Parents: Take Junior to See “The Blind Side”

The Dad posted on December 24, 2009 13:23

Take Junior (my term for your BB player) to see the movie, “The Blind Side”. Let me say that again; take Junior to see “The Blind Side”. It will be a great family outing and you will upgrade your recruiting I.Q. in the process. I strongly recommend this family gathering at your local Cinemark, AMC, Loew’s or whatever theater you may choose.. Why? Well, because there are too many capable “coulda’ been”, “woulda’ been” student athletes flipping burgers at McDonald’s. I am not saying that this movie will change that statistic, however it does possess the power to motivate people to change and that CAN make a difference. Read on…

The Dad Comments on The King

The Dad posted on July 07, 2010 16:29

OK. The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. Amare to New York, Dwayne stays in Miami and talks Chris into coming along for the ride. Even Kevin D. decides to pad his bank account with Oklahoma chips before the new collective bargaining agreement reduces BBA salaries.. Now, we can see things a bit clearer:

1) The Cavs, Knicks and the Nets will be looking up in the standings next season.

2) I guess the Russian just did not have enough gold bricks. Or, perhaps an empire state of mind is not all that it’s cracked up to be.

3) Art Modell will move down a slot and become the second most hated man in Cleveland; especially if the Cavs do not receive any sign and trade commodities.

4) Cheers! Chicago, who was intoxicated at the thought of having a King, decided to continue Boozin’ it up. No need to sober up now.

5) A new dynasty is forming in South Beach; they will crown the king soon! Whoops, sorry to spoil the show for you!
