Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Earlier this preseason, Jim Leyland said Dontrelle Willis, “Looks tremendous right now.” Earlier this preseason, Dontrelle Willis was attacking the strike zone. He was working low. He was working inside and out. He was firing fastballs. He was mixing changeups and breaking balls to every batter he faced. He was looking good. He was looking more and more like the D-Train we all knew and loved. What the heck happened? Read More »

Home is where the heart is, home is so remote. Home is just emotion sticking in my throat. Home is hard to swallow, home is like a rock. Home is good clean living, home is – I forgot. -Lene Lovich
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Just a quick little fun factoid for y’all. Just a quick little fun cracker jacktoid for y’all. A quick little fun diversionary attacktoid for y’all. Yesterday, when the Kings held on to defeat the Suns in Sacramento, that capped a perfect day for the home teams. Yesterday, the home teams won each of the nine NBA games on the slate. Big deal? So what? I’ll tell you so what. I’ll tell you it had been more than three years since the last time NBA home teams went 9-0 (or better) on the same day. I’ll tell you there have been only four days in NBA history on which the home teams have gone 10-0. How about that?

I’ve been meaning to put this guy up for some time now. I’ve been meaning to put up the guy who artfully combines a famous movie line with the scoring of a goal by a Florida Panthers player. I’ve been meaning to put up Randy Moeller:

And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, and he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger. -Survivor
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! I’m not a golf guy. I don’t even play one on TV. I do love me some Tiger Woods. Heeeeeeeee’s Great! I’ve been waiting for this. Anticipating for this. Waiting and anticipating for Tiger’s big comeback. I know. Don’t call it a comeback. He’s been here for years, rockin’ his peers and puttin’ suckas in fear. He rocked his peers yesterday at Bay Hill. Put suckas in fear yesterday at Bay Hill. Yesterday, while you were watching the Madness, I watched Tiger Woods come storming back and done do what he always done does at Bay Hill. Or a t least what he done did in three of his six Bay Hill victories. I watched Tiger Woods saunter up and knock down a birdie putt on the last hole for the winner winner chicken dinner. Yowza!

(CBS 7:05PM ET) I can’t wait! I can’t wait for the slugfest. The punch you in your mugfest. The who’s gonna squash who like a bugfest. Like my main man Tommy Udo, “For a nickel , [these two teams] would grab him, stick both thumbs in his eyes and hang on until he was dead.” This game is not for the meek. This game is not for the feint of heart. These two teams are not pretty. These two two teams do not mind a little contact, in fact, they embrace it. Get your popcorn ready!
