I dig you dude, but those shades... If I had more money, I would’ve thrown an all-out bash centered on Bob Knight retiring from coaching. The man that epitomized everything I hate about college basketball quit on his kids after preaching not quitting for most of his “storied” career. Finish the season Mr. Knight THEN retire. Being tired never worked for your players and it shouldn’t work for you. But then again, isn’t hypocrisy the essence of college basketball? The sports world seemed a little brighter after hearing that. (more on Knight in the near future)
Everyone please stop talking about Tiki Barber. (Wait…I had to take a couple of minutes to watch Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood open the Grammys…I think I need a cigarette).What was I saying again?
Oh yeah, stop talking about Tiki Barber. I’m sure that he misses the glory of winning the Super Bowl, but that’s about it. He’s happy with the choices that he made; I had no problem with ANY of the things he said (since at the time he was right on all counts) and people must realize that this would’ve been a different Giants team if he was here. Even though he’s the best offensive talent in the history of the franchise, who says they reach the Super Bowl with him? Who says Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward become important factors? By the way, who says the Giants reach the Super Bowl if Jeremy Shockey didn’t get hurt? I’m just planting seeds here.
I just saw Morris Day & The Time perform with Rhianna at the Grammys. Did that just happen? OMG! LOL! WTF?! (By the way, I LOVE Morris Day and The Time)
I still don’t know what to think of the Shaq trade. I initially thought it made absolutely NO sense, but now I’m on the fence. I don’t think we’ll know for sure until the western conference playoffs. One thing is certain; even the Suns realized that their style of play wasn’t going to win championships. Now they have a big man on the low post as a weapon. We’ll see about the results.
I think I’ve finally accepted the Kanye shades (we all know those shades from the “Stronger” video) and have actually begun to like them. I also love his Grammy performance with Daft Punk on Stronger/Hey Mama. Nice tribute to Donda. The standing ovation was well deserved.
I have to give it up to Beyoncé performing with Tina Turner. That was cool. What’s going on here? Despite the fact that the Grammys are irrelevant, they have put on a great show this year. Does it have to do with the fact that it’s their 50th anniversary? I hope not. Even their lifetime achievements awards made sense and were on point (The Band, Burt Bacharach, Berry Gordy as an Industry Icon).
So “Rehab” won song of the year. Boy the Grammys love ‘em some baby boomer-era soul music.
I love the Foo Fighters, but them winning the Grammy for best rock album shows you the state of mainstream rock. Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace barely made a dent in the national consciousness. Speaking of all things Foo, I knew Dave Grohl could be a softie at times, but seeing him act all sentimental during his acceptance speech was weird. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in public in a non-ironic pose. I like it.
Herbie Hancock’s Joni Mitchell tribute album won album of the year. I take everything back about the Grammy’s putting on a good show. WHAT?!
Pitchers and Catchers for the New York Mets report on February 16, 2008. Can you tell that I’m excited? I’ve been waiting for this day all winter. Spring training is here. Baseball is here.
Go pick up Devastations’ latest album “Yes, U.” Pretty good stuff. I said so in this review
Giggity, giggity
