I HATE FANTASY FOOTBALL!

And all other fantasy leagues for that matter. I tried it once. My best friend and I had a team for about three years. He still has it. My feelings for it were the same after I played as they were before I played. Fantasy football promotes the individual more than the team. I find it funny when all... Sign in to see full entry.

Piazza Delivers

The first inning of the major league all-star game was great. With all of the talk of how Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza would work together as a battery, we sure found out quickly. They couldn't. Clemens took the worst beating of his career. When my nephew got home from work and walked in the door I... Sign in to see full entry.

Coach K Stays!

Good! For two reasons. One, because I didn't want someone that I hate, coaching a team that I like. Second, and more important, I didn't want any excuses from the Dukies when Maryland kicked their ass. The rivalry just would not have been the same without Coach K. Let's face it, it's not the same... Sign in to see full entry.

Coack K To LA! No Way!

Damn! What are the Lakers trying to do to me. First Kobe screws up. Then they sign Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Then they lose in the finals to the Detroit Pistons. Oh they weren't done there, apparently. Next it was Shaq saying, "Get me outta here." and Mitch Kupchak putting the big man on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Washington or Northern Virgina?

How about retraction? Major league baseball should look at removing six teams. Those teams would be Milwaukeee, Tampa, Florida, Montreal, Toronto, and Minnesota. But of course that's not going to happen. The problem is not that there is not a big enough talent pool, it's that there are not enough... Sign in to see full entry.

Say It Ain't So Shaq. Say It Ain't So.

So it looks like the Big Aristotle has everything out of the Laker lockeroom door except for his big toe. I knew that it would be bad, but not this bad. First Phil takes his beakers and chemicals and leaves, then Gary Payton decides to be a pain in the ass and stay, and now Shaq Fu is outta here. It... Sign in to see full entry.

Celebrate Detroit, You Deserve It

Karma 4 Lakers 1. That was the final score of the 2004 NBA Finals. The Detroit Pistons beat the Lakers in every phase of the game. No excuses from this Laker fan. I don't believe in upsets. The better team won. And like I've said all along, it wouldn't have sat well with me to see Kobe Bryant come... Sign in to see full entry.

Bird Speaks

Well ESPN tried to make a big deal out of Larry Bird saying that the NBA needs more white stars. I have no problem with what he said. When I was a kid, my first favorite football team was the Kansas City Chiefs of the early seventies. Why? Becaue they had guys who looked like me. Black. Willie... Sign in to see full entry.

1 AND 1, Kobe Gets it Done

I'll say this once, I'll say it a thousand times. In basketball, defense is nice, but OFFENSE wins championships. Sooner or later, you have to put the ball in the basket. You can't pitch a shutout in basketball. Case in point was game 2 of the NBA Finals. Everyone said that the Lakers would have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Karma

Game one of the NBA Finals is in the books and the L.A. Lakers find themselves down 1-0. As I Laker fan, I have said many times that I've hard a hard time rooting for this team, this year. But I do. I also, said that I would not be surprised to see the Lakers fall short, because I did not think that... Sign in to see full entry.
