Lipstick and Lateral Passes

As the NFL draft approaches (5 weeks to be exact) there has been lost of discussion about who will go first this year. Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III (RGIII) and runner up Andrew Luck are the biggest stories this year. I wasn't able to follow them both through out the entire season, mostly because of coverage, but I was able to catch a few Stanford and Baylor games. I have to admit I was disappointed by Andrew Luck. Maybe it was because I saw Stanford's game vs. Oregon but to me that was his time to shine. He was uneasy and rattled the entire game. I was unimpressed to say the least. Not to take away from Luck in any way!! The boy is BAD!!! I just wasn't really excited about what he did. Now for RGIII. I was unaware of this young man from the beginning. I'm very sad to admit this, because once I saw him play, I was thoroughly impressed!! He was smart and accurate. His moves were intentional and he was exciting to watch. I may be partially biased because I...

I'm not really a fan of the Miami Heat. Now, before you discredit me as a hater or whatever new term you have out there, let me explain. The Big 3 of Miami are TALENTED! I would never take that away from them. But that for me seems to be all there is. I get the feeling that Miami knows they're talented and rely on that too much. There are times when fight and grittiness wins a game. Yes, there are times when Miami gives shutdown and cutthroat defense. They doesn't seem to be the case to me most of the time. There's no hunger to me! It feels like they expect a championship to fall right into their lap. It doesn't happen like that. If you aren't able to be clutch when it counts and show up ready to fight, then an NBA championship isn't for you. Until the Heat figures that out, this new line-up will be without rings.
