Kevin Garnett Offers a Lesson to Be Learned


Last year when Kevin Garnett was traded to the Celtics I was annoyed for several reasons. One of the major reasons was that I was pissed off that only months prior he basically came out and said he was not interested in playing for the Celtics. And well, why would he have? The Celtics were bad, in order to get him they would have had to give up Jefferson and that would have left him with Pierce and scrubs. Of course he was holding out for better, and then when the Celtics landed Ray Allen and all of a sudden the Celtics were the best option. So he went a long with it. And what did he deliver? A championship. So every Celtic fan by now is completely over the fact that a little over a calendar year from now Garnett had absolutely no desire to play in Boston.

These past few days I've heard some Jets fans, namely Evan Roberts on WFAN, say that he didn't want Brett because Brett didn't want New York. That Brett rejected us once and never really wanted to come here. Let Garnett be a lesson for any negative Jet fans. Sure Brett Favre didn't want to play with the Jets weeks ago. And well why would he? If you were Brett Favre wouldn't you want to play for the Packers, he did lead them into the NFC Championship game last year. And if not the Packers why wouldn't he want to play for the Vikings? He could A) Stick it to the Packers and B) Would get to beat up on the same shitty NFC North teams he always has. When those options were obviously gone, he was left with only a few. And whether it was his first choice or not Brett Favre wants to play football and he wants to play football for the New York Jets.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
