A Case For

Image
Stanford ...as they beat UCLA in the crazy Pac 12 Champ Game...as these things go, the 2 best teams in the conference were in the North ...obviously the Ducks and the Cardinal ...too bad...it was a good game in miserable weather...and as all Stanford games seem to end up...it came down to their ace FG kicker...and they won...so, on dasher to the Rose Bowl ...I'm OK with it... If there were an 8 team playoff for the BSBCS Crown, both the Cards and Ducks would be in it... Did you see where the USC D coach resigned?... Coach Lane's daddy ...got off that sinking ship...and the rumor is that the Trojans are going to some bogus bowl to play the Triple Optioned Georgia Tech Bees, a team that sports like a 6-7 record...ha ha...I think the daddy wanted no part of trying to stop that multi-talented offensive scheme... PNW Blazers just may be the worst in the land...they play no defense...and as crazy as this may sound, the NBA blokes do play D...just not in the PNW...get used to ...

I'll Do What I Want

Gregg Popovich ... Pomona Sagehen grad...has endured a legacy in the NBA world as a great coach...hard thing to do, seeings he doesn't have the champ hardware that Phil Jackson owns... and is old school ...in a world that the inmates run the asylum... HE is the boss...and San Antonio buys it...enough of the preface...you get my drift... WELL ...he decided  to rest 4 of his starters last night in their match against the Heat ...in Miami!...what?...in fact, the players didn't even make the flight to the game...the league is reacting big time...they are upset...the game?... the Spurs almost pulled it off...as the Heat played like zombies and it was a farce...until the last couple of minutes...when LeBron turned the game into a W ...and I watched it...so think about it...they decided to give a game, and rest up their stars for games that they could or should win...what say you?...by the way, one of the blokes who did the TV announcing was the one and only Chas Barkley ...peopl...

The team that has the most upside (love that term), in the NBA, is the LA Clippers ...sure, I think you know that I'm biased...cuz of where I live...but it's true...trust Crazy Horze ... Chauncey Billups emerged after a busted achilles...10 months ago...and he is the glue that binds this whole group...watch them grow... Woe be to the PNW Blazers ...they play NO DEFENSE! ...and give up a win to the Wizards ...what?...the Wiz's first win...what on earth?...I'm telling you, LA is more of a deficit than a plus, until he figures out that he has to step it up and work the working end of the floor...as they fall to the bottom of the west... LiLo doesn't get it...gets in a brawl in NYC...maybe she should go into hiatus for about 6 months...wait, she may get this through the judicial system...something about breaking her probation... Day 3 of this cold/flu thinger I have...tried the Alka-Seltzer Cold one...includes aspirin and doesn't get my headache...so bac...

OK, you got it...I don't ever get sick, er, outside of an occasional hangover...just when is the Hangover 3 coming out?...I digress...but, I got a bloody sinus cold...so, it's dayquil, anacin, nyquil, anacin....water...repeat...and no golf!...I hate this dad!...or, so would say my son when he was sick... Playing thru sickness, was Kobe last eve...versus the Pacers...was Pau sick, too?...he's gone downhill...and for all the boasting about the NBA having the best refs...they turn away when Kobe and Dwight dance away...and the bald headed old ump, he just has to be in the loop...call the game the right way...oh yea, the Lake Show lost...again... You do know that Johnny Football was going to go to Oregon, right?...this Mariotta kid was already there...he read it right, and is in Texas...and is the front runner for the Heisman...it's that Chip Kelly Spread O that does it kids... Chip to Philly, Carolina, or SD?...ha ha...sunny SoCal would be great, but they'd hav...

Cyber Monday

Most of you will probably be smack dab in front of your computer, gazing at all the "Cyber Monday" deals...20 years ago, there were very few of us that had these wonders of technology...let alone, the internet ...you know, the phenomena that Al Gore founded...his boast as he was named the running mate of Slick Willy ...and paid for most everything you wanted and needed by this thinger called a "check"...and listened to the likes of Whitney Houston..."I Will Always Love You"...trying to figure out how to buy a $122,000 home...or a $17,000 car...to keep up with the pace of the everyday family...on a $23,000 a year salary...yup, that was 1992...the year that Ross Perot entered the prez race...and it exploded from there... Now, you can buy anything... ANYTHING ...on the net ...and it is a whole easier than running down to the mall and finding that special gift...UPS has to be ecstatic...you can even by a car...and how many of you still have a land line fo...

The Fighting Irish did it...survived the season undefeated...hey, you have your luck outs (Pitt and Stanford) games...and some pretty solid efforts the rest of the way...and last night's win at USC ...well. let's be real... the Trojan's Coach Lane is out of his league ...takes way too much time to call plays and puts his O at risk, WAY TOO MUCH ...I'm glad he's there...I digress... ND has secured itself in the BSBCS Champ Game ...it will be against the winner of the SEC Champ Game, Alabama or Georgia...it would have been against the other undefeated team, Ohio St...talk about awkward... the Buckeyes pulled out all the tricks getting their place fired up...actually bringing back the bloke who got them this season's probation!...and the idiot crowd cheered him!...they deserve each other... Pac 12... the Ducks took it to the Beavers ...close until the half...when Coach Chip makes his adjustments and bam... 4 straight scores and it's over ...I keep thinki...
