I hate April Fool's day. It's cheap. It's pathetic. It's desperate. We really need to try to convince someone that the aliens are invading or the Colts have traded Peyton Manning for Ryan Leaf? I put it on the same list of people who show up to birthday parties or present giving situations with gag gifts. Tell ya what, if you get an invite to my birthday gig, leave the chattering teeth or whoopee cushion in the novelty shop. If money is tight, spend $2.99 on a bag of extra long tees or a sleeve of golf balls or just offer a handshake and good wishes.
The 5th story currently on ESPN is about the alleged 2.3 million dollar buyout that moved Mike Bellotti's departure along. At the risk of being viewed as a simpleton, the minute I verified no taxpayer dollars would be used, I stopped caring. It's 48 hours shy of the Final 4, baseball season starts on Sunday, the NBA & NHL are hitting the regular season stretch run and the NFL Draft is starting to appear on the horizon. It's time to talk sports.
It wasn't what you'd call a monumental victory, but by taking out the Knicks last night, the Trailblazers clinched a 2nd consecutive playoff birth after 6 straight years watching the post season. They're 15 & 5 since bringing in Marcus Camby to bolster the front line. He's averaging over 11 boards a game and has really kicked it in the past half dozen games hauling in about 14 per. It's been a terrific, season saving pickup.
Let's give away some tickets to Oregon baseball. E-mail the correct answer to the following question to my address, stevetannen@live.com
Aside from the Spurs and Lakers, who was the last Western Conference team to win the NBA title? Good luck!
