Media Day, NBA Roundup, Etc.

• Go ahead and get it out of the way here...Media Day entertains me from a non-sports perspective (ex: Ray Buchanan and Shannon Sharpe going at it in 1998, etc.) but from a pure sports standpoint its 99% irrelevant so i won't cover it
• Man Chris Paul is good....people keep sleeping on the Hornets and they went and beat up on another west playoff team in Denver last night....If they only had some frontcourt depth, I'd be real scared of them
• I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Big West game (Pacific vs Cal Poly) last night on the duece....Props to the Network for putting it on for people like me and Ryan
• Warriors sign Chris Webber....not quite as opposed as I was earlier in the week thanks to a couple people for putting rational arguments out there (Chris Sheridan, Ryan, John Hollinger)
• Speaking of Hollinger....his playoff odds thing is up again (I had forgotten about it)...and the spurs are only 75% to make the playoffs? ummm...what? (The hawks are 68% for reference)....the only chance the spurs have of missing the playoffs is Duncan going down for like 25-30 games....In his defense, its a purely stat-based system so clearly there are flaws here
• Erik Bedard deal hasnt happened yet...paging Peter Angelos.....He's known for declining deals his baseball people endorse...damn owners
• Upset in CBB: St. Mary's (the only challenger to Gonzaga) goes down in a game most people don't care about but I wouldve watched had it been on TV.....slight degration for them
• Oh yea...Rod Thorn....rid yourself of Jason Kidd....he doesn't wanna be there and I really hope he can compete for a title......Man, I wish Vince Carter didnt have that ridiculous deal that makes him immovable
• Last thing....Really Weird saga with Rich Rodriguez and his buyout from WV.....I've been following this from obvious Michigan fan reasons....Looks like he's gonna finally pay some but there's def. shadyness going on....I'm not excited about this type of behavior even if it's not his fault necessarily

More later....
