Through the Eyes of the Tribdog. Installment #2



Here with more TTEOTT, my god what a terrible acronym. Anyway, I'm back with more thoughts and rants about the recent sports world for your reading pleasure.

The Pittsburgh Penguins took games 3 and 4 at home in Mellon Arena in the Stanley Cup Finals. That officially makes this year's Stanley Cup Finals the only thing to leave Detroit and actually come back.

Ichiro keeps hitting. Shocker.

Kobe and the Lakers looked unstoppable in Game One of the NBA Finals. Orlando looked like Seton Hall with pinstripes.

Has anyone ever wondered why the Magic subtly change their uniforms every year besides myself and Mr. Z?

I hate when people bash the Finals because Lebron and Kobe aren't playing one another. Who cares? We get to watch Pietrus and Ariza. Yikes.

Congratulations to Randy Johnson. Not only did he manage to get his 300th victory (it probably shouldn't count seeing as how it was against the NatInals), he also managed to not shove a cameraman out of the way in doing so.

The Red Sox are sending Big Papup to the eye doctor. Good luck with that. Maybe they'll help him see his toes.

Tony La Russa is suing Twitter over a fake page of his resemblance. I think baseball should sue La Russa for batting his pitchers 8th.

The last time the Browns had a competition at Quarterback, Derek Anderson lost. And Charlie Frye was traded after their first game. Something tells me Brady Quinn isn't too enthusiastic about this.

T.O can't find a house to rent in Buffalo. He also can't find humility in Buffalo.

On accent, human decency and intelligence alone, I think Larry the Cable Guy could drive in NASCAR.

In other news, I hate Larry the Cable Guy.

With a passion.

I love how no one thought someone like Robert Dozier would have an illegitimate SAT score.

Vince Young wants to be traded.

Vince Young does NOT want to be traded.

How embarrassing must it be to be a NFL Rookie of the Year and not be able to steal playing time from Kerry Collins? And what's even worse is not having it even suggested that you could. VY has fallen far. Miraculously, without fighting dogs.

Ric Bucher looks like Roger Goodell's kid brother.

The only thing better than watching Phil Jackson pretend to coach is watching Stan Van try really, really hard to get anyone to listen.

The little kid puppet in the Nike Kobe/Lebron commercials is nothing more than a rip-off of Spike Lee portraying Mars Blackmon in the classic Jordan commercials. The puppet also directed "Kobe Doin' Work". And named it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Bobby Cox isn't the guy who broke the news to Tom Glavine. Just a hunch.

Rex Ryan apparently isn't afraid of Bill Belichick. Who is? The guy is about 5'9 and doesn't even know how to dress himself.

I'll tell you one person Rex is afraid of.

His dad.

Last, but not least, I figured out all of sports most misleading stat.
Kobe's assist line.
