"We're gonna take you on back to the Caribbean"

what ever happened to offense?

They're supposed to be the two best basketball teams in the league playing in a seventh game for the championship. But they look awful on offense. They miss shots; they fumble the ball; they stand around; they dribble too much.

My assessment: The Lakers and the Celtics are tired of each other and just want this thing to be over with.

Crying out loud, it is the middle of June.

16 June 2010

Morning

1. Wake up, watch soccer--Chile v. Honduras.
2. Drink juice, take vitamins, check e-mail and facebook (while watching soccer).
3. French Toast and newspaper.
4. 25 minute bike ride.
5. P90x Chest/shoulders/triceps while watching soccer--Switzerland's huge upset of Spain.
6. Discover leak dripping into basement from kitchen plumbing, rig dehumidifier and fans to blow dry.

Who knows what the afternoon may hold. Bet on soccer, though.

My favorite sporting events to watch on tv

5. Notre Dame football (just because it's local--not because I'm an avid ND football fan)
4. Women's college softball world series.
3. Chicago Cubs baseball.
2. Any basketball game where Steven Nash is playing.
1. World cup soccer.

The most hopelessly boring sports to watch on television:

5. The Winter Olympics
4. The last two minutes of 95% of NFL football games
3. Poker (why is this even on tv, and why is it on ESPN?)
2. Cars driving around in circles (I think they call it Nascar?--is it even a sport?)
1. All but the last two minutes of any NFL football game.
