That word echoed through the halls of Cobo Arena in Detroit back on January 6th, 1994 when Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the knee during the Olympic Skating Trials. As a sports fan right now every time I see a supposed "sports" outlet lead with Michael Vick getting released from prison. When the story broke of his involvement in this awful crime through his conviction, it was understandable because he was a player in the NFL. This just in, the scumbag hasn't played in an NFL game since the Falcons lost their 2006 regular season finale at Philly. I don't understand why this piece of garbage is being jammed down the throat of sports fans?
Was anyone as stunned as me that LeBron James was actually out of gas late in their game 1 loss to Orlando to get the East Finals off and rolling? Either way, I gained a huge measure of respect for that Magic team. Cleveland exploded from the gate and blew out to a 16 point lead and it looked like the Cavs would again have their way as they'd done in every game of the 1st two rounds of this post season. TNT had a mike in the huddle during the 4th quarter and the words of Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy proved prophetic. He mentioned how the Cavaliers had not been through this, meaning a crunch time situation in the playoffs, while the Magic had been down this road frequently. Well done and obviously we have a series. Yours truly figured this thing wouldn't last past 5 games.
Former Oregon State stud Jacoby Ellsbury is now etched in stone as the centerfielder for the Boston Red Sox. Last night in their romp over Toronto he tied a major league record for a 9 inning game with 12 putouts in the outfield. Ellsbury made his big league debut on June 30th, 2007 and played a key role in the Bosox ride to the World Series title. This is his 2nd full year as the starter in center. The young fella from Madras has yet to make an error over the course of his 225 games including the playoffs. Heck of a player.
