Tipping things off with the Men of Thunder...who took to the home hardwood last night looking to snap a little 2 game streak of suckage...but the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony got 'em AGAIN...knocking down the game winning shot with 5 seconds to play, leading to a VERY tough 1 point loss!
Up next...it's Portland here on Friday night, then Sacramento on Sunday.
As for the kids on campus...the 2nd ranked Coach Capel and his Crew rolled out the red carpet for Texas A&M last night...and thee Aggies gave 'em all they wanted...but a 17-1 OU run got the good guys out of the gym with a 77-71 win improving them to (22-1) ...the best start in school history. They'e also unbeaten and (8-0) at the halfway point of the Big 12 schedule. Colorado's up next for a beatdown at thee LNC on Saturday.
Checking in with our pals from upta Eskimo Joe's...as I told you yesterday..Pistol Pete and Company had a "must win" situation in hand last ngiht with Texas Tech in town at thee Iba...and the Cowboys took care of bi'ness....eeeking one out over Texas Tech with a good news final of 81-80. The win gets 'em to (3-4) in the league heading into road games at Kansas and Texas. A split in those 2 games would be HUGE!!
Dribbling on to the ladies, OSU's 25th ranked Cowgirls...are home with the Puke Orange Bev-ettes tonight.
Passing the pipe...
let's check in with with today's episode of ..As The Bong Turns...as Swimming's governing body has praised Michael Phelps for his public apology of the "hit" heard round the world, saying, "As a citizen, Michael Phelps displayed inappropriate behavior. But his sincere regret and the promise that such a situation will not happen again are sufficient guarantees that this great star will continue generating respect and appreciation to all fans of our sport around the globe." Lemme ask you this? Have you ever gotten caught doing something stupid, apologized, and then had so many people say what a great person you are??? I sure hope that if I ever get in a bar-room brawl and break a chair over somebody's head and then say, "Yeah, I did it..but I was drunk, so I'm really sorry"...that I get a key to the City!! I MEAN!!!! Checking the gridiron of glory...National Letter of Intent Singing day is over with...so, we'll see how the kids do when they get to campus. A bunch of 'em are already there in Norman, so, we'll be able to get a look at them when Spring Practice begins, March 3rd.
Moving on to thee NFL...the "Once-mighty Silver and Black", Oakland RAYYY-DUHHSS...have decided on Tom Cable as their head coach next season. Beyond next year, who the heck knows, because Al Davis is old and crazy. But, I'm cool with this guy stickin' around, because once he took over, he ended the season with 2 straight wins and three of their last six. I'm gonna go out on a limb right now and say that they are NEXT YEAR'S Arizona Cardinals. They may not make it to the Super Bowl, but will be back in the playoffs. But then again, I'm a crack-headed Raider fan and think we're gonna win it all every year! Cable is the Raiders fifth head coach since 2003. I said DANG!
And finally...speaking of CRACK HEADS...did you guys catch the story out of New York yesterday that the Yankees have been quietly (and I mean VERY quietly) negotiating a sponsorship deal with Bank of America for the new Yankee Stadium. They were close to a deal in September that would have approached the $20 million a year the Mets are getting from Citigroup. And normally...this wouldn't be that big a deal...but if you've been paying any attention AT ALL...Bank of America, got $45 billion in federal bailout money, and they've already been under fire for sponsoring a five-day fanfest leading up to the Super Bowl. They responded to people freaking out about that ...saying they were just honoring a deal signed months before the bailout. Really???
Are you kidding me??? Somebody needs to go to JAIL over this!!!! The government didn't give you that money so you could just KEEP spending money like a drunken sailor!!!! Screw the Yankees! They just spent 423.5 million dollars on feee agents this offseason!!!
I'm tellin' ya...somebody in D.C. needs to be gettin' involved, and I mean NOW!!!! Because that's TAXPAYER money...not Monopoly money!!
