UF 84 OSU 75
(Big sigh) I didn’t think Florida was as good in this tournament as it was last year, but ultimately it doesn’t matter one bit. Florida’s most valuable player was everyone that hit a shot outside the paint. Greg Oden was a man playing with boys; however, other than his fellow freshman point guard, he was the only one that showed up. He put OSU on his back and…
Florida is up on Ohio State by eleven. I kid you not, Greg Oden is a basketball stud. Florida has no inside game with Oden in the game, which will be a problem in the second half if the Florida shooters cool off… and they may if they start to get tired… and Cory Brewer is playing a lot of minutes. So is Oden, but the difference is tired legs don’t affect dunks as much as outside…
On this, the opening day of baseball season (for the Rays anyway), talk of hope, expectation, and payroll makes the rounds. Once again, many are questioning the spending habits of Rays’ ownership – particularly in light of the revenue sharing money ($35 million?) coming in, and the Rays’ payroll ($25-26 million?).
Here’s the thing (that occured to me only just now): when…
I just love Orrin Hatch. For those of you not in the know, Mr. Hatch is a U.S. Senator from the state of Utah. On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Mr. Hatch angrily defended the Bush administration and the Justice Department proclaiming, “there’s not a shred of evidence suggesting an ongoing investigation was interfered with… they’re (the Democrats) creating a tempest in a…
There was a time, not so long ago, when I thought Jorge was going to be a part of the glory Rays. Now it looks like he’s destined to play for someone else. I’m forced to face the fact that he wasn’t going to be the guy at second base for the Rays. When BJ Upton beats you out because his defense is BETTER, you know you’ve got a problem.
I understand it came down to a choice…
Oh how I wish I could find the source! I’ve been googling like a man posessed by the spirit of Pytheas, seaching in vain for a little thing called “documented proof.”
Ah, but I’ve only just started this entry and already I’ve digressed twice (by hyperlink). What on Earth was I looking for? I heard on the radio a few days ago that some kind of poll was taken, and it…
From the Washington Post:
“… the assumption that the United States could create a liberal, constitutional democracy in Iraq defies just about everything known by professional students of the topic. Of the more than 40 democracies created since World War II, fewer than 10 can be considered truly “constitutional” — meaning that their domestic order is protected by a…
My last post not withstanding, the U.S. Attorney scandal is not about broken laws. It’s not about the executive branch of government exercising power it does not have. For me, it’s about abuse of power. This is the reason this scandal has an air of Watergate about it.
Conservative bloggers are mostly correct on at least one point: there are no smoking guns. There are no emails, no…
I think the main reason I make a lousy southerner is my pure hatred for fishing. The only worse sin MIGHT be indifference to NASCAR – but auto racing is not my metaphor du jour.
What good reason is there for fishing anyway? You sit there for hours casting a line in the water and reeling it back in – like some kind of failed stimulus-response experiment. Hell, even mice stop pressing…
