The Long Awaited Return

No worries, kids. I am alive. And I'm back. Spring semester started back up, as did baseball fully equipped with 6 a.m. lifts. I'm devoted to the Nation though and now I'm back. I'm back today with just some commments regarding all things sport.

The Denver Nuggets - Bo wanted me to write a whole post devoted to the new tandom of Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony in the Mile High City. And then I got to thinking about it, and realized that would require me to write upwards of 500 words about an NBA teamed not from Boston. I just can't do it. I will say this about the Nuggets. The trade doesn't mean anything. It makes a decent team good in a great conference. Does anyone really believe that the Nuggets can play with the likes of Dallas, San Antonio, or Phoenix? Carmelo, AI, and company do not play defense. God help them if they run into the offensive buzzsaw that is the Phoenix Suns. They're a stopper, a true point guard, and a couple more stoppers away from being true contenders. Until then, they're not beating the aforementioned teams and will have to resort to being just fun to watch.
JD Drew - He signed with the Red Sox. You've all had seven weeks to discuss and analyze the deal, its implications, and how Drew will fare. So I'm not going to, but I'm glad it's over with and I'm very confident with the team that's going to Fort Myers in a short two and a half to three weeks.
Super Bowl XLI - It took all the restraint in the world not to write a whole post about how nice it was to see the Patriots get knocked off, but hell it was very nice. I'm not going to gloat or anything, the Colts aren't my team or anything, but like I said I do enjoy watching Pats lose. And Bill Bellichick is an assclown. He's as close as there is to a genius as there is in football, but an assclown nonetheless. Guy can't take losing. Is it time to demote Tom Brady from a god to like a saint or something now too? Four picks in two weeks, including the back-breaker on the final drive of the game. I'm happy for Peyton Manning, I think his time is here too. I wouldn't be surprised if he and the Colts go on a Pats-esque run of Super Bowl wins now. That is, if he gets past that Chicago Bears defense. I like his chances though after watching Drew Brees tear them up last week in a losing effort. My early inclination says Colts 31, Bears 24.

Just one last note, make sure you check out Tiger Woods' new Buick commercial. Absolutely hilarious. Just know that while watching it, that Tiger does his own stunts. That, and he'd make a great middle linebacker.
That's all I've got for now. Back soon. -MC
