Imagine my surprise coming back from a week of vacationing in Mexico to getting lambasted with all these AI trade rumors and speculation.  How exciting! Thid was first news I saw at the Airport in the dirty, dirty A.T.L. while we were waiting for our connecting flight back to Minneapolis.  In Mexico we had ESPN and some other sports (read: soccer) channel and that was about it.  However, ESPN was in Spanish.  And it mostly played Soccer highlights.  Not a big help for keeping up on the NBA or anything other than soccer.

I know, I know… I’ve been slacking. I really wanted to do a Power Rankings every two weeks or so, but I’ve been busier than I would like lately. However, I promise I’ll update them at least once a month minimum. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

Well, I rolled to the Wolves game last night with Bonk, and I’ve got some thoughts I’d like to share.  You won’t find any sugar coating or fluff pieces from me, so if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll have to continue your search elsewhere.

Ok, here’s how this one’s going down.  Obviously Bonk and I weren’t at the game as it was at the Palace in Auburn Hills.  Anyhow… I was enjoying…..ummm…*soda’s* during this game.  So, my thoughts are unedited and unadulterated.  Here’s my objective quarter by quater breakdown of tonight’s festitivites:

After a week of Kevin Garnett trade speculation, I’ve officially had it.  The past seven days have been a whirlwind of rumored trades, broken deals, information leaks, and blocked transactions.  For anyone who has any ties to the Wolves organization, it’s been an emotional rollercoaster.  And I, for one, can’t wait to get off.

Well, after nearly a decade since Marbury’s departure from Minnesota tore a rift between him and KG, Starbury is finally offering up an apology. Wolves fans have been waiting years for Stephon to see the light. I guess we just never expected his apology to come in the middle of a chemically-altered interview in which he called his wife a “ho” and made some questionable comments regarding his feelings for his sister. You truly have to see it to believe it. Enjoy, Wolves fans of the mid-90’s.

Stephon Marbury is Insane

It goes without question that the NFL is the premiere pro-sports league in America.  The NFL has by far the largest and most rabid fanbase, it makes billions and billions in revenue each year, and hosts the nation’s biggest television event in the Super Bowl.  It’s managed to captivate the American public like no other league.  Face it, on Sundays from September to January, the collective attention of the country is focused squarely on the NFL.  The league has become such a dominating force that it’s likely no other sport will ever rival it.

April 2004: After watching the Timberwolves decimate the Nuggets in the first game of the 2004 NBA Playoffs, I shake Kevin McHale’s hand and gush like a school girl as I thank him for assembling an unbelievable team.

April 2007:  A fan is ejected from the Target Center during the last game of a 32-50 season for displaying a “Fire McHale” sign.
