Sports Potpourri
Time for some random thoughts pertaining to sports trades, talk and the events of the day. Ready? Go!
Terrell Owens Is An Eagle
It figures. He obviously didn’t want to be in Baltimore. It’s a good move for Philly. Gives them a deep threat that they need. I personally don’t believe they will go to the NFC Championship game again this year, but it’s a good move nonetheless. Honestly though, Owens would have been better off with the Ravens.
Cavalier’s Win Seventh Straight Game
The NBA’s Cav’s are about the hottest team in the league right now with their seventh straight win. This gives them great momentum heading into the playoffs. I’m really excited to see how far they’re able to go. Lebron James is getting MVP buzz, but that’s all it is...buzz. He’s not going to get the MVP. He will likely win Rookie of the Year honors, however. Although expect it to be a close race with Carmelo Anthony. He has made a huge addition to his team as well.
March Madness
The NCAA Basketball tournament begins today. There will be some great games. This time of year always provides some very exciting contests. A few picks? I’ve got Kentucky, Oklahoma St, Duke and UConn in the final four. But, I don’t know a whole lot about the invidual teams, so I’m probably going to end up looking like an idiot. Oh well. Won’t be the first time, or the last.
TV And Movie Talk
I feel like talking about a couple of my favorite shows and some movies I’ve seen recently. And ya know what? It’s my blog and I’ll do what I please!
The Shield
Starring Michael Chiklis as Det. Vic Mackey, the Shield is probably the most entertaining drama on the dial. It’s got blood, guts and corruption aplenty! If you like hardcore, gritty police shoes, look no further than the Shield. Tune in Tuesdays at 10pm on FX.
Secret Window
Secret Window is the new thriller starring Johnny Depp as a tortured writer who is accused of plagiarism by a freaky John Torturro. This movie is entertaining throughout, but nothing special really. You’ll enjoy the story, but maybe not the pacing. And it has its share of pleasantly cheesy lines such as, “I will burn your life and everyone in it...like a cane field in a high wind.” Still, it’s worth a few bucks for a mid-afternoon matinee. If for nothing else, check this one out to see Depp’s everlasting bad hair day. Two and a half stars.
Dickie Roberts
Dickie Roberts stars David Spade as a former child actor trying to reclaim his fame. It has plenty of laughs and Spade rarely disappoints in the smart-ass roles he was apparently born to play. Behind the comedy, though, is a serious moral pertaining to the things in life more important than worldwide fame and adulation. I’ll give it three stars. Check it out.
Alrite, that’s all for now. I’ll be back eventually...
