Burleson all under contract and D.J. Hackett as a restricted free agent.
Ron Mexico breaks his silence in Bottlegate
Michael Vick spoke for the first time regarding the January 17th incident that took place at Miami International Airport. It took him over two month to come up with a good excuse. And this is what he came up with. He was hiding jewelry in the bottle. Jewelry?? That's the best he could come up with after two months to think about it? Sounds alot like a stoner.
And the Maimi-Dade PD is not buying his story either. This from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"That's the first we've heard of that," Detective Nelda Fonticella, said when asked if Vick was carrying jewelry in the bottle. "If he has any kind of problem with the way things were handled, then he needs to talk to internal affairs."
Then Vick pokes himself in the eye, forces out a couple tears and claims he's the victim in this case:
"How do you think that made me feel? That was tough on me. That was tough on my family and friends because we knew those accusations weren't right. I said to myself, why even say anything. At the time people were not going to believe me. I just wanted to wait for the results to come back and let the smoke clear and get my head together and enjoy my offseason. It's over. I was cleared, and I was happy about that."
Let the smoke clear? Probably not the best choice of words, Ron. Again, sounds alot like a pothead. Next time you and Marcus should come up with your story before you take bong hits.
Deadspin has a great take on this story.

Agent 0 is clutch
I was excited last night to be able to watch Gilbert Arenas play against the Sonics last night. I wanted to see Ray Allen and Agent 0 go at each other. That didn't happen because Allen sat out due to inflammation in his ankle. But Arenas didn't disappoint. He was a one man show pouring in 42 points including a running bank shot at the buzzer to sink the Sonics. I got the shot on video and here it is:
My question is why didn't the Sonics choose to double Arenas on that last possession? I think it has to do with the fact that coach Bob Hill is an idiot. This from the Seattle Times:
"Sonics coach Bob Hill said he didn't want to double-team Arenas to get the ball out of his hands, because Arenas could have passed to an open player."
So let me get this right. You would rather have the best player on the court take the last shot? That makes no sense. You have to make someone other than Arenas beat you. Hill will be looking for a new job soon.
