Stephon Marbury waiting for the bus

paneech — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:33:59 +0000

This must be how Stephon Marbury is practicing up for his new life in Greece or France next season. Driving on the left side of the road would be much when you barely drove on the right side here. Maybe the bus tokens are part of the severance package from the Knicks. After all, Stephon has been used to riding things for nothing all year. Riding the bench, riding his shoe contract (Steve & Barry’s just closed over 100 stores), riding the media, and oh yeah, riding our nerves about why our economy can afford to eliminate crybabies like you. Adios Stephon, enjoy the gyros and learning a new language.

Alexander Ovechkin with the goal of the year

This is truly a piece of art that even a non-hockey fan can appreciate. Alexander Ovechkin showcases his speed, awareness, and ability to adapt in an eight second span. Chpura can’t keep up with him. Price looks like a confused goalie once Ovechkin falls to his side and slides toward the crease.
The only thing I have done on my side in the past six months is lie on my couch, and I have trouble with that sometimes.
This has to be the candidate for goal of the year so far.

Mitch Albom Badmouths Bloggers on ESPN Radio!

paneech — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 23:15:08 +0000

While driving around on Thursday, February 12, 2009, I was flipping through radio stations. I happened to have good timing as the Tirico and Van Pelt Show was headed to a commercial with the tease, “Mitch Albom will weigh in on bloggers”. The three commercials were two full red lights, you know, one of those three minute build a bear deals, and a couple other normal sized ads.

Once break was over Mike Tirico welcomed Mitch Albom, the Detroit writer who made himself famous on a television program called The Sports Writers on ESPN. Albom muttered his way through some irrelevant stuff until asked what he thought of bloggers. Albom replied, and I quote, “I went to Columbia University and earned a masters degree in journalism, I’m not sure what qualifications the bloggers have, but they were not trained in the manner I was. They act like they have the inside information when actually they are just sitting under a big table waiting for the scraps to fall”.

Thanks for that Mitch. Funny how Tuesdays With Morrie falls nowhere near journalism, but rather fiction, a completely different style. Also comical if you watch the video clip, it looks like Albom and his boys are getting paid to do something they definitely should reconsider — singing and playing Billy Joel songs? Wow.

One of your esteemed colleagues really nails the point home Mitch. Remember when Rod Marinelli was coaching the Lions about 4 months ago and was verbally attacked by one of your esteemed chums who told poor Rod that his daughter married the wrong defensive coordinator? Comical it happened in your hometown of Detroit Mitch, that was real professional.

Big Baby Davis blows Celtics chances against Los Angeles

I’m not sure who should shoulder more of the blame for Boston’s loss to Los Angeles Thursady night, Big Baby Davis or Doc Rivers. As I sat and watched a great basketball game until there were about two minutes left, I wondered who would make the mistake and allow the other team to win. My early guesses were Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Big Baby Davis, and Scalabrini — but he never made it on the floor for this game. As the fourth quarter time elapsed my goat had been discovered. Big Baby Davis won the award for worst decisions to win a game in overtime. The Celtics have Eddie House on the bench so Big Baby can heave one up from 30 feet with twenty seconds on the shot clock. Then he gets the ball on the last Celtic possession and wildly fires it up barely contacting the rim. Overtime starts, Big Baby takes the floor again and manages to continually screw up. I would guess in the last quarter and overtime he was about 1 of 7 from the floor. Missing shots is one thing, but if you watch American Idol, you know how important song selection is. Big Baby was a poor song choice, at least in this game.

Holmes Catch wins Super Bowl XLIII

paneech — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:56:59 +0000

What a catch this was to seal a Super Bowl XLIII victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers. When the play was run live they were showing it from the opposite angle of this video making it look like there was no way Santonio was in bounds. This angle clearly shows possesion and a perfect foot placement job to get the score! This could go down as one of the best catches ever made in a Super Bowl game!
