- It was on this day two years ago, that Michael Jordan made his infamous Hall of Fame speech. It ranged from dissing the two Jerrys (Krause and Reinsdorf) to ripping former teammates and opponents. So whats up Mike, no parting shots for the ex-wife? Way to stay classy Mike.
-Oh Miguel Cabrera. What are you doing man? In 09, you get drunk, beat up your wife, go to AA, and supposedly become a changed man. Last night, you get arrested for DUI in Florida while drinking scotch from the bottle in front of a deputy and reportedly threatening to kill people???!!!! Seriously? In the words of Crash Davis “Come on, 'rook, show us that million-dollar arm. 'Cause I got, oh yeah, I got a good idea about the five cent head of yours.” What a waste of talent. I just hope he doesn't drink himself out of the league.
-In their second coaching hire in the last week, Virginia Tech continues to rebuild their staff around a young, energetic core. The hiring of Defensive Line Coach Cornell Brown is a huge boost in the push to retain the coveted 757 recruiting base that the Hokies have survived on. Brown was a two time All American at VT and played seven seasons for the Ravens (1997-04) including getting that bling from the Ravens 2001 Super Bowl victory. That will come in handy during those living room chats with potentional recruits. Brown, along with RB Coach Shane Beamer and DB Coach Torrian Gray show that the future for VT Football is bright indeed.
-The Philadelphia Eagles have set their sights on CB Nnamdi Asomugha as their prime Free Agent target. Three years ago, they spent $56 million over 6 yrs for Asante Samuel. With two lock down corners and young safety Nick Allen coming back from injury, look for the Eagles secondary to be lock down nasty! Now if they can produce a run defense then Vick wouldn't have to score 30 a game to win! Technically this is the offseason, but for football nuts there is no offseason. NFL Combine starts in 6 days! Good stuff.
-After seeing both Gone Baby Gone and The Town, I must say that Ben Affleck has quite the talent for directing. While I have enjoyed most of his movies, you don't have to be a member of mensa to know he's not the greatest actor. Some people are meant to find their success behind the camera. Look at Eastwood. The guy couldn't act his way out of a paper bag! Kidding people, just kidding.
-When Michael Jackson died he had $400 million in debt and I see where his estate has made over $300 million since his death in 2009. Makes you wonder why it took until his death to actually turn a profit? Its probably a bit easier to save when your not molesting kids and paying out settlements!
