Justin Jackson and other stuff



This a very good story about the upside of Justin Jackson. I love watching this guy play ball! Great passer, great hustle, great passion, very good shot blocker, not afraid, very smart player with great athleticism. I think of him as Kenyon Martin meets, Jeff Green, meets Greg Monroe type player. Not saying that he will be as good as any of them, but that he has some attributes of all of those players, and if he continues to improve his ball handling and strength, I can see him as an undrafted, off the bench, towel waving, hustle guy in the association.
I'm putting the over/under at 10, and taking the over on the number of fans, at Wrigley this year, with Cubs jerseys with Pujols over #5 on the back. There is some quality hate between those 2 fan bases, and I would love to see it esplode if Albert somehow found his way to the North side. As a fan of the Reds I would love to see him take his talents to the AL.
If wining is not important to you, think about becoming a fan of the Bengals. It is never boring thanks to our incompetent GM and his sycophantic minions.
11 bids for the Big East conference sounds right to me. Before the Big East took the best teams from Conference USA they routinely got 5-7 bids, conference USA routinely got 4-6 bids, that equals 9-13 bids that the Big East should have been receiving since 2005 season.

When a trend becomes fact


Early peeps, grunting in their caves, about the weather, or whatever, would surely marvel about the evolution of the modern humans ability to complain. With the explosive growth in both obtaining information and the many ways to communicate said info. it is truly a Golden Age of Complaining and will only increase. That being said, if there were half-assed blogs like this one 50, 100, or 150 years ago the same observation could be made and be just as accurate.

P.S. i found three caveman pics that i could not upload, so I put up this pic.
