1st anniversary post

Welcome to the 1st anniversary of my blog! This may not be the exact feast that you were expecting, but it's got reasonable information. Let's take a look.

Men's Basketball
Former Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie was arrested for DUI early this morning. Gillispie, fired on March 27 almost led Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament, but Kentucky has been one of the best teams in the history of basketball, and even though it was a shock to most people, it really doesn't meet the team standards.

NFL
Michael Vick is ready to make his debut in Philadelphia. Tonight, Vick takes on the Jags in his debut in Philly. Vick matches up with David Garrard, and tries to make his first game in over 2 and half years.Watch early, because Vick will play in the first quarter. Can Vick play like the Falcon of the past. Find out tonight at 7:00 PM ET.

MLB
The Red Sox have released Brad Penny to free up some space after the Billy Wagner deal. The Mets sent Billy Wagner to the Sox for 2 minor league players to be named. The Sox have been in need of another good pitcher to try to keep their lead in the wild card race and gain on the Yankees.

NBA
Will AI end up a Memphis Grizzle? Maybe. He received an offer from Grizzles GM Chris Wallace, and it's true. Iverson may decline since he's towards the end of his career without a title, but he could boost Memphis's team as the star of the team

College Football
The USC Trojans have named Matt Barkley as their starter, a shock to most people. Aaron Corp did well, but this could really effect college football and USC because the Trojans are ranked 4/4/6. This could help Cal, Oregon, and other Pac-10 teams because this is not another Mark Sanchez, who is the Jets starter. And, these teams could have a big year, so unless Barkley performs, it could be USC troube.

So that wraps this up for this 5 sport post. Thanks for checking out my 1st anniversity post.

The Eagles grabbed a 33-32 comeback win, but Vick did nothing. I see LeSean McCoy as a fantasy sleeper.

The Script - That Is, the Revised Script - Had This Super Bowl Matchup All Along

Image
Screenwriter Goodell has done it again! It's admittedly not the script I saw written in the stars - or rather in the combination of the NFL's Super Bowl logo and a Memphis radio station's (now) false advertising. The best explanation is that not even Goodell could have foreseen the Taylor Swift effect - and called in the cast midseason to push the Chiefs' Super Bowl hangover back one more year at Baltimore's expense. When the Harbaugh family threatened to sue, he called in a favor to the NCAA - and Jalen Milroe - to have Jim pocket the family's due 2023 ring. And then, to give big bro the upper hand, inflicted Jim with the worst curse in all of sports - that of the LA Chargers. Equilibrium is restored. It looked like the revised script was about to bring the 49ers down too in favor of the bookended schedule Super Bowl that Jake Marsh wanted to see so badly - the same kickoff game and championship game matchup. The thought crossed my mind as a minor consolation i

Taking My Talents Back to Baily's Sports and Stuff...And My Thoughts on Al Davis vs the NFL

I've recently gotten captivated by the practice of journaling - generally on my own thoughts that I notice and how I feel at various moments. This has been a transformative practice in my personal life in enabling me to be more honest with myself (which is really hard!) - whether that be about discomfort I feel, what conditions provide a state of flow, or anything in between. The ability to document my life on paper - and go back and read what resonated with me at a particular point in time - has been a similarly great practice for me. Recently, the excitement of playoff football and midseason basketball has led to me pursuing a similar practice in my personal journal - airing out thoughts on sports ranging from stats I've tried to memorize to my (often unwanted) psychological analysis on a given athlete / situation. I love the process of putting pen to paper, and plan to continue this in my personal life.  But when it comes to sports, I had the thought that maybe there's n

A's Fall To White Sox On Walk-Off Home Run

Image
In late innings, the Oakland Athletics are almost unstoppable. However, Jordan Danks found a way to stop the A's. Danks hit a home run to right with two outs in the ninth to propel the White Sox to a 4-3 win over the A's. Both teams are competing in the AL Wild Card race, so the loss is crucial for the A's, who received a solid outing from Brandon McCarthy in his return from the DL. McCarthy allowed three earned runs in six-plus innings pitched, and the two teams were tied after seven innings. Both teams received solid efforts from the bullpen, but the White Sox triumphed at the end. Dayan Viciedo, A.J Pierzynski and Alexi Ramirez also homered, all taking advantage of mistakes by McCarthy. McCarthy gave Ramirez a meatball in the fourth, and he hit it deep to left field. Viciedo and Pierzynski both hit outside pitches into the seats for the White Sox. With the game tied at three, submariner Pat Neshek delivered a pitch. Catcher George Kottaras wanted it away, but Nes
