TCOB
Man, where have I been...Well I've been "TCOB" with graduation week on the agenda...My apologies are due for not feeding you those delicacies, but here's a few before we jump on WXYC's 'SportsRap' at 9PM EST tonight....
***Maybe I'm too hyped up from this week's Sports Illustrated cover article featuring Karl Taro Greenfield's "insider" portrayal of the Raid-dahs! new nation member, Randy Moss.
But I dug this article by Andrew Perloff of SI.com...Check it out here...He suggests that Moss could become the greatest wide receiver ever, and Moss does have the stats to prove it. However, even though he has given life to Randall Cunningham, Duante Culpepper, and even Chad Pennington at Marshall, I don't know if a QB corps of Kerry Collins, Marques Tuiasosopo and Andrew Walter is going to be able feed Moss the ball.
Don't forget Moss is just one of the cast of superheroes now...He's not the lone wacko on this team...Keep a watch on how he settles in with the Raiders? Especially, when they're .500 after Week 10.
***It's got to be the 'Nats...Despite a torrid start, David Ginsburg of the AP reports that attendance is down in Camden Yards this year...Check it out here...The knee-jerk reaction is because of the emergence of the trendy Nationals, who are only 40 Miles away.
Yet, has anyone realized that Peter Angelos has been such a "blah" owner that people may have fallen for the underdog Nationals?
***Great article on Coach Dean Smith from John Railey of the Winston Salem Journal...Check it out here...This time he's golfing for a great cause in Winston on behalf of Crosby Scholar Program that helps 3,000 students prepare for college life. The tournament was put in place by UNC the benevolent power broker, Paul Fulton.
It's good to see that Coach Smith is using his influence to move political agendas for the benefit of the public good...Keep it up.
***Don't sweat Shavlik Randolph going pro...He's not only seeing where his stock lies with NBA front offices, but you also have to keep in mind that if he gets invited to the NBA's Pre-Draft Camp in Chicago, he'll have gain a tremendous amount of experience playing against players, who will be playing like 'raw-dogs' to get to the next level.
Not only a bad idea to get some exposure, but also some much needed experience that he's lost due to injuries at Duke.
***With every college basketball player with the slightest nudge of a family member or neighborhood friend telling him to go pro, I thought this was a cool picture from the Raleigh News & Observer today....
As much as everyone in the Triangle and the rest of the surrounding ACC territories hates Julius Hodge, it's very refreshing to see this picture of him in a cap and gown at the RBC Center...It's also good to see the honoring of one of my favorite ACC ball-players in the past two decades....I hope he lands with the right team in the L. I think the Bronx product is a winner.
