February 6

I missed two days, sorry, I'll have to start setting aside some "blog-writing time". So looks like the Raiders found a new coach, I'm betting on him being around for 5 games, maybe 6. If you heard his interview you may have noticed him saying the Raiders will be a playoff team, and that the Raiders of old are back. I guess I missed the memo, did they go get new players or are they just the same? And can anyone name more than three guys on the team? Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Cable, but the Raiders are going no where but down, I'm predicting a solid 2 wins this season.

Now that football season is finally over, we can focus on more important things, oh wait, the pro bowl still airs on national television? I wonder why that is? I think the last thing anyone wants to see is more football. I'm sure the players don't want to play another game either. The season is over and this game means nothing; it's just a nice vacation to Hawaii for all of the elite players from this season. What would happen if the game wasn't in Hawaii I wonder. Well, we'll soon find out with the pro bowl being moved next year (supposedly) to the site where the Super Bowl will take place. Sure, next year it's in Miami, nothing wrong with that, but guess where it is the year after that. That's right, good old Indianapolis. This is a terrible idea, I'd rather the pro bowl just be done away with then see this game moved to Indy. What players want to take their family on a nice vacation to the middle of no where. I see that the NFL wants the game to seem relevant by moving it to the weekend before the super bowl, but let's face it, the game will never be relevant. There's no way to make it relevant. I guess if you give the winning conference's players a big time bonus check they'd actually care, but besides that, the pro bowl will never mean anything. I think it's unnecessary and it ought to be eradicated due to the fact that no one watches it and no one cares, especially the players.

Kobe Bryant dropped 61 at the garden on Tuesday night, with 3 assists and zero rebounds. Then on Wednesday, LeBron James one upped him by scoring a cool 52 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 11 assists. I've heard people say that Kobe's performance was more impressive, which I think is an outrageous thing to say. A 50 point triple double hasn't been recorded since Kareem did it in 1975, are you kidding me? LeBron's night was far better, not only did he score only 9 less points than Kobe, but he also had 10 more rebounds and 8 more assists. LeBron played a team centered game and he showed off his all around game, whereas Kobe only showed that he can put the ball through the hoop; 9 more points isn't that impressive. MJ scored 60 in the garden just last century, there hasn't been a 50 point triple double recorded anywhere in 35 years, now that is impressive, and anyone who says otherwise is a Lakers fan.
