thank you danny

I really don't like to brag but I mean, C'mon! I freaking nailed it brah.

Who was last night's leading scorer in the NBA again?

Oh that's right. The guy I picked. My boy Danny Granger. He's my boy because I had him as my dark horse to winner rookie of the year in 2006. It's taken a little bit longer than I predicted, but he's turning into a damn good player.

Hawaii bound?: Any Redskins fan with a brain will tell you that over the last several weeks the only thing keeping them in their games has been the defense. The offense has been a complete nightmare - scoring 12 points a game over their last 5 outings.

Well those putrid numbers didn't stop the 'Skins from landing 4 offensive guys on the Pro Bowl Roster.

Congrats guys.

You really earned it.

Ok I can't be that mean. I'm actually happy for Portis and Sellers. Samuels is always overvalued and Cooley is, in my opinion, just whatever.

RIP 33: Slingin' Sammy Baugh passed away at the age of 94 yesterday. I'm a little bit too young to have seen him play but from everything I've heard and read about the man, he was a freaking bad ass.

Today's article in the Washington Post does him quite well. A couple of my favorite Baugh quotes are in there as well. Something I hadn't seen that really caught my attention was the little note about how he left coaching in 1964 because he couldn't properly maintain his cattle ranch. Pretty good.

I hope Jim Zorn has an out of control cattle ranch somewhere that I don't know about.

Ok tonight's pick is Tony Parker.

My reasoning: I think Orlando's guards suck.

Sorry for all the deletions, but I wanted to make it concise and to the point:

Well Orlando's guards didn't suck and the Magic pulled out the win. Your boy Parker had a whopping total of 9 points. Really? In 4 quarters? You usually do better than that in the Vienna league.

The high-scorer correct answer for that match (yes I said it just to annoy you) would have been Jameer Nelson with 24 points.

As for my boy Roy, how about a whopping 52 points!!! YES in one game! You should just take this as a sign and bow down to my greatness!

Thanks for playing! :)

P.S. My pick for tonite - the King himself!
