Your sports thoughts for the day

[determined4000]

1. Stand Van Gundy is an idiot
NBA superstar vs Coach-->superstar undefeated

2. No Big names at the top of the Master's leaderboard

3. Bulls beat C's w/o Rose
Can we skip straight to the conference finals in the East

4. Sox will regret not signing Papelbon
Didn't want to give him 12.5mil/year but pay Crawford 20+, Becket 15+, Lackey 15+, DiceK 19+ (including posting fee)

1. I love what Stan did. He's gone either way so why should he care if it creates a circus. Howard is terrified of looking like the bad guy, hence why he stayed. Stan called him out on his BS and now he can't sit there and deny it anymore. I say good for Van Gundy.

2. No worries, it's not even the weekend yet. Westwood is good though. Plenty of guys still in striking distance.

3. Bulls do seem to play well without Rose. It'll be interesting to see how the dynamics change when he finally gets back. He's a scoring point guard so more guys tend to get involved when he's out. Hopefully that will translate to him having a little more help come playoff time.

4. Papelbon is good and I think they'll miss him no matter who they sign to fill the void.

Going OT, but I'm just stoked the Rabbitohs won against the dogs today!

I'll second that. It was a good win. And it's a very rare occasion that I'll support the bunnies. (No offence!)

But the coach stealing Bulldogs can friggen bite me.

haha no offence taken mate, I'm used to it "

It was a great win. Other than a few stupid mistakes towards the end, they were brilliant (they tightened up their defence big time, which has been their weakest point by far).

And second that re: dessie (the k***), I hate the dogs with a passion (I almost end up punching on with their fans every time I go to one of their games v the rapists).

sigh @ Petrino. horsing around with an engaged woman half his age.

4. No sense overspending on a closer (unless he's MO and he means more to the team than the final 3 outs). If Bailey didn't get hurt this would be a non-issue. Alceves and/or Melancon will be fine. Closers, and (lights out) relievers in general come from no where every year.

1. I am so fking tired of the Orlando Magic and all their bull$hit.
2. I like that, but I have to admit that I also enjoy watching Sunday Tiger near the top. Either way the masters is the best golf tournament of the year.
3. Bring on Miami. A healthy Bulls team has a chance. I'm willing to drop a few hundred on a playoff ticket but I don't know that it'll be enough.
4. Theo Epstein is overrated as a GM - the team north of mine will find that out very soon.

[psychodiver9]

I hope we swing it tonight. A 3 hour bustrip sucks after a loss

cherington didn't resign paps and traded for bailey.

Oh I know. I was referring in general to the other big signings. Crawford and DiceK were terrible Theo signings.

Won't argue there....but they look good from here in NY. lol

Lakers will be 2012 champs.

Van Gundy tells it like it is. Respect.

That is all

[anonymous]

i'm all about SVG
"who is your source"
"I WORK HERE"

dwight is a d-bag and i'm tired of his crap. goofy POS, i hope he ends up in brooklyn with no D-Wil(he's going to dallas, guaranteed) and lives in the shadow of melo/amare/chandler/lin
4th banana mofvvcka. he makes lebron likeable

The only sport I watch is MMA

So I'm pretty pissed that Ubereem failed his drug test, I've been looking forward to that fight since he retired Brock and the UFC made it official.

I know a guy whose brother is an MBA ref. Said Howard is biggest baby in nba

Howard also gets hacked... a lot. Howard is still a young guy and he has a pretty loose personality. I think he'd do well if he was paired up with another veteran star who could help him a little with his personality.

I don't think it is really fair to judge what Howard did or didn't do when we have almost no details. If the management approached him and asked him if he'd stay if Van Gundy was gone and he said yes, then is there something wrong with that? No, imo. The whole circus he created was pretty ridiculous, but if they asked and he said he'd want to play for someone else then is that really that bad? Even Magic Johnson demanded a coaching change and it paid off. Although, I've never been a Van Gundy fan(either of them).

I like Reem but he put the "dumb" in front of "fuk" with that one.

1. SVG just took Paul Pierce's nickname. He is now known as Stan "The Truth" Van Gundy.
2. If I'm not hammered at a country club, gold doesn't concern me
3. Bulls look good playing that sort of Hoosier Ball. But in crunch time, they'll put it in Rose's hands and let him iso against LBJ. Big mistake, saw it last year.
4. RANGERS 1-0! Maybe we'll get another couple "one strike away" chances again this year.

[Ion26]

1. Dwight Howard is a little bitch. His post play still sucks...

2. Hopefully Tiger makes a run

3. Go Thunder

4. Doesn't matter. Yankees forever.

[ErickStevens]

Go Tiger!

Is it football season yet?

[2445ricardo]

The Dodgers are on pace to go 162-0, and Matt Kemp is on pace to hit .400 w/ 162 HR and 486 RBIs.

Isiah fired as Florida International coach
says he was the most "surprising" thing of basketball career

More surprising will be if some1 else hires him

easy to say #4 now that Madson is injured. But its arguable that Madson is just as good as Papelbon and was had at a cheaper price.

Sports thoughts for the day: Hopefully the Warriors keep losing, Demarcus Cousins is definitely right about Griffin being babied by the entire NBA, could the Grizzlies be NBA contenders?

[determined4000]

could the Grizzlies be NBA contenders?

Don't see them winning a title.
Making it to the Western semis, yes.
Power Rankings
1. heat
2. Bulls
3. Thunder
4. Lakers
5. Spurs

You need a big time star (most of the time multiple) to win in the NBA and Memphis doesnt have one. Only team in history (practically) to win without a top-5 or so player, was the Pistons. But even they had the Defensive POY, and a top PG. Marc Gasol isnt a superstar talent.

[determined4000]

1. Go PHIL! Shove it in Tiger's face

2. HAHAHA Josh Becket!

3. Jamie Moyer allows HR to a player who wasn't even born when he made his MLB debut

[hamworld05]

How do some guys move so ****ing quick and manage to suck at sprints?

Aka Isaiah Thomas, and Corey Joseph. Fuk their quickness.

[determined4000]

Happy to see Bubba win
Happier to see Tiger struggle and kick his clubs like the brat he is

Daring prediction: Not only will Tiger no match Jack, he won't win ANY more Majors.

14 different Major winners in last 14 Majors

Darvish was shaky, but luckily the Rangers still have the best offense in baseball
