Love of Cali Sports

I'm sure most feel the same about theirs but I LOVE MY STATE. I especially love it during any professional sports season. What's not to love. We are LOADED. You wanna catch some football? You got Niners, Raiders, and Charges. All decent in their own way (Raiders still live mostly off of history but hey it's one hell of a history right?).  Baseball: Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Angels and my personal favorite the A's. No it doesn't bother me the best thing about the A's this days are the RIVERCATS; hey they make Sacramento worth visiting. Hockey: Kings, Sharks and Ducks (So what they were named by Disney you gotta admit the newer stuff features some bad ass looking ducks or well feet). Oh and of course Basketball: Lakers, Clippers, Kings & Warriors. This playoff run for the Clippers was quite impressive I mean they are STILL the CLIPPERS people stop being cynical that they didn't make it all the way save that disgust for the LAKERS hahaha
Well Baseball is still marching on but my thoughts have already turned to football too bad I'm not a live or die Cali football guy. Sorry, my heart has been an EAGLE since the days of "Why Pass?" Cunningham. I just know I'm looking forward to see what this year will bring. Niners in the superbowl? Raiders with an actually winning record? Charges officially spontaneously burst into flames and sell off all their talent at the trade deadline?  Only time will tell, but I just can't wait.

Sports Talk

Loving all the drama in the last week of Sport. D Howard drama was all for naught. Manning found a new home in Denver which means Tebow time has to hit the road. 49ers loaded up for Manning, only to be denied, so now the pressure is on Alex Smith to preform Manning-esque (newly loaded WR core means no more excuses). During all the lovely drama of Manning one of the best receivers of the past Decade (14 years exactly) has called it quits after the team he gave his all for quit on him. Love it or Hate it the NFL has long ago stopped being a league of loyalty. Unlike the NBA, which is more often players betraying the teams/city that helped build them up, the NFL owners are quick to dump their aging pieces no matter how much blood and sweat that former star left on the field. Glad Hines called it quits once cut, but sad that wasn't given the opportunity to show what he's still got left.
Of course let us not forget the grand sport of Baseball getting ready to kick off the new season. Not sure what to expect this year, but I do know it's going to be a great year and though a die hard A's fan I may be forced to head to Angels' stadium just to see a future hall of famer (Puljos) swing for the fences.

Game On

Tomorrow is the day the bay has been waiting for. San Francisco back in the conference championship. It'd been a long time since those days. No steve young No jeff garcia, now is Alex Smith's time.  The question that will be answered is will this  niner defense outlast Eli & his hot offense. Coughlin's boys chose the right time to get hot & by  hot I mean ON FIRE. so this could be THE game of the weekend, so the only question is where  will you be watching it.
