A Few Things On My Mind

Mark Cuban: Please keep your mouth shut. For those who have not heard, Cuban, who is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was upset with the NFL because they scheduled an Eagles - Cowboys game at the same time as a Mavericks game. He is concerned that there will be no-shows for his basketball game that night. I don't think that the NFL have to be too concerned with a meaningless January NBA game.

Gilbert Arenas and the rest of the Washington Wizards: What are you thinking? Gilbert Arenas earlier this year got into a little bit of a tiff with fellow teammate Javaris Crittenton, the tiff then escalated into pulling firearms on each other. Pretty stupid you say? It gets worse. Arenas has been suspended indefinitely by NBA commissioner David Stern, because he was joking about the whole situation and not understanding that this is a very serious offense. Pretty stupid you say? Seriously, it gets even worse. Before the game on Tuesday where the Wizards played against the 76ers, he was pointing at his teammates with his hand in the form of a gun, and his teammates were LAUGHING! I'm glad they find pulling guns out at a fight is hilarious. And I thought there couldn't be anything worse in D.C. than the Redskins.

Lovie Smith: So most of your coaching staff got canned, but you didn't. I can understand the decision (money), but there is only one thing I am going to ask of you, please hire someone that can tell you when to properly throw a challenge flag.

The Blackhawks: Just keep on doing what you're doing. Tonight they were down by two goals early in the game, and came back with four unanswered goals to win. There's absolutely no question that they have loads of talent, but what Joel Quenneville has done with this young Hawk team is just fabulous. What he has done with the goalie situation (last year too), the come-from-behind victories, changing the lines, and managing a team that has only a few players over the age of thirty has to put him in leading contention for the Jack Adams trophy. It hasn't been just the players and coaches, it's also been the management and owners. Rocky Wertz and the two GM's he's had have also done as good of a job with an organization as you can do. They have allowed us to watch every game of the year, brought in some fantastic young talent, and the young talent that they have brought in, for the most part have been signed for years to come. The other sports teams in Chicago can learn a lot from the guys on the ice.
