It's Finally Over...
- As entertaining the NBA season actually has been this year. I am happy the regular season is over. Not only is it the most meaningless regular season out there (when the Spurs as well as other teams can take the first couple months off and still land in the playoffs, the regular season is for the most part meaningless), but the Bulls had the most disastrous season they could imagine. Now we can actually watch real basketball while watching highly paid athletes actually care about playing in the games.
- Other NBA items that are "over" - Isaiah and the Knicks (you know everyone outside of Knicks fans really will miss him - it was just too easy) - Seattle basketball (I think it's nice to see that local government in Washington is now getting "tough", but where was this months ago? That's right-election time is coming!)
The Other Playoffs...
- I know most people aren't watching the NHL playoffs, but if you aren't, you're missing out. While the first round or two of the NBA playoffs tend to be tedious and boring the NHL playoffs are intense from the get-go. Generally it seems that the teams are much closer in ability level which is why you see a lot of lower seeds pushing the top seeds (see DET-NSH series). It happens every year where the top teams are taken out by lower teams. How about that for parity NFL?
- As I say that the Pens sweep the Sens. Could this be the stage that Sid the Kid elevates himself to Legend status? Could be.
365 Day a year League...
- It simply amazes me that the NFL can stay relevant all year round. Between the regular season, playoffs, free agency, combine, draft, OTAs, training camp then back to the regular season they keep you interested. Now they make a production out of releasing the schedule? You know you have a golden goose when you can make a schedule release an event.
- Chad Johnson is an idiot.
Is it June Yet?.....
- I love baseball as much as the next guy, but it seems harder and harder for me to pay much attention to MLB until late May or early June. I'm not sure if it's because of the NBA and NHL playoffs, but it just isn't keeping me interested.
- Yanks and Sox again - I see how this year is going to go between these teams. They're going to go .500 against each other and one of them will miss the playoffs. What wouldn't surprise me is that the AL East gets the wild card but either the Yanks or Sox are sitting at home in October.
Everything Else....
- Kevin Love is going to the NBA - now there's a shocker!
- Memphis pulls another top recruit - now there's a shocker!
- Okie State gets its coach, no it's not Self, but a solid hire none the less. Ford is a great coach and recruiter - look at what he did in the A10. Plus, there will be less pressure and scrutiny then having a guy like Self. Don't be surprised if OK St. is back to one of the powers in the Big 12 within a couple years.
- Didn't watch much of the debate last night, but from I did watch I can this: Why waste everyone's time by asking the same questions about non-issues? Does lying about sniper fire really matter when we are talking about the economy? Does comments made by a pastor really matter when the situation in Iraq needs to be addressed? Welcome to the TMZ nation - where real issues aren't as sexy as the scandalous types. That my friends is depressing. But hey, at least we know that Brittany Spears was in a minor fender bender the other day that will help gas prices I'm sure.
See you later today.....
