Boomin’
Thoughts for the day…
- Quick one today. Commercials during second half of UVA-UNC game.
- Of course, those plastic cup drinks were energy drinks and tomato juice in Johnny Football’s hands on the Miami yacht over the weekend. Seriously though, dude doesn’t LOOK like a guy in hard training for an NFL comeback. Pale and out of shape.
- Kyle Guy, man bun and all, is once again showing signs of a future superstar.
- …and just buried another one…
- UNC is a big team. They have all the goods to make a championship run-know that.
- One more thing about Guy. Hey, not trying to say UVA is a lock contender, because they are not, but check out this. Remember a certain freshman (Allen) coming alive in the tourney to lead a Duke team to the promised land? Well, if Guy becomes another offensive option, it changes things.
- Big day for the Steelers. Put an exclusive (important) franchise tag on Bell and paid Brown. It is what it is, people. They are a lucky team to have two young stars at skill positions. So, they have to pay that talent. Now, if they could just get a tight end, edge rusher, a cornerback, and a backup QB and they would be SET.
- Sad. Judge Wapner died? He was the man.
- He might be back for the playoffs, but hearing Lowry needs wrist surgery can not make the Raptors brass happy. They would have liked to have gone into the playoffs reloaded and in sync/ rhythm as opposed to getting a guy back in the rotation RIGHT before teams can send you home.
- The Cardinals franchised Chandler Jones, which is good. I am also focusing on finding a backup QB if I am them. I like Peter King’s conspiracy theory that they might go after Cutler.
- “Embiid” and “MRI” are NOT two well paired words in The Process.
- Joakim Noah’s season is probably done. Weird. I barely felt his presence when his season was still going on. He aged like 10 years in the last two years.
- Weird to see the Jazz on ANYONE’s top 5 in NBA power rankings…but there they are…
- So, at the combine you get to ask the players ALL types of detailed questions. Therefore, I am confused why Joe Mixon was NOT invited. Isn’t that the opportunity to really figure out how far he should drop?
- I have always said Skip Bayless makes me sad because I can’t believe that idiot made it in the sports world. So, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised he described Belichick as just a “very good coach” and not a great one.
- Maybe if we got Skip and Kim Mulkey from Baylor in a room together, they could split the atom and stuff.
- No Deadspin stuff today…day off. Go to the site yourself.
- This is a great article pre-tourney about each contender’s possible weaknesses. http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2017/02/27/big-east-sec-pac-12-scouting-reports-ncaa-tournament
- So, players are basically just saying they will go to the Cavs these days? Are they telling LeBron? Was D-Will a plan? Does James know that Bogut is heading his way too? Is this the official bandwagon and people are just jumping aboard?
- MSU beat Wisconsin yesterday just in case you thought you had EITHER team figured out. Because you don’t. Trust me. I don’t either.
- I like my plans for next weekend. Roller Derby at The Fillmore to watch one of our friends (Make You Pay) and seeing some Illusionist, which will be cool…because magic rocks.
- I don’t feel like putting pics in this blog…maybe during the week.
- I need to figure out if we are going to Big Sean on a school night. Probably not though. It IS only ONE block from my door.
- Mt. Fuji is such a cool place to go eat. Went there last night for someone’s birthday. You should go if you have never been.
- I totally spaced about the Daytona 500 being on yesterday. I would have watched a little. Like the last 10 laps. And probably talking about how rubbin’s racing and how everything I know about racing is from Days of Thunder.
- I thought Tony Stewart’s interview was uncommonly classy for him. When you maybe ran someone over and got away with it, then I guess you become a little more polite in life.
- The Oscars. Ugghhh. Listen, you have been reading about it all day so I am not going to pile on. Kimmel making fun of Damon was funny, the wrong movie being called was funny as hell, and Steve Harvey can now go back to living a normal life. Off the hook.
- That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
