Ok, fireplace is blazing… right?! Check, Patron is flowin?! Yesss sirr!!!, What a life. That basically described my weekend. Everything was just a good old solid, except Saturdays sports was kind of lame. Very happy MD beat BC, I just really can’t stand
The first weeks of the L are in the bag and what have we learned. We learned KG (as mentioned in my earlier blog) is playin like he on a mission. We learned that Wiz our in serious trouble. I was scanning Gilly blog: http://my.nba.com/forum.jspa?forumID=400032200 and it doesn’t look good, he been playin major minutes and his knee has already been drained. The scary part about the Wiz is they have been playin bad, the big # have pout up good numbers and Brendan Haywood has been havin a career year and there still 0-5. they got make move, me personally I would love to trade Brendan for Brad Miller, that will give Brendan a fresh start and he will be a fine player; it gives the Wiz the gr8 passing big man that it a must for the Princeton Offense. Can one imagine the wings spread and Gilly back door his man and Miller hittin him from the high-post wit a perfect bounce pass. Sitting in front of my fire I was sitting Indian style and thinking about diff offense and the beauty of basketball when I was inttrupeted but Tmz.com (tv show) they had a clip about The Doggfather, has to be one of the funniest things I ever saw. Im sorry I couldn’t embed but here the link please watch and laff: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid353549946/bctid1293608637
Anyways back to the beauty of basketball, mainly the
Very deep stuff he had some major upset and major scares in the nc2a tourney. Watch and learn suckas. Speakin of Nc2a my boy OJ had a killer game albeit in a loss to Mercer… which got me to thinking about upsets already, Wat the deal wit
U can really o-d on this stuff. In a sidenote, I was watchin the Notre Dame game and was really in shock. It one thing to have some injuries and lose games, that happens in football, but to see the team lose to service academy’s is just unacceptable. Can u imagine the gap in athletic budgets between ND and Air-force, it has to be a diff. of about 100 mill. I found this clip by Dr. Boyce Watkins :
Peep his website: http://www.boycewatkins.com/
It’s an interesting concept/idea, I’m kind of torn to be honest, I’m a diehard Notre Dame, been one since my dad let me stay up late for the 1989 Natl. Championship game and I saw Rocket Ismail took the kick-off back and I fell in love wit those Golden Helmets. Unfortunately cant let me love be blinded by the god (touchdown jesus) awful teams. Was it blatant racism exercised at the expense of Ty Willingham, I think that pretty obvious now. Every coach should have 4 yrs min. ot prove that they can or cannot handle the job, firing him 3 yrs into his contract wit a winning record is unheard of. Now the kicker is wat if all elite Black athletes boycotted Notre Dame………..Imagine that. That would rock the sporting world on fire…….the power would inevitably return to the people oops I mean players. Stay Tuned.
Tuesday Night Special
Man the traffic coming home has been great, I’ve even managed to get a round of bowling in. Now I can admit I’m not a the best bowler, hell I have no strategy or form, in fact I just try to throw that son of a gun down the lane as hard as I can which usually end up in the gutter. But for my last frame I was like PT Weber (u know the dood who wears the sunglasses after NFL countdown), 3 str8 strikes……….an amazing feeling, comparable to a weekend marathon of real world/road rules challenge on MTV or and Intervention marathon on A&E. Anyways since it was the Bones-House medical drama on fox night, I was sanctioned to the backroom to watch ‘Cuse and St Joes. It got me thinking about that magical 2003 run, man that was a squad, the Mel-man, Gerry Mac, Colin Firth(the biggest stiff in college-basketball history), Duaney and I forgot the the other starter. I remember watchin PTI wit the big homey Mikey; were very big Melo fans since he represents East b’more not far from us; Tony asks him how ya’ll gonna do in the Nc2a, he says “if we get a 3 seed or better chalk us up for the chip”. Classic Mel man line let hope one of the great incoming freshman can have the same Swag.
A real quick entry from the "U cant blame Davey Stern" office:
I was watching the De'twat and Lakers game last night and they made injured Chauncey Billups watch the game in the locker room because he did not have on a Blazer on. Now u can look at it from multiple angles; Angle 1-who cares about a 10 mill dollar over paid point guard who blatantly dissed the rules, Angle 2- nobody could lend homey a blazer and Angle 3-he knew the dress code an s still said uck it, no matter how u call it on or off the court u better have ur uniform on.
In closing, real quick I was thinking just how good is J-Kidd, I saw he just dusted the Magic for 11-19-10 are u serious. That 19 boards……6-4’ son. Anyway I had to compare him to Magic just so see how close they are. Very interesting
