Doesn't happen very often right?...the way they numerals match up...ha ha...and the unusual happened last night in the W by the Lake Show over Pop's Spurs... LA blew a huge lead in the last minute...Pop went off on his inbounder...and the game went OT ...and the most unlikely of all shots fell...by Swaggy P. ..a desperation 3 ball...and the Purple Gang were all giddy...and...Pop has gone over the limit of being a class coach...his statement to the "sideline reporter" was crude and uncalled for... "give me a break!"... << The latest from M's Santa collection ... Not so much with the Clip Joint , the Blazers , and the Cavs ...all victims of 2nd team doldrums...so says me...and off we go... all losers last night ...and the long season takes hold...games that maybe should have been won...later on... Tonight is the announcement of the Heisman Award ...given to the best player in college football...it's probably a lock for Oregon's own ...

Sweep

Not sure I've seen this before... Marcus Mariota has won three of the best of the best national awards thus far ...2 all around best of...and also the best QB...lordy...and now is the front runner for the one that everyone remembers forever... the Heisman ...announced on Saturday... I gagged when I listened to the fools of PTI , who said it should be the embattled QB Winston of the FSU 'Noles...not Mariota...I digress... We went down to the beach yesterday and took Sammi for a walk...and also watched the high waves...no rain here yet...imminent so they say...it was warm and a great time...took pix and got some numbers of where we may stay for a week right on the beach...anyone interested?... You hear the crap out of Kobe's mouth? ... called out his team mates for lack of passion, er desire...ah, the Lake Show...when I watch 'em, the problem is him...bad shots, bad D, and selfish play...if I was busting my arse and he said that to me, I'd bust his arse.... w...

BAM!

And just like that, the Pads are back in the hunt...as they completed a deal to send C Grandal, and a couple of pitcher maybes, to the Bums...for none other than the worst kept secret in all of beisbol... Matt Kemp! ...a legit big time hitter that fits into anyone's lineup beautifully...this time, in OURS!...and the lights are back on at Petco... Let's examine the Dodgers , er Bums...they lost their SS Ramirez...and did a rash of trades to shore up their infield...elder statesman Rollins from the Phillies, another that type, 2B Kendrick from the Angels, and now, C Grandal from SD...that puts Ethier back in the starting lineup in the OF...couple this with the best pitching staff in the game...hmmm... they have lost their speed...and now will go base to base?...I dunno... Hoops... the Clip Joint were on a roller coaster ride with the Pacers...the 1st unit would build up huge leads, and the 2nd would come in and give it all up...the rough part of LA, they are NOT deep...a...

Money Talks

Image
Usually...as the big movers and shakers in the MLB off season have been those with $...and are willing to spend it...the Red Sox...and the CUBBIES! ...always a door mat, they are looking for immediate change in their team...so, Chi-Town, maybe it's your turn for some dominance ...all this is happening down here in SD...them beisbol boys are all over the GQ... So how about the Pads? ...with their new ownership, they have made loads of promises...and thus far?...nuttin honey ...the big rumor is that the acquisition of Matt Kemp is imminent...and I'm hearing more now, that that is a pipe dream...look, we are not far away from being a contender...really...but have to make some moves to get over the hump...fingers are crossed... It is announced that the Browns are finally giving Johnny Football his chance...and have named him their starting QB for this Sunday's game...it's taken 3 months to do this...and I for one, hope that he gets his do...will I be watching?....

Taking the City by Storm

Image
The lurve the Brits and the US have for the Royal Fam is beyond belief...and it's going on in the City ...apparently, the first time for their jaunt there...and the paparazzi are having a field day...or should that be is?...as the Prince and the Duchess cavort about ...last night it was to see our King...er, LeBron James ...in action against the lowly Nets...and of course, there to meet, greet, and sit with them, was another form of US royalty, Jay Z and Beyonce ....ah, can't we all just get together?...apparently so...I'll turn on GMA in a bit, and I'm sure this is the headline... Somehow, I got the missus to watch t he Clips game with me last eve...it was exciting enough for her...and the refs were abysmal ...two of them were rookies and young...and way over their silly ass heads....wait, that doesn't make total sense...you DO know what I mean...they must have reviewed 10 things in the last 7 minutes of playing time...cuz they blew the calls...anyway, the g...

Rose Bowl

Image
It's official...the Final 4 was announced...and the Ducks were number 2...and play the 3rd ranked team, the Florida State Seminoles ...at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena...we are in debate about going...a spendy venture...and...#1 Alabama goes against the last team in, the Ohio St Buckeyes ...which made the east coast very happy...and we are set... Jordan Spieth made a mockery of the T in Florida...winning by like 10 strokes...really...and is 21, not 22 like I said the other day...even more amazing...your guy Tiger?...last of 18...hmmm... Big news... Prince William and the Duchess Kate are in NYC!...famous cuz they are famous...and this is our equivalence to Camelot...right?... The Pats beat the Bolts...there were moments that it looked like SD could get this...but naw, the better team won... SDSU hoops ...scored 36 points in the ENTIRE game in their loss at UDub...eegads, you have to score to win... Oakland Raiders beat the 49ers...what?...never ever bet on the NFL...

Final 4

Image
The regular season games have been played...now it's up to the committee to name the Final 4 teams in the champ series...who you have?...the top 2, I think, are sealed in Alabama and Oregon ...numbers 3 and 4?...huge debate...and the teams in the mix?... FSU (still undefeated), Ohio St (huge win over Wisconsin), TCU (big win versus a patsy), and Baylor ...the east coast pundits want the Buckeyes in bad...real bad...'Bama and the Ducks want FSU in...as they are the easiest of the bunch to beat...ah, at least we are talking 4 teams in lieu of 2... Yup, had my 1st rib eye in 8 weeks...last night at Xmas Party numero dos...tasted so good...won't have another until Christmas Day din din at Mister A's....geez, I have to schedule my times...by the way, it was a very fun time... The Bolts host the Pats in the biggest game of the season thus far for SD...and yes, we have another party to go to...should be a doozy...as everyone there is a Charger fan...and well, ...
