Were Back!

So much has happened since my last post. Shall we begin?

UNC is the 2009 NCAA Mens Basketball National Champions. The game was ugly. It was over 10 minutes into the game. The final score was 72-89. There isn’t anything else to be said.

Random Ramblings

Spring Training games have started and Manny isn’t signed. The Dodgers seem to be the only team interested in the outrages outfielder. Today they offered him a 2 year $45 million contract. The first year will be worth $25 million and the second will be worth $20 million. Manny can opt out of the second year. Call me crazy, but $25,000,000 is a lot of money. Is he even worth that much? He is not a strong fielder, but he has one of the best bats in the league. From a marketing standpoint, signing Manny is imperative. After the trade, attendance at Dodger Stadium increased. Everybody bought jerseys and dreads. Just sign the deal, fire Scott Boras and enjoy your money.

North Carolina, Wake Forest, UConn and Pitt have all been ranked #1 in college basketball this year. No team has been able to stay there. Almost instantly after being ranked, they lose. UConn will probably be ranked #1 in the next poll. Where is the love the Oklahoma? Yes, they have lost two straight, but it happened without the best player in college basketball. Blake Griffin makes the Sooner almost unbeatable. When he returns, they will be the top team in college basketball.

There is a rumor that President Obama will be at the Wizards game Friday night. The Wizards will face his Chicago Bulls. If anything, this shows Obama is a true fan. Even though the Bull are still in the playoff race, both teams are under .500. Lets hope the Wizards can at least stay competitive.

Whats Happening

A lot has happened since I last published, so I will try to catch up. I won’t talk about the Super Bowl until we get closer to Sunday. I love football, but there is too much hype. Why did ESPN have Sunday NFL Countdown this mourning?

Tonight is the NHL All-Star game. I know many people don’t care about it, but tonight is all about goals. I love hockey and I want to know why people don’t. The answer I get the most is…not enough scoring. Scoring is up in the NHL and super stars that are capable of 60+ goal seasons are back to the game. The second have of the regular season starts Monday.

Last Tuesday, I went to the UVA vs UMD basketball in College Park. I was ready to bash the notoriously bad mannered Maryland fans, but I couldn’t. The arena was a third empty, which is unacceptable for an ACC opponent. I know it was Inauguration Day, but there was no traffic. The fans that actually showed up, weren’t really into the game. They got loud a few times, but it didn’t feel like a college game. The game itself was bad. Each team was plagued by turnovers and Maryland couldn’t rebound to save their lives.

That what happened this week. My outlook for next week is the Wizards will loose and the Caps will win!
