~How about that lucky minor league baseball player who found out that his property had an estimated 2 billion dollars work of rock which can be used for sidewalks, patios, etc. Matt White, a 29 year old lefty, who has a career 16.72 era in the big leagues is now set for life, despite bouncing around the minors for the past 9 years. And this is all because his aunt needed money for her nursing home and he was kind in off to take 50 acres of what could have been perceived as useless Western Massachusetts land. Far from useless obviously. While he can't just sell off the land for 2 billion straight he certainly will several millions. Lucky Bastard.
~Forbes came out with a moronic assessment of who the best GM in all of pro sports is and somehow they came up with Kevin McHale. Are you serious? He's the best GM in all the land because he drafted Kevin Garnett his team is constantly middle of the pack, and the GM prior sucked endlessly. Ya that makes sense. And Billy King #3 super. Shouldn't titles be the key component on who good of a GM you are? I understand integrating the payroll factor, but championships are what matters and the fact that Kevin McHale has wasted Kevin Garnett's talent and was unable to get him a front line scorer completely disqualifies this evaluation.
~Although I did enjoy the fact that Danny Ainge came in at #92 of a possible 98. But Scott Pioli at 20, come on.
~Steve Nash after the game against the Lakers told Michelle Tafoya that the reason he was struggling with his shot in the first half was because he had a bad case of diarrhea and was a bit skittish. Than he followed that up with saying, I probably shouldn't have said that, it's most likely brunch time in Hawaii. Steve Nash is sweet.
~Dwyane Wade decided to wait until after the season to have surgery. Sure that means that means his season isn't completely over. But it doesn't tell us if / when he will come back. So this isn't really news.
~Arod continues to explode into verbal diarrhea. Why must you open your mouth? And you wonder why people in NYC get annoyed with you when you suck in the clutch, and you practically praise Sweet Lou as manager god. Stop answering questions, I'd rather you be more like Manny.
~Sammy Sosa hit a homer. Hmm.... HGH? What were his shoes sizes from 1992 to 2002?
~The franchise tag has to be the most annoying thing in all of pro sports. Sure you get paid a massive number for a single season, but what if you get hurt you get nothing. Asanta Samuel, Lance Briggs and others would have receive massive longterm deals had they not been franchised. Just shows how weak the NFLPA is.
~I like the signing of Ahman Green for the Texans a lot. He had a pretty good season last year and their team has never had a solid running back. It isn't the Ahman Green of 03 but it's certainly a massive upgrade over Ron Dayne.
~Adalius Thomas to the Patriots is not fair and not cool. Boo to the Patriots hiring one of the best free agents.
~I saw a rumor on SI that the Jets were going to trade Vilma to the Redskins, if that ever happened I would flip out. He's the best player on the team. And the Redskins have nothing of value on their roster. And him being bad in the 3-4 is completely overblown. Sure he wasn't dominant last season, but he progressed. The rumor did come from the Washington Post and not anywhere in NYC so my guess is it is meaningless, but still annoying.
~Jake Plummer is such a clown. No way he really wants to retire, although I don't get why the Bucs traded for him in the first place if they were just going to sign Garcia a few days later.
~Beckham got hurt and is out 6 weeks, MLS stock goes down.
~As I have said numerous occasions I don't care about racing, but I did find yesterday's results of the Busch Series in Mexico when one teammate spun the other out on the last lap to be humurous.
~And the Madness begins, March is so much better than February.
~The Yanks or 5-0 in the preseason. Pimps. They just hit a walk off homer off Felix "The Cat" Heredia.
