Things We Learned From this Weekend

The Atlanta Braves really suck on the road....


Once again, the Braves proved that they are a bad baseball team away from the friendly confines of Turner Field. The recent 6 game road trip turned out 5 losses and 1 win. After winning 1 in Milwaukee, the Braves were swept over the weekend by the Cincinnati Reds. It has to be a mental thing. No hitting........no pitching..........just losses. Maybe the Braves can petition Major League Baseball to play all remaining games..........in the ATL.



The NBA.....never learns........

The NBA final 2 teams were determined Friday night.......The Lakers and Celtics. Great match up..........but...........The NBA is making us wait until Thursday for game 1. Why? Don't they realize, this is summer time. People have options. There are lakes to fish, beaches to roam, barbecues to tend to, etc. The interest was there. Why not take advantage of the hype? I just don't get it.



Odell Thurman hasn't learned either.....

In a not so surprising turn of events, Odell has been suspended, again, by the NFL for substance abuse. That sound you hear is Thurmans' career coming to a screeching halt. The Cincinnati Bengals had already released the former Georgia Bulldog star linebacker. Now , no team in their right mind will risk signing him........Oh well, there is aways,,,,,,,the Arena League.


Kimbo Slice........blew his opportunity........

Mr. Slice was given a prime time opportunity to show his MMA skills........The opponent was hand picked. CBS was televising the event live. And in the end, Kimbo just looked like a tired old man who escaped defeat because the referee stopped the fight. With all the pre-fight hype regarding Slice.........he came across as a major disappointment.
