General Tso, you are a worth adversary
I went to possibly the best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to last night. It had 8 buffet tables that were at least 10 feet long. Just a plethora of deliciousness. I of course got my share of the great general’s tasty chicken.
A big congratulations to singer Tom Jones. He’s going to be knighted. How far has the honor of being knighted fallen? Back in medieval times you had to save the queen or lay waste to an opposing army to be knighted. Now you just need a couple chart topping singles and you’re into the club. And while I like Tom Jones, is he really in the same class as Paul McCartney and Elton John?
I shaved my beard last weekend and two things became obvious. One, I look like a totally different (and younger) person without it (I got carded buying lotto tickets yesterday). And two, I hate shaving. That beard had me spoiled. About twice a week I’d touch up my neck but that was it. I did keep some sweet chops though.
I hope that Amare’s knee injury isn’t serious. But I’m pretty sure that everyone associated with and who enjoys the NBA is holding their collective breath right now. Micro fracture surgery is pretty much what ACL surgery was 25 years ago. While modern medicine has reduced ACL injuries to minor bumps in the road, Micro surgery is career threatening. While he played well in the 3 games he was back for, he wasn’t explosive from what I saw. I really hope that this isn’t another Chris Webber-type incident.
I know that it’s been a few days now, but how business like did UConn look on Sunday? While Mason seemed to be enjoying every minute of that game (even when they were down), the only UConn emotion I saw was when Brown tied the game at the end of regulation. It was like watching a bunch of robots. And nice job by Boone and Armstrong. Getting schooled by 6’7” big men really helps your draft stock.
And one more thing about that game. How quick is Tony Skinn? I know that Marcus Williams had a good game, but Skinn was in his grill all game. And not only that but he constantly had his hand in the passing lane and had to be far and away the leader in deflections for that game. Even though he missed the front end of the 1 and 1 at the end of regulation, I really thought that he controlled the tempo on the defensive end of the court.
I was also really impressed with Mason’s offensive discipline. They took the shot clock inside 10 seconds almost every position. I really think that fact helped them keep it together down the stretch because they weren’t tempted by quick shots.
That’s enough talk about Mason. I kind of rambled a little there.
I wanted to touch quickly on the other 3 final four teams.
I love LSU’s inside game, but I don’t know if Darrell Mitchell is going to be able to carry their perimeter scoring for two more games. The game with UCLA could be another knock down drag out, 54-52 type game. Look for Magnum Rolle to make the key defensive play (I can only hope).
How is it that this UCLA team gets to the Final Four but the Knight-Page Pitt teams couldn’t do it? Easier draw, maybe. Better offense, yes. I’m a big Afflalo fan, it will be interesting to see how he does with Temple on him Saturday.
Right now, Florida is my favorite to win it all. Everyone knows how great their inside game is, but I really think that Green and Humphrey both picked up a lot of confidence against Nova. And with Corey Brewer wreaking havoc and hitting 3s on the wing, they are very dangerous. I think UF’s athletic bigs will handle Mason much better then the UConn stiffs.
Lastly, I went to the Dan Valley Food Show today. If you ever get the chance to go to a food show, do it. It’s a schmorgusboard of deliciousness. And when someone would ask me if we’d be interested in having their product at the park I’d just tell them that I’m not the decision maker. Awesome.

I agree with you. It makes you a son of a bitch and a cheap shot artist. But he's still a heck of a player.
Fast forward to Seattle in a few weeks: While drunk, I'll punch you both in your junk. Later, CBS will run a story on me this fall before a Gator game. Man you guys will be pissed off.
Calvin: What the hell are you doing at work at 7:20 in the morning?
Way to jack my point comparing ACL injuries in the past to today's microfracture surgery that I made a couple of weeks ago.

That's it...we're fighting
I knew that I heard that somewhere.
I'm not at work at 7:20. This site must be hosted somewhere on the west coast, that's all I can figure. I'm lucky if I'm at work by 9:20 most days.
I hate you. I think you can adjust the settings to make the time more accurately reflect your time zone situation.
Have you heard anything from John?
I think that John has to suck dick to get internet time or something. That means I haven't heard anything.
And I don't want to fight that weekend. It will be a happy weekend.
And don't forget that'll we'll be on PST so the draft will start at 9am, awesome. And the M's game will start at like 10. God I'm going to be so drunk.
Jesus, I didn't even think about the draft starting so early. We're basically going to wake up drunk and just keep going that morning. The Mariners game should be an unmitigated disaster with that late start time. This is all going to end badly...very badly.
