nice call

So normally I wouldn't bitch about NFL time twice in a row, but...

After all the bullshit that Bills fans and players had to say about their trip to Toronto, are we to believe that it's our fault for their crappy play? Maybe the cold football fans from the Rogers Centre decided to throw the football with less than two minutes to play in a must win game. Watching an entire Bills game can be excruciating at times but this one seemed to be on the right track. The running game was relentless, and I like most viewers assumed they'd stick with what works. But these are the Buffalo Bills. No one in sports can lose like this team. I can't think of any other sports franchise that memories that are attached with losing. We should have known. I wonder how long Losman can blame things, before he realizes that it might be his shitty play.

The Yankees, Mets and Red Sox are back pretending that there's nothing wrong with the economy. "Taxpayer field" is apparently going to after every closer in the league to make up for last year, while the Yankees are looking to scoop up all the starters. Meanwhile the Red Sox (and their fans) believe that the New York teams are trying to BUY their wins, even though they're doing the same thing, through the Asian market. How can they not think that they are in the same boat. So jack ass who's been a fan since 2004 said the Sox have a good farm system, but forget that the pin stripes brought up Jeter, and Rivera.

The NBA is still a love fest. And for F*ck sakes can someone, somewhere involved with these teams shut up their players. These guys say shit that that would get most people fined for tampering, which is apparently something they don't call in the NBA. As well as travelling. JayZ said in a interview that he would be going after LeBron James in 2010. You can't say that? Lebron said there was going to be a party here(NY) in 2010. You can't say that either. If I represented McDonalds, I can't be sayin I might go work at Burger King. Or that we might buy it. I know for a fact that the NBA has classes about how to act, what to say, behavior in public, television interviews. I just don't think these guys go. Or they don't listen. It's easy to learn how to tune out the teacher when you had a full scholarship to Georgetown, and graduated, but no remembers ever seeing you in class. The culture of the NBA is fraudulent from the get go. Guys that are thugs are glad to be rich and playing ball. The guys that grew up middle class act like thugs. And the guys that went straight from high school to the show talk like those first 17 years will never be overcome, even now as multimillionaires. Piss off! High school sucked for everyone, especially for those of us that didn't have Nike commercials the next day.

The NBA is dying in the small markets. They badly need a star in a major media market, like NEw York. They won't stop talking about Lebron/New York until it happens in 2010. I would expect Bosh and Amare to also leave their teams for bigger markets.
