Study or write about sports?


While everybody I know is studying for finals, I decided to write about how insane the past week in sports have been. Yeah sure I should maybe study for my Alcohol and Drugs final, but lets be honest I know alcohol pretty well. Don't judge me, just read about sports because they are more awesome than studying.Little of the action this week occurred on the field, other than the Xavier Cincinnati fight, which was EPIC. I am clearly picking the Musketeers to make a run in the tourney. You can't go wrong picking a bunch of gangsters. Also TEBOW created another miracle, hopefully it continues next sunday against the Patriots. It could be tough though since the GRONK will have a few KABOOM spikes.
The three biggest stories though have to be Pujols, Braun, and Chris Paul. I could also add in RG III, Sid the Kid, coaches getting the axe. Christ so much went down. My head is about to explode maybe that's why I'm blogging.
I'll go baseball first. Albert Pujols leaving the Cardinals was shocking. I always thought he would be the Derek Jeter of the NL. But I guess when a team gives you $254 million dollars you have to say yes. The Angels are going to be a tough team to beat but championships aren't given away during the offseason. Just ask the Sox or Phillies about that one. Now to the Hammerin' Hebrew or the Jew Brew or Ryan Braun. Upsetting news that he was using performing enhancing drugs last season. I want to believe it was a mistake, but I don't. Braun adds a long list of steroid users no matter how hard he tries to deny it. I think the MLB has to revote for the NL MVP, especially since Matt Kemp deserved the award from the beginning.
NBA time, the entire Chris Paul situation is a joke. I truly believe David Stern is the worst commissioner in sports. There is no reason a league should own a team. The Hornets would have gotten a great deal with the Lakers. Not equal value to Chris Paul but he's leaving after this year and then the Hornets get nothing. The entire NBA is flawed. The marquee players control the teams. Dwight Howard and Chris Paul control where they want to go and the teams basically have no say. The rich keep getting richer. I'm not really complaining because I'd rather watch Heat vs Lakers than Bobcats vs T'wolves.
I forgot to add, enjoy the Monday Night Football game. Nothing gets me pumped up like watching the 2-10 Rams play the 5-7 Seahawks. Who's idea was it to put this game on Monday Night?
