After 5 games, Mike Brown was fired from the Lakers, your top 2 replacements were Phil Jackson who would have had to implement his triangle offense, without the benefit of a training camp and with him supposedly, requesting certain road games off. The guy you hired Mike D'Antoni is a run and shoot kinda guy, with a team that doesn't have a bunch of shooters. In other words the Lakers panicked and instead of looking in the mirror and saying we need more pieces to this puzzle. Our starting backcourt is roughly 75 years old and our bench is subpar, simply put the Lakers are fucked!!!!
Hey Lakers?!!! Why not keep Bernie Bickerstaff, an accomplished coach, who by all accounts players like playing for, and he's been there since day one, so the transition period is easy breezy. If you were going to hire outside the organization, why not Jerry Sloan?!!! Tough, defensive minded coach, who excels at coaching the pick and roll offense, which plays to the Lakers strengths and keep miles off of Kobe's and Nash legs, look how many miles he got out of Stockton and Malone. Arrrggghh, why won't anyone listen to me?!!! Anyone got 500 million dollars I can borrow, so I can buy myself into a sport franchise cause I'm a saviour son!!! (That's a lot of exclamation points)
The Clippers is the best team in the West but I still remember John Paxson almost beating the shit out of their head coach, Vinny Del Negro, when he coached the Chicago Bulls and for that reason I'm not hopping on that Clipper train. The New York Knicks are the best team in the East, but at some point highly paid Amare Stoudamire is coming back and he will best serve the team as their 6th man, I don't think that will happen, and for that reason I'm not hopping on that Knick bandwagon
Miguel Cabrera won the MVP, with the 1st triple crown won in almost 40 years, how could he not? However Mike Trout, who played in a way tougher division, was a much better defender and his offense across the board matched up very well with Cabrera, was my choice, yes Cabrera's team made the playoffs and Trout's didn't, but the Angels had a better record. I'm just saying boo, congrats on a monster year Cabrera but Trout is the better player. (22 1st place votes to 6 is a minor travesty)
The Florida Marlins made some deft deals to get some quality young talent while shaving their payroll down by more than half. They may very well turnout to be the Tampa Bay Rays of the National League. That being said, they are the Amway of baseball, a scam, lure the city into paying for a new stadium and then trade off half their assets during the 1st half of the season and get rid of the other half at the end of the season. I said years ago that the Marlins should be retracted. They are all about dollars not winning. I hope no one goes to another Florida Marlin game again, there I said it and I feel good
Vegas Picks
I went 1-2 last week, but that Bears game should be incomplete, cause Jay Cutler got hurt and didn't play in the 2nd half , where he plays his best. Speaking of Cutler, when players intentionally lay somebody out like they did with Cutler, they should be automatically kicked out of that game and suspended for the following week. (Scott Fossum) Missing 1/17th of your paychecks will put a stop to headhunting and protect the league's greatest asset, the QB!!!
Packers-3 over Detroit
Ok the Packers are really good, it pains me to say it, but they are. So whenever they get a 3 point spread, I take them either way, Aaron Rodgers alone, is a TD better than any QB in the league except Manning(s), Brady, Brees. Last I looked Stafford is the QB of the Lions, I can't get on board with a sub-500 team against the Pack who is still in must win mode.
Packers 30 Lions 24
Jets + 3.5 over Rams
Hey, Tim Tebow is terrible, kudos to that anonymous Jet player for stating that in such a cowardice manner. It appears that Tebow is such an awful practice player that they can justify, not only starting Tebow, but changing there whole offensive game plan around someone who can't throw?!!! Starting Tebow is like handing a steering wheel to a blind person and believing you're gonna get home safely ... blind faith. I think this is gonna rally the Jets and make them lose by just a fg instead of 7 points
Rams 20 Jets 17
Tampa -1.5 over Carolina
Look take Tampa Bay until further notice, they are one of the 10 best teams in the NFL right now, trust me boo
Tampa 34 Panthers 24
Tampa/Carolina over 48
34 + 24 is 58! 58 is > than 48. > this means greater than!!!
Denver - 7.5 over San Diego
Ummm, the Chargers were at home and were spotted a 24-0 lead against the Broncos, they lost by more than 7. The Broncos are on full throttle as Peyton has something to prove. A Peyton Manning with something to prove should always be factored in when picking spreads. BTW the Norv Turner/ Philip Rivers combo is the worse team-up since Kim Kardashian/Kris humphries, does that drive home my point Denver 37 San Diego 14 Denver's Defense turning Rivers miscues into points 17. Yep Philip Rivers loses to himself by 3 points!!!
