Don't tell him he's too old.

There is a 47 year old starting pitcher in Major League Baseball & he's a starting pitcher for one of the best teams in baseball. Meet Jamie Moyer, one of the most consistent pitchers to ever play baseball. Once an elite pitcher, he no longer has the arm strength of his younger days. He pitches with wit, intelligence, & suave. He will be easy to find. He's a starting pitcher for the National League champion of the past 2 years, the Philadelphia Phillies. At 47 years old, he will be pitching every 5 days. He deserves every tip of the cap.

Mad Scientist gets Madder!

The mad scientist is up to dirtier tricks in March. He's found new mixtures in the names of Northern Iowa, Cornell, & St. Marys. Every year, were dazzled with Cinderella, but Cinderella multiplied this year. These Cinderellas are upgraded from years past, these have dominant interior play & steady handling from the back courts. The mad scientist may not be done. The existing elements on the NCAA periodic chart are no longer safe. Having All-Americans on your team no longer guarantees you a championship. Chemicals made of heart, grit & a beautiful mix might just do the job. Only time we'll tell but history says human nature always goes back to course.

P.S. The mad scientist will be stopped in his tracks. Kentucky will win the NCAA championship.

1st Annual Lakers Fan Jam

Fan Jam was a gift from the Los Angeles Lakers to the fans. Many Laker fans have been waiting for a fan jam as many other smaller market NBA teams have fan jams every year. I was in attendance for this first annual event but I left disappointed. My favorite Laker wasn't present, Ron Artest. Lines for autographs rounded out to summer Six Flags 4 hour line waits. The room was too small for the amount of people corralling inside. I'm optimistic next year will be much better, at least I hope so.

Getting Ready for World Cup Mania!

The Winter Olympics are over & the ice is melting. The grass is growing & the animals are beginning to graze on the lands. The most popular sport in the world comes to South Africa this Summer 2010 for the greatest tournament on Earth. The World Cup gets more viewers than all sporting events in the United States put together. I am watching the countdown to the World Cup, more anxious & excited each growing day. Get those soccer jerseys out, the mania will be coming to a town near you very soon.

The March Madness Scientist

The irrational world of Einstein's Quantum world parallels with the world of College Basketball. There is no science to March Madness. There is no teacher that can teach "The Big Dance." March Madness is beautiful because it's unpredictable. I spent two days researching all 64 teams in hopes of establishing the perfect bracket. This is what came to fruition:

I believed with stern confidence that I had the winning bracket. After the first day of play, I came to a disappointing 10/16. A friend of mine who doesn't watch college basketball also completed a bracket & finished at an impressive 14/16. When I asked her why she chose the teams she chose, she replied with "The names of their school sounded cooler than the other." (-_-)

March Madness is truly run by a Mad Scientist.

Tiger Woods Will Be Forgiven

Tiger Woods has the talent to be & eventually will be forgiven as he returns to the game of golf. To put it into perspective, winners are forgiven. This isn't the case for someone as Michael Vick who was a feel good story but never a winner. Kobe Bryant has rectified his image because he is a winner. Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer to ever live, amidst the controversy, he will be forgiven because he is just that.

Tiger's key to forgiveness:

Handle Talent w/ Caution.

Brady Quinn has the makings of a great NFL quarterback, he was just never given the chance. I watched him as a star at Notre Dame University & saw a potential great NFL quarterback. He was drafted into the Cleveland Browns during a confusing quarterback situation. Derek Anderson had a Pro Bowl year & the Cleveland Browns drafted Brady Quinn as their quarterback of the future. Perhaps it was a popularity pick as Brady was raised in Cleveland & called it his home. Derek Anderson followed with a terrible year which opened up the spot for Brady Quinn. Quinn came into the year as a starter & played decently despite a terrible offensive line, an inconsistent running game & a continuously changing offensive philosophy. Today, he was traded to the Denver Broncos which already has a starting quarterback in Kyle Orton. I remain optimistic that Quinn will take over the starting job in Denver, he is too much of a talent to waist. Handle talent with caution.
