Wrong Kobe but Right Coby

ESPN is by far my favorite sports website. I do check out SI, Sportsline and a few others, but usually ESPN hits the spot. Today there was a hidden gem of an article providing unintentional comedic quotes throughout.

The article is about Coby Karl, son of Nuggets basketball coach George Karl, and how he is testing out the NBA draft waters which included a workout for his fathers Nuggets. The story is a solid heartwarmer with Coby recently going through cancer treatment and attempting to take advantage of his possible opportunities to enter the world of professional basketball. And of course its always a story when a celebrated coach's son is on his way to his fathers world. But what made this article stand out as not just a heartwarmer were the overly humurous statements made by son and by father.

"He knows me probably better than anyone so that would be an advantage, but that's in a dream world." Coby

I love the bluntly obvious statements. But throwing in the probably makes it classic. Who is his direct competition, maybe Rick Adelman? Larry Brown. I would certainly hope it isn't Doc Rivers.

"He's a great dad as it is," Coby Karl added. "But as a basketball coach, he's even better."

So this means he's certainly not a championship level father. Are we going with the whole career, or are we just taking the high moments with the Sonics, was he a better father than a basketball coach when he was with the Bucks? I certainly hope so.

After weighing in at 205 a few weeks prior, "I'm at 211, but my body fat's where it was before," Coby Karl said. "So, I think I got stronger through the process mentally and physically."

Yes, Coby you most certainly added 6 pounds to your brain. Pure muscle baby, pure muscle.

"Today was a proud moment for me," George Karl said, "I know it isn't big time but it is big time..."

Um ok George. Did you have two little George's battling to a bloddy draw on your shoulder on whether or not it was in fact big time.

I enjoyed it here's the article: Coby Karl works out for Nuggets and his father.

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

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
