Top 50

Lebron on the radio last week was talking about how no one should ever be allowed to wear the number #23 and play basketball at the same time. Started to think about other famous athletes and numbers. Let's start a list and see if we can get to 50 of numbers that should never be worn again because the current athlete will never live up to the hype!

Yankees Look Out

Look out!

If A-Rod is going to be a guy who does things - like his home run in first round vs. Twins and his tying home run to send game into extra innings last night vs. the Angels, the Yankees are going to be tough to beat.

Yankees weakness is still Robinson Cano.

ACC Football

Va Tech vs. Ga Tech in a battle of the #4 and #19 ranked teams in the country and there were empty seats in the corners of the stadium.

UVA vs. Maryland crowd looked about the same as the Brown vs. Princeton Ivy league football game attendance.

ACC football just doesn't matter. They should not be given an automatic BCS bid, their bid should go to the Boise State crowd of mid-majors.

Notre Dame

In evaluating their chances, Mark Cuban, the owner of the NBA Mavericks, had a great comment when someone asked him who he thought would win.

Paraphrasing but it went something like this, "I'll take the future professional football players to beat the current student athletes."

Accurate!

Gilbert Arena's Silence

The Agent Zero who came up with the provocative blog now goes silent and says he is done talking to the media. Then he gets fined 25,000 and the Wiz get fined an additional 25,000. Then he speaks.

Just like his game, Gilbert lacks stick-to-it-ness. Remember when he said he wasnt' going to shoot anymore, lasted about 4 games. Remember when he was going to be a lock down defender, lasted about a week,. Now he goes silent, until fines and disgruntlement sets in.

Gilbert's demeanor very very similar to Clinton Portis.
