Hey sports world! I love talking sports, watching sports, and participating in sports. I could talk about it all day. I hope that you feel free to speak your mind on all of my blogs because I'm open to anything! I love a good argument, so say whatever you want here! Thanks!

AT&T... TIGER WINS
Tiger won with a one shot lead at -13 under sunday...but should it have been more? I don't know why, but even since tiger has come back I have been really nervous about his condition and if he will ever be the same again. I feel like every time I watch tiger in a tournament, I never see him just go balls to the walls right out of the gate and shoot a 69 or 68 or something...hes always in like the middle 3 or 4 shots back. I think if he really is the best, then he should be winning more tournaments by larger margins!
Jordan Hill or Tony Douglas
I happen to love Tony Douglas, but I am not sure about Jordan Hill. Ik he is like really raw and unpolished and has potential, but I just think douglas has more upside. He is so explosive and I think that he can really be a star in the league. He understands the game better and will be more of an immediate impact player, in my opinion.
Hill seems like hes not that skilled and doesnt have a great understanding of the game, but he seems like hes just really athletic. Theres not a lot going around to talk about with the knicks, so I just figured I'd get peoples opinions. Whats your take?
Tiger!
What are your favorite Tiger moments!? SHARE them here... i can't get enough of Tiger. I hate when people dislike him, because if you don't like TIger, you might as well say you don't like golf. Even though we all do like golf, i think we can all agree that we werent watching as much when tiger was off tour. Well at least I wasn't. So share your favorite Tiger moments, wether it be in person, on T.V., or a highlight on sportscenter.
David Lee or Nate the Great
David Lee or N8. Two really good players who have good stock in the free agent market. If you had to choose one, who would you take and why? I would take Nate the Great, because Lee is kinda weak up against big guys and hes a little undersize. I think we should get a big center anyway in free agency next year, and that would mean we don't need Lee anyway. Plus Nate scores a lot, which is always good. Comment below!
We have a problem in baseball, and it has 3 different legs.
I can't complain much because my team, the Yankees, are well over .500, but all in all, the season has been dissapointing. Around this time last year, I was really interested in baseball. Although the Yankees were hurting and it hurt to watch them, there were so many great stories. The Rays came out of no where and took the league by storm. The Cubs were running away with the NL Central and trade talks of Manny, Teixiera, and C.C. Sabathia were all rumored to be traded away. Josh Hamilton was blasting home runs to far beyond the short porch at yankee stadium. And now this year, I find myself in disgust. Although I enjoy the Yankees success, the season itself has been a letdown. The template for the bad season at hand is composed of three things: the Cubs, the Rays, and Albert Pujols. Before you scratch your head, let me explain myself. First of all, I think that the Cubs are a huge letdown. Lou Pinella, yes the hypocrytical coach that "doesn't believe in discipline", cannot take what he dishes. He has been known for his embarressing rants on the field, but has no control over his clubhouse. Lou, unless you want to keep replacing water coolers broken in rage by Milton Bradly and Carlos, I suggest that you start to "believe in discipline" and get your locker room in shape. Letdown #1. Now the 2nd part of the letdown equation would have to be the Rays. First of all, let me say that Joe Maddon does not seem right and looks like the Joe maddon 2 years ago when the rays where lingering at the bottom of the AL East aimlessly, with almost no upside or hope. B.J. Upton's glove is still golden, but his bat seems broken. He opts to give minimal effort and does not hit the ball as well as he is expected to so far. Evan Longoria is good upside for the team, but David Price's situation was handled poorly and he should have been with the team for the whole season instead of being brought up. The chemistry and benevolence that filled the Rays locker room last year ceases to exist. Letdown #2. Now for the last part...and that is the most surprising. I have chosen Albert Pujols because he is an embarressment to baseball. Albert must realize that we know he is on steroids. First of all, he came out with a story before this season on how "he is clean" and said that all his numbers have and are stil legitimate. Not only do I not believe this, but I am enraged by this. He is now putting up his huge numbers that are all a fraud, and this is embarressing because he is just setting everyone up for the same thing we went through with Alex Rodriguez (my idol) and Manny Ramirez. He is the false-hope that baseball needs to get through these dark times, and once we think that its all over, Albert puljols will be there to come out and test positive for 'roids. You know its going to happen, wether you wish to beleive it or not. Shame on you! Letdown #3. Now our equation is complete, but lets mention the honorable mentions. Alex Rodriguez is on the wall of shame for having some of the best numbers of his career forever tainted, and I can't help but think every time he steps on the plate of his steroid use and his lies, especially when he hits a home run. And lets not forget the Mets, who were referred to on sportscenter earlier today as a comedy on the field. The Mets are the Tigers of last year, a big dissapointment. I think we need to inform Paws an Mr. Met that they wont be winning any world series' soon, especially with ESPN the Magazine picking them to win the World Series in consecutive years!
Why can't we just forget about Rubio and keep Nate...rebuddle.
Nate Robinson is a freak of nature. He sells tickets, theres no question about that. He comes into the game and flies around the court like a madman and burns up his adrenaline very quickly. His energy can flow throughout the whole entire team, but in the end, he just makes more stupid plays then smart ones. If you want to be entertained, keep Nate. He will score on occasion and will make spectacular plays, but that is not what the knicks need right now. We need someone that is willing to run and cooperate and make smart plays that benefit the team, not just his own marketability, stats, and wallet (NATE). I am probably one of the biggest Nate-the-great fans out there, but I would trade him for Rubio any day. So Rubios not proven, but Nate is a proven headache and has more downside then upside. This is partially D'Antoni's fault, since he cant control Nate. You would never see Nate on the Spurs making stupid plays in front of Greg Popovich. You know why? Because the Spurs have leaders. Nate Robinson is not that leader....but Ricky Rubio can be.
