Back in the first NGS, I started a post called SoCal's Daily Affirmations. In this post I get to basically rant about the things that I feel are relevant on that day, week, or month. This morning I felt it was the best way to once again post on numerous topics for you the blogging community.
UConn is lucky enough....Washington is unlucky enough...Memphis has some luck of its own as does UCLA. Villanova is playing really well and Florida will match up well against them, but LSU is good enough, smart enough, athletic enough, and dog gone it, I like them....
If you follow Golf you know that Davis Love III needs some daily affirmations today. Repeat after me Davis, "You are not Tiger, you are not Ernie, you are not even Freddie, but dog gone it people like me" (For those of you who don't follow golf, Davis Love just earned the notorious distinction of being the first golfer ever of leading a tournament on the first day and missing the cut on the second day. He shot a 65 on the first day followed up with an 83 on Friday missing the cut.)
Tiger Woods flew home to be with his dad the day before the TPC at Sawgrass. Tiger you are good enough to just stay home if you like. Your invite to the Master's is already secure. Go ahead and take a week off and let the new Tiger, Villegas take the stage. Keep your eyes on this rookie, Camilo Villegas, because he is fun to watch. He weights in at around 140 lbs put routinely drives the ball 310 yards. Camilo has a natural flair and is sure to be the rookie of the year. He is good enough and fun to watch. Is it me or is he just really taking the Tiger thing too far when he crouches like a Tiger to read the green on his putts? Hey, I guess if it works for you, keep it up Camilo.
Carolina just got a whole lot better by signing Keyshawn Johnson. Johnson, much like TO, has a reputation. For the most part he performed last year for Dallas without any incidents and was a perfect compliment to Terry Glenn. This is a good move for the Panthers as Keyshawn has been a perfect citizen since Tampa Bay and Gruden taught him that the coach and team has the power to fire you if you step out of line. He will be a great addition and only help Steve Smith be that much more dangerous. In my humble opinion, Keyshawn is one of the best possession receivers and is always going to catch the ball on third down for that 10-15 yards needed for first down. He has great hands and by golly he is just looks so happy in that SI swimsuit photo and does anyone have a nicer smile than Keyshawn. I can think of 19 million reasons for him to be smiling about now. Keyshawn repeat after me, "I look good, I am good, women love me and above all Carolina likes me...."
Did anyone else think that Adam Morrison looked silly on the floor after the Gonzaga loss? JJ was in tears too, but Coach K was there to console him. I was disappointed in the way Adam handled himself until I saw his quivering lips and that cheesy porn moustache and then I remembered he was just a kid. Adam, repeat after me, "You are good enough to play in the NBA, you have the skills, but stay in school one more year. With JJ gone you will be the talk of the town for the whole year. You can shoot the three, dunk the ball, and even post up on smaller forwards, and by golly the scouts love you.."(Is that Adam Morrison waving goodbye to his senior year?)
Well that is all the time we have today but keep your eyes peeled for more of SoCal's Daily affirmations.
