Why Tom Watson Proves The Suns Blew It With Steve Nash! Absolute Proof!

I hate golf.  But, despite that I’m starting this post out with a golf reference to make a point that needs to be made.
Tom Watson at 92 or 59, whatever age he truly is, got real close to winning the British Open or some other completely over hyped golf tournament this past weekend.  Even I, [...]

Grant Hill Loses His Damn Mind!

Grant Hill has always seemed a class act to me.  While injuries stopped him from fulfilling his promise as one of the first “next Jordan’s”, Hill has to be admired for the way he’s battled back.
He actually played a ton of games last year for Phoenix and was an effective member of the Suns’ squad.  [...]

Don’t Kidd Yourself Or Nash Your Teeth! These Guys Aren’t Worth The Money!

For the life of me I don’t understand why NBA teams are so interested in Jason Kidd and Steve Nash.  It’s 2009.   If it was 1999 or even 2004, I would get it.
Kidd is a free agent and Nash is one year away from free agency (I think) and still the piece around which Phoenix intends [...]

Here’s Why The Baseball Draft Sucks!

The lowly Washington Nationals took Stephen Strasburg as the number one pick in baseball’s draft today.  The guy is clearly a phenom.  He was the best pitcher by far in college this year.   The San Diego State star had a 13-1 record, with an ERA just over one.  And did I mention he struck out [...]

How Many Push Ups Can An NBA Legend Do?

I wondered too and then I watched this Charles Barkley video:

Let’s just say I’m not smelling comeback…

So That’s What He Meant By A “Wow Hire”!

First Memphis loses John Calipari to Kentucky and now this!  In the aftermath of Calipari’s defection, Memphis AD R. C. Johnson vowed to make a “wow hire” to replace him.
When I hear the words “wow hire” applied to college basketball, I start thinking bringing old legends back (IE-Bob Knight) or stealing a rising coach from another [...]

Dan Rooney Could Be This Blog’s Man Of The Year! Plus Nonsense About A Rod & Twitter!

President Obama today named Steelers’ owner Dan Rooney as the US Ambassador to Ireland.  Fitting that it was on St. Patrick’s Day.
Congrats to Dan Rooney who epitomizes what this blog stands for.  Passion for sports and politics.
I’m not sure where he stands on nonsense.  But, we like that too.  So here’s some more of that:
A-Rod [...]

Carmelo Anthony Get A Suspension Worthy Of A Franchise Player!

OK, so maybe it’s the fact that he delivered a championship to my beloved Syracuse Orangemen, but I’m having a hard time getting worked up over Carmelo Anthony’s latest suspension.
Word is that Anthony got suspended for disregarding his coach.  That’s never a good thing.  But if you are going to ignore George Karl, then I [...]

Are Eight Points Worth The End Of A Dynasty?

Stephon Marbury scored eight points last night off the bench in his first game for the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics.  In 13 minutes, Marbury rang up 8 points that included six points during a 9-0.  Sounds good and Marbury said all the right things about just wanting to win after the game.
Then, you find out [...]

Another Amazing Week In Sports, Politics & Nonsense!

What an utterly amazing week to be alive to blog!  Unfortunately, other obligations AKA my paying job, got in the way of being able to write too much.  I realize that given these uncertain times I should feel lucky to have a good job.  And I do.
I also feel lucky to have this blog and [...]
