Interview Reduntancies

Image
NFL ...I suppose I am saying the obvious here...but how many times must we listen or watch what the "experts' say about who and when the collegiate football players are going to be drafted?...there are guys who actually make a salary doing this... and I'm sure they are making a decent sum... BOZOS ... The redundant interviews of the players...by the conglomerate of coaching and owner staffs of each team in the league...c'mon...how many times can you send a group to interview either FSU's Winston or UO's Mariota ?...the stories are clear...one guy has a huge checkered past and one has a spot on one...duh...and you need to travel to Tallahassee to figure it out?...or to Eugene?... what a joke... You need to be spending time with the rest of your pix...like all the rest of the rounds...as that's where you make or break your team...however, there is a reason you are picking in the top echelon...you are not one of the best organizations ...and chances a...

Thursday Tidbits

Good morning kids...how the heck are you all doing?...the NBA Playoff field is set...and the ploy of the league to get OKC in, didn't work...as New Orleans won out...and got the 8th seed in the west...ha ha... too bad mister technical ... Portland limped in...as the 4th seed...as they got that spot due to winning their division...even though they had a worse record than numbers 5 and 6...they have injuries...and well, the lack of defense...and are set to play Memphis... one and done...again... The Pads won the series with the DBacks ...dramatic fashion...as the dinger by Upton in the 8th proved to be the winning shot...oh my, we are a diff team...and the closer Kimbrel...unbelievable ...today is a roadie...off to Chi-town...to face the Cubbies...and then it's Colorado... two very good tests... How can a bloke fly into the Capitol Grounds in a mickey mouse plane?...and not get shot down?...we apparently are much more lax than I want to admit... need a major make...

Sham or Shame?

Rescind is the topic...the more I thought about it, the more I got disgusted...The NBA's dealing with the Oklahoma City's star guard, Russell Westbrook ...as he went into the no zone... got his 16th technical foul...and the rule is...you then have to sit out the next game ...BTW, he had one other rescinded a couple of weeks ago...which gets me here... The playoffs start in a few days...and OKC is in a donnybrook with the Pelicans for the 8th and final spot. ..without Westbrook, there is a slight chance of getting a win in the game with the Blazers...they have to get the V...and somehow, the league took the tech back ...and he played...and they won...keeping their hopes alive... I watched the tech... he deserved it ...and the official had no option...immediately, Westbrook, knew what he had done...tried to undo it...put his arm around the official... an ugly piece of the puzzle that pro sports throw out ...it's worse in the NFL...yet, we watch and are in dismay...it...

New Kid in Town

Image
The Eagles...there is a new kid in town...this youngin... Jordan Spieth ... led the Masters from the outset...and whupped all them older blokes...a record tying 18 under ...interesting, as he is not the longest driver...but he has no fear and is a tremendous putter... earned a decent $1.8 million + ...countless endorsements to follow...needless to say, he is set for life...think this T isn't huge?...especially for the youth?... The Pads won the series with the Giants ...3-1...and is but a mere indicator of things to come...the DBacks roll into town for a 3 gamer... Cashner goes tonight...hoping for a better outing than his last...a debacle in LA...ah hem, Solarte at 2B...again...hmmm...somebody must be reading my blog... Buddy?...ha ha... And the one and only original Beach Boy, Brian Wilson ...just put out a new CD ...heard snippets on the iTunes...and it's pretty good... some nice tracks early...so I bought it...and am liking it, kids...he has some guest singers w...

High Drama

And it was a beautiful Saturday at the Masters ... the legendary blokes were firing ... Lefty especially...and puts him close enuff to sniff the boy wonder, Jason Spieth ... Tiger made a charge and is NOT through...good, for the game, so they say...and Rory moved up....way cool...makes for a great 18 holes today...lurking is Justin Rose ...just 4 back...and in the final pair with the kid... Spieth showed a bit of wear and tear on the 17th...with a DB...and he then followed it back up with a miracle par on the closing hole...I am not crowning him yet... I can only imagine the pressure ...Lefty, Rose, Rory, and Tiger know it...a major test for him... Well, it took a few days for the newbies to get their shots to fall.. .the Pads ...against the top pitcher in baseball last year... Madison Bumgarner...of the Giants ...we countered with our ace, James Shields ...who just so happened was beaten by MB last year in the Series...not last night... SD whupped out 20 hits...20! ...and...
