Nobody Daily – 5/30/08

FRIDAY SPORTSPAGE

Nobody Asked Me But:

Big Brown is very good. He may even be great. But I wish he had a chance to prove his greatness by running against tougher competition.

Aggressive is the most important word in sports. Much more often than not the more aggressive team or person wins. That’s why prevent defenses usually backfire and prevent the team or individual from winning rather than losing. And isn’t this true in life as well?

So why is it so easy in sports and in life to slip into passivity?

Hecklers – be it in sports or politics are usually counter-productive.

WOW was I wrong to cheer my Detroit Tigers on during the off-season when they traded their future for the prospect of immediate success. What success? They are in last place with a huge payroll and NO future.

Youth may be wasted on the young in life, but not in sports.

Why don’t more baseball general managers realize that when they trade for overweight players or sign them as free agents, they have a fat chance of them succeeding?

Poster boy – Congratulations to my Lakers! Their win over the defending champion Spurs last night puts them in the championship series (hopefully against the Celtics) at least a year ahead of schedule. And isn’t their versatile forward Lamar Odom the poster boy for my passive/aggressive theory?
