Jimmer

I have no comment on the second half, I am tired of Jimmer.

Aztecs - BYU First Half

Offense ugly so far, Jimmer can shoot from anywhere. I like what Clark Kellog said, he has "in the building" range.



What the Jimmer is going on here?

Jimmer is undiculous.

yes, I am putting a picture of a BYU player on here, kid is awesome.



Mets are playing, ya know? It's 2-0 Braves, I dislike the Braves.

This Aztec game is not going well.

Jimmer is great but this 30 year old Hartsock dude, hitting threes? Come on.


Fernando Martinez goes deep, first Mets runs of the year.



Today's schedule:

Aztecs - BYU - now

Bolton - Newcastle - 2pm

Islanders - Capitals - 4pm

Now we are talking, knock Jimmer down!

Aztecs down by three, good half

Snowboarding



Snowboarding, I'll give it a few minutes.

4 man race, Kevin Leahy wins the race after the Mingini brothers both wipeout, tough night in the Mingini home tonight.

West Virginia up by 8 over Notre Dame. I was at a tourney game when Bob Huggins was coaching Cincy. Cincy player turned the ball over, there was quiet in Cox Arena, Huggins stomped his feet and screamed at the player, the entire arena was staring at him.

Nascar is on, anybody care?

I tried to watch Baylor at Texas Tech women's hoops but it is halftime and I don't really care. Though, the announcer is wearing some sort of lingerie top, not bad, surprising for a women's hoops game. Texas Tech is wearing bright pink uniforms and Brittney Griner dunked, so, there are some redeeming qualities in this tilt.





Hot Bodies of 2011 is on, waiting til they show me.

Washington State vs Arizona State? Can't say it fires me up.

Useless women's game of the week - Samford at Elon

Cornell vs Lehigh - college wrestling. Cornell is ranked first, Lehigh 17th, if you care, I don't.

NBA All Star East/West practice - yes, practice is on NBAtv. Let's take a look, shall we?

Gasol shooting jumpers, mostly standing around, running through the offense, Popovich teaching Melo the offense, will Melo be a Knick next week?

I would like to watch them learn the offense but I must have something better to do.

Army up 7-0 at Navy, I would watch this if it were the second half and it were close, but it's not and it's not.

Man United - Crawley Town

Crawley Town is hanging in there, 10 minutes to go.

Crawley Town Football Club is an English football team from Crawley, West Sussex. They compete in the Blue Square Bet Premier division of the Football Conference, the highest level of the National League System and fifth highest of the overall English football league system.

Meanwhile, St. Johns is battling Pitt.

Rooney looks like he was drinking last night, many bad passes, Chicharito has been mostly shut down too, Crawley has 5 minutes to tie this thing up.

Red Storm are talented, they will be scary in the tourney.

I searched "Crawley Town" in google images, and found this one, you figure it out.



Rooney gets yellow, still think he is buzzed.

Not much time left for Red Devils (Crawley Town for uneducated)

4 minutes stoppage, nice run by Crawley, can they pull off the miracle? Oh jeez, dude had the header to tie, and hit the crossbar, wow.

Maybe all the Man U guys are drunk, they all are falling for no reason.

Hernandez to Rooney, they show some life, Rooney misses.

In a classic on the pitch at Old Trafford, Crawley Town battled for their loyalists but could not bring a win home to Broadfield Stadium. Brodie stood with the chance to go home a hero, but the crossbar was not his friend on this day, Manchester United - 1, Crawley Town - 0.




Pitt hits a three, 59-58 over the Red Storm with 11.3 seconds to go.

What a shot, St. Johns wins! Spin under the hoop, Lou Carnesseca is happy.

RIP Joe Frazier.




"His firing was sort of symbolic of what was about to happen with the Mets. A still competitive and respectable team in ’76 — they won 86 games that year — in ’77 they started horribly before Frazier was replaced by player/manager Joe Torre. Two weeks later the Mets traded Tom Seaver and Dave Kingman on the same day in what came to be known as the “Saturday Night Massacre.” The franchise was competitively moribund and generally dreary on the eyes of the fan base for several years afterwards. It was only when Strawberry and Gooden showed up that fortunes began to change."

Devils - Canadiens

The Devils are playing the Canadiens, the Blues are playing the Lightning. Is the NHL clueless, any reason to play games during the Super Bowl?

Great, three and out, Jets could not do that, really?

Super Bowl

Have not left for Packer Palooza yet, not fired up for this game. It reminds me of the Soccer bowl we went too. The Cosmos lost, so the Vancouver Whitecaps played the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

"For the Vancouver Whitecaps, Soccer Bowl 1979 began with howls of execration raining down on them. Only a week before they had committed the sin of knocking the Cosmos out of the playoffs. And on Saturday afternoon the 50,699 fans at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N. J.—all but a few of them Cosmos supporters—showed that they were still choking on the fearful truth that, so sorry, no Franz, no Giorgio, no Bogie would be around when the trophy was presented.

But there it was: Vancouver against the Tampa Bay Rowdies. All right. Tampa you could live with. In four trips to the Meadowlands, the Rowdies hadn't won. In losing at last year's Soccer Bowl 3-1, they had been a punching bag for the Cosmos."

Who watches Glee anyway? (oh, Liz does)

There are no Jets on the field.

hah, Christina screwed up the anthem, didn't she?



I just watched Lombardi on HBO, a New Yorker saved the Packers. I'll bring that up at the Palooza.

Tomorrow, or the next day, many of these dudes won't even be on the Packers or Steelers ever again, just saying.

Way to go Marshall!

Sunday Morning

Bolton - Spurs:

I recorded this game,just watched it in about 10 minutes. Bolton chokes in the extra time to lose 2-1. They did not get a "result". My brother thinks he is from Leeds when he talks soccer, Fulham got a result! he says. Bro, you were born in Brooklyn.

Michigan State - Wisconsin:

They must already be drinking in Wisconsin for this one, just a warm up for the Super Bowl.

I have not cared about the Super Bowl since I was 7 months old, and I probably did even get to watch that game.

I just read my post about the Islander game yesterday, it may be, well, probably is, the most boring blog post in the history of blogs.

Isles - Senators


Moulson scores, 13 seconds later the Isles look lost and the Sens tie it, duh.

Power Play Isles, we will see. Not looking good, no shots, where is Tavares?

So JT is not on Moulsons line anymore, I have no idea what the Isles are doing, does anyone know?

Grabner scores, best waiver pickup ever.

Senators score, they have one win in 15 games, they beat the Islanders.

Butch Goring, what a great Islander, horrible announcer.

Kovalev scores, 3-2 Sens, hoping for first pick in the draft.

Isles score, 3 - 3, wow, what a period.

Saturday Morning


Doug Flutie on SportsCentury, he came to my birthday party at Filippi's one year. He was very quiet, sat by himself and left me alone out of respect for my birthday. Thanks Doug.

Wolves - Manchester United:

This game is tied at one, Wolves are from Wolverhamtpon.

Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. In 2004, the local government district had an estimated population of 239,100;[2] the wider Urban Area had a population of 251,462,[3] which makes it the 13th most populous city in England.

Wolverhampton Central Library

Wolverhampton is represented in the Premier League by Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. "Wolves", as they are known, are one of the oldest English football clubs, and were one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. Their most successful period was the 1950s, where they won three Football League Championships (then the highest division) and two FA Cups, and were involved in the earliest European friendlies. They were hailed by the press as "The Unofficial World Champions" after one of their most famous victories, against Budapest Honvéd FC of Hungary. They were also the first English team to play in the Soviet Union.

Still tied at one, moving on from this one.

Samford - Georgia Southern hoops - it is 0-0 and I can find no reason to keep watching this game.

You know you really need to get a life if you are watching Utah vs Texas, NBA D-League, but, I am, right now, it is true. There are actually people at this game. The score is 12-12, Joe Alexander just scored, enough already.

Check this one out: Newberry at Lenoir-Rhyne womens college hoops, this game is on TV, I am not joking.

MLB Network - "Top 50 Most Infamous Arguments: Featuring the greatest player/manager/umpire arguments in MLB history" That is the title of the show, enough said.

I just figured out that HRTV means, horse racing tv.

St. Johns vs UCLA: Well, I turned to this game, and, it's a commercial. This seems to be a common theme in hoops, commercial, commercial, commercial, 3 minutes of game action, timeout, commercial, commercial, commercial, 1 minute of game action, timeout, commercial, commercial commercial.



Sweet shorts Chris Mullin.

Red Storm up 9-4. Dwayne Polee Jr. is on St. Johns, I saw his dad play at Pepperdine, that was a while ago, eh? Call me nuts, but, St. Johns could make a run in the tourney, last week vs Duke and this game vs UCLA, they look good. You heard it here first. Now, I would say more but I am currently watching a commercial.

What happened to UCLA anyway? How are they not good?

Sometimes it's more entertaining to go over to PB Rec Center and watch a bunch of surfers, bartenders and whatever else they are play than staring at commercials all day.

Third commercial in 6 minutes. The game clock has moved 2 minutes, moving on.

Cleveland State is on vs Butler, remember Mouse Mcfadden?



"Mighty "Mouse" McFadden and Kevin Mackey's 14th-seeded Cleveland State Vikings turned in one of the most talked-about upsets in tournament history, beating Knight's third-seeded Hoosiers 83-79 in 1986. Just a freshman at the time, McFadden scored 32 points in the first two rounds, helping the 27-3 Vikings reach the Sweet 16 in their only NCAA appearance."

Back to St. Johns, commercial, I am out.

Arsenal - NewCastle


Newcastle just scored 4 goals in the second half to tie Arsenal. Great way to start the sports day!
