-i'm watching women's curling right now on TSN via the magic that is the interwebs and for some reason i'm bizarrely fascinated. you can tell curling teams aren't used to being televised because they are all wearing glasses. except for bowling, i can't think of a televised sport in the states where the athletes regularly wear glasses. or maybe this is just a Canada thing.
-first pick in the NFL draft better be Glen Dorsey. he's a sure thing. remember when the Texans took Mario Williams first two years ago and were ridiculed for not taking Vince Young or Reggie Bush? well, now they look smart. the same will apply for whoever is smart enough to pass up Mcfadden and Matt Ryan this year in order to pick up Dorsey, as evidenced by the following comparisons: Mcfadden > Bush; Ryan > Young; Dorsey > Williams. now all Miami has to do is fuck it up.
-the only Western Conference team in the NBA that actually got better thru these midseason trades is the Lakers. which is funny, because they probably needed it most. Shaq's not going to provide a whole lot of help before the playoffs, and with how tight the battles are in the West it might be too late for the Suns by then. if they've slipped into the bottom four of the playoff cut, they could be in trouble. Kidd's lost a step in the last couple of years too, and Devin Harris was a great young player. it's going to take time for things to congeal in Dallas, and they had a delicate chemistry that may have just been upset. i think Dallas is still acting out of desperation in reply to the disappointment of last season, and it's going to really cost them. i wish the Nuggets had been able to make a trade for someone, but i'm glad they passed on Artest and Zach Randolph, since both trades likely would've involved giving up Linas Kleiza. if we can move Nene and/or JR Smith, then great, but i'd like to see Kleiza and Najera stay with the team. their energy off the bench is crucial. and they really can't disrupt the core of Camby, Iverson, Anthony, K-Mart. the whole team's going to get better when Chucky Atkins gets healthy, but alas, it might be too late. this could be one of the best teams to ever miss the playoffs, the way things are going.
