In Limbo

It must be a case of the mondays for sure. As I sit in front of my computer trying to meet the deadline for submission I can not think of a topic to discuss. So for the next however long it takes I am just going to rant on whats is bothering me. For the first thought I have to congradulate ASU on sweeping the nemesis Wildcats for a second consecutive season. Has the tide finally turned in the hoops portion of the duel in the desert. This is the first time in a long time the ASU has won four straight against Arizona and I must admit the basketball team is firing on all cylinders this season. They could be dangerous in the dance considering they have a lottery pick in James Harden and a senior leader in Pendergraph as well as key sharp shooters such as Ty Abbot and Rihardis Khuksis, I am anxious to see what the Devils will do in March. Call this a sports rant if you want to but what were the Suns thinking last week. Were they really toying with the idea of getting rid of Amare Stoudamire. Call me crazy but isnt he an integral part of their arsenal. If the Suns would have traded him they would not have gotten much in return that is for sure not anything that could match the scoring of Stoudemire at least. Now it turns out his season is over and he most likely will not be available for the post season. The Suns are probably doomed even if they make the playoffs. The team is a little older without Amare and they lack his abilities now I love Shaq but I am not sure he complete the "Amare Stoudamire Project" with out the kid. The NFL scouting combine also started last week and what is sad is to hear some of the events that transpired. One player was actually sent home after it was discovered that he had some sort of irregularity that cost him his career. He will not even be able to play football now according to doctors. Another promising player in Michael Crabtree revealed an injury that will sideline him for ten weeks. He is actually pushing back the surgery to perform at the combine but that may hurt him because caches are already weary about his injury. On top of all of that offensive tackle Andre Smith left the combine saying he was not ready and that he had not hired an agent. Honestly what is this kid thinking if I had an oppurtunity to make money playing in the NFL preparation would not be an issue. He stands to make millions being a potential top five pick but not after that display. These are just some of the things I have noticed in the past week in sports as I prepare to go through the boring part of the year where there is not football. Lastly can we drop that which is Alex Rodriguez eight years ago. The guy did something that every one was doing eight years ago and it is a soap opera that will be dragged on into the season. Honestly he admitted to it so drop it.
