State of the Sports World I
August 22, 2007
Try as I might, nothing really grabs my attention at the moment in the Sports World. The Yankees are getting hammered by the Angels, Pre-Season football approaches its third week, I start school again soon. Heres whats going on in my realm of sports:
MLB:
Yankees: Its Crunch time for them, and as always, they’re getting beat by the Angels. Arggh. Seattle is playing very well and they need to start losing. Arggh. Boston is playing Tampa Bay. Arrghh
Brewers: I follow them casually and watch a game of theirs every now and then. I jumped on their bandwagon this year because its the first time they’ve mattered in a quarter-decade. They’ve been playing pretty terribly in August, but have won their last two games.
*Side note: I’ve been spending some time playing as the Devil Rays in MVP ‘05 (with updates rosters and portraits) and Baseball Mogul. The D-Rays have a TON of talent and my team is young and lethally talented. Good times. To bad they’re awful right now.
NFL:
Browns: Crennel continues to make terrible decisions about the quarterback situation. Can I hope for a midseason firing? Please? Brady Quinn is going to be the major story for the team this year.
Redskins: Campbell going down terrified me. Yikes. That could’ve been Palmer bad.
*Note: I’m not very into the preseason. Its wayyyyyyy to long and theres wayyyy to much garbage time in it. Why do I want to watch third and fourth string players? Its NFLE (RIP) quality play. It frustrates me to no end to see players go down in preseason.
NBA:
Cavaliers: Yes, indeed! I do follow the NBA. Not a lot of action from the Cavaliers. To many bad contracts and poor players going around.
NCAA Football:
I don’t have a team I like in college football. Its a lot of fun to watch, and I’m more into individual players due to my large interest in the NFL Draft.
NHL:
?????: I used to follow the NHL, but I lost interest after the lockout. I hope to follow it more this next season. Also, can they please make a new NHL Hitz? Hitz 2002 was one of the best sports game ever made.
