Shanahan to coach Redskins

Yes, that is seriously a football team’s name. Anyway, it’s official that the greatest coach in Denver Broncos history is heading to the overexposed NFC East. I twittered about this a bunch tonight so you can hit the link to the right if you want to see what I said. I appreciated more the sentiment from my Sunday Ticket host, who texted, “I feel like my ex-gf just got married.”

And go Nuggets! Crazy win against the Warriors tonight.

I'd like to nominate this: "Carmelo wasn't at the game tonight, was he? Josh McDaniels must've banned him from the building for getting injured" as the best tweet of the week!

I'm not sure if the Nuggets deserved that victory, but with Melo, Billups, Andersen, and now Lawson all injured we need any break we can get!

I've been really impressed with K-Mart stepping up both as a leader and with his production in the absence of Melo and Billups. K-Mart has a double-double in 5 of the last 6 games.

Yesterday the college football post-season mercifully came to a close. I find myself watching fewer and fewer games each passing season. It's hard to get very excited about college football when the post-season consists of 34 exhibition games.

Here's to hoping that Boise State gets a high enough ranking pre-season next year that they will have a shot at crashing the championship game!

Wasn't Obama going to push for a playoff system?!

Thanks! (to your first comment)

Props to K-Mart...I didn't expect anything out of the Nuggets with Chauncey and 'Melo out, so I'll take it.

I watched the Fiesta Bowl and enjoyed doing so, though it was kinda just swapping punts for a long time. Cool game. I thought TCU was going to play better after the season they had. Love their cheerleaders, though. That's inappropriate. It would be nice if Boise State had played more real teams, though.

The President is in favor of a playoff system; I'd love it if he started putting pressure on the NCAA/BCS/whoever, and no, I am not kidding.

Orange Julius

All right, class, what kind of things do we look for in an NBA draftee? A player who's proven, or one with oodles of upside? A guy coming off a spectacular college career, or one coming off the bench for his Serbian club team? A player who's shown constant improvement, or one who mysteriously fared worse as a senior than a junior? No, Kiki, put your hand down, it's the first answer to each of these questions, not the second. Yesterday the Nuggets picked 20th in the first round, selecting Julius Hodge, shooting guard/small forward, out of North Carolina State. College fans will immediately recognize his name, as Hodge was the ACC Player of the Year as a junior. Unfortunately, he just finished his senior year, which was marked mostly by a dip in his scoring numbers (he developed a sudden inability to hit free throws or threes) and a punch to the groin by Wake Forest guard Chris Paul. Hodge is mostly a mid-range and slashing-type scorer, kind of like the more-than-sufficient s...

National Basketball Association Finals Preview Blowout!

If you're looking for a stereotypical matchup breakdown for the NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs, (Game One is tonight, 7 o'clock Mountain, ABC), you've come to the right place! Center: Ben Wallace, Pistons vs. Nazr Mohammed, Spurs Wallace might be the league's top defender, winning his third Defensive Player of the Year award this season and leading the Pistons in both blocks and steals. It's said he's an improved offensive player, but he still scores primarily on tips and wide-open dunks. "Big Ben" is horrific from the foul line, connecting on 42.8% this season. Also, his brother has taken on NBA players and can probably beat up Mohammed's brother. Mohammed has been a good fit for the Spurs since being traded from the Knicks. It appears Isiah Thomas may have finally made his first mistake as general manager in New York, as Mohammed has started every Spurs' playoff game, averaging 8.1 points to go with a solid seven...

Who cares?

So we finally got done with the NBA playoffs after nearly two months of stretched-out play, and tomorrow's the draft. I really couldn't care less. I'm so burned out on the sport. Sadly, there's nothing else going on worth mentioning, so we might as well get into it. (Yes, baseball, Pugs, but I haven't really started following that this year yet, sorry.) Would the NFL hold its draft five days after the Super Bowl? Of course not, and not just because the league doesn't want to distract from the highlight of its annual calendar, the Pro Bowl. Of course, the NBA's situation is a little different. College play ended two and a half months ago, and the teams want to get draftees ready for the all-important summer league play (because the kind of guys that need the summer league always end up players). Not that when college basketball is over is relevant, anyway-the league is overrun by a bunch of high school players "just months removed from their prom" (...
