Lebron to Miami

Are you surprised?  Don't be.  Clevend you are better off with out him in your town.  "The King" with no title.  Now he is going to a place to win a title.  Will he win one with Miami?  If you had a choice to take the last second shot who would it be, Lebron or Wade or even Bosh?  My pick is Wade.  Is Lebron a good basketball player, I say yes.  I will not say he is not a good basketball player.  I will not say it's a bad business move for him to leave Clevend but I think it's a bad move.  Will he win in Miami?  Only time will tell.  If he doesn't win the first year I would like to see the downfall.  Lebron's fans always said he needed more around him to win a Championship.  If this is not enough to win a Championship, what is good enough?  I remember when the Browns left Clevend, that was bad but this might be worse.  Are you the "King"?  Only time will tell.  Let's see how you handle going back to Clevend.  

The most ever hyped basketball player I have remembered that has not won.  I only have one question for the NBA.  You are not allowed to talk to players if they are under contract if you are a coach or owner.  What happens if you are a player?  We all know that Lebron, Wade and Bosh are friends.  If you were talking to each other and telling each other lets go to Miami is that legal?  Just wondering..... 

Instant Replay

It helped the Flyers last night, but a baseball player loses a perfect game because there is not replay in their game. 

First of all, I don't want instant replay in baseball.  It will open a can of worms that I don't want that can open.  Was the call wrong?  If you look at that call in slow mo, you will say that the ump got it wrong.  I feel bad for that ump and the pitcher, but look at that play again in normal speed and look at the ball in the glove.  The ball moves from the top of the glove to the bottom of the glove.  Some would say that is a bobble and that could be correct call by the umpire.  I have been in games that were big to me and I have had umpires come up to me and say they blew the call.  They did not see a replay.  They did not have cameras all around them and thousands of people looking on the internet and saying that is a horrible call.  This is one play out thousands of plays.  Look at the second base umpire he had a good look at the play he could have overruled that call.  No instant replay.  No instant replay.  No instant replay.  Again, I feel bad for both parties, but I enjoy the game and that will not change.

Tasered

A fan was tasered at a Phillies game.  What would have happened if a player tried to stop him and twisted his knee and would have been out for the year.  What happens if the security guard or policeman went to stop him and tore his knee and could not work?  Could not support his family when he has to work his second job.... Ok I am not sure what the cop or security guard does for a living but DON'T FEEL BAD for the idiot that ran out on the baseball field and got tasered.  I know that is harsh but in my opinion I think he was totally wrong for running out on the field and if tasering brings him down without any injury to anyone else, I am ok with it.  He did not only make one loop.  He did not streak naked along the field.  He did not run out on the field and try to give a kiss to a player with a tight shirt and Double D's. {I think her name was Morgana}  The sad part is, that back in the day these things were funny.  Today they are not because we have had some problems from fans running out on a court or a field.  I do not want to bring attention to the ones that did it because they already got their 15 minutes and they did not even deserve that.  The kid was wrong, and I hope he realizes he was.  The taser made him stop without any injury to a player or security.  FYI.... We all know not to run out on the field.....Lesson learned for him I hope...

The Best time of the Year

The beginning of Baseball.  The Finals for March Madness.  Trade talks for football.  Where to begin.  I could talk about Tiger, but that is to easy.  Let's just see how he plays.  Let's get the first tournament over and done with.  Let's let the media ask all the questions and get it over with.  Tiger is a person that cheated and let him get that straightened out in his own life.  I feel for his kids and his wife in all of this. 

Donovan to the Redskins.  Really?  The jokes and the laughter could not be any better.  Good luck with that.  That's telling me you don't think he really matters anymore.  You are not afraid of anything he can do to you.  You are going to rely on Kolb to take you there.  You thought Aaron Rodgers had it rough.  Wait til Kolb loses against the division rivals.  The only one you can blame is Andy and the ownership.  They will tell you it's a rebuilding year.  If they win, they will tell you it was Donovan that kept them down.  Either way it plays out it will be drama.  I have only a little from the fans, but it is interesting.  They thought it was time to get rid of Donovan.  The Eagles just wanted to get rid of the money they owed him.  They saved 11 million by doing this deal.  I hope you get your money back if they finish last in the division.  It's a business, just remember that. 

Duke vs Butler.  Never saw that coming.  I do want to see how Butler matches up with Duke.  I think everyone expects Duke to win, but how big would it be if Butler does.  Not really sure it will be the biggest win in March Madness, but it would be up there. 

Did you know that Basketball and Hockey are still playing?  Are you watching?  I take a break from the end of the Superbowl until now because there is nothing to talk about.  Too many teams make the playoffs in hockey and basketball to really make the end of the season really worth to watch the season.

I am back and I want to see how this week starts to unfold. 

The Media and Me

Am I a part of the media now?  Some might think so, but that is far from the truth.  We have some issues that I really have to make clear.  Tim Tebow, Brett Favre, Tiger Woods and that is not the only things that bother me. 

Tim Tebow.  He cried in a game.  Why do we have to rip him for that?  He is a football player, and that means he can not cry?  Have you ever put all you got into something and emotions just run out of you?  Oh wait, I guess not.  If you had, you would not be making fun of someone if you had.  Tim gave everything he could to win that game, and they came up short.  Does that make him a lesser man now?  You have to be kidding me.  He is real and if I was a college coach I would take any player that gave that much.  FYI, the people that make fun of players like that, need to grow up.  He gave up an interception that was in the end zone, and people want to rip him for that.  Ok, if you want to say that he should not have done that, I might understand that.  I would say that he is not the only one in history that has done that, and he will not be the last.  Give it up to Alabama for playing their game.  They deserved the win.  We also have to remember these are young men, not truly adults.  Can you imagine the pressure they have to deal with in front of millions of fans.  Have you ever played in front of 100,000 people?  They are just kids.  We need to remember that. 

Brett Favre.  People are just waiting to see him fail.  This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen.  Brett retired and came back, retired and came back, that is all I ever hear.  Have you ever been offered 25 million dollars not to come to work?  If you have, please tell me, because I want your job.  Brett was offered 25 million by the Packers just to stay home.  Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Aaron Rodgers.  I think we all need to look at Brett and say I wish I could be 40 years and still doing something that I love.  You can look at it the way you like but understand this, Brett did not want to retire.  Watch his speech again, "If I have to make a decision right now, I choose to retire."  I don't want to bring up old news, but stop waiting for someone to fail and embrace someone that loves doing what he does.  For all of you media guys that are trying to put him down, you are the same ones that put him there.  He is a player that wants to keep on playing and that is the way I see it.  The Packers wanted to go younger and that is how I see it.  I only wish he did not go to the Jets, but his hands were tied, by the Packers.

Tiger Woods.  Is there anything else that needs to be said?  This is just the beginning.  There will be more woman that come out.  This thing will not disappear anytime soon.  Do you know how many people have cheated on their spouse this year?  Tiger needs to take a look at himself and wonder who he is.  Look at some of the people Tiger has hung out with in his past.  Are you really surprised?  He is great at his sport and no one can deny that, but don't think that makes him a great person. 

Today when you look at this article take a look at yourself and your life.  That is what should be important to you. 

Long Time Gone

It has been awhile and a lot has happened.  What should I start with? Maybe you can help me?  If you want to know what I think about something send me a message on the comment page, and I will reply. 

Make it Easy For A Fan

Baseball

Factors:  The Ball, The Bat, The Glove, The Fields, and The Players.

The balls have changed, the bats have changed, the gloves have changed, the fields have changed, and the players have not......

Every player will do what most of the other players are doing to get an edge over the competition.  Do you think that people did not try to cork their bat when other players were getting away with it?  Do you think that people did not "Doctor" the ball when Gaylord Perry did it?  Do you think that teams did not follow the leaders on "greenies"?  The players have not changed?  Yes, they are taking the "new thing" these days, and tomorrow they will take something else.  To all the reporters that have a Hall of Fame vote, you are a joke.  Yes, I said it, you are a joke.  You knew something was going on, and if you did not, you are more of joke.  All these sports reporters are now going on and saying this guy should be punished and we will not let him in the Hall of Fame, get over yourself.  I did not have "Sexual Relations" with that girl.  "I am not a Crook", "I did not do steriods", wake up people you are surrounded by lies.  I bet a Hall of Fame voter is saying one right now.  Maybe it's telling his wife that he worked late last night, or that he only had one drink officier, or maybe he never took anything when he played. 

Players are funny people.  I know there are some players that are clean, but are they really clean?  They knew something was up, and they kept it quiet.  They knew that their teammate was on something, but when you are winning it's hard to "rat out" your teammate that is hitting .350 and driving in 100 and above runs.  You have no idea what it is to be them, but I am giving you a glimpse.  Clean and dirty players want to win, and that is true.  They did not have any dirty players before 2004, because there was no testing.  "READ MY LIPS" sound familiar, they only starting testing after 2004.  Everyone is now on the same page, or are they.  Hello, players union, you need to come out of the closet and show you are one union.  Testing needs to be done and it needs to be random, and by someone that has no ties to baseball.  If not, you are just as dirty.  I love baseball and I always will, but this needs to be done for baseball.  To all you Hall of Fame voters, Stop Lying to Yourself  you know you are not perfect either.  I know you know that Mark McGuire was not the only one in the past.  You know players are players.  McGuire deserves to be in the Hall, and if he does not get in, you guys need to be investigated.  Is this the steriod era, it is, was the 70's the greenie era, yes it was, was the 20's something else, yes it was.  Make rules and follow them, get off your high horse, and stop cheating on your wife, that was a joke.  Start the season. 

University in Starting Now!!!!!!!!!!!

December 1, 2007

For years we have done this site and I have joked around about it, but now it is time to get an education.  I know sometimes I think I might need an lesson on writing and might even need some spelling lessons but that is not what I am talking about.  This site will be a hook up with fansdontknow.com and we will have our own identity at the same time.  Some things might even be a little more to the point.  The lessons will be for all, we might even throw in some Hockey on this site, and maybe even some Soccer?  We are just going to write about anything.  Some times we all need to learn something new.  Maybe even a new way of seeing something or new look at life and sports together.
