Uh oh.

It is starting to sink in that there is nothing going on in the sports world that I even remotely care about except for Baseball. It is still a long way until football and the drama of the NBA draft and a .500 Giants squad just can not satisfy my sports cravings. This is trouble. I may have to resort to actually (gasp) playing a sport for the next several weeks. I'm beginning to sweat and get back spasms just thinking about how I'm going to endure this dry spell.

Someone in the NBA better make a big trade soon or I'm going to go nuts.

Clint, good to have you back. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

Unless, of course, you disagree with me.

Everytime I think about playing a sport I go lay down. The only time that is a problem is when I forget to locate the remote first. I have been a Giants fan for some time, but there for awhile (8 years in Everett, WA) I gave the Mariners a shot, and outside of a couple of years of some success I thought that was a way to go. Then the really bad year. Then another. The 49ers are another story. Living in 49er country for years, and all those championships. Well, it has been brutal.

1989 seems like ages ago. 1989...the Battle of the Bay
San Francisco Giants vs Oakland A's...the earthquake series. Got the sweatshirt hanging on the wall outside my office door.

Basketball...don't care. Lost me years ago.

Aussie rules football....now there's a sport. Hitting..and no helmets.

10 things that will happen, not "might", "will."

With the season kicking off tonight, every where you look in the paper, on TV or on line people are making their predictions. Well, I’ve read enough, so now I need to share with you what’s really going to happen. These aren’t predictions, this just simple fact. Here are some of the things that will happen in football before Tuesday morning: 1. Deuce McAllister will post better numbers than Reggie Bush this week, but Bush will do something that will remind us all of Sanders and Vick. I see one of those 6 yard runs that takes 2 minutes where about 8 guys miss tackles. 2. The Niners will not be as bad as everyone predicts and the game against the Cardinals will be close 3. TO will have a big game and everyone will act like nothing ever happened and the Cowboys (especially the Tuna) are geniuses for signing him. In 3 weeks when he really melts down, the media will forget everything they said and act like Dallas is the stupidest franch

SOME PLAYOFF OBSERVATIONS I just took a welcomed brake from preparing for trial to watch the Miami v. Detroit game 3. Obviously this was a huge game for Miami and the next one is just as big, but I’m not chiming in to break down the game, but rather to offer a few observations about both the series going on right now. 1. Why do Antoine Walker’s coaches allow him to shoot so many 3s? If I were coaching him, I would tell him that if he ever shot a 3 that wasn’t wide, wide open or if his 3 to drive ratio fell below 5-1, he would sit the bench. Walker is an incredibly talented player and when he attacks the rim both he and the Heat are a much, much, much better team. When you play defense like a matador, you better do more than just miss a bunch of 3s on the other end. He was great tonight just because he took the ball in. It’s not complicated, so why is it so inconsistent? 2. What happened to Gary Payton? He was one of my favorite players for years and years after leaving OSU and playing

Here are my sports thoughts for today. 1. The scene here in Portland related to the NBA draft is driving me crazy. Even if you don’t live in Portland, you may have heard about the “draft the stache” campaign aimed at convincing the Blazers that not a single person will attend their games or buy their merchandise unless they wager the entire future of the franchise on Adam Morrison. If the Blazers trade a valuable asset to trade up and get Morrison with the first pick, I’m going to launch an immediate investigation to determine whether Isaiah Thomas has secretly taken over the Blazers. The Blazers have, for a while now, been about the worst run franchise in sports with the exception of the Knicks and maybe the Hawks, but that would be a new low. If you’ve read this blog before you know I don’t hate Adam Morrison. In fact, he was by far my favorite player and I would not shut up about him at the beginning of the season to anyone who would listen. He was a sensationa
