Suns Spurs Rematch

Sorry that is took so long to get my next blog out, with school and all, it can be difficult to find the time of day for everything. The title of this blog should be pretty self-explanatory, but before I get to that hot topic I want to do a rewind of this weekend in sports. While I do not profess myself to be an avid football fan, unlike others I know, I do enjoy following the game and seeing the story lines unfold. This week brought plenty an opportunity to relish in the stories.

I'm gonna kick it all off with one of my more favorite stories of the week: Dallas. Every since I was a little 49ers fan growing up, I have been taught to dislike the Cowboys. America's so called "favorite team" doesn't even make my top ten list of best teams in sports. This last week they proved why they are incredibly over rated and will NOT win it all this year. They lost to a team with a losing record (and should have lost on multiple occasions to teams with losing records). The Eagles are not a bad team, but they certainly don't have the shutdown defense they used to have. The fact that the Cowboys could get to double digits in scoring and couldn't even find their way into the endzone shows how bad this team is. They are in the NFC (which doesn't stand a chance at beating the top 3 AFC teams) hampers their "12-2" record that appears so great. Romo is too busy worrying about his Hollywood status and his ditsy girl (Jessica Simpson) to even be bothered with game day preparations. His QB rating of 22 was the proof of his preparation. But enough about the "Boys".

A few other stories was the feel good story of the Dolphins and the fell bad story of the Patriots. The Dolphins are a horrible team, but at least they wont go into the record books as the only team to go 0-16. They still have a long way to go before they are even "good", but they are moving in the right direction. As for the Patriots, or should I just refer to Belichick. This guy is a real character. Like he meant a single word he said about amazing game! The number one sign of his insincerity was the fact that the game was HORRIBLE. He just wants the PR and hopes that maybe one day someone will respect him, well too bad, so sad. You will never get my respect and I bet there are many more like me who would agree.

On to the real topic of the day, Suns Spurs. The Spurs have been the demise of the Suns for many years. Even before the second coming of Steve Nash, the spurs have been the thorn in the side for Phoenix. While anyone could see they are a good team, not everyone sees how they are a dirty team. It all starts with the "Defensive Genius" of Bowen. It is easy to be a defensive stopper when you knee the other guy in the groin so he can't move like normal. Or even when you stick your leg out or pretend to go for the ball so you can step on the other player's ankle. You add into the mix a foreign player with a blatant disrespect for anyones safety. He flops around and doesn't care if his hand hit your face or anywhere else for that matter. Finally you add in a guy who is stupid enough to say, add I quote:

"Last time I played the Phoenix Suns, I got bamboozled," Horry said, "because I got a two-game suspension and I only deserved a one-game suspension.

"I'm from the old school. When I came in the league, during the playoffs, foul hard; no blood, no flagrant foul. It was just a hard foul. My intention was to take a charge, but I got there too late. Of course, when you've got 150 (pounds) meets 250, 150 is going to go flying. It's all good. You learn from it and move on."

There is only one comment to that WOW. It is extremely apparent that the league is not going to do anything clean up the Spurs game and that they are not going to penalize spur's players for dirty play. The solution for the Suns lies in the problem, fight dirty with dirty. I am reminded of the playoff series with the Lakers, when Raja Bell threw a close line on Bryant. It was amazing how much that energized the team and how strong they went out and played the last games of the series to get the win. In this league, you can't be afraid to get your hands dirty or else teams will walk all over you. Phoenix has more than enough guys to throw out there that could take care of business. I will be watching intently tonight to find out what happens and I hope that the Suns can show that they are not afraid of the Spurs and take them down.

And that's my two cents for the day.

Welcome one, Welcome all!

Well I figured it was time for me to start my own blog. I have been told many of times that I say way too many random things, and now I will have a place to write down those wonderful random thoughts. For those of you who know me, you know about my love for sports. This is why I called my blog what it is. I am planning on blogging something sports at least every other day, but I encourage others to post comments. I will use your comments to fuel the fire. Feel free to share this blog address with anyone. While I love my teams and have my opinions on sports matters, I welcome all I hope to not appear too biased. Stay tuned for the first few blogs!
