Good Thursday morning to yall. We’re one day closer to the weekend, and it’s looking like it’s gonna be a good one. The weather’s really warming up down here in northwest FL. We’ve had an awesome last couple of days and today’s supposed to be even awesomer. I’ve been working on a pretty sweet farmer’s tan; and I’ve gotta say, the foundation has been set for a beauty. The sky’s clear this morning so the conditions are ripe for a great sunrise…I may run over to the beach real quick as soon as I finish up TMA so I can go see it. (jealous of my laid-offness yet!?)
I’d like to start off this morning with a couple of links that I’ve been saving for a few days. I know we joke that “Miz is a redneck” periodically…ok, every day…but let’s put it in perspective:
Now…Miz is a redneck? REALLY!?
Well, now that we’ve got that out of the way…Sanchez > Stafford…I bet Pete Carroll still thinks his guy sucks though.
The BCS committee is considering aspects of the MWC-proposed playoff? Raise you hand if you read the story and think the previous sentence should be re-written as “The BCS committee placates the MWC for a few minutes.”
Mark your calendars for December 1, 2009…UNC and Michigan State in Chapel Hill!
Stephen Curry to announce his decision this morning…Tyler Smith already did, but won’t hire an agent.
Xavier Henry has officially defected from Memphis. Good riddance…I hope you trip over a corn stalk.
Great story about Michael Oher.
Remember that time our dear ol’ bossman, Sparty, told us how Flip Saunders should be coaching somewhere? Well, the Wizards front office has a reader! We should get a finder’s fee or sumpin’.
Kevin Harvick and Casey Mears are getting a little swingerish with their pit crews.
The Lions are working on a deal with Matt Stafford to make him the #1 pick. Since it’s not Mortenson reporting this, I may believe it.
Ex-Jag WR Jimmy Smith got pulled over and the officers found some crack and mary jane. He should have simply said “I have no idea where that came from, but Matt Jones was riding with me a couple of days ago so…”
So all those horses died from vitamins? Excuse me for a minute while I bury my Flintstones in the yard…maybe the freaking moles will eat them.
I think GITC will be bringing us a bit more on this later, but here’s the original story about a highschool baller leaving school early for Europe.
Wait a minute…Romo had birthday golf and Jessica wasn’t there!?
Jerrell Powe can read? I’m not buying it.
Looks like Jay Cutler is trying to rival Sexy Rexy in the Chicago nightlife scene.
The Yanks are tightwads!
I hope you guys enjoy your Thursday. Off to the beach for a few.

Looking forward to see what the Lakers do in SLC today. We have a manufacturing facility there, so there is a nice little between Engineering and Manufacturing right now.

Everybody-
I’ll be writing a Jeremy Tyler story because I feel it is my duty. I need help from you guys though…
My take is that he’s making a good move. I want you guys to come up with questions for me/him to defend his decision. I want to write the piece in a Q&A kind of way and would appreciate you guys coming up with some tough questions that I will have to answer. I will fill in a few questions myself and list who asked what questions in the post and try to get to them all.
In case you previously hadn’t heard the story…

I recommend the Yahoo article.
Thanks in advance,

The Bruins made it past the Canadiens in the first round! That means they win the Stanley Cup, right?

Anyone see the Magic last night? Raise your hands.

I saw the Rangers and the Mets last night.
Rangers game was really exciting. Stupid Avery commits a dumb penalty with a 1 goal lead and only about 3 minute left. Rangers penalty killing was great along with Henrik in the net.
I am a casual hockey fan but I get into it during the playoffs.

hot goalie…watch out for the Rangers.
i mean, Lunqvist is no Ozzie, but still.

…and Ozzie is no Thomas.

I will start watching the NBA when Cleveland plays LA. Good article on Yahoo sports today on Carmelo needing to step up.
Carmelo

Ozzie with 2 rings (3 if you include his 1 as a backup), how many does Thomas have?

GITC,
Questions for the HS kid going to Europe:
1 – Do you feel as a pro that you are more likely to get laid by hot European women instead of high school girls?
2 – Isn’t it kind of assuming a lot to think that you will be able to pass your GED test?
3 – Is the real reason that you don’t want to play for Louisville that you realized that Pitino is a real dickwad?

True. Lunqvist won’t let in a random 60-footer trickle in…
