Pro sports suck.
Buncha whiny millionaires with Hummers.
OK, with that out of the way, I just want to remark on George Karl, former coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, and Seattle Sonics, named coach of the Denver Nuggets January 27th.
The Nugs were 17-25 on that date. Since then, they are 23-6, having only lost on the road, or to Phoenix (twice)- the best team in the league.
No player changes, in fact, several injuries in that time.
So, who wants a piece of George’s team in the playoffs? Right now they would be matched up with San Antonio in the first round. Guess who they crushed last night?
Anyway – since this is a Love Shack blog, for relaxing, there you go.
(By the way, spellcheck does not recognize “blog” Ha!)
Tip Jar.
they suck. Period. I’m sick of them. I don’t watch anymore. I’ve been an athlete my whole life. I love sports. But hate pro-sports.
And its not because of the Buncha whiny millionaires with Hummers. Its because of the people who sign their checks. I don’t think anybody should make that much money, but the owners of these teams want to regulate the players. Yet they hate Gov’t regulation. No multi-millionaire promotes regulation. Unless they can do it to someone else. And its hypocritical. IF YOU PLAY BY MARKET RULES, THEN YES A-ROD IS WORTH THAT $170 MILLION or whatever it was. Pay him, and the rest, and shut the hell up. Unless… you agree to have your wealthy butt regulated too. Then we can talk. No caps or nothing. indoor voices and all.
Whoa, tell us what you really think, Tirge. 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
Good, it’s not just me.
I’m having trouble getting enthusiastic about the upcoming baseball season. Maybe it’s just because it’s been an overall shitty year in my personal life, or maybe it’s just the overblown talk about steroids and “cheaters” that’s getting me down. (Hey, Babe Ruth never faced a black pitcher; where’s his asterisk?)
I’m sure that after about a week or two into the season, I’ll have the radio tuned to the Giants, and I’ll be debating the spouse over the merits of Pedro Feliz vs. Eduardo Alfonso…but for now, I couldn’t really care less.
Oh, and glad to see Karl’s doing well; it’s the ex-Warrior factor at work. (But I’m even happier to see the Lakers suck…even though my new nephew-in-law is a Laker fan…)
Oh, yeah… Lakers 1-9 in the last 10, they’ve given up trying to catch Minnesota. Heh!
The innocent distraction feature of pro sports has gotten less innocent, so when world problems flare up, (more like when they are not flared down – up is normal now) it just seems so…irrelevant.
Nostalgia creeps in…
