10. Shawn Merriman has been deactivated by the Chargers. Injuries, sub-par seasons, dating Tila Tequila, more injuries, steroids – all of the above make a once dominant player replaceable.
9. The only thing that will keep John Wall and the Wizards from success is Gilbert Arenas. He has the perfect opportunity to play with and mentor a young phenom and he’s already up to his old antics. Over/under on Arenas being traded by the All-star break.
8. Major props to the Rangers for not soaking Josh Hamilton in the bubbly last night. He’s a recovering alcoholic/substance abuser and instead of celebrating w/champagne, they used ginger ale.
7. I’m actually looking forward to the NBA season. Maybe it’s to see the new young players (Wall), second year/first year players (Griffin), improved players (Durant), or maybe it’s just to see how the league deals w/the Miami’s super team. It’s a long grind from November to June but it should be exciting.
6. NFL parity – overrated. I’m thinking that nothing new or innovative has happened in the league for a few years now. Yeah, there was the Wildcat but that was more trendy/grasping at options than innovative. Maybe teams have gotten use to what their opponents are going to do and what we’re seeing is more knowing your opponent than parity.
5. If you’re not going to play college athletes, create a development league. I think college sports would be more collegiate if they were played by students who have an interest in athletics. If college sports is going to generate millions (if not billions of dollars), there’s no emphasis on college. For high school athletes who want to major in sports, let them play in a developmental league where they can get paid and learn the art of a professional sport.
4. I know it’s historical but why do baseball teams celebrate after winning the divisional and championship series? Maybe because it’s only two rounds until the World Series but in no other sport do teams celebrate just for winning a playoff series.
3. Not sure how to deal w/this Brett Favre situation. Yeah, he may have sent some inappropriate pics and a suspension is warranted. However, my question is why now? This happened two+ years ago and we’re just hearing about it? I need to hear from the former reporter before I join the suspension pitchfork parade.
2. I support the interest in a BCS playoff system but this year, it may not be necessary. If you want to talk about parity, look no further than college football. There really is no dominant team and the title is literally up for grabs.
1. Terrelle Pryor is finally legit. Yeah, it took him a few years but he looks comfortable in the offense and has a chance to be this year’s version of Vince Young.
