Through the eyes of the Tribdog

Due to a recent knee injury I have alot of time on my hands. Actually, I always have alot of time on my hands. Here are some musings on the sports world recently:

Is there a Dwight Howard puppet to be revealed soon? Personally I would go with Hedo. My God is he ugly.

The Nuggets hot run came to a screetching halt much to my chagrin. Oh well, maybe next year they can manage less than 3 technical fouls per playoff game. Still love the Birdman though. Duh.

Why is Magic Johnson on TV? Other than to publicize Lamoron Odom?

How terrible is Big Papup? Good riddance. Here's to hoping he ends up with the 4 Home Runs that he's on pace to hit.

The Men's NCAA baseball tournament started this week. Does anyone care? Talk about an event that only gets TV time because of lack of sporting events worth a damn on TV around this time.

The Women's Softball College World Series started this week. See above.

The first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals will be back to back on Saturday and Sunday. Sucks for the players, coaches, trainers and seafood wholesalers in Detroit. Doesn't suck for the NHL and NBC however, primetime is what the sport has to have to promote this thing. Even if it is taxing for most involved.

Rachel Alexandra won't run in the Belmont Stakes. Shocker. In other news, this is the worst horse racing year in recent memory.

Calipari? In trouble? Nah, he wouldnt...

Derrick Rose may not be able to pass the SAT, but he sure can make Rondo look like crap.

It was nice knowing you, Blake Griffin.

Got to see pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg face two batters today (it was apparently important enough to interrupt Sportscenter). I noticed two things. Great fastball first of all. Secondly, great neck jerk when he watched the second batter launch one into the stratosphere. Buster Olney says that the Nationals know he gives up mad homers. Still beats the hell out of anyone they have now.

I feel like the throwback "Where Amazing Happens" commercials could have more variations. And how is Jordan's jumper versus Utah not one of them? Cmon.

Can't wait to see Game 6 of the Magic/Cavs series. If Cleveland loses, ESPN may shut down.

How come Jesus and Mickey Mouse don't get voted into the MLB All Star Game?

How long until they change the French Open to the Rafa Open?

Mad Love,
