Cliff Lee
First of all i need to talk about the Cliff Lee signing for just a second. I APPLAUD Cliff Lee for going somewhere that makes him happy. If you look at it the Yanks got what they had coming to them. During the playoff series against the Rangers this year the yankee fans cussed and poured beer on his wife. REALLY? Now you expect him to come to the Bronx and win you a world title? Get over yourself Cashman! Cliff knew that the extra money on the table wasn't worth going to a city that disrespected his family, and you can not tell me that the incident with his wife didn't factor into his decision. Good for him! I mean seriously once you get 100 million dollar deal how much more do you need? Shortly after landing in Philadelphia Lee stated that "There are alot more pros than cons here. My family loves it here." Do you hear that NY? His family loves it there. Meaning you dropped the ball when you treated his wife like a nobody. Finally some justice in Major League Baseball!
The Metrodome
Minnesota you had better get a grip on a bad situation. I hope for the purple people eater fans that the Vikes can get this Metrodome situation figured out because i fear the results could be bad. After building that beautiful outdoor facility for the Twins, I dont think that the city will build a new stadium for the Vikings. In turn you had better believe there is someone waiting in the wings to buy this team and move them to LA with a quickness that would make Barry Sanders look slow. One week you are in Detroit playing a game on an interdivisional teams field and the next week you have to play at the University of Minnesota's new field where they have to remove tons of snow to play a game in negative degree wind chills. I dont care who the fans are they are not going to support this for a long period of time. Whats to say the roof wont collapse again? So you have a team that is in the middle of a collapse, and the roof is collapsing on your field. Get it together Minnesota.
The Knicks
The Knicks are back baby! Ive never been this biggest Knick fan but this team looks interesting and fun. Amare Stoudemire has emerged as the leader of this team, and with his contract he should coach the team too. Stoudemire has been a good pick up no doubt, but you must look a little bit deeper to see the Knicks real source of success. In my opinion Raymond Felton has been the catalyst for the Knicks this year. Yes Amare is getting the numbers but Felton is getting him the ball. For the first time in a long time the Knicks/Celtics game last night was fun to watch. It felt like a playoff game again. Its fun to see MSG alive again. Spike Lee running around yelling at Paul Pierce, and Nate Robinson doing a face plant. Wait. What? Yes he sure did! In the midst of his celebration of Pierce's last second heroics, Robinson with hops like David Thompson just in a way shorter frame, appeared to jump over Paul Pierce and face plant in the middle of the floor. This was hilarious!!! You know if you get hurt doing something like this you cant just lay there! Even if you broke your orbital you have to get up like nothing happened. Calm down a bit Nate its only the middle of December. So kudos to the Knicks for a good run so far. If healthy they are gonna be tough in the playoffs this year. Yep im predicting the Knicks are in the playoffs.
