Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

What a crazy night in sports!... Pretty sure I'd only eat the donut on the right... Jon Jones is out of UFC 200 because of a failed PED test. Wow - I had planned to go out to watch UFC 200 and bet heavily on Jones even though he was a 3-1 favorite. Now not so sure - may go out to watch a band instead... Wait - there's a Fight Club 2?... So Dwayne Wade is signing with the Bulls? Wow! Chicago's lineup is now Rajon Rondo, Wade and Jimmy Butler plus flotsam and jetsam. Good luck with that Bulls fans... Starting to think the Red Sox were wrong not to trade Blake Swihart for Cole Hamels... Can pot help protect against Alzheimer's? Better safe than sorry!... If the scientists behind the Juno probe had worn shirts with scantily clad women - would the unreal scientific achievement have gotten more press attention?...

Congratulations Mavericks

I can't recall the last time I became emotionally invested in a team like the Dallas Mavericks that I really had no connection to. In Boston there's an old saying, "My favorite teams are the Red Sox and whoever is playing the Yankees." In the NBA world it seems to have become "I root for the Celtics and whoever is playing the Miami Heat."

If we are honest it is really true that people who are saying they are happy for Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks are for the most part are saying that they are happy that LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and the Heat lost.

The Heat were the epitome of hubris. They celebrated more before the season then what the Mavericks did when they actually won the championship. As much as the Mavericks won - the Heat choked. LeBron James just did not show up and Erik Spoelstra was just thoroughly out-coached. It was so bad that I don't think anyone would blink an eye if the Mavericks voted playoff shares to James and Spoelstra for the big role they played in Dallas winning. I have to wonder if maybe LeBron and D-Wade weren't making fun of Dirk's cough the other day. Maybe they were actually coming down with a little tickle that turned into full-blown choking tonight?

Now the fun part comes. The Heat don't just get to wallow in losing. They get to be punchlines. Two of the better ones I saw on Twitter:

@CoreyKeyz: Why didn't LeBron go to college?....Because he didn't want to show up for the Finals

@DrewFromTV: What's the difference between the Miami #Heat and a porn star? A porn star doesn't choke on the big ones!

One pet peeve of mine is those stupid hats an T-shirts that appear as soon as the last second comes off the clock. You can imagine how welcome the spam email from the NBA at 11:03 PM with Mavericks championship apparel was when I saw it show up in my inbox. Kudos to Rick Carlisle for not putting on one of those stupid T-shirts or hats when he was up on stage accepting the trophy.
