My advice to the reader: if you're not a New York Yankees fan, don't even bother watching baseball this year, you will only be disappointed. A 27th World Series title is just inevitable.
So the Knicks' Latrell Sprewell gets fined $125,000 and is suspended one game for showing up late to the shoot-around. The Knicks are nuts for pulling that on their best player and the team fan-favorite. Allan Houston should be getting fined and suspended for basically being worthless since the '99 playoffs. I can't even go on about the Knicks, because tears are going to start flowing from my eyes.
Well, Charles Oakley's 17th season will come to an early end due to an injury he sustained recently. We can only hope that it doesn't mean the end of his career. His incredible work ethic would undoubtedly be missed, but most of all - not unlike Mike Tyson - he is a walking quote machine. My personal favorite of all time was Charles on young players in the NBA: "Guys come in and think it's easy now, pimpin' ain't easy, pimpin' ain't dead. The hoes are just scared." Thank you Charles.
If Jason Kidd doesn't win the NBA league MVP, it would be a pure travesty. He has turned the New Jersey Nets around completely, who have notoriously been one of the worst teams in the NBA for a long time. And on top of that the guy is a class act. Wait a second, scratch that, he is a wife-beater. Tim Duncan for MVP.
So Tops supermarket just got even cooler in my mind. They sell Bills tickets now! Now I can buy beer and Bills tickets there. Wow Tops, you're just too damn sweet.
If the Patriots don't trade Bledsoe, then they are complete buffoons. That would be one of the more asinine moves in history, sitting on his huge contract as he sits on the bench. Either way they are going nowhere next season. Along with the 2000 Giants, these Pats are up there as one of the biggest flukes ever. I wouldn't be surprised if they finished last in the AFC East.
What do you get when you cross two big low-lifes with crappy hair - Doug Flutie and Pat Riley? It's Barry Melrose! Gotta love the do.
The Rangers fired their coach Ron Low recently. No surprise here, as they failed to make the playoffs again, despite having the highest payroll in the NHL. I don't know what is going on over at MSG. Soon they are going to hire Whoopi Goldberg as a coach for one of the two teams. Did they do a movie about that already? Pray for someone's soul if my memory is correct, because that would mean that "Eddie" was a movie and not just a bad, bad nightmare.
Note to University at Indiana's sophomore Jared Jeffries: What do you think you are doing, making yourself eligible for the NBA draft? You have a frame like Shawn Bradley, who sucks, and you're nowhere even close to being as tall as he is. Bad idea.
I'm out like Mark Chmura's morals.
