Upon the conclusion of the Rockets/Wizards game on ESPN, Matt Winer & Jalen Rose were discussing the free agent class of 2010 and Winer asked Rose’s thoughts on player movement.
Jalen said he has “extremely reliable sources” that say Chris Bosh and LeBron James will both be New York Knicks in the summer of 2010. He later followed that up by saying Bosh is definitely leaving, as he talked about the heartbreak the Raptors endured losing Tracy McGrady and subsequently Vince Carter, and with Cleveland and their sports history (no championships in Larry Bird knows how long, Jim Brown’s infamous fumble, etc.) and he said there is no chance Bosh and LeBron stay come 2010.
Great news for Raptors fans to top off a ‘great’ game against the New Jersey Nets

The Oklahoma Sooners trumped the Texas Tech Red Raiders 65-21 last night. In a marquee matchup that would test the Red Raiders’ football dexterity, Mike Leach’s gameplan was noted to thrive. Graham Harrell and the Red Raiders beat the Sooners in last year’s matchup in Jones AT&T Stadium. However, this year, in Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where Bob Stoops was 51-2 (now 52-2) at during his tenure coaching the Sooners, Texas Tech stood no chance.
Should have been expected, though, right?
Actually, no. The Texas Longhorns — behind the play of quarterback Colt McCoy — knocked off the Sooners, but then the Red Raiders knocked off the Longhorns. Who is the best team of these three? Looking at it in retrospect, it looks like the ‘Horns and the Sooners are the teams to beat, but how is that so when the Red Raiders beat the ‘Horns, the same ‘Horns who beat the Sooners?
It’s a convoluted league, it seems. It’s tough to judge these teams. But that’s why there is gambling and predictions set up so people can throw their money around just to lose it because a team didn’t play as well as expected, a team that was subdued by an inferior opponent because the superior opponent — whom the consensus bet on — didn’t gameplan as well as they usually did.
We’ll see how great the Alabama Crimson Tide are when they play the Florida Gators in the SEC championship game. For all we know, the Gators could shellack the Crimson Tide and we’d have Florida in the national title game against Oklahoma. Then again, Oklahoma could choke everything away in the Big 12 championship game.
What a load of crap.

We went to the FMBC (Florida Marching Band Championship) yesterday and took home 6th place from cat. 4A! Anyways, I have some people I’d like to thank.
- Brittany Sanchez, the colorguard co-captain, for being a complete and total —– the whole season. I had so much fun mocking the way you tried to push everyone around, but failing when you tripped over a word. Thanks a bunch!
- Mrs. Jones, the colorguard sponsor, for making us wear those orange swimsuit outfits so we froze our rears off at all the competitions. You rule, Mrs. Jones!
- The band parents, for making colorguard feel like worthless little —– for the entire season. And for that one mom who made the “Colorguard doesn’t do ANYTHING!” comment. Thanks.
- And last, but CERTAINLY not least, to the band members for never holding the door for me when I was carrying two 20 pound rifles, for pushing the guard out of the way when it was time for a water break at band camp, for kicking the EXPENSIVE equipment out of the way while we were doing sets, and just for being jerks in general.
Just thought I’d share how GREAT marching season has been for me. Can’t wait till next year!
