I like sports

            I feel like blogs are those things where people in their mid thirties say “Hey I’m gonna start a blog! I’m gonna take cute pictures of my kittens, and the world can see their beauty! It’s gonna be glorious!” Then after two post they forget about it and the kittens get lost in cyber space. If that’s what this turns into then this is an apology in advanced. Of course, only two people will have read this, so it really shouldn’t matter. Also if you don’t like sports you should stop reading. I just lost my only two readers.

            There’s been a lot of stuff going on in sports recently. Let’s take a moment to remember:

-       - Chris Paul was traded to the Clippers  yesterday and now lets all sit back and watch him throw behind the back no look between the legs double pump bounce pass ally oops to Blake Griffin. No seriously, the Clips first game is against the Warriors.

-      -  Speaking of the Warriors Mark Jackson is supposedly preaching defense this year. The thing is, that’s exactly what Keith Smart said last year and he got shown the door. And with much of the same cast of characters coming back this year, how can we be sure a guy with no NBA coaching experience will have a different result? Hand down man down!

-      -  On a side note, I wish I could be in the room when Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins have a conversation

-      -  Speaking of sucking, the Jaguars were on primetime again tonight. First of all who cares about football in Jacksonville? Is that really even a place? I feel like some rich dude named Jackson really wanted an NFL team, and him and the NFL arranged some corrupt bargain where if he made up a town he could have one. I feel like this has some real who shot JFK conspiracy theory potential.

-      -  How many times do we have to watch Blaine Gabbert. I don’t know if Blaine Gabbert is going to be an NFL quarterback but I know that tonight, he threw a lot of great passes to no one. And I just wrote two more sentences than I should’ve about Blaine Gabbert.

-       - Speaking of questionable quarterbacks, Alex Smith has a lot to prove this Monday night. This week Smith has had to face the most adversity this season following the stinker the Niners put up against the Cardinals. He’s going to need to be more than a game manager if the Niners want to get anywhere in the playoffs. In fairness to him, if football was played on a twenty yard field than he would be dynamite.

-      -  Back to basketball, as the Lakers continue to spiral downhill this offseason and leave some wondering whether there is a changing of the guard at Staples Center. I wouldn’t be so hasty, but I would have to imagine Kobe Bryant is about to go crazy, not Colorado-crazy, but pretty crazy. Seriously, the now Odom-less Lakers aren’t doing anything to help a worn down Kobe that can’t carry the Lakers through the regular season anymore than I can carry my intramural Frisbee team made up of students who couldn’t tell the difference between a Frisbee and a pancake.

-      -  Pau Gasol is the ugliest person ever.

-       - The bowl season is one of my favorites. However, the teams that are making the bowls are getting a little ridiculous. Western Michigan made it to the prestigious Little Caesars Bowl, posting a lofty 7-5 record in the mighty MAC. Is Western Michigan even a college? It’s probably in Jacksonville.

-       - Western Michigan’s mascot is the Broncos. Speaking of the Broncos, Tebow.

-       - The Tebow phenomenon is truly sweeping the nation.  Even if you’re not wearing sweatpants, you can only hide your Tebowner for so long.

-       - I love the guy, but the Denver Tebows are getting extremely lucky. Whether it be Marion Barber fumbling inside the Denver 35 in overtime or Christian Ponder throwing a pick in the closing minutes setting up a Denver field goal , the ball is rolling towards Denver. I love Tebowmania, but in the words of our friends from Cialis “If you have a Tebowner lasting more than 7 games and are about to play the Patriots, call a doctor immediately.”

-       - Of course, once you take one look at Bill Belicheck, I don’t know how you can keep your Tebowner.
