I read that Mo Williams of the Cavaliers has guaranteed a win in tonight's game 4 and in this series they trail against the Magic. Really? More than 40 years after the only guaranty that ever mattered cause it brought the phrase to our sports vernacular and these knuckleheads think it's the right approach. The amazing part is it was story #2 on the ESPN website. At this point in time any ballplayer like Williams, a 2nd or 3rd fiddle at best, makes a guarantee, it's like the chunky frat boy nobody really pays attention to until they get drunk and run through the sorority naked! Just a desperate, boring, old, pathetic attempt at grabbing some spotlight. Call me nuts, but rather than plopping down & running his yap to a reporter, wouldn't Mo be better served getting his butt out shooting until about :45 seconds before game time?
Run these numbers and let me know if you agree with my angle. During the regular season Williams hit 47% from the field and a super sweet 44% from three point land. In this, the most important series of his career, those numbers evaporate to 32 and 25 percent. He needs to just shut up and play a lot better or plan on making a tee time for this weekend.
These guarantees are up on there on the sports annoyance list with guys missing foul shots and getting slapped five by their teammates. How ridiculous is that? What do they do if he makes it, offer their wife and busty cousin up for a threesome?
We're off until Monday, but I'll be checking back in to keep connected.
