“background-color: white; font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana;”>I am wondering why, in the glorious celebration of the Giants’ Super Bowl victory, no one give the African-American General Manager credit for his job well done? Yes, Jerry Reese is in his fifth season as GM and has been part of two Super Bowl teams. Reese is the real deal and is involved in the decision-making process of giving Tom Coughlin the players he needs to win. Interestingly enough, the list of GMs in the NFL is growing faster than in the NBA and MLB. Reese will surely build a tree of people under him that will eventually have their own teams. “background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;”>

Give it
a rest on Eli and Tom

I am wondering
when the media will get off of Eli’s jock as well as Tom Brady?
They always run out what their record is in big games, as if they
are the only ones on the field who have something to do with a win
or loss. Hey kids, it’s a team sport. Eli is good but the Giants
would not have been there if the likes of Justin Tuck were not
making plays on defense. Had Tuck not pressured Brady on the
intentional grounding penalty, it would not have been a four-point
swing, thus Brady would have only needed a field goal to win,
instead of the touchdown that they could not come up with. Eli and
Tom are really good, but give it a rest.

I am wondering
when Floyd Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao. They have decided
again to fight guys who no one cares about instead of each other.
Miguel Cotto, whom everyone has now fought and beaten, and Tim
Bradley, who recently came into St. Louis and reminded all that
Devon Alexander has work to do. Neither Cotto and Bradley are
difference-makers, so why pay attention to the fight, let alone pay
for it? As long as these two guys are not there, then that is the
only fight anyone wants to see.

I am wondering
when the St. Louis Blues are going to score more. While I know many
of you who follow hockey may think this will be the Blues year as
far as the playoffs are concerned, but like in a late-night bar,
you can not win if you do not score. This team still needs
help.

Riot on

I am wondering
how many of you know what is the funniest and yet informative show
on TV? Not any of your network comedies that omit certain ethnic
persuasions, but the NBA on TNT. The pre- and post-game shows that
feature Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles
Barkley are priceless. It’s one of the few times former players
actually give us insight in why we should listen to former players
talk on TV. They get it. They are also a riot. Nothing is funnier
than when the cast decides to play “the dozens” on someone. Last
week’s discussion about LeBron James’ hairline was one for the
books. While it may come on late for some, it is worth recording
and watching with friends. Thursday night on TNT is where you will
find it.

Two-way
Mizzou

I am wondering
how many local basketball standouts will now have a greater
interest in Mizzou? I guess I should also ask how many players have
the grades and scores that would attract Mizzou? It is a two-way
street, and schools and coaches should quit using up kids until
they can no longer contribute only to see them left without a
school to attend.

I am wondering
how the selection committee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame could
mess it up like it did? How is it that Charles Haley, who has been
on more Super Bowl teams than anyone is still not in the Hall of
Fame, and three great receivers in Tim Brown, Andre Reed and Cris
Carter again watched someone else go in ahead of them? This is no
longer about skill and numbers. It has to be about personalities,
and that is wrong.

I am wondering
why CVC, which is negotiating with the Rams on the stadium issue,
has now allowed the Rams to play their game with New England this
season in London when the contract with the team says that all the
home games have to be played in the Dome? It is not like the CVC
had a lot of chips to play here, but why make it easy for the Rams,
who by all accounts have one foot out of the door?

The more you
read and ask questions about this situation, the more you should
say “adios” to pro football in St. Louis. If you are Stan Kroenke,
why would you stay? I wouldn’t know because I never had billions of
dollars to play with.
