Wednesday Rambler

Its been a busy week here and things are hectic, I gotta say doing this thing gives me some piece of mind , enough about me lets get on with the sports.

The NCAA is at it again asking ... no demanding that the University of Kentucky apologize for celebrating Coach John Calipari's 500th win by sending a five page letter detailing how the apology should be and said apology has to be approved by the NCAA.  Is it me or is the NCAA overstepping its authority here.   You would think the NCAA would not worry about this since you have football programs having players sell their stuff for tattoos , discounts on cars and a coach that ran a muck.   I think UK should tell the NCAA to go to hell; its obvious the NCAA is out to get UK.



To NBA news , I know its been a few days but Dallas Mavericks finally win one and the big German Dirk Nowitzki is the finals MVP.  Mavs owner Mark Cuban and some of the players partied it down in South Beach, spending over a $115k , that is some kind of party, and leaving a tip for the staff of $20k.  I say kudos to Mark Cuban.

Now with basketball done ... oh wait you always have the WNBA to watch if your really have a jonesing for basketball but, myself basketball is done until October-November and getting amped up for college basketball again.

The Reds west coast swing , which in the past has but anything but spectacular, is turning out to be pretty successful.  Johnny Cueto was as Dusty Baker put it "dealing".  Reds beat the Dodgers again last night 3-2.  I don't care how they win.  The Reds have been getting hot at the right time so maybe they can catch the Brew crew, but its a long season its almost half way over.   Reds fans hoping to catch history in the making with the Yankees in town starting Monday night won't have that chance.  Derek Jeter was put on the 15 day DL.

Now for today music pick of the day is Metallica's "King Nothing" in dishonor of Lebron James, the anointed one by the media.  Who checked out of the NBA Finals at about game 5.  Who better work on his game a little more in the off season, and come back hungrier, meaner and more cerebral in his game.   He ain't Mike that is for sure.  Enjoy and have a good day.
