Bsmith's Daily Rant (2-22-07)

Somewhere in Ohio - Today is a sad day for me, as I have to say goodbye to The O.C, a show that has provided many laughs, as well as a few other emotions that I do not care to disclose, over the past 4 years. For those of you who haven't seen it, just take a look at this girl and see what you've been missing. That being said, today has been a very lackluster day in the world of sports. The Cavs didn't make a deal, not that I expected them to, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me really wanted to see Mike Bibby running this offense, and then another part says that this team can win the East as is... I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Bad news for Heat fans, superstar Dwyane Wade looks as if he could be out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. As a Cavs fan, that is great news, but as a fan of the NBA it is tough to watch such a great leader go down (Of course, the collision that caused this was with Shane Battier, whom I have hated for years and whom I also blame, along with Coach K, for the abundance of charges that are called these days). I am very interested to see if Shaquille O'neal can carry his team, and the ripe age of 35, into the playoffs with what he says will be "aggressive play."

The Cavs have a big nationally televised game this evening against the Bulls, and I'm not going to get into the "Orange-Out" again because it will just make me mad. I'm certainly expecting a big game from Lebron (National TV has certainly had a way of making him play inspired this year) and this will be a bit of a statement game for the fans to prove that they will be just fine having not picked up anyone in free agency. Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh were elminated today from the Accenture World Match Play Championships, and I am certainly not surprised. Chalk another one up for Tiger... what is this gonna make 8 in a row? Unreal. On a side note, if you're Mickelson, even after an upset loss, you still get to go home and have sex with your gorgeous wife and enjoy being filthy rich, so his life is better than mine and I will leave it at that. I've got nothing else, so Go Cavs and lets hope the Brownies can win the big coin flip tomorrow at 7:45 a.m!
