ANTICIPATORY
Well, it's a sport-filled Sunday the day after Oscar De La Hoya cried wolf. What a sore loser that guy is. One of the most hyped athletes of recent memory loses twice to Sugar Shane Mosley. To top it off, fellow blogger Jeremy clued me in that the guy beat his girlfriend a while ago. We concluded that yes, De La Hoya comes off WORSE than Lawrence Phillips because De La Hoya tried to paint himself as a good guy. We KNEW Lawrence Phillips was bad and he didn't try to defray that. De La Hoya was "the golden boy" and now that we figure it out, a choker and loser. May I never hear his name for at least a year. I hope the full-scale investigation of last night's fight just finds out what a dolt Oscar is. Apparently George Foreman and the TV crew doing the fight were enraged that De La Hoya didn't win the fight, but I heard afterward on ESPN Radio that both longtime boxing guru Bert Sugar and current heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis both had Mosley winning the fight, and didn't know what the hell Foreman and the other guys were in such a tizzy about.
Speaking of the word "tizzy," I'll throw in a mention of former NBA Sacramento King and Minnesota Timberwolf Wayman Tisdale. Remember when the Kings really sucked? Mitch Richmond and Wayman Tisdale were on some of those teams.
Well, the Mariners and Seahawks both play in about 45 minutes. As always, I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
I've watched bits and pieces of this very odd Steelers/Chiefs game. Lots of picks and lots of big-play catches. Very high-scoring deal.
So in the Seattle market, we get Chiefs/Steelers early and Broncos/Chargers late from CBS and we get Seahawks/Cardinals on Fox. The full slate of three TV games that we can only hope for when the Seahawks are on the road and therefore not blacked out.
