Sports, LeBron and Football

I haven't talked sports in a while so let me give you a few thoughts.  I think I will start with Tiger.
Now that the divorce is official maybe this guy can get back to being obsessed with winning instead of flap jack waitresses.  Talk about a guy who lost 'The Eye of the Tiger' (No pun intended there)!?!?!?!  He has written a check for somewhere between $50 and $100 million to his ex, everyone hates him and he can't win a tournament to save his life!  Saying that things have gone downhill is an understatement. 
He should be pissed off and embarrassed.  Now is the time when you see what a man is really made of.  Does he have what it takes to pull himself out of this hell hole and reclaim his status as the greatest golfer alive?  Or will he fade away and just be average?  Rehab and counseling may be bad for him in that respect.  His obsession with flap jack waitresses (that's two references in this post, love it) and his obsession with winning are signs of a pattern in his life.  When he is focused on something, nothing can get in his way of getting it.  I imagine that rehab makes you, or at least tries to make you, let go of obsessions.  It makes you see that some things are important enough to get in the way of winning, or flap-jack waitresses (that's 3 maybe I'm obsessed).
While I think that his behavior was despicable for a married man.  He embarrassed his wife in front of the world and showed that he is a shitty guy.  But he has suffered enough and paid a high price.  Besides while it is entertaining and funny, his off the course behavior is really none of my business and I really don't care about it.  I am really interested in seeing if he can get back to dominating.  That is what I want to see.  I love watching the best be the best and come back from the brink of destruction and be the best.
Next, I need to talk about LeBron.  What was that?  'The Decision' was the worst idea ever!  I am glad he left Cleveland and went to Miami (BTW the Lakers still win you heard it here) but that build up and announcement was crazy.  Let's hope Carmelo learned a lesson and won't do the same next year.
Speaking of Carmelo, the latest rumour is that Denver may sign and trade him to Chicago.  The Bulls quietly had a very good off-season and have a nice roster.  They are discussing Trading Joakim Noah for Carmelo.  I would do that in a heartbeat.  Although, giving up Noah takes away from the blood and guts of the team but that is what you would have to give up at a minimum to get a superstar like 'Melo.  That trade, if it happens may make me cheer for the Bulls!
Well, the NFL, College Football and Youth Football is back and I love all 3 of them.  My questions are, 1) Can the Saints repeat? 2)Will my Cowboy offensive line be good enough? 3) Will my Cowboys live up to the hype?  4) Will Boise State run the table and get in the National Championship game? 5) Will my youth football team rebound from a poor start and make a run at the Super Bowl?
All interesting questions and I have answers to none of them.  I guess that is the beauty of sport?!

That's All I Got!!!!
I'm Out!!!
