Waiting for the weekend

With the final four this weekend, course it is one of the biggest sports weekends of the year, but there are some things to watch before the weekend begins. The NIT semis last night, wasn't too bad, as PSU and Baylor will be playing in the finals on Thursday, it should be a good game. Baseball starts Sunday night, and then a full schedule of games on opening day on Monday, also when the national title game is. That may be one of the best sporting days of the year. Tonight we have the Mcd's all American game. Which is usually very entertaining and it is always a nice chance to watch the future stars of college right now. I am hoping very much that next year, someone that I coach will be playing in the game. He is good enough that is for sure, I guess it all depends on being hyped the right way to get there. But I am looking forward to the game tonight. I will quickly talk about a few other sports stories that are going on right now.


-coach Cal going to Ken, this isn't too surprising I don't really know too many people that would turn down over 30 million dollars over 8 years. Ken is a little down the last few years, but with UCLA, Kansas, UNC, and maybe even Indiana, those are still the top 5 jobs as far as basketball schools and the rich history and tradition they have. IU will be back, after getting a new coach last year, and of course the other 3 are still big time players. It will be interesting to see if that entire class that he had coming to Memphis, which was very good, included the top recruit by some, will follow him to Ken. He also is kind of known for getting those big name players, and giving their dad, uncle, cousin, or brother, a job on his staff, with some good money, it will be interesting if he does the same thing in Ken. Since some things that you can get away with in conference usa, cause it's conference USA, and who really cares, you may not be able to get away with in the SEC. Time will tell, I am sure he will do fine on the court, and depending on if Paterson and Meeks comes back, they would be very good next year.

-Cutler will be traded now- after a few weeks of trade me, no we are not going to, Denver has finally admitted that they can't have Cutler has their Qb. So before his first preseason even begins the new coach runs out the franchise qb, who is only 25 and is coming off a pro bowl. Nice job. The Lions, Bears, Jets and Bucks have all expressed interest already. I would think the Viks might want to get in on it to. There were also reports that the Skins were also interested. No matter where he goes he would help any of those teams right away. If the Lions got him, they could win maybe 5 games next year, and in that division, maybe even 6. I don't think they will because that would actually make their team better, and I don't know if they would want that.

-Donate is going to go to jail- Donate Stallworth will be tried for DUI manslaughter in the case that lead to a man dieing. Basically he is going to jail and playing in the NFL again is the least of his worries. One, you were drunk, two you were driving, and three, someone died, that's not good. I would be shocked if he doesn't serve at least a year, and he should serve more.

-Two men died at Vilma's condo- He wasn't there, and he has been trying to sell it, since he says 2007, but it is just not a good thing to be involved with. Even if he had nothing to do with it, and I hope he didn't, it still doesn't look good, because if it happened there, that means maybe someone in his family did do it, or had something to do with it.

-We have to wait some more- Plex was in and out of court yesterday in like 15 minutes, and they pushed back his trial to June. This tells me they are going to try as hard as they can to get a deal, and for this case never to go to trial. I like Plex and I have for a very long time, being a MSU boy, then being a Giant, but I will wait for this to play it's course. I would love to say that the Giants don't need him, but they kind of showed they do. Unless they get a Bolden or someone like that, they need him, just as much as he needs them.

That's it for now, looking forward to the weekend very much, and the game tonight. I'm right, you're wrong.
