Consider myself on the bandwagon. The Tampa Bay Rays hold one of the best records in the Major Leagues, at 49-32. I can't even explain to you how their doing it, they simply just are. Either way, hopefully it's a sign of things to come in American League East; getting over the old song-and-dance that is the Red Sox/Yankees.
The Celtics, although it's old news now, won the NBA Championship. A six-game series, that really seemed shorter. Los Angeles, other than a few quarters in a couple of games, never looked like they even belonged there. But when you're facing the best defensive team in the league, I guess that is what happens. On a Radio Forum earlier this evening, hosted at NowLive.com, some of my friends and I spoke about the whole situation. The media blew this thing WAY out of proportion, especially with Kevin Garnett. If the Timberwolves completely revamped, and added Pierce and Allen to their team, would it have had this luster that we saw during the playoffs? No, because it's not just the Boston Celtics. Would seemingly everyone REALLY feel bad for KG and want him to win a ring for once? Some sure, but not the amount that seemed to jump on that the minute the trade happened.
Not sports related, but I feel the need to put this somewhere. I'm a server/bartender at a Sports Bar in Frisco, TX. People, if you go out to eat, read this. If you can not afford to AT LEAST tip 15%, don't come out to eat. Go to McDonalds, Sonic, or some other place that's got good prices with no one making a living off your 'service grade.' I shake bad tips off like Jim Brown did tackles, but for that minute afterwards, you won't meet a more pissed off guy. WE make a living off of serving YOU, the least you could do, is pay 15%.
A forty-four year drought was ended today when Spain defeated Germany for the 08 EuroCup. Vaguely, a size versus speed matchup; the match wasn't even really the exciting part. The Semi-Finals were the great games, at least offensively. Spain took what was handed to them, and that was the win at the price of the Germans. Congratulations to all my spanish readers, which I'm sure there are nada.
