random sporting observations
- Roy Halladay is, in my opinion, the toughest (both physically and mentally) pitcher in baseball. He's also one of the most skilled. If only the Jays were able to hit in the beginning of the season (when he had some losses due to no run support) he'd be having another Cy Young-caliber year. High on my list of desired purchases in the near future is a Halladay jersey.
- Miami Heat would be INSANE to trade Dwayne Wade and the #2 pick to Chicago for the #1 pick. And Chicago would be insane NOT to accept that trade.
- Joba Chamberlain failed miserably in his first career start. He should never have been made a starter. Instead, he could be the next Mariano Rivera, when Rivera retires in a few years or so.
- Who will the Raptors pick in the draft? Who cares. At #17, you are not going to get someone who will have an immediate impact. Colangelo should look to trade one of his small forwards (probably Parker but i'd rather keep him and trade Delfino) and one of his point guards (TJ must go). I also think he should entertain the idea of playing Bargnani at small forward (yes he's 7 feet tall but he is more suited to play small forward than centre).
- Who wins the NBA finals? I want Boston to win but Lakers probably will in 6.
- Kimbo Slice reminds me of when Goldberg was popular in WCW. He is best suited to fighting shorter fights against boxer-type opponents. When they eventually put him up against a more skilled fighter, he will be exposed as a one-dimensional fighter with no stamina. Having said that though, he'd probably be the person i'd LEAST like to run into in a back alley because he is one mean looking dude.
- I could never be a MMA fighter because of 2 reasons: 1) my size, obviously, and 2) those cauliflower ears are definitely NOT a desirable physical feature to have.
- Triple H is the WWE champion. McMahon must be out of new ideas because he's reusing his own from 10 years ago.
- Wresting is stale now. I usually watch because of the matches, but I havent been REALLY excited about a match (in any company) since the amazing Samoa Joe/AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels 3-way match in TNA a few years back. Having said that though, Ric Flair's retirement match at this year's Wrestlemania and his celebration the next night on Raw is the single classiest thing Vince McMahon has EVER put together.
