Over Thankgiving week with no phone or internet.

All of this happened.
  1. NBA lockout ended
  2. Iron Bowl
  3. Orangemen basketball  ass. coach Fine was fired when a tape that ESPN had for YEARS was finally released.
  4. Larry Porter football coach of Memphis 
  5. Daniel Byran cashed in Money in the Bank & had the decision reversed.
  6. Urban Meyer is new coach at OSU
  7. Watched a Power Rangers episode, it was the worse teamup episode ever. Disney needs to buy Power Rangers back if Saben is going to pull that stuff.
  8. Thundercats episode
  9. Turner Gill also fired
Sigh! Still a good Thanksgiving just wished I could tweet about it.

Most overrated victories in sports

4. The Milan miracle, Great story which inspired the movie Hoosiers. Which was highly inaccurate. Milan had been a in the state semifinals the year before.


3. US Women's soccer team wins World Cup. This was suppose to be the beginning of the rise of both men & women's soccer. While there was some increase in interest the women's pro league failed. Truth is people remember this because of Brandi Chastain.

2. Soviet Union beats US in 72 basketball gold medal game. The refs screwed up & none of them would sign the official scoring sheet. A official broken the rules & added time on the clock.

1. Miracle on Ice US beats Soviets in 1980 ice hockey. It was a fluke. US would remain bad until the pros started playing on the team. Older Americans act like this was some great win in the Cold War. IT WAS HOCKEY! The fact that this is consider as a major event shows how bad the 70s were for the US.

Happy Thanksgiving MWM

Punk wins again!!!

Coming next month the LAMMYS awards for worst in wrestling.

My message to the Buss family & Laker organization

Dear Dr. Buss:

  I am a long time fan of your team and organization. I am writing to ask you to withdraw from the NBA. The reason I am asking you to do this is because of the latest NBA proposal from the owners to the players. This is a attempt to help small market teams while hurting large market teams. The rules that are designed to punish tax paying teams. As I am sure you know, you are usually a tax paying team. But it is not just the rules, its the concept behind them. The NBA small market owners want to level the playing field at your expense and that's not fair.

  The Laker organization is older than the NBA. In fact it's arrival helped legitimize the NBA. George Mikan, a Laker star was the first NBA superstar. The Minneapolis Lakers were the league's first dynasty in the late 40s & early 50s. The organization then expanded the league's brand by moving LA. In the 60s the Lakers had a rivalry with the Boston Celtics which continues to this day. This rivalry was one of the main reasons why that the NBA became a major league. Laker excellence continues into the early 70s when the Lakers won there first title in LA. The Laker organization would then come back & dominate the 80s winning 5 titles & beating the Celtics 2 out of 3 time. The Lakers even won back to back titles in the 86-87 & 87-88 seasons. All while this happened the league grew & the many of the small market owners made money off what the Lakers did. Moving to the 00s and another Laker dynasty. The Lakers are 16 have NBA titles & 31 finals appearance, and yet the small marker owners whose teams only exist because what you & the other big market owners did, say that they want a level playing field. I say it is time for the Lakers & hopefully the other big market owners to leave. Why stay with in a league that bites the hand that fed them.

Dear NBA

  Dear NBA:

 Here is your new business model. Three leagues, the NBA the A league, the CBA which would be the B league & the ABL the C league. You would also keep the NBDL or D league as a minor league.

Each league would have about 10-12 teams NBA would be for large market teams with no salary cap. The CBA would a have a soft cap. The ABL would have a hard cap. Each league would have a postseason. The player contracts would be different in each league. In the NBA they would be fully guaranteed. In the CBA only partly guaranteed. In the ABL they would not be at all. Players would have the freedom if they are not under contract to change leagues.

 Or U COULD JUST CUT A SANE DEAL BUT I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THAT ALREADY!
