Back to the WXYC Show...
The whirlwind tour is over for now...San Francisco, New York City, Chicago...Let's see where the path leads us right?...
Well, I'm back on the air tonight at WXYC SportsRap FM 89.3, and we should have a lot of Armstrong stuff for the show tonight. In the meantime, check out a few of these great articles for tonight's show.
1.) Larry Brown headed to the Knicks? - Check out this great article by Chris Sheridan of the AP in today's Raleigh N&O. My opinion is that this deal has been long done in Brown's mind, and Brown just needs his usual coaxing and back-rubbing from management to convince him of the deal...I also believe that he's taking a break from the past season before he jumps in full-fray at the job next week.
So, don't be surprised at the courting process...This type of dance and foreplay has gone on in every one of his spots from Denver, to UCLA, to New Jersey, to KU, to San Antonio and even Chapel Hill...To me, this is was old back in Lawerence...It also brings me back to all of the dram that has consistently followed his hirings since the early 80s with his courtships at UCLA...Just get it over with...
2.) Urban Meyer, Showing how it's done in Florida - Urban Meyer has done an incredible job at all of his spots, and yes that includes his performance at Notre Dame as an assistant. Well, he's doing an tremendous job of righting the direction for the football program at the University of Florida.
Check out this great article by Pete Thamel in Sunday's New York Times...If you're an innovative managemer or if you're a coach setting the direction of a program, this could be a solid article for you. Meyer has instituted a 'Champion's Club' that outfits players with clothing and privileges for class attendance, on-field effort, nad off-field behavior, and he's instituted a very cool academic program through internal recognition.
Nice stuff happening in Gainesville...
3.) Lance Leaves a Unique Legacy - John Henderson penned a great story on the legacy of Lance Armstrong today in the Denver Post....Remember when you rank Lance Armstrong among your greatest athlete ranks that he should be listed as the greatest cyclist of the world's greatest cycling event.
He has won 90 races while Eddy Merckx won 530 races with 5 Tour de France's...Yes, Lance has the most dramatic story of all-time, but watch where you rank him in terms of overall records among cyclists.
Regardless, his story is nothing less than remarkable...
***Watching the HBO replay of last week's Taylor/Hopkins fight...What a fight...Jermain Taylor brought it home, and he showed a ton of guts. One prop that I don't think a lot of people is the amount of due to Taylor's cut-man, who staved off a very deep forehead cut that bled profusely from mid-fight on...Give the Taylor team a tremendous amount of due with this fight...Now will someone please keep former Bernard Hopkins manager and current Taylor manager, Lou DiBella strapped to his seat and behind a curtain?
