Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
OK I'll say it! The real reason the Patriots lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl was because of Tom Brady's lack of a proper playoff beard!... I love stories like this. Turnabout isn't just fair play it's awesome!... Remember to live every week like it's Shark Week... Mea culpa - I have to admit that years ago when Andrew Bogut was coming out of college I thought that he'd be just as good an NBA pro as Tim Duncan. Could be I overestimated Bogut's ability and vastly underrated Duncan's greatness there... Seriously congratulations again to the Eagles. Their Super Bowl rings look fantastic... Am I alone in wishing the producers of Wheel of Fortune would bring back the part of the show where winners went shopping and had to spend their winnings on merchandise?... Ballooning spider, flying spiders, no thank you spiders...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Interesting look at how and why Lithium reduces mania in bipolar sufferers
- Tim Duncan asks "Please don't forget about the islands". Especially the his home the US Virgin Islands
- Michael Mann, creator of the "hockey stick" climate graph, help in contempt of court for withholding scientific evidence. Hmmm wonder why he'd withhold his evidence? One could argue that the statement "the science is settled" really could be "the science is fraudulent".
- Interesting - the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald trophy
- If there was a book with inside accounts of these two guys touring Japan in the 70's - I'd buy it in a second.
- I thought for sure it was called a Congress

Tim Duncan and Pokemon Go
Merging two of the big stories of the past few days.
Tim Duncan was quietly one of the best players in NBA history. Even though I'm a Boston fan in retrospect it was a good thing that the Celtics did not end up with the first pick of the 1997 NBA Draft. I'm pretty sure Duncan would not have been the same player (or as happy as a person) under Rick Pitino as he was under Greg Popovich.
Where does Pokemon Go come in? Because the two stories came out about the same time in my head I kept thinking that if Tim Duncan was a Pokemon - he'd be Squirtle.
Rick Pitino? He's not a Pokemon. He's a Gremlin.

- Interesting - the life of a full-time cruise ship passenger. I think this would be cool for a year but not sure if I could make it my full-time life-style.
- Heh heh
- Boston in 1860
- McDonald's vs a Liquor Store - who you got?
- The oral history of how David Ortiz ended up with the Red Sox. Thank God for Pedro Martinez!
- Heh heh
- Cool - space and Antartica

- Heh heh - this reflects my attitude to US soccer and the World Cup almost exact. As an aside - 99% of the time you see the word "whinging" in print it seems to be in relation to soccer. That's an indictment all on its own.
- I was Tony Gwynn's bat boy
- Interesting - whatever happened to OJ Simpson's white Ford Bronco?
- Tim Duncan's greatness in historical perspective. (I guess they would need a whole second picture to show all the trophy's and awards Bill Russell won)
- Heh heh - speaking of Tim Duncan and the Spurs
- The Blackhawks (15/2) and the Bruins (8/1) are the opening line favorites to win next year's Stanley Cup

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Could the biggest offseason acquisition for any team have been Kelly Johnson for the Diamondbacks? Johnson is hitting ,327 with 6 HR and an OPS of 1.231 And he is 3rd in Total Bases in the NL with 44. Who knew?... Al Pacino turns 70-years old today. I'm sorry but I've always thought he was over-rated as an actor. People complain that Jeff Bridges always seems to be playing himself but the same could be said of Pacino... I'm starting to wonder if the real reason that Peter Gammons left ESPN was because of their Twitter policies. He's a complete moonbat. His Tweets are like listening to a crazy uncle who is fixated on Woodstock and on protesting Richard Nixon but who also happens to be a baseball savant... You're doing it wrong. Matt Kemp of the Dodgers has 2 stolen bases but has been caught 5 times... A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, 'I'll serve you, but don't start anything'... Happy 34th birthday to one of the all-time great NBA players - Tim Duncan... Today is ANZAC Day in Australia. In honor of that sacred holiday here's one of the most touching songs ever written...
