Rose for MVP and other thoughts.

First, great comment on the Bulls guys, right on the mark, these kids are great in so many ways, but you know what I like most about them, aside from D-Rose and his soon to be 1st of 4 MVP years ( he's only going to improve for like the next 5 years, scarey thought. ) They are the most financially efficient team in the league meaning they have the lowest price per win in the NBA. Here is a great link to a very telling article about money, wins, talent and desire in the modern NBA. Bulls, Heat among most financially efficient NBA teams - Ian Thomsen - SI.com 


Boozer should get back on track and the defense will not let up that many points again this round as They Bulls will stomp on the throats of the Pacers and end this in 4. Should be a fun post season.

Also here is a quick shout to the next big young stud of Chicago sports, Starlin Castro, just wow, this kid is gonna be real good.

Don't know who if anyone out there are still watching wrestling but I feel a new ERA coming that should help wrestling wiggle its way back into the minds of the general public. There is a ton of great new talent right now and the WWE at least is seemingly starting to figure out how to make us give a crap. If you haven't checked out Tough Enough, give it a whirl, if you like shows like the Ultimate Fighter then you will be in for a treat, it's hosted by Stone Cold Steve Austin and Features one of if not the greatest female in and out of the ring performers of all time, A great " Sixth Man " of wrestling Booker T and maybe the most brutal trainer in sports entertainment Bill Demott aka " Hugh Morris " ( I speak from experience here guys from my 2 week venture into wrestling school many, many, many fortnights ago.....ouch! If they can find a way to bring back some respect to their Tag Team division and if this Sin Cara ( Mystico ) kid works out the way they are intending then yes we they have a chance to get wrestling back to mainstay in the mind of the sports entertainments fan mindset.

... Of the day eye listeners.

It's back guys the much missed .... Of the day, lets kick it.

Music, check out this band mostly forgotten 80's band Keel, they are in the same mold as like a Dokken or Tesla and they have the best cover of 80's hit Because the Night I have ever heard. Check out Video here http://youtu.be/XXC34joX0Nc.

TV, Supernatural is back for it's last few episodes and it looks to end with a boom and not a fizzle of black screen. Also The office Goodbye Steve Carrel, Hello Will Ferrel, could be a new life for a show that has had a pretty nice run so fay, or could mean the swift and violent death to the sitcom and maybe even the genre as we know it.

Movie, well there is a few here guys, first off, I hate to give serious credit to Will Smith or any modern day action movie that is jammed into a overstuffed and over saturated genre. But I finally stopped avoiding Hancock and I have to say, Damn that was a fun ride and the same goes for The Expendables but for many different reasons, while Hancock went for a new take of the Super Hero and connection between their sub super mind sets and very human fault, The Expendable decided to just jam as many bullets, action stars and cliches into and hour and a half plus as possible and you know what.... it works, just a lot of fun. Now while I may be behind the time curve of these flicks I feel they deserve to be re-checked out, good times abound.
Also for my core group out there check out Session 9, very well done horror flick, nothing ground breaking but solid across the board. Also Scream 4, nice way to pass the torch and jump back into a sub genre you created in a transition time in the history of Horror. If your a fan of the series I think you'll be happy if not then well tough ghost masks my friends. Out you guys.

  1. G'day Dave. I get the feeling you love the Bulls!! I sadly, don't know anything about them, but, I do know about our Aussie Rules football and that my team is slaying em in the aisles at the moment. I watched the video of Keel, I was bopping along, great clip, great song, great band. Have enjoyed Supernatural and also Scream. Must admit I am not a huge fan of Will Ferrel. Take care. Liz...
