I didn't laugh when I was watching the Draft this year...

Okay, idiocy aside, I really enjoyed sitting on my can all day Saturday and doing nothing but prognosticate, peruse, praise, and percolate. I was particularly excited when I saw that the Cowboys drafted Martellus Bennett, which at the time it occurred I let out an exclamatory "Yeah!" in the middle of a nice seafood restaurant (though there may have been a choice expletive in front of the "yeah"). I would have liked to see the Cowboys draft a receiver in the 2nd round, when it seemed like every team in the NFL was just making a mad run on them, but overall I was pretty satisfied by what the Cowboys came away with for the two days.

And...the Mavericks make me want to die. Freaking sports blue balls again.

Bryant Gumbel ousted

See ya sucka

Thank the heavens we won't have to listen to that dingus' play-by-play next year, as his version of sports broadcasting often recounts the exploits of such NFL greats as Al Gore and Rick Romo (Gumbel's butchered versions of 49ers running back Frank Gore, and Cowboys QB Tony Romo). I love the quote:

"But we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions."

Translation: The NFL Network realized I was the most ridiculous play-by-play guy in the history of sports broadcasting, and canned me. I am a total loser, and need to stay as far away from the NFL as is humanly possible.

Now if TNT will just fire Craig Sager ("I'm here talking with Dick Nowitski", yeah, that guy), my sports soul will be at peace.

I uttered this comment last night while conversing, regarding moving to a different place next fall:

"If I move, then I will be closer to some different places."

A truly brilliant deduction.

Balls. I fear the worst for the little Mavericks. Dirk hurt at a crucial time when it looks like when he's not on the floor they can't get anything done...and they desparately need some wins right now.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up better with my blog, as I just noticed it's been almost a month...yeeouch. I need to be better about that. My humblest apologies to all one of you reading this blog.

Crap, I'm so worthless not posting to my blog in so long...I am failing in my blogly duties. My humblest apologizes to all two of you reading this.

Things, as per the usual, are almost too overwhelming. I should be relaxing and enjoying a stress-free Spring Break, but instead I find myself in my normal panic mode, anxious to complete all the homework and projects I have upcoming. Yeeesh.

I saw the Cowboys signed Zach Thomas, which is just an absolutely solid pickup, getting a proven veteran like that on the cheap, and a guy who is still extremely productive and will immediately upgrade their linebacking roster. They got the all-time leading tackle leader among linebackers...yeah, I'm more than okay with that move.

As far as all the speculation of Jerry dealing with Bill Dwayne Tuna Parcells to acquire the pick for McFadden, and trying to sign Randy Moss...well I'll believe it when I see it. Frankly, March will probably tell us a great deal about the Moss situation, because TO Owens will be due a rather sizable signing bonus. I have a feeling the Cowboys are going to pony up for that, and hence, not be willing to sign Moss for some ridiculous contract they can't afford. And considering how Jerry has gotten severely burned in the past on trading away picks...I think he would approach some McFadden inspired pick/player trade situation with extreme trepidation (even though, I have to say I've been rather impressed by what the guy has done at the Combine).

And, last but certainly not least, the little Mavericks recent trade...I have to say, I think Kidd is going to work out pretty well for them. Kidd is definitely still productive, and there is a tangibly different feel to the court with the new starting lineup...I think Dirk is pretty excited that Cuban brought in Kidd after seemingly having a Mavs/Kidd trade rumor the past 3 or 4 seasons. Let's hope it all pans out, and the Mavs can get things in gear for the playoff push, and go in with some momentum this year. I don't think it's a complete stretch to say they have the ability to win an NBA Championship this year, but they certainly aren't the favorites, even in my mind.

And for a random funny...listen closely to Terry at the 50 second mark:



Isn't it fun to be able to laugh a little bit?
