Random Sports Musings

Don't Blame the Diesel

Sure he might have missed a boatload of free throws in Game 5, but Shaq isn't to blame for the loss against the Spurs. Two-time MVP Steve Nash was absolutely horrible down the stretch, with 3 or 4 costly turnovers in the game's closing minutes. Tony Parker embarrassed Nash all series long. I sure can't wait to see the Parker-Paul match-up in Round 2.

Long Live Sir Charles (and the TNT crew)

I'm sure many of you have seen this video of Kobe Bryant jumping an Aston Martin



Kenny the Jet Smith decided to give it a go with Bryant looking on:



Man. Every night I'm cracking my ass up at these guys. I can't wait for the Dwade appearance tonight.

The Big Eleven are a bunch of pansies

Once again a potential playoff for College Football has been derailed by the commissioners of the Big Ten and the Pac 10, who know the best way for their schools to get a crack at the National Title is to avoid playing anyone decent until the Championship Game. No way Ohio State wants any SEC team until they absolutely have to. This system continues to punish teams in strong conferences and mid majors, while the Buckeyes can continue to roll up the likes of Akron and Toledo in the non conference season, pound Indiana and Northwestern in their weak conference, make it to the BCS title game undefeated, only to get blown out by a battle tested school from the SEC. A 3 loss Tennessee or a 2 loss Florida will beat an 11-0 OSU or Michigan every time.

Shaun Alexander's Homecoming

I have no idea where Shaun Alexander would fit on the Bengals roster, with Rudi, Kenny Watson, Chris Perry, Dorsey, and Irons all taking up spots. But I would love for Mr. Boone County Kentucky to come home and play for the Who-Dey.

God must hate UK

Jason Parker fools around in the locker room.... torn ACL. Derek Anderson is running down the court against Auburn... torn ACL. Tyler Hansbrough jumps off a frat house into an above ground pool.... perfectly healthy. There's no justice in the world.
