Get in your hoopty and lock n’ load because it is time for a BPD Drive By!
ESPN’s coverage of the NBA draft. I hear crickets in the background. The hosts sucked, Stu Scott is so 1999 and Stephen A. Smith’s one-on-one interviews were mind numbing. “SO DOG, WHAT YA GONNA DO NOW THAT YOU ARE IN THE NBA”? Well Smith, he is probably going to make a lot of money and play some basketball. Good gravy. Not to mention the no comment after every trade because it isn’t a real trade unless big brother (I mean the NBA front office) says so. The Stu Scott interview with Larry Bird was like watching Gilbert Grape get interrogated by a 3rd rate ambulance chaser. BLAM!!!!!
I am reading an article about the AFC East on ESPN.com. The article dares to ask, “HAVE THE BILLS, JETS and DOLPHINS CLOSED THE GAP ON THE PATRIOTS?”
I read the article just for fun but let’s be real, there are so many things to write about in the NFL why even write this article? It would be like asking if Poland, Latvia and Croatia have closed the gap on the United States being a world economic power.
None of the other teams in this conference made the playoffs last season and New England went UNDEFEATED. So, the only two things I can think of is New England slips and only goes 14-2 and the NY Jets win a few of those close games they lost last year and finish 8-8. Does that really make them any closer? Seriously, in terms of competing for a conference title and Superbowl championship, does it make them closer? No. But, are they closing the gap? Sure, technically. Dumb article. Two shots. BLAM! BLAM!
Let me get this straight, you can run down a woman with your SUV and avoid criminal prosecution. I live in Chicago (one of the crookedest towns in the U.S.) and I have never heard that one before. Are they saying she jumped out in front of him and not the other way around? Marshawn’s attorneys and prosecution reach a plea deal in record time. So, if you are wealthy you can conceivably get away with just about anything. Not to mention he popped this women in a bar district. Breathalizer anyone! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
To close out this addition of BPD Drive By they really need to start showing more games on NFL Network. Instead they have Football America and numerous other shows. There isn’t a whole hell of a lot going on right now so let’s throw some classic games on NFL Network. How about a week of Greatest Comebacks or Great performances like any of the dozen or so games in which Dan Marino threw for 400 yards? However, I will give them kudos on the cheerleader shows. It is summer and I want to see beautiful, half-naked girls frolicking on the beach. For this the NFL Network gets just a warning shot over the bow. And for the BPD Rag fans, you get the half-naked cheerleaders.
You’re welcome.
Have a great weekend PBD fans. Enjoy some great interleague baseball, the EURO finals and some sweet sports honeys frolicking on the beach.
