Random NFL/NBA Thoughts

Since I haven’t said anything about football or an NBA preview I’ll just combine the two into one episode with just random observations.

My favorite part about this NBA season so far has been the whole “The Pistons traded for Iverson, and will have cap room to go after Lebron.” Listen, I know that seems like a good idea, but let me put it this way: I have a better chance of taking a job in Utah than Lebron has of going to Detroit. That might be the only place that is worse than Cleveland (Ok, Milwaukee would be worse). Unless Lebron has dreams of using his salary to bail out GM and Ford and his dreams of being a Global Icon are to be the modern day Henry Ford, he will not be going to Detroit. So let’s just stop talking about how this is anything more than Detroit trying to make a change because their team has gotten stale and needed to be shaken up.
(Seriously, just read this article. Dude is learning Mandarin so he can sell in China. You’re telling me he can do that in Detroit? By the way, this was one of the best article’s I’ve read in awhile.

My favorite recent development has been the whole “Dallas might go with Brooks Bollinger as their QB” thing. Because I’ve been on the Brooks Bus, back in 2006, and it’s not fun. In fact, I’d rather have Otto driving me to school than Brooks.

Adrian Peterson is a bad, bad man. In case you didn’t know.

It’s always fun to turn your phone off on Sunday night and wake up to a text message simply saying, “Fuck Herm.” It’s reassuring that others are getting the full Herm Edwards Experience. Just remember, “You play to win the game.”
