NBA a 1 conference league?: There is a big fuss being made about the lack of good teams in the eastern conference. I seem to be the only one who knew the east was not going to be that good. As of Tuesday night the east has two teams (Heat, Pacers) with a record .500 and better, and one team (Hawks) at .500. But if you look at the east before the season started they only had four maybe five teams who was real contenders for the title anyway. The Heat, Pacers are the best in the conference the Bulls are playing the season without Rose again. The Nets are going through a slew of injuries themselves having Deron Williams, Jason Terry,Paul Pierce, Brook Lopez, Andrei Kirilenko all out at the same time at one point this season. Winning two in a row and getting Williams back should get them back on track. The only team I'm worried about is the Knicks they can't seem to get back to playing like they was last year. Missing Tyson Chandler has hurt but so has been the lack of ball movement and the lack of inside play. Other then those teams everybody else was on a "if everything goes right" gameplan. So in my eyes the east is right where I expected them to be .
_ allas is missing their D: Usually in the month of December and January when you say the Dallas Cowboys are struggling it is because of their quarterback Tony Romo. This year is that rare difference, it is their defense who is the big disappointment. After giving up 45 points to the Bears back-up quarterback on Monday night. It seem like the team is destin for another 8-8 finish instead of their first playoff berth since 2009. Ranked last in most major defense categories, Dallas is the only team to have two teams in one season go the whole game without punting the ball. How can you expect to be successful in this league playing D like that. Even though it is going it against his win-lost record, this year it is not Tony Romo's fault, but I doubt anybody outside of Dallas would care.
To resign or not to resign: Tuesday afternoon there was breaking news that Texas university head coach Mack Brown was going to resgin by the end of this week. The only problem was nobody let Mack Brown know about that. Mack Brown stated that he was in Florida on a recruiting trip and have not decided on whether to resign or not. Even Texas is not sure if they want to let Brown go. There is no word on if Texas has any other coach on their list to replace Mack Brown besides Nick Saban. So why allow Brown to go recruit if you are not going to keep him. I have to say that I was one of those voices that wanted Brown gone when things was not going right earlier this year. But he got things going because they was one win away from winning the Big 12 conference. I say if you not going to get Saban then bring back Brown for a year and spend the entire year looking for his replacement, that seems like the right thing to do.
HOF Bound: The three best baseball mangers I have seen in my lifetime was announce to be inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame Tony LaRussa, Joe Torre, and Bobby Cox. These three mangers finished 3rd, 4th and 5th on the all time wins list. Like I say they was the best mangers I seen, Tony LaRussa was the best at knowing how to use his bullpen which resulted in three World Series titles. Joe Torre was that manger that led the Yankees on that dominating run thur the mid 90's winning for championships out of five trips to the World Series. Then you have Bobby Cox who only got that one World Series title while managing the Atlanta Braves, but they was still one the best in the National League winning 16 division titles. So I would like to send my congratulations to those three great mangers.
I would also like to bid a farewell to Roy Halladay who sgined a one day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays so he can retire as a Blue Jay. You can expect to see Roy in the HOF in the next few years once he becomes eligible.
