Final Thoughts from a "Bitter" P1

July 2, 2006.Reading time 4 minutes.

Thanks to Gordon Keith and Bob and Dan putting the link on their blogs. Bob and Dan’s blog called me a “bitter P1.” However, even as they change out much of the other info on their blog, they’ve kept the link to my post on their main page for well over a week. Soooo, methinks […]

Wade was Treated Differently (And it Made a Difference)

June 24, 2006.Reading time 7 minutes.

You can’t come to any other conclusion, if you look at the facts. I’ve supplied some video evidence to that end. But some folks still insist on claiming that “there were probably just as many bad calls against the Heat.” That’s possible. But I don’t care to look it up, because I don’t have to. […]

Wow, Did I Touche A Nerve (Thoughts a Day Later)

June 23, 2006.Reading time 9 minutes.

What a day for my little blog… Yesterday, I posted these clips from Game 6 of the Mavs/Heat series. And throughout the day I was inundated with hits to my site. As of this writing, more than 9,300 visted the site yesterday. To put that in some perspective, I usually get between 2,000 and 4,000 […]

Final Score: Mavs 92 Heat 88 (Or that’s what it should have been, and here’s the video to prove it)

June 22, 2006.Reading time 9 minutes.

Update, June 23: OK…another update…. Due to the high traffic caused by these clips, I’ve moved them over to youtube.com. You can still get to them by clicking on the links below, as before, but you’ll be redirected to the clip at youtube. We’re just getting dangerously close to our bandwidth capacity for the month, […]

We Were Robbed

June 21, 2006.Reading time 1 minute.

The NBA finals have just ended. And the Mavericks were robbed. I know, you expect a fan like me to say such things. But it’s absolutely true. Dennise and I counted no less than four times when Dwyane Wade drew “phantom fouls” from Maverick players. I’m talking four times when the Mav players didn’t even […]

Finals

June 11, 2006.Reading time 2 minutes.

I know I said no more entries until mid-June. However, I THINK I’ve got the iBlog situation taken care of. And, by mid-June, the NBA Finals will be mostly over and I’ll have lost my one chance to lay down my prediction. Since I’ve been doing so well in my predictions so far this (NCAA […]

Taking Stock of Bonds

March 14, 2006.Reading time 12 minutes.

A couple of years back, a funny commercial ran all throughout baseball season. It featured Barry Bonds taking batting practice by himself, in a virtually empty San Francisco ballfield. Between every crack of the bat, you could hear a ghostly voice whisper over the PA system: Barry…it’s time for you to go…it’s time for you […]

Buck O’Neil

March 2, 2006.Reading time 4 minutes.

Mar/01/2006 08:08 AM Filed in: HSOs from a Bitter P1 Like many folks, I didn’t really know of Buck before the famous Ken Burn’s documentary. But after that aired, it felt like Buck was an old friend. Buck lives in Kansas City, and has been a champion for the players of the old Negro League […]

Getting Priorities Straight (Mike Holmgren and hs wife remind us about what’s important)

February 6, 2006.Reading time 5 minutes.

Before the game gets going in a little while, I wanted to post this story that I just read about. This is the kind of story I love to hear about, and it makes all the hype and bs of the day fade away for me for a moment….maybe it will for you too. Here’s […]

Aw Vince…what’s your hurry? Couldn’t you give us a week to gloat?

January 8, 2006.Reading time 4 minutes.

So, the news comes out this afternoon that Vince Young will go pro. I’m already here sick at home with no voice, and so this does not help my mood. So now, all the Aggies, Sooners, Red Raiders, etc are leaping for joy believing that they’ll have a shot next year. Couldn’t we have had […]
