Thoughts on Sunday's NCAA Tournament Games.

1. Kansas v. 8 Kentucky. Kansas dominated. Didn't see any of it, and didn't want to, what with the thrashing that Southern Cal gave those Texas faggots.   2. Wisconsin v. 7 UNLV. UNLV brung the cool shit here. Awesome win, even better pick on my end. UNLV's got a GREAT chance to get to the Elite Eight, and a decent chance of getting to the Final Four. They can play.   1. Florida v. 9 Purdue. Nothing unexpected. Florida can turn it on at will.   (2) Memphis vs. (7) Nevada. I was off on this one. Memphis showed me a lot today, enough to make me consider picking them over A&M later in the week.   (3)Oregon vs. (11)Winthrop. On the two-way, it turned out to be the blowout scenario. Oregon just has problems adjusting early, but they won't have time to do that against the Vegas boys. Start like they did today, and they will get ran over.   (4)Texas vs. (5)USC.   Uh, yeah. Go the fuck back to Austin.   (4)Southern Illinois vs. (5)Va. Tech. Another perfect pick. The ACC and Big Ten were way overrated, and it shows. They put a combined 2 teams in the regionals. Ugh. For all the bitching about the SEC and Pac 10, they both lead the field with 3 teams each heading to the Sweet 16. LOL EASTCOAST BIAS SINCE 1869   (4)Virginia vs. (5) Tennessee. I don't think that either of these teams would have been able to beat Ohio State. The Vols stand a better chance with their athleticism, but it plays right into the hands of Ohio State. Not liking that matchup for the guys from Knoxville.   7 of 8. Beautiful. Tomorrow, I'll talk about Kobe's 65 and 50 point games over the weekend, plus whatever else happens. I'm going to focus on sports in the interim until my life gets a little more exciting, and I get a hang of updating this thing all the time. Then there will be more added to this.

Thoughts on Saturday's NCAA Tournament Games

I knew the lack of upsets would benefit the entertainment value of the tournament in the long run. And oh man, was I ever right.     (1) Buckeyes vs. (9) X. My predictions were sorta off today, but most of the losing teams did what I said they could. Xavier played exactly how I said they would play. I thought Oden should have received the intentional foul to end the game, but I AM kinda biased against Ohio State. Those Xavier kids should hold their heads up high, they left it all out on the court.   (3) Texas A&M vs. (6) Cardinals. Here's my prediction.   However, I really underestimated the early start time and the Louisville press. I think A&M has enough athletes to break it, so they win. CLOSE.   Haha, I win lolz. That Sosa kid choked away the game, but honestly...he was due to miss those freethrows. You shoot a low percentage for a reason, nobody should expect you to make 17 out of 17 from the line. You're going to miss eventually. Again, nothing to be ashamed of. A&M survived two big scares. That's good experience for the regional finals.   (2) FUCLA vs. (7) Indiana. Another good prediction, to the T. Indiana didn't have the talent that PITT possesses. They'll give those Bruins a game. Really boring game, sorta figured that it would be.   (3) Wazoo vs. (6) Vandy. I get Vanderbilt now, but Wazoo played like I thought they would on Friday.   (1) North Carolina vs. (9) Sparta. I had no chance to watch this game thanks to the UCLA game being on, and the fact that CBS only switched coverage once for like 5 seconds. Can't say.   (2) Hoyas vs. (7) BC. Same as above. Score looks exactly like I figured it would. Not enough athletes from BC.   (4) Terps vs. (5) Butler. The theory worked. YES!1!!!!1! Truth be told, I didn't like Maryland's seeding from step 1. They got hot before the tournament, but that doesn't make them a good team. The committee takes "getting hot before the tourney" way too much into consideration when seeding teams. Hell, USC shouldn't have got a 5 seed.   (3) SHIT Panthers vs. (11) VCU. I thought that this was the best game of the day. How often do you see 19 point comebacks against teams that play the style that Pitt does. Never. I'm glad the Rams aren't going to play UCLA, they would get pasted.     I did pretty good on the brackets. Same song and dance on teh blog for tomorrow, maybe a little more.

Predictions for Sunday's NCAA Tournament Games.

My fucking entry got deleted, so I'm in a bad fucking mood. Short, sweet and to the point. Fuck posting records at this point, because it's meaningless.   Chicago, Illinois. West, Midwest.   1. Kansas v. 8 Kentucky. Kentucky is just there. Kansas got the easy road to the Elite Eight. Comfortable win here, this will be the only 1 v 8 that I don't think will end at the wire.   2. Wisconsin v. 7 UNLV. Lovin' UNLV and they've got teh athletes. Goes against my, if shit in the first round they'll be good in the 2nd theory, but whatever. UNLV with some cool shit late.   New AWLINS, Louisiana. Midwest, South.   1. Florida v. 9 Purdue. This one's going to be close, because I think on paper, this is the one that looks like it could be a blowout. Arizona needs to purchase their players brains, that's a top 10 team athletically. Florida kinda late.   (2) Memphis vs. (7) Nevada. Man, I really think Nevada's athletes can keep up with Memphis. But Memphis has that turn-on capability, where they can run any team in the tourney out of the building and to the airport. I think Memphis doesn't have the experience with their big time players, so I'll take the Wolfpack.   Spokane, Washington. First game is from the Midwest Region, 2nd is from the East Region. Shitty tournament venue, by the way. Keep this shit in Seattle so I can go next time. Thx.   (3)Oregon vs. (11)Winthrop. Here's my "two-way pick". This is going to be an Oregon blowout, similar to the USC game last week, or it's going to be a close Oregon victory. This Duck team is really good guys. Really good. Pullin' the THEORY on this one. Double the gimmick, double the fun.   (4)Texas vs. (5)USC. There isn't a fucking chance of me picking against USC here. Nick Young is rockin' the MOHAWK~! those Horns need to be fucking hooked, and we fucking owe them. My fucking goodness, we owe those damn cocksuckers. I'm getting excited thinkin' about it. I want to blow these fucking bitches the fuck onto a fucking airplane headed back to fucking Austin. I'm fucking psyched.   Now that I'm heading to the games in Columbus, Ohio I can calm down. Talkin' about the Spokane shit gets me wired. West, South. Feel bad for the organizers at this site, there's no big draw.   (4)Southern Illinois vs. (5)Va. Tech. I think the Hokies proved how I felt about them at the beginning, with the way they played today. Man, I don't like them at all. Southern Illinois big.   (4)Virginia vs. (5) Tennessee. The Vols made firm believers out of me this afternoon. That Long Beach State shit was a beating. I said that the Hoos couldn't get to the Sweet 16 unless they played at home, so Tennessee in the only OT game of the day.     I did pretty good outside of the LBSU debacle. I'm probably going to update this blog often because I have a lot to say about sports that'll get me in trouble on the board. On Monday I'll talk about whatever's the big news that's buggin' me. I'll post some thoughts about each of the results from the weekend on the corresponding days. Comments are way appreciated, even if you disagree. It'll probably lead to some nice discussion.

Predictions for Saturday's NCAA Tournament Games.

These do not coincide with my brackets at all, these are mostly my gambling picks. I make my ballsy picks here, not in the brackets where I have the chance to brag.   Lexington, Kentucky. South Region.   (1) Buckeyes (30-3) vs. (9) X (25-8). I'm lovin' X here. Reasons for this are...   #1. They're playing close to home.   #2. Thad Matta is Xavier's former coach. His recruits will come out to play.   #3. One 8 will beat a 9. I like this matchup better than the other ones.   (3) Texas A&M (26-6) vs. (6) Cardinals (24-9). My analysis on the Stanford game is enough to not trust me on this one. However, I really underestimated the early start time and the Louisville press. I think A&M has enough athletes to break it, so they win. CLOSE.     Sactown, California. West and East.   (2) FUCLA (27-5) vs. (7) Indiana (21-10). This is an awesome matchup for those that like the low-scoring games. This one's going to be real close, if you ask me. I'll go with a UCLA padded victory after teh free throws, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it go the other way.   (3) Wazoo (26-7) vs. (6) Vandy(21-11). Don't get Vandy. Hate Wazoo. Wazoo will get to the Sweet 16, because I really don't get Vanderbilt's success. If someone could explain it to me, it would be helpful. Another close one.     Winston Salem, North Carolina. East Region.   Some prior analysis....     (1) North Carolina (28-6) vs. (9) Sparta (23-11). This game can go one of two ways. UNC blowout or Nazi boy shows up and gives North Carolina a scare. This game could prove my prior analysis right. I know it's not the smart pick, but I want to take Michigan St. here. But I can't, so UNC in a blowout where Neitzel does nothing.   (2) Hoyas (27-6) vs. (7) BC. (21-11). Georgetown is going to make BC pay for leaving the Big East. BC has the experience, but Georgetown needs to show WHY they're a sexy Final Four pick. Georgetown, not in a blowout, but by enough to keep everyone from sweating.   City of Losers, New York. Only Midwest matchup on the day and a Western matchup.   (4) Terps (24-8) vs. (5) Butler (27-6). I have this theory about teams that play real shitty and find their way into the 2nd round. They explode once they get there. Time for Butler to test it, I think they'll win.   3) SHIT Panthers (27-7) vs. (11) VCU (27-6). I'm having a real hard time not picking VCU here. Pitt let Wright State get back into the game before closing them out. Commonwealth has a lot more talent than Wright State. Best game of the day, another down to the wire game.     It almost makes me glad to see these matchups and no upsets, because these are some pretty fucking good matchups. I got 12 of 16 games today right on this blog, so I did a pretty good job. I'm picking with an unbalanced mixture of heart and head here.

Predictions for Friday's NCAA Tournament Games.

I said I would do this Monday. Then I said I would do this Tuesday.   It's neither of those days, but I'm going to do this right now.   From Chicago, Illinois. First set are in the West Region, 2nd set are in the Midwest Region.     (1) KU (30-4) vs. (16) Niagara (23-11). I have this feeling that Kansas is going to lose early, but with the matchups placed in their path, I can't really see a team that's going to be able to handle them. I haven't been sold on Va. Tech all season. This will be the closest of all the 1/16 games. Kansas by 10.   (8) Kentucky (21-11) vs. (9) Villanova (22-10). Matchup OF CATS LOLZ. Honestly don't know. I'll flip a coin. Tails says Nova, I'm not so sure about that one. Game will probably be an unexpected blowout. _______________________________________   (2) Badgers (29-5) vs. (15) Texas A&M C.C. (26-6). I'm not a fan of Wisconsin's style of play. It seems very susceptible to upsets, but not in this game. Probably in the 2nd round. Badgers by 14.   (7) UNLV (28-6) vs. (10) Georgia Tech (20-11). I'm lovin' UNLV as a possible surprise Elite Eight pick. They'll make themselves known in this game, with a big win. I sorta feel bad for the people that are going to be at the Chicago games, because I really don't see any of these games being close. Usually, when I don't think any of the games will be close, there's probably going to be a huge upset. IF it happens, it'll be the 1.16 game.     From The Crescent City, Louisiana. First two games are from the Midwest Region, 2nd set are from the South Region.     (2) Memphis (30-3) vs. (15) North Texas (23-10). How did North Texas get this seed, instead of the 16 that Niagara's occupying. Memphis to cover whatever the spread gets set at.   (7) Nevada (28-4) vs. (10) Creighton (22-10). Man, this is a hard one. Do I take Fazekas and the Nevada team that got buttfucked in seeding, or the hot MoVal team. I'll take Creighton, given last year's appearance of the automatic bid winner from the Valley. For those that don't know, it was Sweet 16 participant, Bradley. ______________________________________   (1) Gators (29-5) vs. (16) Jackson St. (21-13). HA.   (8) Arizona (20-10) vs. (9) Boilers (21-11). I wonder how good Arizona could be if they put it all together. If they get past Purdue, I'd give them a shot against Florida, which is really all you can ask for from any non 1 or 2 seed. They have the talent to beat Purdue and Florida, but not the mindset. I'll give them the win against Purdue, close.     Spokane, Washington. First two games are from the Midwest Region, 2nd set are from the East Region.     (3) Ducks (26-7) vs. (14) Miami (OH) (18-14). Oregon made a believer out of me on Saturday. First of many tournament wins for the Ducks.   (6) Irish (24-7) vs. (11) Winthrop (28-4). I have NO #6 seeds winning a game. No, seriously. Fuck Notre Dame, go Winthrop. ________________________________________   (4) Horns (24-9) vs. (13) New Mexico St. (25-8). NMSU has a ton of JuCo transfers, so they've got a decent chance. But they have no chance of stopping Durant and Augustin. So Texas, comfortably.   (5) Men of Troy (23-11) vs. (12) Fags (21-13). Arkansas sucks, so I'm glad that we drew them. I'd be worried if we would have wound up playing an ODU or Creighton type with a different seed. Game will be close, USC doesn't blow people out.     Columbus, Ohio. First set from the West Region, 2nd set are from the Dirty South.     (4) Saluks (27-6) vs. (13) Holy Cross (25-8). HOLY OVERRATED. Whose dick did SIU's AD suck to get this seed. I want to pick Holy Cross right here, but I don't think they're good enough. If Bucknell would have got the auto bid and this seed, I'd take them over the Saluks. The winner of this game's losing to Illinois anyway. WHOOPS I REVEALED MY NEXT PICK   (5) Hokies (21-11) vs. (12) Chiefs (23-11). Easiest upset pick ever. I don't even think it's an upset pick, as the only reason the Hokies got this seed is because they beat North Carolina. Big fucking deal, we did it last year. I think the Tarheels and that whole fucking conference are overrated, so sue me. Illini by a fucking 10 spot. ________________________________________   (4) Hoos (20-10) vs. (13) Albany (23-9). Winner loses in the next round. Who cares. Virginia could only get to the Sweet 16 if they could play on their home court. Which they can't, so they'll go out. I think Virginia's the only ACC team that deserved their seed, so they get that much. They'll win a close one.   (5) Vols (22-10) vs. (12) Pyramids (24-7). I saw this pairing and nearly jizzed in my shorts. As a Big West fan, I PROMISE Long Beach State deserved this seed. All those Pac 10 academic rejects are going to throttle the Vols.       Saturday games will be predicted tomorrow night, because otherwise it won't get done. The local network gets all the West Coast is the Best Coast games. That's good, because those are the ones I want to watch, and find the most interesting.

Predictions for Thursday's NCAA Tournament Games

This tournament is a crapshoot, so why not post my bullshit predictions? I'll separate them by the sites of the games.   Lexington, Kentucky. Games are from the South bracket.   (1) Buckeyes (29-3) vs. (16) Central Conn. St. (22-11). Ohio State's going to win this game by 50 points. That's the great analysis that you could only find on this blog.   (8) Mormons (25-8) vs. (9) X (24-8). This is a tossup. I'll take Xavier. They've got something to prove, and they're playing much closer to home than Brigham Young. Plus, BYU has an Ainge on their team. For that, they can go to hell. Xavier by 6.   (6) Cardinals (23-9) vs. (11) Cardinal (18-12). I'm going to pick a lot of the #11 seeds. This pick is based on my knowledge of Stanford, having watched them a gajillion times. Brook Lopez is a force on the inside. Stanford by 10.   (3) Texas A&M (25-6) vs. (14) Pennsylvania (22-8). A&M's a Final Four pick of mine. They'll get a 20 point win.   Sacramento, California. If SC would have been playing in Cowtown, I'd use my FFM's to get up there. The first two games are from the West bracket, and the 2nd set are from the East Bracket.   (2) F UCLA (26-5) vs. (15) Weber St. (20-11). Weber State has a shooter's chance. That's all they've got, because with their lack of athleticism they'll need to rain 3's on UCLA to keep it close. I really don't see that happening, so UCLA by a comfortable 25.   (7) Indiana (20-10) vs. (10) Zags (23-10). If Gonzaga had Heytvelt, I'd pick 'em. They don't, so they lose an edge in what will likely be a typical Sampson, slow, boring ass game. Indiana by Fo. ______________________________________   (3) Wazoo (25-7) vs. (14) Oral Roberts (23-10). Wazoo is starting to fall back to earth. Oral Roberts is the earth that Wazoo will hit. No analysis, just an Oral Roberts upset after a late comeback.   (6) Vandy(20-11) vs. (11) G-Dub (23-8). I just don't think that Vandy's that good. Sue me. GW by 7.   Winston-Salem, North Carolina. All 4 matchups from the East bracket.   (1) North Carolina (27-6) vs. (16) Eastern Kentucky (21-11). I don't think UNC should have received a #1 seed. They won't do anything to prove me right in this matchup.   (2) Hoyas (26-6) vs. 15) Belmont (23-9). This will be the biggest beating of any non-#1 seed game taking place in the entire tournament. I like Georgetown to go all the way, but that's not what this blog is for. It's for picking the matchups that are set.   (7) BC. (20-11) vs. (10) Knight U. (21-12). I haven't been feelin' the BC love all year. That said, I don't like Texas Tech very much either. SO, this will probably be a great game. BC in OT.   (8) Marquette (24-9) vs. (9) Sparta (22-11). The 2nd best 1st round matchup. I've got a feeling that one of these teams is going to get blown out, and I don't see Michigan St. having that ability. Marquette by a nice +15.   Buffalo, New York. First two games are from the West bracket, 2nd set is from the East bracket.   (3) SHIT Panthers (27-7) vs. (14) Wright St. (23-9). This game is going to be much, MUCH closer than anyone thinks. Pitt survives in the same fashion that Florida did when they had Mike Miller.   (6) Dook (22-10) vs. (11) VCU (27-6). This is going to be the biggest shitkicking of Dook I've ever seen. VCU by 15. Duke's white guys are going to get ran out of the building. ___________________________________________   (4) Terps (24-8) vs. (13) Davidson (29-4). This is going to become a trendy upset pick by the networks over the period leading up to the tournament. I really don't see it. Maryland by 13.   (5) Butler (27-6) vs. (12) Old Dominion (24-8). I hate how the committee matched these two teams together. I thought that they both had Sweet 16 potential. OT game here, I'll take Butler.     Tomorrow I'll hit up the Friday games. Comments, complaints and anything else you can think of are welcome.

My Thanksgiving Story.

I was taking turkey orders yesterday, and someone (obviously) wanted a turkey. They paid for the turkey and everything else before I told them what else came with it. The person told me that they needed to ask me a question. I told them to go ahead. They asked me if you could reheat the turkey in a microwave. These Mohammedans asked me if there was pork in THE TURKEY STUFFING AND IF THERE WAS SWEET POTATO IN THE YAMS. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.   Happy Turkey shit.

I need to look for work....AGAIN.

I don't have a problem with my job, but I've gotta find a different place to work. The managers ride me so hard that I feel like Secretariat. Embarass me in front of customers, the whole nine yards.   I applied to work at a new store, and I was hired with the belief that I would be working there when it opened. I went up to the front to ask when the new store would be opened, and if I was going to be going to work there, as my co-workers had told me that I may not be going. I was ignored....blown off, like I wasn't allowed to ask. I didn't think I was being rude, or asking anything that I shouldn't be asking. Apparently, I was. I don't ask for a whole lot at work. I don't care about my pay, and I don't care about the hours that I have to work, or how hard (or easy) my work is. I try to get in, collect my paycheck and do my shit, and get out. The only thing that I want is a modicum of respect, or at least a slight inclination that my superiors care about my work. I've never complained once, about anything that they've asked me to do.   They don't fucking care, so why should I? I don't have to be treated like shit, because I don't have bills to pay and wouldn't be in financial trouble if I quit. SO, I filled out some applications today. It felt pretty fucking good, looking for a different place to work. The only thing that I'm afraid of, is that it's going to be the same way everywhere I go. The sad thing is, I know it's always going to be this way, and yet I get my hopes up over nothing. I really don't know what to do. I can't go back to sitting here all day doing nothing, I'd go fucking nuts.   I'm just really confused. The only thing that I'm sure of is that I won't be working at my store for very much longer. I don't need to be treated like shit. After that, everything's in the air.

I'm so uncontent.

I need to find work. I need a job where I come in contact with a lot of people, because the lack of contact that I've had with people over the last few months due to not having work or class is driving me crazy. I'm probably going to work at the grocery store or some shit so that I can save enough money for this ghetto JuCo up the street. It's not like I have to pay a car payment or an insurance payment, because I gave my older, already paid for car to my brother so that I wouldn't have to pay the insurance. I don't pay rent either, only for my food out of money that I earn doing odd jobs.   I'm broke as fuck, and not really liking my situation right now. It's not like I'm some fat slob that's just sitting here on the computer all day doing nothing, I'm a healthy guy that has been doing stuff every day in order to curve my boredom. That stuff costs, and I'm out of a way to pay for it. It's not like there's something wrong with me that's keeping me from getting a job, but for some reason, I don't have one. I've looked for work constantly. I'm pretty fortunate to be where I am right now, with people that care about me, but I need to find something for myself. I feel kinda empty. If this sounds like some angsty rant, well, it probably is, because I'm tired and pissed off at myself right now. After all, that's what blogs are for, pissing and moaning.

Trade Deadline Madness.

A lot of things that happen this time of year confuse the fuck out of me, but some things stay the same.   Why trade for Wilson Betemit when you are going to trade for Julio Lugo, despite only having one place to play them?   Why trade one of the best players in baseball for a few nothing prospects?   Atlanta wants to trade Andruw Jones. WHY?   Now, for things that stay the same.   Jim Bowden fucked up again.   The Orioles do not know what they fuck they are doing.   Ditto the Pirates.   The Mets get a Latino player.   The Yankees get what they want without giving anything for it. This simply amazes me. Much respect to Steinbrenner.   Stoneman lived up to his name.   The A's did not trade a pitcher, and the Giants didn't sell one of their veterans.   Kenny Williams does a lot of posturing.   The Cubs fuck up.   There are tons of SAWX rumors, and nothing happens.   I guess the point of this list was to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. In some cases it's sad, but in others it just serves to let us know which teams are going to be contenders. This is baseball, and this is why we watch.   Winners: Yankees, Reds, Rangers and Dodgers   Losers: Nationals (they fucked up), Phillies, Orioles and Pirates   The winners are the teams that I think may have been pushed over the brink and into the playoffs as a result of their acquisitions, and the losers were the teams that simply did not know what to do with what they had. Jim Bowden is the biggest idiot of all.

So, if Shaq gets another ring, and Dodger stuff

Forewarning, this is long. First Lakers, then Dodgers, then USC.   Does the Laker fanbase here support it? I know a ton of people that loved this guy when he was here and hate his guts now. Personally, I think that's a load of shit on their behalf, because nothing changed about Shaq. He's the same guy he always was, everyone just got pissed off because the Lakers were now one of the teams he made fun of. Boo fucking hoo. If they can't handle someone having playful fun or throwing barbs at/with their team, they shouldn't be watching sports in the first place. I'm sick of these uptight assholes in the real world that I have to deal with when I talk about the playoffs on a daily basis. I feel a little better about saying that.   Anyway, to the important LA team at this stage, the Dodgers (fuck that LA Angels hippie shit). This team is a serious contender. I had no idea that their lineup was going to be like this, and I didn't think that the prospects would be able to step in and contribute if guys went down. They need a pitcher, which they can get with the talent that they have in the system. If they get a pitcher, I'm beginning to think that this is a serious NL contender. If they get in the playoffs, they're very dangerous. I trust Derek Lowe to pitch great out there. Gagne comes back to form, they're going to be really hard to beat. I love what I've seen so far.   I talked to one of my buddies that plays football at USC the other day. Turns out he broke their squat record, which considering the talent that's been through there is EXTREMELY impressive, and that he thinks that Mark (for some reason, maybe because it's late, I feel like calling him Matt. Maybe that's his name, I'm too tired.) Sanchez could be better than Matt Leinart. The rest of what he said I'll leave for an entry closer to the season, but I have some input of my own from what I've seen of Sanchez. I'm going to say that he will be better than Matt Leinart. How can I possibly know this? I've seen this guy in person 3 times, and my school played against this guy's (almost all white guys) in a passing league. If anyone but Leinart was the starter at SC, he would have played last year. This guy has "it", that star quality that you see every once in a while. I'm no scout, but this guy is a prototypical QB. He can throw from the pocket, on the run, and he's really mobile. He makes perfect reads (My friends in the passing league were fucking shocked at some of the throws he was able to make at that age) and spreads the ball around. This guy is a winner.   I'll have some scoop on UCLA and Oregon before the season too, because I know one player from each school. One of their families happens to live three doors down. How exciting!

So, when is the media going to let it go?

Of course, by it, I mean the Lakers-Suns series.   First of all, why is ESPN reporting this, "One story circulating among the Suns is that Bryant strongly encouraged teammates not to linger on the floor after the final buzzer for post-series handshakes"? Kobe can't "force" anyone to do anything. Unless you believe that woman from Eagle, CO, in which case you can freely believe she's correct. Not my problem.   Secondly, why the fuck are the Suns still thinking about this? Focus on your next series, don't worry about the Lakers anymore. They're going to get smoked tonight if they're still thinking about #8..er..#24.   I expect them to demolish the Clippers, thanks for asking.   Lakers offseason. Oh man, Mitch Kupchak is going to fuck this up. He always does. Let's spend our Full MLE on Vlade Divac. OOPS, we'll buy him out at the tune of 2 million. Let's try Aaron Mckie. OOPS. Those two didn't even play a full 6 games combined. Oh well, that's Mitchell.   Wants, I'm going to be very realistic and stick within possibilities.   Melvin Ely Al Harrington (Sign and trade. More feasible than it sounds, very need based from ATL's perspective. They know they aren't keeping him. If the Lakers do this, the 07-08 plan goes right into the shitter. That's what I want, I'm sick of fucking plans. First with my hockey team, now this? Fuck that shit.) Marcus Banks Reggie Evans (I'm serious.) Brevin Knight   Do not wants.   Carlos Boozer Bobby Jackson. (Would almost be worth it just to keep him from killing LA again.) Sam Cassell (Iffy on this one.)     Pipedreams Iverson. I don't know why, I just love this guy's passion for the game. I'd rather they didn't trade for Garnett unless they get presented with something that doesn't involve Bynum. It won't happen.

They should kill me and piss on my grave.

That game was a fucking gutwrencher.   I DID NOT WANT THIS SERIES TO GO TO A GAME 7.   Sure, I predicted the Lakers to win in 7, but there's no way in fuck that I wanted that to be the situation that the Lakers were faced with. Game 7 is going to have humongous ratings, and the league will be pissing their pants when they get the Nielsen number.   I hate Smush Parker, and he can sit right on the end of that bench with that little queer smile and fucking line that runs down the middle of his head. I wish he would dye it yellow.   Rant over, because I don't want to get myself angrier.

Lakers win a thriller, and I am shocked.

I'm partly doing this to move discussion here, hopefully.   The Lakers win, Nash choked and has an injured back. The Lakers had no business being in that ballgame. They got very lucky that Nash positioned himself on the baseline twice.   Hopefully, I'll get some comments to talk about the game, if not, oh well.   I'm just ecstatic that the Lakers will play the Clippers in the 2nd round, and once again the focus of the basketball world will turn to Los Angeles.

The Stanley Cup champions reside in San Jose.

I have never seen a team as complete as the Sharks. They are unreal. The only true threat to them is the Stars, but they have questions in net. I am convinced that the Sharks will put California hockey on the map, at which point I will kill myself.   On another note, Luc Robitaille's final game is tonight. He is a legend in every sense of the word. Ranks 10th all-time in goalscoring, ranks 1st among LW's in goalscoring, and is 1st in LA Kings goalscoring. I'll miss hearing the Staples Center chant Luuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccc every time he touches the puck. Most underrated player of all time? I think so. Can't wait for his number to be retired, which will undoubtedly be against Montreal next season.   He will be missed.

Dodgers v. Phillies 4.07.06

Baez.   I guess he's the Dodger closer for right now, and with the way he pitched tonight, it's not something the Dodgers need to worry about. Hong-Chih Kuo could be a good setup guy, because he has pretty good control. The Dodger starting pitching will be the downfall of this team, and Tomko isn't very good. At all.   The injury situation for LA is not good right now. Kent has an elbow problem that he's playing through, Furcal has a messed up shin, and Nomar is Nomar. If Drew stays healthy (yeah right), the Dodgers can be a dangerous team.   I have no doubt that they'll win the division, but at this point they don't look like a team that can win a round in the playoffs. It's still early, so there's plenty to see from this team. Including injuries.   The Phillies don't look like a very good team. They don't have the pitching, and for whatever reason, their hitting isn't there either. I don't see any reason to worry about the hitting, because it'll come around, but the pitching situation is bleak. If Philly doesn't turn it around quick, Manuel's going to be the fall guy. Looks like it may be another long season in Philadelphia, and I know exactly how it feels.   I won't post on Lakers/Suns tonight, mainly because I have no desire to see LA get beat up by a clearly superior team. 30 point win for Phoenix tonight.

Going in a new direction.

So, I guess this thing is going to become my Dodger/Kings/Lakers rant blog. I've got a lot to say after every game, and I guess this is going to be my platform to say it. After the Dodger game tonight, I'll update again.

Not a good sports weekend.

I'll state that this weekend in sports sucked and it was probably the slowest all year. I'll put something in here about Pat Riley, Ron Artest and a small something on Reggie Bush.     That bolded quote is definitely a major ouch. Jermaine went to bat for Ron in the brawl last season, ao that's definitely a strong statement coming from JO.   Seeing as Ron doesn't want to go out West, I think it's going to be very difficult for the Pacers to find a place to accomodate him. I'm looking at New Jersey and Cleveland to try to acquire him for this season, and I think he'll probably wind up in New York after becoming a free agent. Personally, I don't think he's going to be dealt.   Pat Riley's the new head coach of the Miami Heat, and I'm curious to see what he's going to be able to do with this ballclub. I think that they're going to have a hard time adjusting to his style of play, and we are going to see more balls going inside to Shaq and less explosiveness on the run from Dwyane Wade. I don't really know if Wade is going to be the same type of player.   Reggie Bush won the Heisman in a surprising landslide as apparently the last 2 games of the season made big marks in the minds of the Heisman voters. I think that if a notoriously bad organization gets that #1 pick, he'll be staying in school.   The San Diego Chargers are near dead in the AFC and Pittsburgh now has life.   As usual, comments and disagreements are wanted and appreciated.

Heisman Stuff

Well, we now know who the Heisman finalists are, and is there any surprise? I think that there should have been more guys invited than there were, namely Brady Quinn and Drew Olson, but the voters did pick the correct 3 players.   I think that the Heisman winner should be Reggie Bush, but the fact that Vince Young had one of the best seasons in recent memory should not be forgotten. If Vince had performed like this last year, he would have been the guy going for his second Heisman, and not Matt Leinart. Also, it's nice to see that the 3 Heisman finalists will all be in the National Title game.   Some other stuff:   The Lakers played well tonight, I hope to see the development of Lamar Odom in the triangle progress.   The Kings beat the Leafs last night, which ended their 4 game downer. They play Carolina tomorrow.   The Dodgers are looking to acquire Alfonso Soriano, which isn't a move that I'm too sold on. I don't like his defensive play and his "all-or-nothing" swing won't really work in Los Angeles.   Comments are wanted and appreciated.

12/5/05

When I can't think of a good title I'll just use the date, but I think right now it's the right time to talk about the Dodgers signing Rafael Furcal and one of the important games in the NFL that took place on Sunday.   So, the Dodgers signed Rafael Furcal to a 3 year 40 million dollar contract. This makes them a contender in a poor NL West and I think that if JD Drew can magically find a way to avoid the injury bug, we could be looking at a 90 win team. Furcal creates run opportunities for the team and that's something that the Dodgers haven't had since they traded Dave Roberts. I'm looking forward to see what he can do in L.A..   Was anyone else shocked that the Bengals actually went into Heinz Field and beat the Steelers? I think Carson Palmer is one of the better quarterbacks in the league and that by the end of his career, he could have a few rings on his fingers. Chad Johnson disappointed, but I don't know if that was due to his ankle being injured during the game or not.   Ben Roethlisberger is a gamer, enough said.   As usual, comments are wanted and appreciated.

The Beginning

This is definitely going to be interesting as here I'm going to post my thoughts on happenings throughout the sports world. This thing will be used for my rants and hopefully some of you will enjoy it.   So here's the first thing I'm going to discuss, bowl scheduling.     Ok, so did the bowl representatives royally fuck this one up? There aren't any remotely interesting matchups until the 27th of November, and that day is only relevant so that we can hopefully see Tommy Bowden run the score up on everyone's favorite coach, Gary Barnett. I'm really not interested in many of these games that pit a mid major against a large conference team. So many of these games seem to be obvious wins, but in bowl games suspensions and injuries during practice happen and the winner is dictated on the field.   The BCS sucks and I'm ready for it to be gone. How much longer do we have to wait until a bad Florida State team doesn't make it into the BCS?   I'll evaluate all of these bowl matchups the day before the games are to occur.   Comments are appreciated.
