Bobcats

Well the Bobcats got of to a quick 2-0 but fell short when the Suns destoryed teh Bobcats. The Bobcats are still 2-1, but here is the kicker they lost Felton for awhile. He started out very great and was on AVG pace for 20ppg. They have a great nuculos in Felton,Okafor,Wallace,J-Rich. The only piece they really need was a center. This team will be very good next year if they get big man. They need a backup PG,C and thats about it. If they can stay close 500% this year untill Felton gets back they could make a run at aplayoff spot, but with Felton I dont think it is likely. They Matt carroll as a backup SG and Dudly,Adam Bomb as backup SF. They also have Hollins,Davison,May to backup the front court. All we really need is a big guy that can rebound and swat balls. We have Okafor witch can do it all, he can score down low,swatballs and rebound. We have Wallace witch can score downlow, go the rack and slash and dash to the rim. He was also the only player in the league to AVG 2.0STL,2.0 BLK per game . He is a big time defender and the heart and sole of this run and gun young team. We have Felton which is one of the fastest players in the league and is a perfect fit to this uptempo style of play. He can score and dish the rock and is a very good PG. Our newest bobcat J-rich is our go to guy and is a cltuch scoring threat. He can AVG more 20ppg and with him and Wallace they should be a force to deal with. The only problem with this years team is Felton is hurt we have backup PG along with Adam M out, so out depth is very thin. Next year they will make the playoff's and that is the last word says the bird.

The Big Bird Board report

1. Pats Who are the 72 dolphins and why are thy the only unbeaten team in histry. They will go unbeaten this year if they get passed the colts.
2. Colts The battle of who will be the best QB will play out this sunday. I still think Manning is the best, but alot of people are thinking the other way. I think they both are great and will the top 2 in histry, Manning has one thing Brady does not, he calls his own plays at the line.
3. Dallas They will be in the NFC tittle game but they want win it all with Romo throwing 5 picks in one game.
4. Pitt They have a good QB and a good RB along with tough D and a good Coach. They should win their division.
5. Packers People were mad as hell when they did not draft players on the O side to help Farve out, but it is paying off big time this year. They drafted for D three straight years and look were they are. D wins alot of games in the NFL and they have it with the cold as hell home feild advanage.
6. Lions What a surprise pick and thats what you are saying, but they have a okay QB and great reciever's in Roy and Calvin. They also have a running aswell and with Rogers holding down the D line it will be hard to beat the lions as they have played well this season.
7. Tenn.. The 6th spot is were you thoght they would go , but I think the lions have more weapons and better D. They are good and the D is tough as nails, but Young needs a few more seasons to be the next Vick. He will be better than vick by far and they might win the tittle in a few years, not this one.
8. Giants. They have a great font four, and they will be tough to beat. They should give Dallas a run for there money the next time up. Eli is the best QB in the NFC and Shocky will help Manning out big time in his career.
9. Saints. I think they are better than Tampabay and have a easy road ahead of them. The are starting to gell and should win the NFC south. Both Tampa and Carolina have a very hard road ahead of them and if someone goes 9-7 or 10-6 that will win the NFC south.
10. Redskins Who in the hell should get the #10 spot I dont know. The Redskins have a blanket secondary with a a decent D. The O side they have all the weapons they did, such as Moss,Portis,Cooley and Cambell. They have a good coach and I dont know why they dont have a better record.

I want to put the panthers up there, but they dont deserve it. They have failed when there team, city and fans need them. They need to worry about next year, because they play Tenn,Dallas,Det,Tampa,NO,Jags,GB and every team that is leading there division. They could win the the NFC, but they are going to have to beat Tenn this weak and upset some more teams aswell. They need to get Smith some help and get a secondary,so other teams dont laugh at them. They have a good D line and great linebackers and corners. They need FS,SS,WR, and a QB that will play all year.

The Big Bird NFL report

1.Colts The colts are still the team to beat and they just crushed the saints witch is a great thing. The still have the best O game in football and untill knocked off they are the team to beat: 2008 record will be :14-2
2.Pats The have added more weapons than the U.S.S.R and they are for real. If they dont make the playoff's then I will be shocked, they should be in the big game at the end of the year. They have a great coach and great QB a alot of weapons and they have the most important thing in the NFL a good D. :2008 record will be:13-3
3.Chargers The Chargers are great allaround team and they will be good with Lt,old man Rivers,Gates and company. They are very fast on the D side aswell and they are the top 3 team in football. There is a few things that will hold them back alittle from being the best team in football untill proven otherwise. They are the fact that they ahve a new OC.DC and a new coach and that will change things for better or worst, that has not been seen yet. They also play the bears and one of those two top teams above and if they go 0-2 it will sens a message to the new coaching staff in a bad way, but they are still very good.:2008 record will be 13-3
4.Bears The bears still have the best D in football and you can go along way with a good D in the NFL. They are also the are in the NFC witch is not as strong as the AFC. The saints got shot down and that could make a bigger chase for them being the best team in the NFC. The still have a good running game and a new TE that is Gates matrieal. The will struggle if Rex does not get his act together only if they play upper NFL teams or in the playoffs. As for the rest of the NFL they better wacth out, but the bears do have a harder road this year.:2008 record will be 11-5
5.Saints The siants should do alright this year, because they have the best O game in the NFC, but what do you say after that beat down with the colts. That showed me that there D is still not good enough to go to the big game. They are still good and should win the NFC south, but let me tell you that no team in histry has ever won back to back tittle's in the NFC south. :2008 record will be 11-5
6.Dallas Dallas has a good QB these days and they have TO and a very good O game with a lock down secondary on the D side. They should win the NFC east. :2008 record will be 11-5 and I wish it was 5-11:
7. Denver You want to talk lock down secondary then Denver is your place with Dry Bly and C. Bailey along Lynch. They have great D and they have always produced 1,000 yards in rushing on the O side. They should make they playoffs and I think Jay will be fine as there new QB this year.: 2008 record will be10-6
8.Philly I dont know how they get it done because I hate westbroke as a running back and Mcnugget does not have anybody to throw to, but they still get it done year in and year out. Thats what a good coach and a good D will do for you in the NFL. They dont have the tools to make it all the way, but they looked good in preseason this year. :2008 rcord will be 9-7
9. Cin They should win the AFC north because a good QB a good WR and a good runningback will go along way. There D is still allright and they will pounce on some teams, but they dont have enough to go all the way. The will beat the Ravens maybe and pitt for sure. :2008 record will be 10-6
10. Panthers They were picked to win the big game last year and they have picked up 4 first round talent guys in this years draft. The problem last year was that our line stuck and our running game stuck and our D was still 7th in the NFL with Morgan out. The line has changed for the better with a new zone blocking scheme that fits Foster and Dwill. They got a first round talent in Jarret as a WR and we got a answer for Jake throwing INT and hid name is Carr. We will be better on the O side. The D side we still have the best font four in the NFL hands down. We also picked a first round talent DE in C. Johnson. If Morgan stays alive then we will have the best and fastest LB core in the game. Davis was first round pick and is very fast, Morgan a probwler and quick aswell, but here is the kicker we got Beason in the first this year and he is a stud and also fast. We should have the best running D in football, better than the bears or anybody. We still have one of the best CB's aswell for they have lead the NFC in INT's in 2004,2005 and both had okay years last year. The only weak part of they D is our safties because Minter retired and we never had a FS. We should be fine with good LB's and a good front four to put preassure on the QB, but it still is a hole. We traded for a guy named Harris from the Jags and he had 80 tackles and was a solid starter and we traded to get Maneul and he had 80 tackles last year as well he was just a producted of a over crowded secondary. They are still unproven for the Panthers though. We have a very weak schedule this year and should end up with a nice record, plus the fact teams usally do well with a good D and they have a good D.
:2008 record will be 10-6

I am not a pokie man but I am a poker man!

Anyways There is not alot to talk about with my Cards stinking up the place and theNFl has not started yet so I will talk briefly about playing poker. Hey us old men have to have something to do. My bones hurt and I need to be competive so what sport do I do? The best answer is the sport that you have to sit down and play. I love playing NL hold'm because it is a thinking game and I do get competive when I play. Yes cards is all luck but in this game you have the element of a bluff. The guy next to you could have a 2,3 off suite and yoou would have a j,k and he would bluff you out of the pot unless you knew what you were doing. The best tatics I have found in playing poker is to be somewhat tight with your money but at the same time you have to paint a pitcher. You have to let everybody at the table know that you have some nutz or they will bully you around. My first thing I do is to see what type of player they are. If they are a fast player which bets alot you want to try to trap them in a slow play move. If the guy's are slow players you want to bully them around and pick up some blinds. Hey any money is a plus in this game so stealing blinds is good. Your chances are alot better when people get out anyway. You really would like to be playing one on one for the odds to be right. I know when i played in Atlantic City they bet big and they big alot. The second thing you need to do besides taking notes on each player is to bet good cards when you have good postion at the table. The best psotion at the table is dealer because he will see what everyone does before he gets to act. If you play smart most of the time unless you play a pro you have a good chance of winning. This will fill up some space on here and that is the big bird poker tip of the day. Hey I can not tell you everything I know. Golf dude if you read this look under the last two posts.

Dont worry about big head Bonds!

He will break the HR record that is for sure but he can not last another season. He has a Melon head from all those drugs he is soposed to be taken. Anyways the happy news is ARod will break his record and he is a class act guy that is going to break Bonds HR record playing SS,3rd base. Arod will go down as a top 5 hall of fame guy along Hank,Ruth,Bonds and Mays. I put Bonds in there because in this country we are not guilty untill proven Guilty and he will be the HR king. Witch is the biggest stat in sports according to a espn poll I did the other day. I 100% think he used drugs to make his head swell, but I can not prove it. Anyways the good news is Arod will break the HR record. He is the only person in histry to hit 500 HR and he is only 31. Bonds big bubble head is 44 and declining. Arod may even hit 800 if I do say so myself. He also is batting .311 35 HR 102 RBI's with 10 Sb's this year and still has 64 more games to play. It is barely past the allstar game which is half way threw the season and noone is talking about ARod and he is in Newyork for _ sake. He does get paid alot but how many 50 plus HR a year guy that play SS do you know. Not many and his Career numbers are 499HR , 2,183Runs, 2,183 hits, 251 SB's, 1,450RBI's and a lifetime AVG of .306. That is pretty dam good when most MLB guy dont even hit the big league's untill they hit around 30 because there are stuck in the minor's trying to learn the game. Well the bird has grumbled and its time for everyone else to learn about this hard hitting Yank that will break ol bobble head's record some time in the future. He never gets in to any trouble either and that the last word from the Bird.

Good guy post!

With all this talk of cheating on baseball with Bonds and his big head. We also have the NBA and the mobster crew. But there is one story that needs to be told and it is about what the boster clubs do for baseball and what a coach does behide close doors. There is alot of coruption in high school sports and in little league. This has been going on for some time this is nothing that has not been told already. The parents that give money to the school will play and the ones that dont will not play.

Let me start this story off by telling everyone that jaybird's dad was a very great football coach and he took a team that went 1-10 and took the same team the following year to a bowl game. My point was he was a very good coach. You needed a degree to coach middle school football and at the time the high school baseball coach was coaching them and he wanted jaybirds dad to coach but that was wrong and against the rules because he had no degree. Well jaybirds dad like to help out but did not take any money that they were throwing his way and he also did not support the booster club. He was poor and a great man he did not have the money, but he was about doing the right thing. Well his son jaybird was trying out for them team and I guess that the coach had a grudge vs him because he got cut. Let me give you a little background on jaybird's gifts. He ran a 4.3 and that was very fast, plus that is what a pro WR runs in the NFL. He stole 50 plus bases in 10 games and he done it every year he played baseball. He also batted around .750 and he could drive the ball very hard. Every kid he grew up with new he was very good and he proved it time after time.He made allstars every year but one and was very good at any sport. Well he still got cut because of some grudge the coach had and it was because his parents did not suport bosters.
Thats okay though let me add round two because there is always someone out there better at a sport than you are. Well that person happen to be the birds best friend and he was a big fellow around 6'6 and strong as a ox. The bird admits he was great at football and basketball but golfdude was the man in baseball and basketball. He could pitch and humm that sucker across the plate like ol Nolan Ryan. I have seen him at batting pratice and in games just hammer the ball over the fence. He used to hit HR's vs an ol time pitcher that used to pitch for the bluejays. He was the most gifted person in the whole town and maybe the whole state. He was that good and the coaches use to kiss his butt and let him get away with murder, so to speak just so he would play. Jaybird just loved the game and just loved sports and thats all he wanted to do and it hurt him when polotics got envolved. Thats okay because ol golf dude told them they can stick it where the sun dont shine. He said if you cut the bird then I will not play for you. That hurt them big time and golf dude did that for the bird and the bird will never forget it. It is a shamed that money and fools dictate people's future, because jaybird would have went to college and so would have golf dude to play sports ,and they left a bad taste in people's mouth for that. Maybe one day things will be by the book and people will do the right thing. Untill then this bird will grumble and hope people here it and here it loud. So this post was for the good guy like golf dude that fought the bullshit the only way he new how.

Vick says Dog gone!!!

He wishes that them dogs were gone and off his land. I think this has to be the one of the biggest stories since the Pete Rose scandal. This guy is going to be in some deep trouble. His court date is the first day of training camp which is on friday the 26th of July. We will see then who gets the hammer dropped on the their head like a anville. I think I spelled that right..anyway there is soposed to be four guys involved in this scandal and I am sure someone is going to rat on Vick. He is a goner anyways because it was done at his house and the last I checked the owner is always the person liable. I know alot of people around were I am from that do this sort of thing. They have taken a poll and most people in ATL and they think VICK did nothing wrong. I think dog was soposed to be man best friend not a way to bet on money. They get these dogs and breed them to fight and this is done in alot of places around the world behide close doors. I think it is wrong for someone to breed dogs just so they can bet on them to see which one dies first. I know there are bigger issue's in the world, but have some balls man get reel, this is wrong. I am not a PETA guy by anymeans but I am sure they are pissedoff big time. They can find other ways to gamble their money away, like poker. That is besides the point, because if your the face of a MultiBillion dollor org. like the falcons, you are held at a certain accountablity. I know thats not always fair, but just think it if you owned a business and it produced a lot of money and it was media market freindly, then I think you would be on your best behavior. He is the face of the Falcons and a poster child for the NFL and he can not be envolved in BS like this. He can hang with his friends and all, but if they are doing something wrong you have to asked them to leave or your just adding to the fire. I am a panther fan and I hope I dont see his but the 3rd game of the year and thats is the last word from the bird.

why on Yi?

Why in the hell do the bucks have to trade Yi Jianlian the newly drafted PF out of China. Yi's home basketball team says that the bucks have more front court help and Yi would not fit in so Yi want sign with the bucks. If he is coming to the USA and playing ball then he should have to sign with the bucks if he enters the NBA draft, but this is just my thoughts on this. This is one of the draw backs about players coming over here from overseas. This guy is said to be better than Y.Ming and can shoot like Dirk, but I guess we will see later on down the road. I have no clue who will pick up this guy or make a trade for him, but who ever is trying to trade for him will have to deal with China aswell. He really would be a good fit in Charlotte but who wants all that trouble that goes along with him. We could get the deal done for him, but I also heard he will not play for a east coast team because it is to far from China. He has a lot of demands for a guy that has never played against NBA players or any USA squad for that matter. He might be dunking on small ninja looking guys but let him face Shaq daddy and see what he thinks. I have nothing against China and I will say that aslong as there not Muslim I dont care, so its nothing against China. My final thought is if he comes to the USA and plays in the NBA he should play for who ever drafts him just like everyone else, except that puck of a joke named Koby. He did not want to play for a small market team like Charlotte and I dont like that as well.

Blogging for those Bobcats!

Yeah.... The NBA is not like Collge Basketball, but hey you have to go for your home state. I like the cats anyway and MJ seems to be rolling in the right diriction. He is known for his bad draft with K. Brown in Washington, but he just made up for that with this years draft. With the 8th pick the Bobcats picked up Brandon Wright from UNC. I like the pick at first becuse we needed a big guy in the middle to play PF. He then got traded to Goldenstate for Jason Richerson witch was a great move in my thoughts. We needed a go to guy plus that fact we were weak at the SG spot. G. wallace needed some help, so the move really completed our team and put us in the Playoff's next year I think. We now have a run and gun type of team with Felton which runs like a gazel and the fastest player in the NBA at the PG spot. He will pair with J- Rich at the SG spot which averaged over 20 points last year with Goldenstate in the playoffs and got them to the 2nd round. He also is a slasher,dunker and a scoring threat from outside that has been close if not over the 20.0ppg in every year he has played and he is only 26. Those two will pair with G. Wallace and be one of the best backcourts in basketball with a blazing fast uptempo style of play like the suns run. Wallace is the only player in the league to have18.0ppg.2.0stl,2.0blocks per game and he can just plain out fly like Mike.....okay not as good as Mike. The also have Okafor in the middle and he has been solid for every sence he has been in the league and those 4 will be stars at some point in their career's. My last and final point, check them out this year for they may be very,very good!

congrats!! to the bears and colts

The bears were the best team in the nfc all year long and deserve every bit of this big game that is played in two weeks. They have a good coach and a good team to try and win the big one. They have won of the best Defence's I have ever seen my self. The best was the Ravens the year they won the big one. The ravens had a killer D this year too and they remind me of the bears alot. Good D with a unproven O game. I now the bears have proved the have a better O game than people give them credit for. They have a two headed monster running game with some good receiving to go along with them. They have a real chance of winning this year. They will not win though. The bears have not played anybody all year long and the NFC was underacheiving this year, the teams that went for the nfc just di not scare me like the afc. This will hurt the bears in the big game because they face someone that can comeback from a big lead to win the game at any time. The colts,Pats,chargers, are better than the bears and the Pats done beat them this year already. The bears have good D, but you can not make a plan to beat the colts because Manning will change the game on you at the line of scrimage. The best game planning coach in all of football could not plan to beat Manning and the bears will not either. The bears can not touch the colts and if they do get close in the game they have to then worry about a comback. There is none in today game better at comebacks than Manning or Brady and Brady's out.

score: Colts 34 vs Bears 24
