An article on FoxSports.com just got used to clean up dog poop after it foolishly picked the wrong quarterback to start for Colorado come the opener.
Hey, the Black and Gold Truth originally had its' money on JUCO Johnny too but that was before spring break where the light started shining from a different man under center, an Idaho gunslinger named Hawkins. Cody Hawkins.
The same story says former Colorado prep Taylor Tharp will emerge from the back to start at Boise State, replacing Jared Zabransky.
Quick, tell me, who is Demetrius Jones?
Quite possibly the starter at QB at Notre Dame instead of mega-recruit Jimmy Clausen.
Smooth picks on future Hall of Famer
Former CU star guard Chauncey Billups, Mr. Big Shot, must not be Italian.
He has no freakin' manners, no freakin' respect.
Friday, he hosted revered point guard Jason Kidd and showed him up by dropping 32 points and 14 assists in the game. Kidd put a good night's work in getting 10 points, eight rebounds and nine assists but likely left the building with a vendetta on his mind after his team lost 110-105 to Detroit.
Them other guys
So, who is this Kevin Durant guy who just keeps piling up awards? He must good, no? But from what I read, he's just another run-of-the-mill, generic scoring forward who is clueless on defense. I'm sure if we look hard enough, we'll find someone who will label him overrated. You know that season-long domination, well, hey, it ain't no big thang'. The boy was just chucking it up there against chumps from a chump conference.
The Backyard
Could the Denver Nuggets, guys getting paid, at least try to play some defense? Yes, Phoenix has one impressive offensive engine but allowing them to shoot a double nickel from the field in a rout over the homeboys Friday was just too much.
That should earn the Nuggets a fine for tanking it, as in they skated.
Carmelo Anthony showed up with 32 points, 10 rebounds and five assists and Nene keeps it rolling, laying it down with 18 points and nine rebounds but Allen Iverson, while scoring 26 points, had but one assist. Marcus Camby did have a double-double. So, numbers-wise, the Nuggets looked good as individuals but no defense and no passing and Denver might as well be playing Colorado in the Big 12. That's about as good as they looked against the Suns.
If the Nuggets were the New York Yankees and Stan Kroenke was George Steinbrenner, George Karl and Mark Warkentien would soon be considered "exports."
Not saying that's the move this general manager would make but in New York, accountability is something leadership faces on an annual basis.
BGT Morning News
Have to say, I'm a little surprised that some Air Force coach got blanked in the voting for coach of the year. That said, Tony Bennett was deserving as anyone for flying the Cougars to the moon.
I know you listen to me, well, once in a while, right? But this is for the rock heads who don't listen -- Billy Donovan will not leave Florida for Kentucky. What would be the motivation? He has better weather, has already won it all once in Gainesville, has a shot to repeat, can recruit against the best, and the Gators will get whatever cash Donovan thinks he needs to feel loved. The media on this story bore me.
One of my favorite players from an opposing school was the great Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma. Big smile, big game, unbelievable talent out of the gate. Now, news is he has cancer. So happy he went tumbling and broke his leg. Prayers to the Sooner big fella and his family. You're going to make it and score big again in this life with your story. Once spoke to the jazz musician on a talk show years ago and will say this, the man is a gentleman with an easy way about him and a sense of humor.
Here's an academic freak show for you, courtesy of, yes, Georgetown. Now someone has to be red-faced or red-ass over this one. Someone also either caught or will catch some major heat, a real dressing down now the story has gone public. An embarrassment for the basketball program and a fine institution of higher learning.
Going to make another run on the Micheal Ray Richardson story -- where the ex-Colorado prep just got ambushed by the national media. What, is there no forgiveness amongst you? Never did anything you regret? Did you ever have a need for forgiveness? Was it granted? Richardson's comments to the press were loose and awkward. There were not intended to hurt others. They were not Marge Schott, John Rocker or Michael Richards (Seinfeld) ugly. Yet, the vultures are swirling over Richardson like he's a corpse. Funny how those offended in this life often are uglier in behavior than the words that seemingly wreck their self esteem. Disgraceful.
I see where some are making Michael Jordan -- Kobe Bryant comparisons, so hey, let the Big Dog in too. Here it is -- skills wise, both were/are superlative. Give me Bryant on range on the jump shot and fluidity to his game but I'll take MJ on overall dominance, the ability to drive the ball and score, rebounding, passing, defense, the will to win, the ability to lift others and get them to do what was necessary for victory, and oh yeah, all that freakin' hardware. Dude also was one of the best money players when it counted in sports history. Love Bryant's game even if he is a phony as a person but Jordan is the one I want for one game with the house bet on it. Yeah, that's my final answer. Look at my smile. I'm so ready to cash in and take the cheddar from all those Kobe-lovers.
Uh-oh. Divorce, bad. Vindictive wife or soon-to-be ex-Cruella, worse. Someone screwed up in a big, big way, either being nasty or cheating. And now comes the dreaded hammer on this dude's life. Judgment day. His patience, nerves and balls will be tested in a big way. And who knew? After all, her dad is a such a cool guy, easy going and all, you know?
And now, the award for Winner of the Day goes to....Lionel Gates. Going to be hard to argue all that "fun" in a court room but hey, he's an athlete so I'm sure a little talkin' of the green will put the fire out. Just a good thing Gates doesn't live in Venezuela like Ugueth Urbina, where crime actually gets prosecuted.
The final flurry
Who we need more of in the stands at CU basketball games. This guy, too, as this is where it starts but we need to make sure these types never become our neighbors.
I tried to hard to get this gig but you know how things go -- politics. Then attempted to create this on a Friday night once in a bar but it didn't quite play out the same. Good news, no injuries. For the girls, at least.
