Hello everyone out there in the sports world. I have taken a little break from blogging to focus on Family and the Holiday's. Plus, I would of been one sided in picking games, being a Steelers fan. Check out Sleepnbeauty's blog for the insight to game day on a A True Fan. Lots going on in the sports world, since I left. First off I would like to congratulate the New England Patriots for going Undefeated. Also, I feel Randy Moss should of been MVP not Tom Brady. Tony Romo aka Tony Homo decides to take off the last month of the season and date the blond bimbo Jessica Simpson. Loses and important game to the Philadelphia Eagles with her in attendance. Plus, the Cowboys have now won a playoff game in 11 years and Romo is down in Mexico with the idiot, instead of preparing for a game. To bad Peyton Manning has to go shot more commerical while his brother Eli is playing the most important game of his life. San Diego finally gets to were everyone thought they should of been the last two years. I am not in the quoting game right now but I am seeing an upset in the AFC. I would like to see and Green Bay vs New England Superbowl, but I think that a Green Bay vs San Diego would be better. Stay tune I will give you my break down later in the week.
I am glad to see then Illini football made the Rose Bowl a game for at least 3 quarters. I watched a lot of good college football on New Years Day! I think it is time for the NCAA to finally go to a Playoff system to pick the winner. I think that USC would of ended up winning the whole thing. I am a big Pete Carroll Fan. He is a class act.
What else is going on, Shaq and the Miami Heat are the Worst team in the NBA, The Chicago Bulls fire Scott Skiles and Lebron James gets pulled over for speeding. I will do a follow up to all in the NBA and my thoughts.
To all the sports fans out there, May the Force be with you!
The Chicago Cubs had Ryne Sandberg, The Chicago Bulls had the most Famous 23 of all time, Michael Jordan. Now there is a new Hero in town. He is not a QB or a RB but a Kick off/Punt Return Devin Hester. This man is absolutely amazing. He is the next coming on Michael Jordan. He wears the same number and he does things on the field that no one else can do. He has even stunned the best kick off/Punt returner of all time Deion Sanders. Deion has said that he is the new Prime Time and is better than Him. That is amazing. To come from a man who thought he was the best of all time. So what do you think? Is he better or not? Can he make a play at being at a level of the great MJ?
Greg Oden goes down even before Practice start with a Season ending knee injury. Has Portland felt the wrath again. They pass on Kevin Durant, like the passed on Michael Jordan in 1983, for what they thought was the best player that would help them now instead of, who I felt would of been the bigger help down the rode in Durant. Seattle got a player in Kevin Durant that is absolutely amazing. Durant in my mind will be the next player that everyone compares to one of the legends.
Other rookie I will be following is the Chicago Bulls First Round Pick Joakim Noah. In my mind he was a over rated player on a great team. He did nothing to impress me. The only thing that stuck out was his wild hair. That is just my opinion though. He could be a great player with the bulls. I really feel the bulls are a player or 2 and a coaching change from winning another Championship.
What does everybody else think about the rookies? Who is the rookie player you are looking forward to watch playing? What team is the team to watch out for?
"I would certainly listen [to trade offers for Kobe]. At any time, I think you have to do that with anybody. It's just part of the game ... You can't keep too many loyalties. You've got to look at it as a business. He looks at it the same way I look at it."
-- Lakers owner Jerry Buss
After reading this quote I think that it is really interesting that owner Jerry Bus would consider trading his top player. I think he is absolutely crazy. Kobe is considered one of the greatest players of all time, and they would consider trading him. When the Lakers had Magic Johnson was there any talk of trading him? I think not. I am not a big Kobe Fan, but I think that the Lakers have a good young team to work with and need Kobe if they ever want to win another Championship in the next 10 years. I understand that it is business, but what if Jerry Krause would of said that he would listen to trades for Micheal Jordan? I would think the whole league would of put out a proposal to get MJ.
What kind of deal has Jerry Buss listen too? What would you accept as a good offer for a player of Kobe's Caliber?
Role Models could be anyone. They could be a teacher,doctor, lawyer,actor,parent,aunt,uncle,grandparent or athlete. Mine would have to be the greatest basketball player ever, Michael Jordan. MJ has all the qualities I feel a role model should have. He is a great play and sets goals high. He acts professional in the public eye. Someone you can talk too and if they are a superstar they should not act like they are better than everyone else. Someone that is hard working and strives to achieve goals.
Michael Jordan is the hardest working person I know. I look up to him because he sets goals and achieves them. He is always up for any challenge. He has great family values and dresses and act professional in the public Eye. he worked hard for his money and everything else he has earned.
Michael Jordan was and still is the greatest basketball player of all time. I will look up to him and the way he conducted himself. I feel that if I was about 6'3" I could be like mike. I try to follow his work ethic, by being a great person to my family and setting goals for myself and achieving them. Who is your role Model? Why do you look up to this person? What traits to you value from your Role Model?
