Can I be the fourth guy in your group?
I’ve more than documented my man crush on Curry, and it has even stretched to seeing how he’s spending his time in the off season, sad I know. Make no mistake, I’m not a stalker that’s going to ask Curry to go to Santa Barbra to buy some antiques with me like this guy, who has more of a fatal attraction to Kobe than a mancrush. Curry made an appearance showcasing that he has some game on Monday. No, the Warriors aren’t magically in the playoffs, and if your thinking, I already knew he was a baller, and could’ve won rookie of the year this year, but I wasn’t talking about hoops. Curry played in the Quail Hollow Championship Pro Am yesterday, and posted three birdies on his score card, which is pretty impressive. He was paired up with PGA pro Stephen Lowry, Nascar’s Michael Waltrip, his dad Dell Curry, and Charlotte police chief Rod Monroe. I’m not sure exactly what the handicaps were for each player, and I’m sure that the handicaps they had helped their group a little, but their group ended up winning the tourney shooting a 54. Pretty impressive work Stephen. I guess Dell taught him a jumper and a golf swing, even though after the tourney Steph said that his dad beat him by three strokes, I’m sure he’ll beat him the next time they play. I’m far from a good golfer, and anytime I have three birdies in a round whether the course is tough or easy, I’m usually pretty happy. I doubt Stephen gets out on the links all that much, but I have a feeling when his playing days are over he will be better than Jerry Rice is on the Nationwide tour!
Some other news broke out today on the rookie of the year that MCeezy and I debated about, and would be Tyreke Evans. He’s another Norcal baller that will put Sac back on the map . He didn’t get out on the links, instead he is being recognized for his professional accomplishments during his rookie season. Although there is no official announcement made by the NBA, Sactown Royalty seems to have the inside scoop, and has reported that Tyreke will be holding the ROY award on Thursday or Friday. I honestly didn’t get to see that much of Tyreke this year, since I live in Southern California, and it’s rare that the Kings are on anywhere outside of Sac. He joined Lebron averaging 20, 5, and 5 on the year, and had some competition from Steph Curry and Brandon Jennings, but was clearly the most consistent rookie this year. All in all a great year for the rookie, and a deserved winner of the award. Hopefully these two guys can bring Norcal out of the basement of the West.
Next up: Who wins the #1 pick in the lottery?
Kings 15.6% of the ping pong balls
Warriors 11.9% of the ping pong balls
The rest of the teams odds, if you care…

Ummm. I would like to challenge you to a battle of “For The Love of Curry” to see who’s man-crush on him is bigger … because I think I would want to buy him an orchid!

Hahaha! It went from mancrush while he was at Davidson to super man crush when he went to GS! In case you missed how his season went off the court, here’s his blog! http://www.nba.com/warriors/fanzone/curry_blog.html

I think that NBA ROY award could be headed toward the Milwaukee area . Especially if the Bucks were to pull off the upset of defeating the Hawks in the opening rounds of the playoffs .
Jennings has been outstanding for the Bucks through these first four games of the series. His maturity shown is far beyond his years and there seems to be that synergy there between he and John Salmons.
I know the award is meant to be about the regular season contributions of the players but if votes that haven’t yet been case can act as a persuasion. Then it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see the Bucks’ player win it. But then again who knows when it comes to such decisions ?
So if Ryan Howard is worth a mere $125 million over 5yrs. What happens when Pujols becomes a free agent ? Your favorites sports agent Scott Boras who isn’t Pujols’ agent says ” ……… he expects the player to be offered a contract that is of fair market value”.
So what price if any would you put on Pujols if any ?

Meh, it’s too bad they do all the voting before the playoffs start. Actually I was reading on that link that I put to Sactown Royalty that some submitted thier picks before the season even ended! Jennings has made me a believer, I didn’t think he was consistent enough for the ROY award, but he’s no doubt a star in the making!
Howard’s contract is ridiculous. I would’ve rather given that money to Utley…

It may well go either way in terms of the “ROY” award.
As for Howard’s contract , we all know that if the Phillies didn’t up the ante . Then either the Red Sox, Yankees or Cardinals might’ve come swooping in. Because of it they’ll probably lose Jason Werth at the end of the season.
Scott Boras now has you atop of his Christmas list . How’d you feel about that ?
I knew deep down you liked him a great deal ! LOL,LOL,LOL !!!

Curry’s bigger than he looks. Is he really taller than D Wade?
I guess that explains the man-crush.
April 28th, 2010 at 8:33 am
I think Curry’s listed at a generous 6’3″. Wade must’ve been slouching for this picture or something, becasue I think he’s slightly taller!

On any job interview you’ve ever been on have you been asked a question such as the one posed to Dez Bryant by a fin’s exec ? Click on link to read remainder of article .
Piece came courtesy of NFL Fanhouse .
The Dolphins front office has no class whatsoever ! The question was totally uncalled for and it was a reprehensible act ! What has that to do with the player’s on field talent and demeanor ?
