If you can't beat 'em... steal him!

My postings are continuing to be few and far between. I don't even know why. To everyone who knows me I can usually make up a bull shit answer or reason for everything. Oh well.

Sweet 16 starts tomorrow and I am thinking it is going to be a rather crazy weekend. Not in the sense of huge upsets because, well, all of them are gone. Arizona is not a Cinderella team. Yes, they backed in. Yes, they belong. No, they didn't play the best this year, but they are a storied team that has succeeded within the past ten years.

This weekend will be full of great basketball though that I think mostly every game will go wire to wire with excitement. Though tomorrow is only thursday, during March Maddness it is considered the weekend.

Watched the movie Celtic Pride last night. I thought it was going to be one of those movies that is great when you're a little kid but then you grow up and it's stupid (Ernest Goes To Camp/Jail/NBA/Grave(ouch) ). Well it wasn't the case. Sure it was set in the 90's and is a little out dated but the concept and the movie is still very well done.

It's Been A While

Haven't been writing as much as I want to lately. Actually, to about everyone's surprise, I have been reading. I'm finishing up "Boys Will Be Boys" which is about the Cowboy dynasty in the early 90's. It's pretty good, pretty crazy though. The picture up top has no relevence to this post. It could lead to a topic about my father but, hey I'm not going to do that.

My updated mock draft is not yet complete. Nor will it anytime soon I believe, especially with cry baby Cutler making a mess of things. John Clayton reported that Cleveland may be interested with giving away Brady Quinn. Mark this down right now, that if they do that, I will resign as a fan from the Browns. I will then become a free agent in the NFL market.

The big dance starts tomorrow and I don't think there will be many upsets. Some notable ones I have are Maryland (loved the way they played in the ACC tournament) and Temple (bunch of hard nosed kids). It's hard to predict upsets because if you miss, you look like a dumb ass. Oh yea sure, Michigan State upset in the first round? It can happen, but if you pick it and it doesn't, you're a retard.

I will leave everyone with these picks as the MLB season is coming upon us. Division winners in the league will be:

AL East: Boston Red Sox
AL Central: Minnesota Twins
AL West: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California in the U.S. of North America
AL Wild Card: Cleveland Indians

NL East: New York Mets
NL Central: Milwaukee Brewers
NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Wild Card: Chicago Cubs

That's right both World Series teams from last year miss the playoffs. The Dodgers are a shoe in in (what?) the NL West, and the Cubs get in over the Phills because they get to play Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and the downward Cardinals more than other teams in other divisions.

Hooping it up tonight. Real World after. Excited.

Start It All Over

Kansas City and New England messed up my whole mock draft. Obviously with trading for Cassel, The Chiefs will no longer take a QB. WIth this whole Jay Cutler pissed they tried to trade him mess, maybe the Lions will make a play at the already proven NFL QB. I am currently in the thought process of my new mock draft so if you have been following along (you haven't) then it will be a couple days until I figure this out. It will also probably be messed up again because of the overrated free agents that will be going places. The only worthy free agent to talk about at this point is Kurt Warner.

While we're on starting over, what are the Dodgers thinking? They got Manny for free last year and he single handedly got them to the NLCS. The whole team played considerably better when Manny came to LA and it would continue on this year. This is obviously a guy who you want to keep happy or else he will be a cancer. This guy will also make way more money for the Dodgers than they will have to pay him. Oh yea, and he produces. The Dodgers are lucky that no other team wants Manny because they would be screwed. I don't see why the Mets wouldn't try and get him in the middle of their line-up. The Mets NEED to win the division this year and get to the World Series after the past 2 seasons they had. Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Manny, ew...

I am currently looking for a partner that roots for an out of town team to split the mlb.tv subscription with me so that I can watch not only the Red Sox, but any game I want. If you are interested, let me know.

Obviously I have to put in my two cents on the Browns trading K2. WHY!? This guy catches the ball! Wants to play! Wants to punish defenses. This is all the right things in a player. Sure he is a jerk but that doesn't effect his play. Brady Quinn is the future of the Browns and he hooked up with Kellen over 10 times in his Thursday night start against the Broncos. Should have won the game because of it. He loved him. These new guys are trying to make a statement and they picked the wrong guy to move. Dumb move.
