No more heroes anymore?

I heard today that my man Joseba Etxeberria has signed a new contract with Athletico Bilbao where he'll play the 2009/10 season for free. I wish I was a Basque so I could play for Bilbao. Ok, they haven't had a lot of success in recent years but the love of the club players like Etxeberria and Guerrero have and the love the fans have for those players is great to see in todays money driven world of football.

For about 5 years now if I'm flicking round the channels and I see Jerry Springer I always have to check it to see if Jamie Dundee's on it. But he never is. Well, until yesterday. This world can't be so bad in 2008 if some dude from England's flicking around the channels and see's a topless Jamie Dundee with a big "EVIL" tattoo on his belly talking about how he's a racist convict and is playing lonely women for cash money and a bed to sleep in when he gets out. Of course he slept with the niece too and her lazy ass skateboarding boyfriend comes out but Ice Ice Baby rips him a new one (although he did gas badly in the process). It's all a work and Dundee and Springer can barely keep straight faces. But who cares it's fun, which I think describes why I like wrestling but it's rarely fun anymore. Dundee and Springer have just transported the Memphis TV Studio into the Springer Studio, Jerry playing a sleazy Lance Russell (he even holds the mic the same way). Anyway, Jamie ends up with the niece and finishes with the line "I ain't rascist, I've got a colour TV". He'll probably be back on the show in another 6 months, maybe as a two timing white supremacist or a Nazi who slept with his sister. How anybody can forget him is beyond me. Wrestling made him.
