Today is a somewhat slow sports day for me- the NBA Draft isn't for 24 hours, and I'm not exactly excited for the College World Series (BTW, I'd like to see Fresno State win- I don't want to see ANOTHER championship claimed by the haughty and annoying SEC), so I'd like to present my random thoughts.
1. If the Miami Heat pass on Beasley, does this qualify as stupidity or rational thinking?
2. It was nice to see Vizquel treated nicely by the Indians fans- too many instances in other ballparks have old players been booed (See J.D. Drew and the battery incident...)
3. I haven't heard from Sandra in a while- is she running another marathon?
4. For any fellow DBSForums Sports Arena migrators, anybody remember anders AKA the Tar Heels fan? He's the guy I lost a bet with.
5. Does anyone feel that the MLB All-Star Game is not what it used to be way back when?
6. I think Barry Melrose will regret his decision to become Lightning coach- I'm giving him an over/under of four years.
7. I don't know who has it worse- Amy Winehouse or the New York Mets?
8. Bronson Arroyo gave up 10 earned runs yesterday in Toronto- was Dusty Baker asleep after the first five or six runs?
9. Anyone see this week's Sports Illustrated Cover with Garnett and Bill Russell?
(How prophetic: Garnett was on the NBA Preview cover in October an d graces the season's final cover)
10. Why is it that the MLB Draft is not as anticipated by baseball fans like other drafts in other sports? As a hockey fan, I'm always excited for the NHL Draft, and so on for other sports.
11. Now that George Steinbrenner is out of the picture, who's the most hated owner in sports?
12. Which was a sadder NHL team departure- the Whalers, Jets, or Nordiques?
(I say the Jets- they were a fun team to watch, and they allowed my Sabres to be graced by Dale Hawerchuk's greatness)
13. What's the best fast-food drive-in place to get a dessert?
14. "I must break you" is one of the best sports movie quotes of all-time
(Im sure you guys have seen Rocky IV)
15. Now that Notre Dame is now what it used to be, will the networks give us USC overkill or try something else?
16. With NBC keeping Notre Dame football and losing other sports, it should stand for "Nothing But Clods." However, they do have hockey, which is actually more valuable than the Stinking Irish.
(Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malking or Evan what's-his-name? You decide...)
17. Sandra, HD MM, BillDel, myself, SamCdbs, Iceberg, and that guy with the Atlanta Flames logo all have zero broadcasting experience- nonetheless, all of us are far more qualified to broadcast professional football (or any sports) than Bryant Gumbel
(Most of you guys may not like Tony Romo, but at least you can get his name right.)
Luckily, Greg can actually GET THE NAMES RIGHT and care about what he sees.
18. Michelle Wie is the most overhyped female in sports history.
(Danica Patrick, Candice Parker, and Natalie Gulbis have won at least once in their respective sports- a race, a tournament, and a national title)
19. Darko Milicic is the 20th Century's Sam Bowie- he didn't deserve to be drafted ahead of D-Wade, yet got an undeserving ring on that 2004 Pistons team of giant killers.
20. Sandra and myself dont have NBA-caliber skills, yet we're 1000 times better basketball players than Kwame Brown. That the Lakers traded Kwame Brown and 5 boxes of country music CD's for Gasol will go down as one of the greatest robberies in sports history.
21. Which is less interesting- the Canadian Football League, Arena Football, or Boxing?
(I'll take door number three, Chuck!)
22. If you add the number of Islanders fans and the number of Baltimore Orioles fans, you get a number that's smaller than the number of fingers I have on my hands.
23. 2005-06 is what I call a true crossroads year for me, in so many ways.
24. Anybody remember when NBC covered baseball? It seems like centuries ago...
25. Finally, I know this isn't DBSForums, but when it comes to talking sports w/you guys, I am approaching my one-year anniversary in talking on a major technology site w/a sports forum.

1. If the Miami Heat pass on Beasley, does this qualify as stupidity or rational thinking? Not necessarily. Despite what the prognosticators say, I actually think O.J. Mayo will turn out to be the best player drafted this year. Mark my words.
2. It was nice to see Vizquel treated nicely by the Indians fans- too many instances in other ballparks have old players been booed (See J.D. Drew and the battery incident...) Yes it was nice to see. Omar left on good graces though. Unlike Jim Thome, it wasn't his choice to stay or go. Omar left because management thought he was too old and they didn't make an attempt to re-sign him. Omar was the last of the great players from the great Indians team of the 90's. I can't wait till tomorrow. I will get to see Omar live one last time at "The Jake".
5. Does anyone feel that the MLB All-Star Game is not what it used to be way back when? When is "way back when" to you? It actually may be debatable that since there is more at stake (winning league earns home field advantage in World Series), the current All-Star game may be more important and exciting now than ever before. The excitement to see the stars in the opposing league may be watered down by inter-league play though.
6. I think Barry Melrose will regret his decision to become Lightning coach- I'm giving him an over/under of four years. I honestly had no idea this guy had a history of coaching hockey before. I just thought he was the prototypical hockey guy (Canadian accent and greasy hair), that ESPN chose to use as a commentator for the sport. Goes to show you what Clevelander's know about hockey!
8. Bronson Arroyo gave up 10 earned runs yesterday in Toronto- was Dusty Baker asleep after the first five or six runs? It's amazing this guy is still coaching in this league.
10. Why is it that the MLB Draft is not as anticipated by baseball fans like other drafts in other sports? As a hockey fan, I'm always excited for the NHL Draft, and so on for other sports. The MLB draft isn't a direct route to the major league team that drafted them. Often times there are years of minor league stints before the drafted player is ever seen in the majors. Bottom line, it's a whole different animal than any other sport.
11. Now that George Steinbrenner is out of the picture, who's the most hated owner in sports? If we're talking all of sports, I'm sure Paul has an answer for you....
12. Which was a sadder NHL team departure- the Whalers, Jets, or Nordiques?
(I say the Jets- they were a fun team to watch, and they allowed my Sabres to be graced by Dale Hawerchuk's greatness) who?
13. What's the best fast-food drive-in place to get a dessert? A local place called "East Coast Frozen Custard" is pretty good. It's an ice cream joint, only custard. It's not drive-thru (the city I live in has an ordinance against drive thru's), but it is pretty fast.
14. "I must break you" is one of the best sports movie quotes of all-time
(Im sure you guys have seen Rocky IV) What about: "Yo Adrian!" from Rocky or "Juuuuust a bit outside" from Major League.
15. Now that Notre Dame is now what it used to be, will the networks give us USC overkill or try something else? It really wasn't all that long ago that Notre Dame was relevant. Do we all remember Brady Quinn? They'll be alright. Every franchise goes through a down time at some point in their existence.
17. Sandra, HD MM, BillDel, myself, SamCdbs, Iceberg, and that guy with the Atlanta Flames logo all have zero broadcasting experience- nonetheless, all of us are far more qualified to broadcast professional football (or any sports) than Bryant Gumbel
(Most of you guys may not like Tony Romo, but at least you can get his name right.)
Luckily, Greg can actually GET THE NAMES RIGHT and care about what he sees. I'm actually a journalism major, however I focused more on print journalism than broadcast journalism. Either way, I have no doubt we would be better than B.Gum.
18. Michelle Wie is the most overhyped female in sports history.
(Danica Patrick, Candice Parker, and Natalie Gulbis have won at least once in their respective sports- a race, a tournament, and a national title) Did you forget
Anna Kournikova ?
21. Which is less interesting- the Canadian Football League, Arena Football, or Boxing? CFL is least interesting for me. I am one of the few who actually enjoy Arena Football. It's similar to hockey in that viewing "live" does a lot for the game. I've been to a few arena football games and they're tons of fun!
2. It was nice to see Vizquel treated nicely by the Indians fans- too many instances in other ballparks have old players been booed (See J.D. Drew and the battery incident...) Yes it was nice to see.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.
