I will try to write about it soon, but it hurts right now.

I got a ton a phone calls and text messages yesterday when the Bucs released Brooks, Dunn, June, Hilliard and Galloway. Thank god I was at work or I may have done something stupid. I can understand or deal with all of those moves except for Derrick Brooks. Why Brooks? Is there a plan to [...]

Where are the Lightning going?

I’m not going to pile on an already bad team here, they know they suck. I just am confused as to what they are trying to accomplish on the ice. I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the Bolts over the last couple weeks and I finally watched a couple full games last night and [...]

Will the Alston deal do it for the Magic?

Rafer Alston came over to the Orlando Magic last week in their big trade deadline deal and looks like he’s going to fit in nicely. He has played two games, starting one, and helped the Magic get victories against the Heat and Bobcats. Alston is a true point guard and increase scoring opportunities for everyone [...]

Dwight loses because of himself.

Dwight Howard lost the dunk contest tonight to Nate Robinson. He should have and he took part in his own loss. He didn’t lose because he was bad and he didn’t lose because Nate Robinson was so good. He lost because he decided to stand still under Robinson as he dunked over him. Nate Robinson [...]

Dwight needs to top the other, not superman.

Another quick note here. Dwight Howard needs to top the actual best “dunk” from last year to win, not the best “dressed” dunk. The superman thing was cool, but it wasn’t a dunk, he threw it in. The backboard tap was the sickest thing anyone saw and that’s what he needs to beat. I don’t [...]

Why am I watching this?

It shows the state of the athletes in the NBA when a guy like Daequan Cook wins the 3-point shootout. I didn’t expect Rashard Lewis to win, I would have been just as disappointed if he did, but I did expect the guy (Jason Kapono) with the best shot to take it. That was the [...]

Rays look ready for ‘09.

The Rays have had a fairly busy offseason and now look pretty well set for the upcoming 2009 season. They have signed a few minor league free agents over the last few weeks to fill things out, including Morgan Ensberg. Ensberg wil most likely end up playing 3B in Durham but is a very nice [...]

The Lightning need more like McKenna.

It’s time for the Bolts to admit that this is a rebuilding year and just start heaving the young players into the lineup to take their lumps. It’s time for the youngsters to show and prove. I have seen enough from this team this year to know that they are not going to improve behind [...]

I’ll go ahead and jump into the A-Roid mix.

There were a few crazy things that went on over the last couple weeks that I wanted to touch on and didn’t have time, but nothing got my attention more than the A-Rod deal. There has already been a tremendous amount of backlash on this situation and some of it is just funny. The dumbest [...]
