The LeBrons of Cleveland Blow It Again

The Cavs lost game 7 to the Celtics today. LeBron showed up, put up about 40 points, but threw up a miserable layup try with about 20 seconds to go to seal the deal for the Celtics. Their offensive strategy of everybody standing and hope LeBron has a good game is only going to take them so far. About this far.

Whatever. It's just another Cleveland sports team getting close, but not nearly close enough. I'm actually pretty happy, now I don't have to suffer watching anymore NBA this year. Watching them stand, shoot and miss, and complain after every single fucking play no matter what happens is just painful to watch. I saw more complaining after foul calls in the last 3 games than I think I have seen in the last 10 years of college ball. It's just painful to watch.

And what warrants an "Intentional Foul"??? I saw PJ Brown put his arms around guys more times than you'd see on North Halsted. How the league warrants that not being 2 shots and the ball is WAYYY beyond my brain capacity. All it does is slow the game down to a snail's pace and make it that much more unwatchable.

Not to mention the Boston crowd screaming bullshit after every single call just got old. I'm pretty happy my 6 year old wasn't watching, let alone being at the game! I'm so tired of Boston and their fans.

Enough about that. More good news out of Cleveland. The Reds completed a sweep of the Indians today. Looks like Hafner is more of a mental case than we thought. He only got 2 plate appearances, an RBI base hit on Friday and a walk today. We really need him to get back into the groove. I see that he's raised the average up to .228, but he needs to hit at least .300 the rest of the way to help this team. The pitching has been solid, other than the 3 run jack Kobaishi gave up to Dunn in the 9th on Satruday. The starting pitching has been lights out. We have got to get some hitting!!

And Bill Belichick is still denying any wrong doing in the whole spygate thing. I honestly can't wait for this whole thing to disappear. Apparently now he is saying that he stretched the rules to make it alright to videotape the opposite sideline looking to pick off signs. What a dirtbag.

What a Wonderful Sports Weekend It Was!!

I don't even know where to start??? The Boilers win another one against Illinois, IU loses it's 2nd straight, Michigan State loses, the Patriots lose the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion.... Oh man! What a weekend!

I guess the IU loss was on Thursday, so we'll start there. It may just be me, but there is just something just really satisfying about watching IU lose basketball games. Although they tried to make a run midway through the 2nd, it was to no avail as they lost their 2nd straight 62-49. After White and Gordon, their next highest scorer had 4. You have to see that as a problem IU fans.

Next on the list was the Purdue victory. Can you say E'Tuan Moore??? You should probably learn how to say it, because the last couple of weeks he has been playing some fantastic basketball. 10-12 from the floor, 24 points. After Moore it was Crump and Green adding to the scoring. It's always somebody different with this team! They're really exciting to watch!!

MSU loss. That puts Purdue up top of the Big 10 standings with Wisconsin. Yes, The Purdue Boilermakers are in a first place tie in the Big 10 race. This is the sort of thing you predicted in November only after about 14 Millers. Nobody predicted this. Nobody!

And finally, The Greatest Team In The History Of the Entire World Ever, lost! It doesn't get much more satisfying than seeing that f'n dirtbag Bill Belichick running off the field before it's even over. Remember when Randy Mosss did that?? He was crucified for leaving early. Why has this not happened to Belichick???? This is the head coach we are talking about leaving before the game is finished. Lose with dignity, dirtbag.

Eli Manning played an amazing game. He didn't make horible mistakes he did so often in the regular season. Receivers made plays. And the defense did an amazing job. I kept waiting for the Pats to just take over the game, but it never happened. I kept waiting for Brady to make a great pass and find an open Randy Moss for at big TD, but it happened too late. I kept waiting for Eli Manning to throw an interception in their final series, but it never happened. Simply an amazing Superbowl performance by the biggest of underdogs.

Hopefully Boston fans will keep their mouths closed for a while.

But now the bad news. Football is over until August.

And now the good news. Pitchers and Catchers report in 10 days!
