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.

Some quick thoughts

A few quick sports thoughts for you today: I don’t understand why people don’t talk about how much Tyler Hansborough looks like a really tall Frodo Baggins. Also, why does he have such a bad haircut? I think the teams in the Western Conference should be afraid of Denver. They are playing as well as anyone outside of LA and Melo hasn’t even started playing well yet. What if this is the year that Nene and Kmart actually stay healthy and Karl becomes a big game coach? Oh yeah, forget everything I just said. Oh well, at least the trade helped Billups on my fantasy team. I can’t figure out why the Blazers don’t throw lobs to Oden. There is no play where this is even attempted. Yeah, he is still getting his legs back and doesn’t jump out of the gym, but he jumps well and is 7 freakin feat tall. Do the Blazers (other than Sergio) not know how? Does coach Nate hate lobs? It seems like Oden could get 8 points a game just by either running to the hoop on pick and rolls like Tyson Chand...

Why was Charles Barkley dressed like Tony Soprano tonight? What was with the gold medalion and the open collar? Do they not have wardrobe people at TNT? And seriously, what happened to Magic? I've put on a few extra pounds as I've aged, but he's put on a few extra people. To think that he was once an elite athelete running a fast paced team is astonishing. That he is a spokesperson for 24 hour fitness is hilarious. I know it is looking like Dallas is going to beat Phoenix, but what happens if Phoenix plays Miami? Will Shaq score 60 points or not be allowed off the bench because his man will be open for 3 all night? That is the goofiest matchup I can imagine, and I'm not even sure I want to watch it play out. It's just wrong somehow. Dallas/Miami though would be epic. Man, I hope Miami beats Detroit. 715 was hit today. I honestly believe that all Bonds ever wanted out of baseball was to be considered in the conversation for who was the best ever. The guy who acts lik...

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 ...
