Hump Day News & Views

Okay..... Alright, already.......

We're back......With one of the favorite features of 5 on Five.......

If it's Wednesday, it must be Hump Day!

On to the ......News & Views...........


Major League Baseball..........

Still .....doesn't get it. On a day when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell took a 20% pay cut, (NFL Reduces Staff, Goodell Cuts Pay), Bud Selig, baseball's commissioner got a pay raise. And people wonder why baseball........America's game.......has fallen below the NFL, NBA, and college football in popularity among us sports fans. MLB........still just doesn't get it....and sadly.....it never will.

Charles goes to jail......

Yes, Sir Charles Barkley has to do 5 days in jail for his DUI in Arizona. It could have been worse. But the punishment fits the crime. Do the time........seek counseling.......be back on TNT in time for the play-offs.


Happy Trails .......Stephon Marbury..........

The New York Knicks have finally cut ties with Mr. Marbury...........ending a rather strange relationship with the former all-star guard. Marbury had been making millions of dollars by not playing..........NBA | Knicks, Stephon Marbury arrange buyout........


Iverson and the Pistons..........it ain't working.....

When this trade first went down.....I was leery........now.....I have seen the light. Detroit screwed up. As much as I like Joe Dumas (Pistons general manager)........this was a bad move. "A-I" is in his late 30's.....And the offense still revolves around him. Bringing in Iverson meant the benching of Richard Hamilton..........a true shooting guard....now having to come off the bench. The end result? The Pistons .......with last nights loss .......fell under .500 for the first time in .......years.


Things..........I think........I think........

Now, there are two plum trees blooming in the back yard.........Does "Mother Nature" realize.......it is still early February?

I don't care what Fox News thinks........President Obama sure looked "presidential" last night.

For the shortest month of the year.......February sure has made a statement this year.....Super Bowl.......Presidential inauguration........black history month........and all in just........28 days!

Make it........9 straight..........as in 9 straight Georgia high school wrestling state champions for my alma mater , Jefferson High School..........Even after moving up in class (from A to AA) my Dragons slew all of the competition. And to think........me and 6eVoice.......started this whole thing........back in the 70's.

Glad to be back.......

Have a great "Hump Day"............
