So, not that I saw it coming or anything, but the Patriots pulled a fast one and everyone and it became very apparent yesterday with the release of the injury report for the Super Bowl, when Tom Brady’s ankle was not mentioned (don’t worry, his right shoulder was). It was all a scam. Brady’s ankle never hurt, just as I theorized last week.
I’m currently blogging at a Panera. I feel like Perez Hilton. Except I’m writing about sports and I’m not fat and effeminate.
There is very little happening in sports today, besides the Johan Santana near-fiasco. I’m terribly frightened that the Mets are not going to execute this signing and Santana will be the Twins opening day starter and my life from April to September will be a little sadder because of it. Santana instantly makes the Mets the best team in the National League, though it is a little to early for predictions, especially with so many great signings going down, like the Yankees inking Morgan Ensberg (he NEEEEEEEVER took steroids) to a one year deal.
There is talk that the Blazers, Mavericks, and Nets have a proposed deal that involves Jason Kidd going to the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers ruining their magic karma. New Jersey would stay the same. In the deal, the Blazers would give up Jarrett Jack, Travis Outlaw, and Channing Frye and receive Devin Harris. Now, Devin Harris is a quality point guard, but Outlaw is having a breakout year, Frye has a manageable contract, and Jarrett Jack is a more than capable NBA point guard. Portland does need to start trimming down its roster, because they are gaining Greg Oden and a slue of previously drafted Euro players next year, however, I would not trade Travis Outlaw. If they’re looking to trim some fat, Steve Blake and Joel Pzybilla would be a good place to start. I don’t know what the Mavericks are thinking, personally. Kidd is still a great player, but he’s also a malcontent and the Mavs risk hurting whatever team chemistry they have. This also would push Josh Howard back to a third man role, where he, I feel, would falter. He’s becoming a star in the NBA and Mark Cuban would be wise to recognize that and not mess with that by adding a superstar and instead go out and find him some quality role players to fill in bench holes. The Nets, well, they’re the Nets.
There are a number of different columns I’d like to write: Top Five best running back prospects in this April’s NFL draft, why the New Orleans Hornets are the greatest entity since air, a conference breakdown of Men’s College Basketball, etc. If you read this every day (I’m looking your way, Matthew Minton) and you’d like to read my thoughts on anything, please, send them my way. At this point, I feel like I’m only writing to give myself something to read when I have internet access.
Because I feel like a massive tool box, blogging in public, I’ll jump to my game o’ the day.
Game O’ The Day: Boston @ Dallas. (NBA) This is the Celtics first west coast test of the year (yes, in January). They beat up on the terrible Heat the other night without Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. The question is, can they do that again tonight against a much, much better Mavs team. I say no. Dallas wins 103-90.
Mid-Atlantic Bias 
Break down the MVC for me. Are Ill St and Drake for real?I’m a bit preoccupied. As a joke in my terrible luck, I filled out an e-harmony thing. It turned back no matches. I feel like Ted. I’m doomed.
I’m watching SportsCenter right now, you would be proud. I enjoy your blog when you are talking about things that I understand. I hope you don’t come Perez Hilton. There’s only room in this world for one of him in this world.Kristen
