Catch of the Day.
(The guy is fishing. I swear.)
HOOK:
“Road.”
I have said it a million times. A conference road win can be as ugly as you want it to be…as long as it ends up a win. UVA escaped NC State last night. Let’s just take a breath and note it was STILL a win, and also their first game without the most improved player in the country, Justin Anderson. They will adjust, they can’t replace him, someone will step up, and they just need him for the second week of the tourney. By the way, according to Bracketology, UVA is lined up against Michigan State in the second hypothetical round. That is just wrong if that happens after last year.
-I am not even a Broncos fan and I am confused. The elation of Peyton Manning training in New Orleans was diminished when I read an article that they are “debating” on whether to bring him back. Huh?
-WHOOOOAAA. When writing my hook on Vernon Adams the other day, I totally dropped the ball on the summit of this transfer to Oregon. In week one, Oregon and Eastern Washington PLAY each other. Wow.
-Yesterday was the anniversary of Mike Tyson getting knocked out by Buster Douglas. Without thinking too hard about the whole list, it will FOREVER remain one of the biggest upsets of all time.
LINE:
“Mike”
I LOVE the fact that they will re-air that 1991 Be Like Mike commercial during the All Star Game this year. Boom goes the dynamite.
-You can love him or hate him, but if Charles Barkley doesn’t believe in stats, then I guess he doesn’t believe in stats and can say so. Imagine if he would have won that title in 1993. Then, the only comeback EVER against him would be his golf swing.
-The Bucs released Josh McCown, meaning he will sign with ANOTHER team to further confuse his NFL path when we try and remember in a bar argument 10 years from now. I might have miscounted, but I got EIGHT total teams thus far with some UFL team thrown in the middle.
-Well, I guess having the Marlins host the All Star Game in 2017 will at least test the 90% of seats that aren’t used for games. And, Florida is nice for weather. Yay.
-Last night, in a span of ten minutes, Bill Walton ranked Michael Jordan not as the best ever, said “that is one of the five worst possessions in USC history,” and said “have you ever turned on ESPN and not watched ESPN?”
-I might just have to have a Nick Young “line” SECTION every day. Something about a dolphin diving down and trying to kill him. If he was a better player, his stuff would be REALLY funny. Be weird funny AFTER you are good.
SINKER:
“Easy.”
Dude. Pete Rose. Slow DOWN on wanting to chat with the new commish already. You have been banned since forever. Baby stepping a few more months or years is NOT going to kill you.
-Everything about the way that the Kings have courted George Karl WHILE they have their present coach expecting to do games is just wrong.
-Sad when one of the best fighters of all time (St. Pierre) gets healthy and has to announce he would like to come back to a fair fight. These comments are bound to happen when BOTH fighters in a main fight get busted.
-Sad when you have to take a title away from a bunch of proud Little League kids because some grownups decided to stretch geographical lines to win.
-Sad is ANYTHING relating to the Lakers, Buss, Magic, or Kobe. Stay out of the headlines for a while if you will?
-Tiger Woods says he won’t return to the Tour until his game improves. We can wait. Just stop with the fake comebacks.
-Cerk said he has had less than two Easy Cheese canisters approximately in his LIFE. I have had two in a day…multiple times.
-I am going to Crested Butte for the first time in all my years in CO and just found out I could have hiked from Aspen to Crested Butte in a day. That sounds magnificent. I hate missing stuff on my to do list, and that is now added.
