I'm Reminded That....

Hope everybody had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. Hat's off to all those who have served, fallen while serving and currently serving. Special salute to the only Sarge I ever had to take orders from.

I don't know if it's deja vu or what but over the last couple weeks everything I see either reminds me of something I've seen before or friends of mine open my eyes to some similarities. It was pointed out that Channing Frye looks like the black Sam Bradford...or maybe Sam looks like the white Channing?


No sooner than I could get a side by side comparison, it was noted that Channing's coach Alvin Gentry is really a south park character


Unfortunately (for them), the Suns couldn't get past the Lakers in part to Ron Artest going from goat to hero in about 20 seconds which conjured up a previous Lakers game winning shot/celebration


I know it's not 1997 anymore but I couldn't help but smile when I saw Dwight go WCW during the game


Here's proof that winning the game for your team does not clear you of impending injury.

In Morales' case (the baseball player), he at least won the game for his team while Gramatica's (#7) injury was after a made field goal in the first quarter. Morales (broken leg, possibly out for season) and Gramatica (torn acl) are prime examples of why you must stay grounded in times of jubilation.

I had to include an animal video...this actually doesn't remind me of anything (other than the fact of why I "respect" nature)

I Only Know What I Know

Happy Tuesday (or whatever day of the week you read this). Hopefully Mother's Day and Cinco De Mayo (I'm guessing 90% of people don't know why that's celebrated) was enjoyable for you. The past couple of weeks I'm come to the realization of a few things:

-Lebron James is ready to win a championship. His teammates, however, are incapable of helping him accomplish that. For the record, I picked the Magic at the start of the playoffs to win it all (you just have to trust me on this). Other than Lebron, there's not one starter on Cleveland I'd take over the Magic starters. I'd actually take Orlando's 6th and 7th man over some of the Cav's starters....this may be a moot point as they still have to get by Boston.

-Usually when I see a "Beware of Dog" or "Trespassers will be Prosecuted" sign...I don't take it as a faux warning. Disregarding that may result in

I still can't get enough of seeing the video either


-The head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton, and an assistant coach are involved in a felonious scandal involving vicodin. Somehow, I overlooked the severity of the alleged crime since my only knowledge of this drug comes from watching House.

-A great way to get the casual channel surfer to stop doing so during a game is to continue looping replays of these guys.


-If I ever got left hanging like this I'd probably not come back out to watch the 2nd half. (Referring to the gentleman in the sport coat coming off the bench)


-We are exactly 30 days away from the World Cup 2010

Taking a page out of another blog (shout out to indulgenceiskey), I was asked what a salary cap is by a few folk for whatever reason. The short answer is the maximum amount of money that a team can spend on it's players salaries for a given year. Going over it (depending on the sport) can result in fines, canceled contracts, and loss of draft picks. It prevents say a Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks billionaire owner) from fielding a fantasy team...or at least that's the idea, partially.
