Friday night I went to a bar with some people I didn't really know, so I found myself watching the Rockets-Nuggets game all night. I had no idea I was going to be watching history in the making. Something bigger than Lance Armstrong winning 7 Tours in a row. Something bigger than UCLA's NCAA tournament championship streak. Bigger than Tom Brady's ego and Jason Marquis' ignorance...combined. Bigger than Barry Bonds...period. Yeah...Dikembo Mutombo going for 23 rebounds. The first man EVER to be 40+ and grab 20+ boards. AND I SAW IT! Oh yea...I also happened to see on the Bottom Line that Patrick Lalime had a stellar performance on the same evening..14 saves, 4 goals allowed. There's only one thing you can say about Lalime...consistent. -Ly Bad. Did anybody else catch Mark Prior's spring training debut: 4 runs in 1 1/3. Hooray Chicago? Sammy Sosa hit a homerun. Ankiel's banging, J-Rod's out. Trust me. You can't deny young talent. Speaking of young talent the new Blues are 2-1. They did blow a two goal advantage in the third of three periods on Saturday, but they have Calgary tonight and the flapping heads won't be happy when Brad Boyes shows the Flames why he's the most exciting young talent in the NHL. All this uproar about a little blood on Hansbrough's face..look, if he can't hack it in the ACC then I hear his mother kept his childhood bedroom intact back in the PB. I'm sure Tyler has pictures of himself getting swatted by Scott Wittenborn back in the early years of this millennium...because Scott did that...like...7 times. If ignorance is truly bliss, then you get a happy Ron Artest. But if it's not then Andy Van Slyke is still pissed off. Whatever happened to John Stupor and his promising four year career? Raise your hand if you're not scared of the Cubs.
IS IT SAFE TO SAY:
*Tyler Hansbrough can hack it in the ACC?
*Ron Artest is right where we expected him to be?
*Mizzou, SLU, and the MoState Golden Bears will all be in the NIT final four?
*Jeff Smoker is at Mike Shannon's bar right now? Or is that place too high class?
Quick: Mr.Holland's Opus or a SEMO Redhawk Golden Girl?
Steve Rosenbloom, ChicagoSports.com: “Kerry Wood and Mark Prior haven’t made a spring appearance in two years, and (Monday), Butch Casualty and the Sidelined Kid will make their debuts, thus marking the earliest that each could suffer season-ending injuries.”
Robert Jones, on his trouble-plagued nephew, Adam “Pacman” Jones: “Everybody tries to talk to him. I do. His mother talks to him, his grandparents talk to him . . . I don’t know, I just think he is out of control. I’ve told him I think he is out of damn control."
Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel: “Jake Plummer had a choice — either retire or get traded to the Bucs. It looks as if he will take retirement, and who can blame him? Among the other endeavors most pro quarterbacks would choose over playing quarterback in the Bucs’ pitiful offense: (1) Having a colonoscopy; (2) Eating raw liver and chasing it with a case of Schlitz; (3) Listening to two rotisserie-league baseball ‘owners’ talk about their upcoming draft.”
Scott Ostler, San Francisco Chronicle: “Randy Moss apparently is ready to give the Raiders 110 percent this year. Sounds about right. Divide 110 by 16 games and you get 6.9 percent per game.”
