In basketball terms, New York City is a place whose grasp exceeds its reach. Really it is the Babel of the basketball world and Madison Square Garden, though the self proclaimed “mecca of basketball”, is its Tower. New Yorkers think they own basketball in much the same way people from Indiana though. It’s completely out of hand, in a NY Basketball fan’s mind, players like Lebron James and Chris Paul cannot wait to forgo millions of dollars being thrown at them by upscale beach communities in Miami and Los Angeles to come play in NY. This is complete hogwash, and recent history has proven it.
Instead of the second coming of “Dollar” Bill Bradley or Walt “Clyde” Frazier, these fans are left to hope that a poorly constructed team of superstars can somehow how deliver them from grasp of the Pharoah (David Stern? No, I’m reaching…how about James Dolan? Yes, Cablevison/MSG/NY Knick Owner James Dolan, he’s terrible). Enter long time Hose favorite, Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy is the perfect fit for this collection of ball hogs and people who need someone else to create a shot for them. He’s no Steve Nash, He’s not even old Jason Kidd but belongs to NY and he’s awesome!
(1) How is it that Vernon Davis is the fastest player on his team (the 49ers)? That guy must weight 265 pounds. Doesn’t the team have a 180 pound wide receiver / kick returner / or scat back that can beat him in a footrace?
(2) How can Vince Wilfork have such a humungous belly and still run around the football field like that?
(3) Should Peyton Manning retire and become the new offensive coordinator of the NY Giants?
(4) Do reverse jinxes ever work?
(5) Was Jim Harbaugh ungracious in defeat yesterday?
You all know that I am a huge Everton fan (go Toffees!) and have been for nearly 18 years months. So nothing delighted me more this week than watching US Men’s National Team and Everton F.C . goal keeper Tim Howard bend in a one-hopper from 100 yards out.
Apparently, this is only the fourth time in English Premiere League history that a goalie has scored a goal (which seems hard to believe, but maybe they mean from his own box?). High-five, Timmy!
An extended Loose Balls this week as I somehow failed to watch any one football game front to back but managed to watch parts of 5, including one I attended live! MORE after the jump…
So, have you guys heard? The next great NFL quarterback in the history of forever is going to be Stanford 4th year Junior, Andrew Luck. Unless, of course, USC Junior Matt Barkley rides his unbelievable performance against Stanford the other night into top 5 status and becomes the second coming of Johnny Unitas. MORE after the jump…
This week, xTian was live from MetLife Stadium watching as the New York football Giants squared off against the Green Bay Packers 
The Bears were the best team in the NFL for like 35 minutes this week.
