Welcome, sports fans, to the first edition of The Monday Morning Quarterback, where we examine the week in sports with the skepticism and scathing wit it so richly deserves.
Let's start with our friends in NASCAR, who proved once again that Californians cannot drive in the rain. Yesterday's race is scheduled to be completed starting at 10:00 this morning. Luckily attendance should be roughly the same, as most car racing fans do not have jobs.
I'M KIDDING!!! Don't send me angry PM's. Racing fans are the salt of the Earth. We love ya.
In the NBA, the Shaq-led Suns go down in flames again, while the Lakers continue the Gasol-fueled drive to the top of the West. Seriously, how great does this trade look? The Lakers have won 8 straight, and have finished a 13 game road stretch 11-2 to take over first place.
Over in the NFL, Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie was arrested for aggravated battery after a street brawl outside a nightclub early Sunday. Apparently, he became angry while standing in front of the snack table, as he couldn't stop anyone from getting past him. Once the cocktail waitress flagged him for holding, it was on.
Turning to baseball, the preseason schedule starts in one month. Teams have been advised to get their steroid and HGH orders in early this year. Meanwhile, K-Rod lost his arbitration fight with The Angels. He will have to struggle along heroically on only 10 Million Dollars a year. Someone nominate this guy for Sainthood!
In hockey, the trade deadline is tomorrow. Who will make the right moves? I have no idea. It is good to see traditional hockey spots like Dallas and Carolina doing well, though....
Until next time, be a good sport, and save some buffalo wings for me.
:thumbsup:
