Knee to el Groin and More

I completely despise the Spurs, I think they are atrociously boring to watch and I want them to lose very much, however the Suns recent whining about the physicality of the series and these over emphasis on foul calls, are beginning to annoy me.

When I first heard about this whole knee to the groin by Bowen on the radio yesterday, I thought well that certainly sounds like it deserves a suspension. And after finally seeing the video my thoughts are, "That's It?". That was the vicious knee to the groin, come on it was weaker than any typical jimmy tap. My guess is Nash did some acting there, because as bad as it hurts to get smacked in the nuts, he wasn't exactly coming at full velocity.



As for the foul last night by Robert Horry, come on that isn't deserving of a suspension either. A forearm shiver, come on Steve Kerr. How wimpy are you, he got knocked down. It was basically a football block that happens on every single play. It's not like he threw a punch at the guys face. If anything was a forearm shiver it was when Horry tried to throw a bow at Raja Bell's face. That one had intent. And why does Nash have to play it like he got completely knocked out. Get up you big friggin baby, are you a grown man? That could not have hurt that badly.



The moral of this story as that, the more the Suns bitch and moan about these fouls, and qact like a soccer player when they get fouled by rolling around like they've just been shot, the less I can root for them. And if I can't root for the Suns I really can't root for anybody in this miserable NBA postseason, and it will effectively be dead to me. One way or another I'm much more looking forward to next weeks Draft Lottery than any playoff series post Suns Spurs.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
