I know it seems like a silly question right ? I mean most valuable should mean just that, which player holds the most VALUE ? Not whose the best player in the league, Kobe right now, not whose the best player on the best team, K.G., and definitely not whose the been the best player over the years to never win it, Kobe again. However you define MVP please limit it to this year, career achievements means nothing when discussing THIS years MVP. (more…)

Ok so I haven’t had the chance to dissect the brackets like I normally do since I have been sick as all hell the last 2 days, normally I fill out like 62 different brackets I look at them all and decided to mix and match and see what ones I feel more comfortable with. Well this year I filled out 1 wrote a post and then got deathly ill, OK maybe not deathly ill but it sure felt like it. So this morning when I wake up and I feel a little bit better, meaning I can actually stand up on my own power and I can think semi clearly I decided to start rapid fire picking my brackets so I can hurry up and make the deadlines in all the pools I’d be entering. Well apparently the Flu = no balls ( pause of course ) as for some reason I have very few upsets this year. At first this hurt my soul, whats the fun in this if not for picking the upsets ? But the more I looked the less reasons I could find to pick some, I mean yeah I could pick just to pick upsets but the idea is also to be right. Well this year it seems the selection committee decided to take the fun out of the tournament by placing to many of the sleepers to either match up early ( Butler, South Alabama ) or match up against the elite seeds way too early. ( Davidson against Georgetown in the 2nd round ) Are they trying to make it so all # 1 and # 2 seeds advance and what the deal with giving UCLA a damn near free pass to the final four, now I see why everyone is picking them to win it all, it’s by far the safest bet because they have by far the safest road.

Finally you got the best/ most exciting sporting event ever created the NCAA tournament aka The Big Dance bka March Madness. (more…)

* This is merely a tribute to the greatest TV show in the history of TV, and honestly is more for the people who haven’t seen the show or seen every last episode they ever aired. If my greatest accomplishment in life is making EVERYONE watch ” The Wire ” than I will die a happy man. There will be no spoilers in this post for those who have yet to see the finale or those who have never watched it, I hope here I can start to change your mind, as I think every person on earth should watch this show, as it is about much more than you can possibly image, ” The Wire ” is indeed real. * (more…)
