I used to think the Seattle Supersonics draft strategy was to draft all white guys in the first round.  It made perfect sense.  Vladimir Radmanovic, Luke Ridnour, Nick Collison, Robert Swift and Johan Petro (I assume that Walker assumed that Petro was white since he is French and was very surprise to find out he was wrong).  But after Walker drafted a 7-footer out of Senegal, Africa I am going to have to admit I am wrong on this one.  We are no longer trying to field an all-white team.  No one would draft an African with that objective in mind.

Now it looks like we are going to put the twin towers basketball strategy to shame.  Robert Swift, Johan Petro, and Mouhamed Saer Sane will be the triple towers.  WATCH OUT LEAGUE.  We only need two more years to get two more 7-footers that can not score and we can have a starting lineup of young unproven 7-footers with no skill.  The Supersonics are looking to be the biggest team of the future and we have Wally Walker to thank for this master plan.

Go Sonics.  Go Saer Sane. Unbelievable.

Germany vs. Argentina The Germans are playing at home and playing the best futbol of anyone in this World Cup.  The Argentinians are is deep as anyone with superstars like Tevez, Messi, and Aimar coming off the bench.  Argentina an epic duel with Mexico will need to be at their best to win what surely will be another epic duel.  I like everything about Argentina's squad this World Cup, but I just do not see anyone beating Germany just yet.  In a game that will have goals and glory.  Its the Germans winning 3-2.  Klose is man of the match with a goal and assist.

Italy vs. Ukraine Odin is going to like this pick.  The Italians finally play to their full ability.  Luca Toni the great striker who has been unlucky so far in this World Cup will break through with a thrilling goal.  Ukraine will try to awnser for a while, but things will run away as the Italians out play the Ukranians and add two more goals in the second half.  Del Piero gets the third goal late in the game.  Italy wins 3-0.

England vs. Portugal I can not pick Portugal after how ugly that win over the Netherlands was.  They will miss Deco and Christiano Ronaldo will be slowed by his quad injury.   I think Wayne Rooney finally breaks out in this game with two goals and England wins 2-0.

Brazil vs. France The last time Brazil lost a World Cup game was against a Zidane lead French team back in the 1998 World Cup final.  Now Zidane in his last tour of duty for France is taking on a hot Brazil team once again.  This is going to be a nail biter but the Brazilians will pull it off in the end with a Ronaldinho fast break and beautiful chip of the hands of Bathez in the 80th minute.  Brazil wins 2-1.

Ok we all know I did horrible the first time around lets see what happens this time. 

Ok buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the best list in the history of the planet.  Its going to be a bumpy ride full of excitement and controversy, but ladies and gentlemen here it is your top 10 sports derrieres.

10. Derek Jeter I am no Yankee fan, but lets be honest, no shortstop has made as many hardcore baseball fans out of once uninterested moms, sisters, girlfriends, and wives.  Jeter's moneymaker not only brings in the fans but brings in the rings.  One clutch derriere starts this list off.

9. Mia Hamm Americans are hesitant to embrace two things in life - soccer and women's sports.  This didn't stop Hamm from becoming a major American sports icon, leading U.S. women to World Cup glory and snagging herself a shortstop of her own.  Jeter has the rings but Nomar's got Mia's ... Hamm.

8. Danica Patrick Ever been on a long road trip?  If you have you know that as the miles pile on your bumper gets tired and sore.  With that fact in mind it is even more amazing that Danica rides on against the men's top Indy racers.  It is only a matter of time until Danica and her trunk find themselves toughing out a victory lap against the boys.

7. Cecil and Prince Fielder  I guess a homerun swing really is all in the jeans.  Prince can thank his dad for inheriting a rump that blasts out the long balls.  This new booty might not even have to take the family "Field" trip to Japan.

6. Nancy Lopez   It is not a pretty site but this old school rump shaker gets a birdie for consistency and sheer mass.

5. Maria Sharapova Unlike another bombshell blonde tennis star, this girl actually wins.  It is a good thing too, because when you win, we all get to stare... I mean watch you play alot more matches.                            

4. Shaquille O'neal You thought that Kobe and Wade were the sidekicks that helped Shaq get four rings.  Wrong.  The only sidekick Shaq needs is his Diesel fueled mid-rear engine.

3. Ronaldo It takes a powerful behind to get the President of Brazil calling to find out how much excess meat your hauling.  But that is exactly what happened withe World Cup's all-time leading scorer - Fat Ronaldo.  While the world worries about the size of Ronaldo's butt, his coach just keeps playing the superstar and watching his butt... kick!

2. Serena Williams  When Serena and her kuzunga are in full-effect they are the most unstoppable force in the history of women's tennis.  Serena's booty is so mighty it makes J-Lo's bon-bon shake.  Even the US Army knows where Serena is hiding her weapon of ass destruction.  Congrat's Serena you own the number two spot on the list and the numer one amongst all the women.

1. Charles Barkley The "Round Mound of Rebound" carved out a Hall of Fame NBA career with a "mound" that could box opponents twice his height.  This tank ass provided power, balance, and surprising hops.  Sure Barkley's derriere had a great NBA career, but what is more impressive is that it also following that success with another successful career.  Barkley is now making good dough talking out of his butt.  Now that is one talented derriere.

The sweet sixteen starts tomorrow and as Tommy Smythe put it the matchups are "mouth watering."  If you hate soccer then you don't know or care what is going on and I guess you will probablyy skip this blog, but if the salivating sixteen makes you slobber all over your keyboard then take a look at my Preview and Predictions and join me with your own.

Germany vs. Sweden  A matchup of two European power houses is enough to keep any futbol fan glued to their television.  I love Sweden and Ljundberg has been phenomenal but Germany at home is going to be too much for the Swede's to overcome.  Look for Klose and Ballack to find the net in a 2-1 win.  Ibrahimovic will bounce back from a dissapointing World Cup with the lone goal for the Swedes. Germany wins 2-1.

Argentina vs. Mexico Un guerro de futbol.  Mexico is quick, talented, and motivated.  Argentina has looked as good or better than any team in the world.  Mexico has looked great in the second half of all their World Cup games, but it will be their slow start that ruins them against the explosive Argentina.  Crespo will score on a ball from Riquelme in the first ten minutes and Saviola will add a second goal before the first half ends.  Mexico will awnser with another brilliant second half with a goal from Fonseca, but it will be too little too late as Carlitos Tevez comes off the bench to drop in one more for the Argentines in a 3-1 victory. Argentina wins 3-1.

England vs. Ecuador Rooney is back and England finally has some offense.  This is bad news for Ecuador, but they are not scared.  After resting their star strikers and captain against Germany the Ecuadorians are too fresh and confident for England to handle.  Ecuador wins a 1-0 battle that features a frustrating plethora of near misses and post clangers for the English. Ecuador wins 1-0.

Portugal vs. Netherlands Young superstars Christiano Ronaldo and Arjen Robben duel off in a game that features some flashes of brilliance from individual stars.  The Dutches defense is the difference maker in a 2-0 win for the Netherlands in a game that could have gone either way. Netherlands wins 2-0.

Italy vs. Australia The Italians once again overlook a World Cup opponent and come in way too confident.  The Socceroos capitalize on this mistake and take an early lead off a Tim Cahill goal.  A refocused Italy comes out in the second half with Pirlo tieing it up with one of his infamous blasts.  The first extra time game of the World Cup is a real thriller and the Socceroos wear there glass slipper for a little longer after shocking the Italians in the 12th minute of overtime off of another Cahill goal. Australia wins 2-1.

Switzerland vs. Ukraine A game that is a little boring for the casual fans but a real nail biter for the hardcore.  The Swiss defense post another shutout and wins 1-0 on a goal in the 68th minute by Raphael Wicky. Swiss win 1-0.

Brazil vs. Ghana A match that everyone will enjoy.  the Ghanians shock the world with another early goal.  This one by Stephen Appiah in the 8th minute.  All of Brazil is in dismay as Kingston stops shot after shot in the first half.  The hopes of the black stars are high going into half up 1-0.  Brazil will not be stopped this early though.  Ronaldinho makes a run from midfield complete with a give and go with Ronaldo before squirting a shot just out of the reach of Kingston.  Ghana knows they are in trouble and the floodgates open wide.  Robinho scores from 25 yards out, then Ronaldo breaks the World Cup all time scoring record off a brilliant chip from Kaka.  Ghana has a glimmer of hope when Gyan breaks away for a goal, but that is quickly put to rest by a goal from late sub Juninho.  The Brazilians win a shootout 4-2.

Spain vs. France France comes out of the gates looking strong but Ribiero fails to find the net after getting a few pretty passes from Henry.  The French panic and try to play everything through the aging Zenidine Zidane and the Spanish feast on their weakness.  Spain wins easily getting goals from Raul, Torres, and Villa.  It is not until the 80th minute that the French stop relying on Zidane and get the ball to Henry who bends a beauty around the blond headed Spanish keeper to keep France from being completely embarassed. Spain wins 3-1.

OK join in on the fun and lets all see how incredibly wrong we all are.  And brag our heads off if we get one right. : )
