JK Show

Take notes Jimmy Fallon.

Carter Vs. Karate Kid (not daniel-sun)

I've mentioned this to a few of the brothers. But the question is, which would u rather be stuck with?
This?

Or this?



Now i've stated that the kid reminds me of what a past mini-moneymaker would be like. Comments/Concerns?

Hoop Dreams


Many of you may already know this, but Steph Curry's little brother, Seth, is going to be a Blue Devil. He led all freshmen with just over 20 a game. Yes, maybe this is the pure scorer that Duke needs. Of course, he will sit out for the upcoming season, but if Singler and Nolan Smith stick around for their Senior seasons ('10-'11), Duke may have what it needs to make a deep run in the tournament. Recruiting has to improve for Coach K and the program, but that's another story that Digger and Bilas can handle.

The tournament has come to a screeching halt in my opinion. With the exception of the 'Nova/Pitt game, there really hasn't been anything to exciting since the 2nd round. A ton of blow outs later and the only thing to hope for is a gigantic UNC/UConn final. These two teams have breezed through their respective regions, and they've been arguably the two most talented teams all season long.

If Calipari leaves for Kentucky, I think he's going to find himself in a position similar to his Memphis job. Conference USA basketball is terrible; SEC basketball is on a steady decline. If he takes the UK job, Calipari will quickly retool Kentucky with some of the best freshmen hoopstars in the country. But, he will still be criticized for running through a weak conference. Maybe at UK, he'll finally win "the big one". He's a great recruiter, but I would like to see him become a great coach.

Early Final Four lines, brought to you by Caesar's Palace:

4/4 6:05 pm
Michigan State
UConn (-4)

4/4 8:45 pm
Villanova
UNC (-7.5)

MSU has had to play way to good for 4 straight games, so I'll give the 4 and take UConn, big.

For me, it's too early to commit to the late game.

P.S. Calipari just took the UK job.

Praying for Coach Deal

I hope everybody will keep Coach Harry Deal in their prayers. He is ICU at St. Joseph. Coach is a B.C. legend, and one of my grandfather's best friend. I hope you pull through Harry Deal.

Tiger is back!

Yesterday, Tiger won his first event this year and his first since title since he has been back from knee surgery. His last event that he won was the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. His win now adds to the excitement heading into the season's first major, The Masters. With Woods claiming victory for a sixth time at the Arnold Palmer Invitational(formerly the Bay Hill Classic), and Phil and Geoff Olgivy having both won twice this year; the intensity levels should be extremely high. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will be the two odds-on- favorites to win, but there will be some other guys to look after.

Tiger's Statistics at the Masters: 4 wins in 12 appearances as a pro (1997,2001,2002,2005). 9 top 10's and has placed 2nd twice(2007,2009)

Phil Mickelson's Statistics at the Masters: 2 wins in 15 appearances as a pro (2004,2006) 11 top 10's and 6 top 3's finishes.

Both men were low ametuers in the tournament: Tiger(1995) and Phil(1991).

According to Vegasinsider.com the odds for them to win the Masters: Tiger 2/1, Phil 10/1, the field 5/2.

Tiger, Phil, and Vijay, and Mike Weir are the only men ranked in the top 20 in the World Golf rankings to win the Masters. Tiger(1), Phil(2), Vijay(6), Mike Weir(19).

Players to contend in my opinion.:

1) Rory McIlroy

2) Retief Goosen

3) Henrik Stenson

4) Geoff Olgivy

5) Ernie Els

Top Ranked Players( in the Top 20 World Golf Rankings) to miss the cut in my opinion:

1) Vijay Singh

2) Anthony Kim

3) Kenny Perry

4) Adam Scott

5) Steve Stricker

Question: Will Greg Norman make the cut yes/no? No.

Who will win: I am taking Mickelson because he is starting to drive the ball straighter, his iron game is good, and his short game is immaculate.

"The Promise"

Now, as a Gators fan, I thought the speech was awesome and I really have to give my thanks to Ole' Miss. That sparked the fire that would send the Gators to the National Championship. However, displaying this in this fasion is gay. One, they shouldn't of put it up while Tebow is still there. Two, it's named The Promise. Three, I think it's more of a contemporary speech. I wonder if 10 years down the road we here this speech and know where it originated.

Some Thoughts and Facts


Well, I sure hope Cadet Lawrence had a good birthday and congrats go out to Joey as well for getting into school. Only 51 more weeks til next St. Patrick's Day, this past one was awesome. Las Vegas was badass and I really want to go back again. Lots of silicone in that city which was great. Oh I did my first webchat in Vegas. Donnie had it set up on his computer and we talked to Schiv. He had to study tort law.


Some things I learned in Vegas:

1).I eat more that anyone I know, and I am going to be obese one day.

2).Shane really likes Pai Gow Poker, and I still do not understand it but hopefully I will.

3).P-Mac will get up really early to place some bets at the sports book.

4).Donnie really loves Nathan's Famous Hotdogs. This fine dining place was at MGM Grand, and Donnie really enjoyed his meal. The rest us only had McDonalds. Ask him about it

5). I only play blackjack well when Donnie and I are at the same table.
6).Unlike the rest of the country, Las Vegas is not hurting economically.
Other stuff:
Charlie Weis decided to call plays from the sidelines. I like Notre Dame, but I a hope they fire the man at the end of the season.
Tiger defends at Bay Hill this week a place, which is Arnold Palmer's Tournament. He has won 5 times: 2000,2001,2002,2003,2008.
I will be doing a Master's Bracket, $5 buy in. winner take all.

Happy Birthday Larry

Have a good birthday dude!

Heck Yes

My quest to "get mine" has taken a surprising and favorable turn. MCG gave me a call and said, 'yes' to which I responded 'ummm yes'. I never saw this jive coming which now makes me believe my days of saying stuff like "jive" are almost up. I'll do my best to grow up, but I'm not making any promises just yet.

My job has taught me quite a few things; People get hurt doing some retarded things, feet are nasty, professionalism often comes at a premium, and contrary to popular belief, proper grammar will never go out of style -- just to point out a few. I cannot put a value upon the many tools I will possess when I walk away from the SOC. Tell me this friends, an 80 yr old rips a less than discreet poot, can you mask your laughter seamlessly with a cough? No, you can't, but I can. I've got some way badass gems to tell, but I plan to start sharpening my professionalism trait right after this next paragraph.

Some will say, "Hey, at least the hard part is over. You got in!" And to that I say, "Hey, shut the fuck up." Not one bit of the next 3 years is going to be easy. I have sat through too many interviews, and told too many people how awesome I am for this shit to be a cakewalk. Bring on the hard shit because I'm ready to be one of the smart kids.

To all of the supporter, appreciate it -- well I guess half accomplished.

To the haters, got em.

Congrats J-O-Vicious

The long hard road of applying to Physical Therapy school has finally led Joey to Augusta a.k.a. Disgusta. It was a hard fought battle and Joey came out on top. (As usual-thats what she said.) Good luck Joey and you will be missed from the city of Savannah for a short while and without you The Doctors Hospital of Tattnall will be a little more quiet.
