Hooray for June!!!

Alright team. It has been about 2 weeks and not much has happened, but we've got some stuff to talk about, mainly my addiction to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, but other stuff too.

First things first!!! Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is like the heroin of video games. I have spent most of my time that I'm not sleeping or working improving my golfer. Bethpage Black is intense!!! But I digress.

Back to the topic at hand: A few things that have caught my eye: Brandon Marshall, The Colorado Rockies, and the state of U.S. Soccer.

Let's start with soccer. The U.S. Soccer team cannot be fully described right now. Never have I seen a team in any sport, with the exception of last year's Broncos, choke in big games like this. Hell, last night they gave up a two on one breakaway on their own corner kick!! That means all the way down the pitch folks. In the past four matches they've won one, at home, against Honduras, a team they should beat handedly. The U.S. Soccer team has approximately one year to get things figured out before the World Cup in South Africa and I suggest they do that before they get eliminated in the round robin phase of another international tournament.

On to Brandon. As far as I'm concerned Brandon Marshall has gotten himself into something that he has no control over and will ultimately cost him dearly in the end. The Denver Broncos will only trade him for the equivalent of a 1st and a 3rd round pick. However, last time I checked, there are not a lot of teams looking for a player who leads all Wide Receivers in dropped passes, fumbles, and domestic assault arrests. So, Denver wont get a 1st and a 3rd for him. Leading me to believe that if Brandon Marshall does refuse to play Denver will be content to let him sit out an entire season and destroy his free agent value. So, it looks like B.M. is stuck between a rock and hard place that he caused himself. This whole thing makes you enjoy Knowshon Moreno even more. The kid comes in, does work, and lets his agent come to terms on a deal behind closed doors. Must be what you mean when you talk about "Character Guys."

Finally, your Colorado Rockies!!! My beloved Rockies are 3 games out of the wild card all of a sudden. Look, whether or not you like the decisions that D.O'Dowd has made, like me, you must admit that Jim Tracy is a great manager and that these young and upcoming players that we will trade for nothing in the next couple of years are great to watch and make this lull in the sports calendar very exciting. Folks, it's summer, it's nice out, and your team is good, go catch a Rockies game!!

Alright, I'm out. In the meantime tell yo friends about me!!!

June 1

Hey team, Sean here. Talk about your crazy weekends, I'll try and keep this post brief but I am going to touch on all four major sports teams in Denver. So, Let's get going:

Sport #1, The los Nuggets: Great run team. I mean, the Nuggets hadn't been in the new this much since 1993 and hadn't made it this far in playoffs since 1985. However, they unfortunately ran up against some heavy hitters i.e. Kobe, the NBA, yourselves. Let's be honest folks, the last five minutes of NBA Playoff games are more rigged than the WWE, however, you've got to be able to inbound a ball if your a professional basketball player. I am very optimistic for next season though. Keep in mind how far this team has come: This team started the year with J.R. Smith and George Karl not really on speaking terms, Allen Iverson, and Melo out for two games for a suspension due to a D.U.I. conviction...they've come a long way. I honestly think that 60-62 wins is perfectly legit goal for the Nuggs next season. So, stop being said and look forward to next year.
Side note: One of my favorite parts of the weekend was LeBron's little temper tantrum after his team was eliminated from the playoffs. Not shaking hands with your opponent and then making your teammates answer questions after the lost. What you only want to talk when you're winning?? Also, ESPN cracks my shit up today. You've ordained LeBron as "king" and yet all we could talk about today is how he still doesn't have enough help. Sorry pals, kings can do whatever they want when they want, that's why they're kings.

Sport #2, The Rockies:  I remember being distraught after the Rockies were swept in the World Series a year and a half ago and having multiple people tell me, "It's alright, they'll be back," and my only response was, "It's hard enough to make it back to a World Series when you have good upper management." As it turns out, I was right. Poor Clint Hurdle, "Thanks for your 14 years of service to our organization, but things just aren't working out since I blew up the team you lead to the World Series, you know, further than any other manager has ever taken the Rockies."-Dan O'Dowd.  Seriously Dan, maybe we should take a good, long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate. You have quickly become one of the worst GM's in sports. Congrats, dick!! Good luck Jim Tracy, 2-1 so far.

Sport #3, The Colorado Avalanche: All I have to say is that a team must be in major disarray if they are offering coaching jobs while they still have a coach. I don't think things have ever been this bad for the Avs since moving to Colorado. Enough said.

Sport #4, The Denver Broncos: Ummm...nothing too huge out of Dove Valley. ESPN is trying to make a big deal out of Brandon Marshall, which is interesting...got to do something since LeBron's out of the playoffs. If Goodell suspends him this late after the incident and after draft day, that's a bitch move that really is unfair to Marshall and the Broncos. Other than that, I'm still excited for the season.

Well, I think that's enough blogging for now. Have a good day and tell yo friends about me!!!
