Let me first start off by saying that if I see another college basketball player lay on the ground and pretend he is injured just because he made a bad play and his feelings are hurt... I may lose my mind! When did these college basketball players become such wusses? They need to get up off the floor immediately, admit that they screwed up and get ready for the next play. Unless, of course, they have a coach that likes to pull players from the game immediately after a turnover just to scream in their face. In that case, best of luck to you!
Roger Federer won his Sweet 16th Grand Slam title early this morning in Australia. Getting to 20 Grand Slam titles is a real possibility for him now! It looked like for a little while Rafa Nadal was going to take the "Tennis King" title from Federer, but it's amazing how much injuries can be an equalizer. Federer will go down as perhaps the greatest tennis champion of all time and the best part is that he is as classy of a champion as you'll ever find.
Portland's Andre Miller scored 52 points last night against the Mavericks! How the hell does HE score 52 points on anyone?! I guess NBA defenses during the regular season can be worse than I even imagined. Heck, I may even be able to score in double figures in an NBA game at some point. Now the trick is to find an NBA team that would want to draft a former Division III college basketball player whose coach told him not to shoot unless he absolutely had to.
Number 8. Gonzaga lost to San Francisco last night. The Zags are lucky they got this horrible loss out of their system before tournament time! Many people have said that this Zags team could go deeper in the Big Dance than any other Zags team before them. With losses against teams like San Francisco, I beg to differ. I always pull for the Zags to go far in the tournament, and one occasion I actually picked them to go to the Final Four, but lately they seem to constantly disappoint on the big stage. Gone are the days of Dan Dickau!
Former NFL star Herschel Walker won his MMA debut last night at the age of 47. I don't consider myself to be a fighter to begin with, but at age 47 I could think of at least 100 things I'd rather be doing than starting my journey to the UFC.
And on that note, here is a "Top 10 List" of things I'll be doing at age 47... rather than fighting.

My number 1 choice for you to be doing at 47 is lying in a coffin. I hope you die.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a surprising response from you. You have to come up with new comments from time to time. You can only hope for your friends' death so many times before it gets old. Phony
