"Don't talk back to me!!"

Just a few random thoughts. First off, I went to a high school girls' basketball game tonight. Since no girls read this blog really, especially basketball players, it was a tough experience viewing the "basketball" activity in front of me. The thing it reminded me most of was playing a basketball game on the old Super Nintendo system. A game like NBA Live '95. You know, where the guys on the court cant make swift movements. Every movement they make is preceded by a 90 degree turn. Well that's high school girls basketball. Dribble to a spot. Turn to your right. Dribble to another spot. Turn back to your left, with a slight angle and go. And you're almost to the basket. Even the shots look like the video game. It's fantastic really. Check it out next time you attend.
- Nick Saban is a punk. There, I said it. He lied to everyone who would listen and then lied to the owner who gave him the freaking world. And come to think of it really, who the hell cares? Why are we putting so much stock into a decision that any middle-aged person makes that doesn't affect 99% of the nation directly.
-I love the Boston Bruins. But, they're struggling right now. They lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, 10-2. 10-2 people. 10-2. I typed it one more time to emphasize that is not a typo. This is coming off a 5-1 loss to the Leafs the other night and a 5-0 loss a few nights prior to that. Do the math, and it's 20-3 over the past few games. But at least the goal totals have increased each night.
- Randy Johnson is on his way out of New York. Maybe I'm giving the guy too much credit, but shouldn't we be more excited that a 5-time Cy Young award winner is leaving New York? Sure he hasn't been great since coming to New York, but he's still Randy Johnson. Maybe this means the mullet's coming back too. I'm not really going to miss him, especially if they miss out on Old Man Clemens.
- Notre Dame sucks.
-Peter Gammons said he wouldn't be shocked if JD Drew didn't play with the Red Sox because of this ongoing physical examination nonsense. You think Theo wouldn't mind hitting the "reset" button and start all over with that one?
-Gilbert Arenas is the real deal. The guy can score from anywhere on the court, and if he had any real significant help, he would be Dwayne Wade. That's right, I said it. Who cares though, it's the NBA.
-I don't really have the balls to make NFL picks for the weekend, but if I did, here's what they'd look like.
Indianapolis over Kansas City - Larry Johnson will get his yards, but seriously, who even knew the Chiefs were in the playoff hunt?
New England over New York - Pains me to make that one, but I'll take the Patriots experience over the Mangenious. For this week.
Seattle over Dallas - I just hate the Cowboys. Like I've been saying for 2 months too by the way, Tony Romo was Drew Bledsoe's back up for the past two seasons for a reason.
New York Giants over Philadelphia - You could call this an upset, but let's face it. It's 2 NFC East teams. By law, they both suck. Pick 'em.
That's all I have tonight. Wisdom teeth out tomorrow, gonna be a fun weekend. Take it easy, kids.
