Regardless of your interest in professional basketball or what team you
support, if any, the current NBA finals are great entertainment.

What's worse, the majority of players are about as educated as a dog
chasing
a car. Must be nice to be stupid and a millionaire at the same time.




Wow, I wonder if there is a negative correlation between being a ww and
being a sports fan. Either that or the dyed in the wood sports fans are
keeping a low profile...

Speaking for myself only, this fixation on sports in our culture, and
particularly in our schools, has gotten completely out of hand. Two
dufi, incapable of figuring out that the brim of the cap goes over the
eyes, high fiving each other while emitting grunting sounds because some
other trained dufus is jerk dancing after carrying a ball over a chalk
line in front of 50,000 other dufi, is totally inane, disgusting, a
waste of time, a waste of money, and an abomination.

Come to think of it ... Max is right. I'd rather be forced to watch
Jerry Springer.

Give me a good honest "sport", like boxing. Yeah, that's the ticket!

I want K-1 kickboxing and Muay Thai bouts. Those were truly
hootilicious. It makes prize fighting pale in comparison. Well, 'cept
for Mike Tyson's popcorn bouts. Cook up a batch of popcorn and watch
all of Tyson's fights before you're done with the corn. (Well, the
pre-biting bouts, anyway.) K-1 is one of the very few things I truly
miss from my TV years. They had a dozen or so contestants and the
winners of each pair fought until they had an ultimate winner. Some
guys went through four fights in a row. THAT is Fight Night, guys.

I just found this. We'll see how it is now.

I miss the old guys. Michael McDonald in his gladiator skirt, Remy
Bonjaski with the lightning-fast kicks to the head, Earnest Hoost,
Stefan Leko, Jerome LeBanner. Artists, all.
