I would've written some last night, but I drove over 14 hours from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan back to DC. Anyways, let's get to the sports world.
The "Bad Day Just Got Worse" Award goes to Salim Sdiri, a French long jumper. Apparently this guy is warming up when suddenly a javelin hits him in his right side causing a 1-inch cut. The wound was not serious, but Sdiri the Frenchman surrendered shortly after.
When you think of Budweiser and NASCAR what do you think of? Dale Earnhardt, Jr. And when you think of Little E you think of Bud. The two go together like a Puerto Rican and two chicks at the same time. Apparently, the relationship between Budweiser and Little E will come to an end after the season. It's hard to believe these two won't be partners--I thought they'd be together forever plus one day! I thought it was a nice gesture for E to say he'd still drink Budweiser because it's good. He'll say it because he's still getting paid and for no other reason. Budweiser will find someone else, but it'll be nowhere near as big of a star. Little E will go on to sponsor some type of Pepsi product or products and that'll be huge and I'm sure provide a boost in sales.
Does anyone need more proof Isaiah Thomas is running the Knicks into the ground. They've hit rock bottom and have begun to dig. For those non-NBA fans, there is a luxury tax, which means teams must pay a tax for going over the salary cap, which is determined during the summer. Five teams had to pay this year. The Knicks must pay $45 million and the other four teams combined owe $10.4 million. Isaiah Thomas has sent this team into the toilet. They haven't made the playoffs for three straight years and somehow he as given a vote of confidence for next year even though they won just 33 games. I'll gladly coach the Knicks for $500K per year and get that many w's. You might be wondering why I'm giving him such a hard time considering there WERE four other teams paying. Who were those teams? The Timberwolves--saddled with that KG contract. The Nuggets--made the playoffs. The Mavs--best record in the league and the MVP. The Spurs--NBA champions. 'Nuff said.
First, this isn't a sighting of Tattoo from Fantasy Island. This is Tad Fujikawa, a 16-year old from Hawaii who made the cut in this year's Sony Open. Fujikawa has decided to turn pro and will make his debut in a couple of weeks at the Reno-Tahoe Open. He will seek sponsor exemptions on the PGA, Japan, and Nationwide tours. Honestly, I think this dude is making a big mistake. I've never understood the need for teenagers at this age to turn professional in any sport. In high school I got more ass than a toilet seat, but I wasn't about to abandon my academics for life as a gigolo. Life is too short to skip the best years of your life to become an adult. You keep trying to be too old too fast and next thing you know life has passed you by. I wonder if Michelle Wie secretly regrets her decision to turn pro. The pro golf ranks are littered with "it" kids who have been busts--Ty Tryon and Rickey Barnes are two examples. Parents need to step in and do what's best for their kids and in this case staying in school and being a teenager without adult responsibilities is the way to go.
