Rockies U to You Got Rocks In Your Head NFL Draft Choices

Baby girl almost got another goal again today! Goal of the day, however, goes to young John, who kicked the ball from midfield into our empty net! Hey we'll take a goal any way you want to serve it up! (Big smile)

Brian Abshire goes #1 to the Rams! He has to be the sickest player in the draft right behind the Raiders first pick Derrick Morgan DL from GT. The Raiders really needed to draft an owner, hey does anyone have Simon Cowell's number, perhaps he could do an Owner Idol, and get us an owner!? What will the Panthers and the Pack do now? Hmmm...

The favorites have all taken care of business in the NBA, oh wait DWade just said that he was the most complete player in the NBA, and that the Celt's aren't favorites so much anymore in the East! His Heat are looking to upset the Celts in the Garden! Number 3 first blocked P Squared, then raced to the other end of the floor to receive a lead pass from his teammate, and jammed the ball home with two hands! He had a wicked, bad put back over Perkins the Celtics big man, and another block! DWade props to you sir, even if your team fell short by falling apart in the middle of the 3rd! The Jazz and Nuggets square off in 3... I am thinking Denver will roll in this series, but we shall see. OK Magic and Cav's in the East? And Nuggets and Lakers (Defending World Champs) in the West. Although, if the Hawks get mean enough, they could make things interesting after they handle the Bucks! I do not believe they have the depth or experience to get past the Cav's or Magic, but a few moves from the GM, and they could be the team of the future in the East, they have the young talent to go forward if the right people put them in position to win at a higher level. As for the West, as bad as I hate to admit it, and do not care to much for the Jazz, I have to say as long as Jerry Sloan is coaching never count out his Jazz, but over my Lakers, I just don't have the heart to say they can win the West, ever again! Lol.

Back to soccer, Man U and the Premier league did their thing today, and what am I missing? Oh yeah! Larry Dixon ran a 3.91 @ 313 for the fastest pass today to hold the #2 spot at Vegas! His teammate Del Worsham is tops through today for Funny Cars.

Tomorrow I will look for the NFL picks of the Panthers, Packers, and hope for the Lakers to show out completely against the Thunder. Now did I leave anything out? Ubaldo Jiminez just no hit the Bravo's! That a boy U!!! Man get your Tourist tickets now, you never know who will be the next big Rockies star!!! Now if I have missed anything worth mentioning sports wise you can hit me back after church, and the cookout on the mountain tomorrow. From 3PM EST to 6PM I hope to be back home and glued to the Laker game, so you can inform me if I have missed anything worthwhile after that. Good night all.

Racing For What?

NASCAR kicks off 2010 with a bang! Potholes and Pieholes; could we keep them both sealed just long enough to enjoy a race? Distractions and attractions, man what a weekend in Florida!

Hats off to Jamie McMurray on his first Daytona win. I can't speak of the sponsor in the lesser NASCAR race because, well just because, but I am wondering what would have taken place if Danica would have placed high, or better yet, what would have taken place if she had won? I can tell you now that it would have been tough to have taken the spot light away from her even on Sunday! Wait isn't that Sarah Palin? Spotlight adjustment please...

Sarah Palin was at Daytona for an entirely different race, perusing through the crowd on the infield taking pictures, shaking hands, and hugging everyone old enough to vote, and some of those that were not old enough to vote, but only if they were connected with someone old enough to vote. What could possibly be a worse for the winner of the race than to have the spotlight on someone else before the race had even begun? For Jamie McMurray the answer would be - looking up at the end of the race, and seeing Dale Jr. in your rearview mirror, and going through the anxiety of wondering whether or not he was going to put you into the wall! On the other hand at least it wasn't Keselowski, or Stewart. With one of them in the rearview it could have easily turned into a trip to the tracks medical facility.

Then there's Ashley Force Hood! Yes the ladies have the racing spotlight on the track and off, and I am not mad at'em! Ashley, and her father John Force are the first daughter and father team to reach an NHRA Final. The 14 time Champion as a driver and 16 time Champion as an owner couldn't have been more proud and honored to lose to his little girl in that Final. I know I would have been too happy! Now if we can just get her out of that Mustang and away from the darkside, and doing the right thing and using the "Force" for good and not evil...

Well looks like papa got this one! He won for the first time since the 2008 Topeka race, and capped of the first race victory over Ron Capps. 60 years young and busted him out of the gate. Oh big ups to my old North Hollywood neighbor Larry Dixon for winning the Top Fuel event.



OK here's the backatcha for the ladies. Johnny "On The Spot" Spillane takes home a Silver Medal for the US in the Nordic Combined for the first ever medal since the 1924 Inagural Winter Games took place. Good looking out Johnny.




We still haven't forgotten about the possibility of Lindsey Vonn not being able to compete, however, Johnny's Silver helps ease the pain of the possibility in not having Lindsey available to medal for the US.

Oh yeah, with all of the hype, and everything I almost forgot to mention that it is also NBA All-Star Weekend too! There are lady officials in the NBA now, but I do not know whether there is a lady calling the All-Star game. If there was, I would be happy for her too. I am just sad for the non-Philly fans that they are having to deal with Allen Iverson for one more All-Star appearence...

Well to the ladies in sports, and everywhere else, here's to you:

Happy Valentines Day!
