Back on it...

Quickly, thanks for your responses....it was a trying day lol....Let's hop back on it, shall we?
  • Lebron hangs 55 on Milwaukee....something about the Bucks makes the best come out in Mr. James and I don't know why....Richard Jefferson seems like a capable defender to me? No? Okay then....
  • Speaking of scoring....Kobe put up a meager 39 (lol) in beating New Orleans in OT last night...but the line(s) that jumped out to me in that one was.....Rasual Butler scoring...31 points on 20 shot attempts! How does that happen? I blame you Kobe.....Chris Paul's 16 dimes can't be hated on either....while we're there it's worth mentioning
  • Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller dead at 64....he's known for being sort of a curmudgeon, but he revived basketball in that part of the country by bringing the "Jazz" there, and was one of the better-known owners who had been going through a slew of health issues that culminated into this....RIP sir...
  • 2 big injuries in the NBA....Amare out 8 weeks+ with a detached retina....This could badly hurt Phoenix (who literally has no other power forward option, shown by them starting 3 guards with Grant Hill at the 4 last night at home)....and they are now in serious danger of missing the playoffs.......and Kevin Garnett out 2-3 weeks with a knee strain....this one is only big if it causes the Celtics to lose out on homecout in the Conf. Finals matchup with Cleveland....that's all that either team is playing for from here on....
  • The NFL combine is ramping up....did you know? Was NFL Live DAILY IN FEBRUARY enough coverage for you? Or do you need the NFL network?....
  • Kurt Warner's agent says he's coming back....thought you should know....I'm not sure it helps Arizona get back to the Super Bowl if they don't have Anquan Boldin or a significant defensive improvement....but hey, heeeee'sssss backkkkk

And finally....a mini-rant

  • Michael Vick....yes, I was once a huge fan....most of us were to some degree...whether you thought he was a great QB was irrelevant....everyone knew he could electrify you on command...all that said....I can't FATHOM any team actually trading for him...so can we please put this to rest? He'll get picked up off the scrap heap when, not if, but WHEN the Falcons release him the day he's reinstated....but no team is ballsy enough (and stupid enough) to actually give the Falcons anything and assume his contract....Just informing everyone on what the rest of the media won't....
