Orioles, Ryders, and Bears. Oh My!

Ok. Time for weekend homework. Nothing too hard here just current events. I know. I'm giving new homework without an answer to the last assignment. -10 points for questioning me! Here we go!

1) Who won the Ryder Cup?
2) Did the bears win?
3) What happened at the Orioles game on Thursday?

-------------------Cathy's Answer----------------
1.) The Europeans totally won the Ryder Cup, and sad to say but the
Americans didn't have prayer. Although, I tried to figure out how the
scoring worked, and it's beyond me. This halves, and 2 # 3, business, yeah,
I don't get it. So, I know I'll get graded down for that, but please know
that I tried.
2.) The Bears WON!!! This is sooo exciting, it's the first time since 1991
that we've had a 3-0 wins in the first three games. And Grossman isn't hurt.
I think he's my new favorite player, for one, he's way hotter than Urlaker,
and two, he's been the underdog and everyone is waiting for him to get hurt.
So, maybe he shouldn't be my favorite player, I might be bad luck. Anyway,
he didn't have a great day, but Gould's kicking and the teamwork pulled them
through. I think they're in for a good season.
3) So at the Orioles game on Thursday about 1000 fans
walked out at 5:08, the time signifies Brooks Robinson (No. 5) and Cal
Ripken (No. 8)former star players. They were protesting Angelos, the owner,
I think, and his piss poor ownership skills. The poor team has had a losing
streak of coming on 9 years. I think it might be time to rethink some
things, but what do I know, I'm just a nurse. And I think this is what these
fans were thinking. The protest was organized by Nestor Aparicio, owner of
radio station WNST-AM and the nephew of former Oriole shortstop Luis
Aparicio. They were trying to get between 3000-10,000 fans but that didn't
work out. But they had enough to make their point, and that's what's
important.


-------------------Grade-------------------
A+ you get 104.3%

You actually get extra points for not understanding the scoring system of the Ryder Cup. It's like the metric system. Nobody understands it and it is of no use to us. The Bears did win but it was close. They played like crap. Next week will be a tough game. Good work on the Orioles. I would have also accepted "Who cares about the Orioles? They will never beat Boston and the God Damn Yankees!!!"


Anyone out there can feel free to help Cathy by commenting on the post. I will grade her answers and give my response in an update to this post. Good Luck!!!

Cathy,

Bonus Points for knowing that Steve was really asking..."Who's hotter, Urlacher or Grossman?"
