Musings...20061031

I turned on NBA TV and they were showing KG's first game... against the Kings...ahem, before the turnaround. Starting 5: Olden Polynice, Brian Grant, Walt Williams, Mitch Richmond and Bobby Hurley...waited to see who the first guy off the bench was, but Christian Laettner was pummeling us so I had to turn it off.

I know, first game of the year, but damn.. if Andrew Bynum puts up 18, 9 and 5 assists each night the Lakeshow might have something.. oh, and he's born in 1987!! That's even 7 years after my wife!!

Oh and another thing... Kobe sucks.

How 'bout them Raiders?? Gave up six sacks (had 5 completions, the second time this year they've pulled off the more sacks than completions trick) and managed only 98 yards of total offense... which would be 26 yards fewer than the total yards on their two ints for TD (100, 26)... and a 20-13 win! That's what I call Just Win Baby!!

Big win for Romo and the Boys... you think Al Davis is trying to get Drew Bledsoe in the Silver & Black??

I watched some of the Bears throtteling of the 49ers yesterday... Urlacher is filthy... then switched over to the Falcons-Bengals and Michael Vick was simply impressive... 140 rating, 3 tds and 300 yards, oh, and 55 yards rushing on 9 carries. I'd like to see the Falcons v Bears and watch Urlacher patrolling the middle against Vick...

My big disappointment this weekend was that I fucked up when I set up to record the Mizzou-OU game... so I missed that, but from the highlights it didn't seem very close... Fish said the game was close, but from what I can see online Mizzou played well in the third quarter and shit the bed the other 3 quarters (Pick & fumble in the 1st, -11 yards offense in the 2nd and two picks in the 4th). And the only thing that happened when it was 16-10 was that OU took the ball 80 yards for a TD.

Last I checked turnovers, special teams and drops were part of the game (so is bad officiating OU fans)... Mizzou had zero running game aside from their QB (RBs: 7 carries 1 yard). The tipping point was actually when Mizzou was down 23-10 and had 1st and Goal at the 2 in the 3rd quarter with a chance for fourth quarter momentum... instead it was four x Chase for 1 yard... OU ball.

I guess making $13 million a year (err, to play a game from February to October) can be a pain in the ass for some people. To think that I used to have Gary Sheffield's poster on my bedroom wall and still have about 20 rookie cards (my second (failed) investment). The cousin of Doc Gooden (my first failed investment) can clearly play but to gripe about getting $13 mill to stand in the Yankee outfield should make the average American, hell, the average lottery winner, pretty pissed off. Heard he could be traded... memo to the Cubs: No, no, please no.
