Not really breaking news, but the Masters has started today. If Tiger manages to win this event after months off, and you're one of the other golfers...do you just withdraw from the rest of the events he's in for the year?
*I wrote short summary of Tiger's more than normal scrutiny at the beginning of my post at footbasket.com. Check it out if you are bored enough (should be up by the time this is sent out)*
Who's the guy yelling "Get in the hole!" on every shot tiger has??
Tiger is now walking around looking like a full fledged politician attempting to get re-elected. Wouldn't be surprised to see him kiss a baby in the audience at this point.
A couple weeks ago Ricky Martin announced he was gay...which is equivalent to me mentioning I'm a Saints fan. Can someone tell Ms. Williams to grab that mic and make her announcement while it's still warm?
Did anybody notice there was a sports organization that goes by "WNBA" that held a draft? I wonder if they actually held an event or just set up a yahoo account and did it fantasy football style.
*Commercial break*
Do any truck companies air regular commercials nowadays? You know, the type that show a truck hauling a lawnmower or just a boat. I really don't have a need for a truck that can haul the statue of liberty or withstand a whole building falling in it's bed. I'm just sayin!
Always hate to see a player get injured, especially at the end of the game....but I never expected to see this (video). I wasn't sure whether to give Kudos to coach for calming his player or leave the room so these 2 could be alone?
With McNabb going to the redskins, I'm surprised that I hadn't heard a single rumor of T.O. signing with them. With Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, and Clinton Portis at rb, that could be a formidable offense....if this was 2004.
Public service announcement, 4/5 of Kentucky's roster is leaving for the NBA. Calipari would like you to please have your blue chip high school recruit pick up the gym bag of money from Will Call. Thank you.
Britney Griner/UConn are reasons the women's NCAA drew me in for a few days. The following play(s) is a reason it pushed me back out....although you have to feel bad for her...
I just found this video to be hilarious...nothing more or less. Alas, if animals could speak english

March Madness? I'm Just Mad
Ok, perhaps I'm not really mad (other than I won't be cashing in on my bracket which now resembles that slipper your dog mistakenly thought was his chew toy), but I am fully entrenched in the madness that comes in march. The #1 seeds are dropping like the list of alleged steroid users Jose Canseco named. I personally think this can be indirectly attributed to the one and done rule that is in college basketball. The Butlers and Cornell's of the world get players with lower ceilings than the Kansas' and UNC's in college basketball but they also get the opportunity to coach a group of players for 3-4 years with a lot less roster turnover. Thus, you get a senior filled, fundamentally sound team versus a big name school filled with good athletes seeing if they can parlay their 1 mandatory year into a national championship. If not, the money from being a lottery pick will dry their tears. There are the occasional Michael Beasley's and OJ Mayo's that end up at non traditional schools for a year, but the usual route is a quick stop at Chapel Hill or Syracuse (what exactly does it take to become an "Orangeman" anyway?). With that said, I won't even waste time predicting a Final Four winner. I just hope it's anybody but Duke.
In the past 30 seconds I just heard Gus Johnson either have seizure or a spider ran up his leg....his excitement while announcing is unmatched. That was followed by his counterpart saying "Confused about a 2-3? Who ya gonna call? Jordan Crawford, Zone Buster". (Let's just leave the jokes to the pro's, ok guys?)
I just realized I'm watching a game in which I couldn't name you one player off either team yet it's one of the best games of the year. I can only imagine if they expand the tournament it will be similar to what happens when you play too many seasons in (insert sports game here) and you don't know any of the players on your roster because they are all computer generated names. Undecided if that's a good thing or not.
Here's a little march math for you....Xavier + K-State = Instant Classic
I couldn't help but think we'd see a shot of Braxton P. Hartnabrig during the Cornell/Kentucky game. (Jamie Foxx show reference for those of you with the :\ face)
I refused to believe Baylor's starting PG was named Tweety (well, until the broadcast team provided us with the background story). I immediately turned up my speakers to see if I would overhear "Tweet...tweet...TWEETY, I'm open!"
Have we figured out why Chism wears his headband around the back of his head? I can't imagine it's stopping any sort of sweat as it's intended to
Quick shout out to Footbasket.com I'll be posting for them here and there. They have quite a collection of blogs on the website so check it out. I will of course continue my idiotic ramblings here.
Happy Early Easter

The Truth and Only That
Marion Jones playing in the WNBA....I don't know if it makes me want to watch my first WNBA game ever, or completely disregard them as a pro sport altogether. The coach stated "Well, I know she can run, and we'll need that". I'll be sure to keep my eyes glued for the relay race that might break out between the free throw lines.
If I was a golfer I'd have champagne and caviar waiting on Tiger at the Masters. I'm not even sure golf has been on tv that past 5 months. As the old saying goes, it's better to finish in the top 10 in a tournament that Tiger plays in as opposed to win a tournament that he's not going to be in....financially speaking.
Its strange to see the men's basketball teams of North Carolina, UCLA and UCONN in the NIT tourney (aka the Not Invited Tournament). But there is a 3rd tournament...something called a CBI Tournament which is kinda like not even getting invited to the "different kids" prom boycott party and saying, "screw it, video games at my house friday night" (ANY LIKENESS OR SIMILARITIES TO ACTUAL EVENTS, PEOPLE, PLACES, OR ENTITIES, AND ANY SUCH LIKENESS OR SIMILARITIES ARE UNINTENTIONAL AND PURELY COINCIDENTAL.)
As for the women's tournament. I have $100 on UCONN, you can take the field. Any takers?
I know i'm wrong for this...but the Skipper (coach) for the Texas Rangers was recently exposed for failing a drug test (they test the coaches???) last year. He said he only did cocaine that one time that caused him to fail the test. When I saw him addressing the issues....I figured there was no way this was breaking news or his first "line" in life

Untitled...really
What's good peeps? Just dropping by to pass along some thoughts and vids I've observed in the past week or so. I'm looking forward to march madness this year. I may see how many screens I can possibly have on a different game at one time in the same room during the tourney....well enough of my wet dreams.
You have to ask yourself, at what point did this fan realize he was in trouble?
One of the greatest college football players of all time, but at the same time, Tim Tebow is getting way too much press for an AT BEST 4th (of 7) round pick in the upcoming draft.
She plays somewhat like a man, voice somewhat resembles and adolescent man, but MAN what was she thinking throwing a haymaker in the game? (Maybe she knew something we didn't, a sucker punch only warrants a 2 game suspension...)
I remember being pissed at myself when I lost $100 on a deposit at an apartment after I changed my mind last minute. I almost fainted when I read the (New) New Jersey Nets owner lost $53 million dollars on a deposit after changing his mind about a house (and he was NOT pissed btw).
Am I the only one who thinks it's about time someone do an investigation on these commercials and new product advertisements. I always here "Now with [insert large or rare word here]" and somehow it makes it seem better. I mean, have we REALLY figured out what Techron is yet???
Every year, NFL network host Rich Eisen runs the 40 in his suit. This video for some reason has me rofl EVERY time I watch it and the subsequent breakdown afterwards.
