Until next time...

As much as I love to blog...i've been dragged away from my computer with the promise of a poker game. Sad, no? Later kids!

Down, but not out...

The two best teams in their respective sports that happen to be from MY city are currently BOTH losing...Celtics at the half down i think 5 or 6, and the B's just let up a goal to...Zivlicki?? That's a guess. Close. It was Zidlicky. I liked mine better.

ACCIDENTS!

The first one was with cars outside my house...the second one was the puck that a Bruin who's name I don't know just took to the face.

Mini-comeback.

Pruitt nails a three to put the C's close 32-31, and KG ends a threat at the other side as the C's go for the lead...RAY RAY for two and the C's are up. Meanwhile on CSI: Miami, Horatio has just stared at someone, then looked at the ground, then put his sunglasses on, then left the scene almost immediately. Compelling, and rich.

What if?

So what happens if there is a period of hockey with no penalties OR scoring?? Does the announcer just yap yap yap for twenty straight minutes and then his head explodes? Inside a minute in the period during the Bruins game. Meanwhile, the Bobcats...yes, the Bobcats and their apple-bottom jeans are up by SEVEN. Make that five as Ray Ray catches a goaltending call. Augustin almost nails a 3/4courter to make it eight. Quarter over in bball, period over in hockey, and I am totally disappointed. WHERE IS THE GMAC BOWL?!?!?!

Tight...

Anyone else feel like this game is a little close? A nice little joke from Gorman about how Juwan Howard is in his forties...and meanwhile Perk has already missed two free throws in this game and they are tied at 18. Back home, the B's are attempting to kill a Wild power play and have done so successfully. Meanwhile my hometown Flyers are LOSING TO THE CAPITALS. You know what, Washington Capitals?? You have THE WORST TEAM NICKNAME IN PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. Go suck a camel's dick.

Tonight's attendance....

There are more people in my apartment right now than there are watching the 12-22 Larry Brown-led Bobcats at home, as the C's trail early with Perk missing a free throw. Bout three minutes into the Bruins and no score at the Garden. Mich. State has just tied the Buckeyes, and the Bulldogs of Georgia are currently running over the Yellow Jackets 9-2 early. All these games seem to go on commercial at the same time. I think i'm going to stick with Celtics and Bruins. More coming up.

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech

Um, a quick note...Georgia vs. Georgia Tech...they are in different conferences but in the same state. Weird. Also, back to our friend Emeka...or should I say Chukwuemeka Ndubuisi Okafor...that's his full name. God bless you. Four games listed as starting at 7pm tonight, and here we are at about 7 past, and only Ohio State vs. Michigan State has actually begun...college ball, with MSU ranked 12th in allllll the land and Ohio State unranked. No idea if this game is gonna be any good. There's women's ball on too, but we'll check that out later.

Celtics v. Bobcats....


Let's get started with the Celtics about to tip off in Charlotte, and the Bruins about to...drop the rubber at home. Is that a viable hockey term? It should be. Did you know that Nelly is a part owner (as well as MJ) of the Bobcats? No word on whether Emeka Okafor will be wearing his boots with the fur for this game. PRO HOOPS SOON.

New Year.

Back at sports related in '09 and what's good? Phillies are World Champs, Celtics are looking strong (up until Christmas), about to be the end of bowl season...it can get better, but not by much. We'll follow the C's and B's tonight, GMAC Bowl with Tulsa vs. Ball State, lots of college basketball, and some other stuff too. That's only five hours away. How can you NOT read it?
