The good, the bad, and the ugly.
HOOK:
“NBA.”
The good: Mark Jackson and Jeff Hornacek I think both got robbed in their first NBA gigs. They are being interviewed by the Kings. One or both of them need to have coaching jobs.
The bad: Nine straight the Hawks have lost to the Cavs. And to make it more painful, they get worked, make it ALL the way back and lead late, and THEN lose.
The ugly: Five missed calls in one play…is a lot. Apparently though, the Thunder have come to play. Would love to see a long series, and so would the depleted Warriors watching from afar.
LINE:
“Unfulfilled.”
This is a sometimes sad, sometimes intriguing, but very memorable list ESPN came up with for unfulfilling sports careers. http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/15447349/top-25-unfulfilled-potential-reality-falls-spectacularly-short-expectations
SINKER:
“Sandoval.”
Nice for a 5 year/ $95 million investment to come to spring training more overweight than typical. Nicer that he loses his starting job on skill. Nicest that the investment is out for the season officially with an injury.
THE RIVER:
-Bryce Harper signed an undisclosed contract with Under Armour. Sounds about right for the company that originally posted his clown line on a shirt (which I have since stolen).
-The sadness in the air you feel is the cloud that hangs over the male single crowd today. Kate Upton is officially engaged to Justin Verlander. If you were wondering why he isn’t losing his mind over a decreasing in speed fastball, now you know. The focus might be on other things.
-Put me down for the slightly politically incorrect 10-1 Gun Runner in the upcoming Kentucky Derby.
-I read the article on where Shon Coleman watched the draft and it made me feel like I haven’t accomplished anything in life. Great stuff.
-In TV season for me. Ballers coming back. Kenny Powers guy on another show. Silicon Valley getting all whack and staying great. And Game of Thrones has my main guy as a dragon keeper/ friend/ possible Targ now. And THIS is a very good thing. Boom goes the dynamite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45DRy7M1no
That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
