My Country Vs. Your Country

-There was an article on truehoop today about blogging which hit a chord with me... Watching the emergence of PW's own radio program made me feel like a father in the operating room, seeing that little head poke out of the plasmic liquid, and knowing that good days lay ahead. Henry Abbot wrote earlier about how to make it big in the blogging sphere and said you gotta come up with stuff new and innovative that 1000's of people aren't already doing. Well I agree with him when it comes to making it big, and Abbot can toot his horn all he wants when he works for ESPN for crying out loud, but blogging for me on this site along with a majority of the others is just looking to creatively vent our sports love and frustration that takes up a decent percentage of our daily thought process... unfortunately we won't be at the scene when Ben Gordon gets traded, or Andres "Chaco" Nocioni breaks his nose on a D-Howard elbow in a couple of days, but we are the detritavores of sports news and gossip, taking pride in re-hashing and low blowing the sports world we love so much. First step radio, next step getting Mike to write my Dallas preview, keep up the good work...

-Watched in it's entirety, Argentina vs. Greece. Delfino played absolutely out of his skull... For those 18 points straight on 3 balls and fade-aways, that cocky smirk he always has actually fit him... Ginobili's early dominance i think gave Carlitos some extra big game gusto... All and all, Greece should have won that game, but Argentina's guards played out of their fucking skulls and willed them to face the US. I have been living in Argentina for the last 7 months, and i would like to inform you all that Argee's don't care about basketball, and despite being the reigning olympic champion, have only heard of Manu Ginobili... Hopefully the Raps Spurs combo can pull some more miracles and keep this close, I certaintly will be watching, maybe even with a blue and white flag on my back, i wish...

BallHype: hype it up!

i read that exact same article and was really close to to writing something about that, glad you took the initiative. honestly, i ve been thinking all day of some "THING" that hasn't been done that would give us a 1/10000 chance of being famous online. then i just decided...WHO REALLY CARES. i like what i do here, my time commitments are minimal, and the 7 people that read it enjoy it. so fuck you abbott, i dont need your advice. anyways, i m having more guest writers working on my afc west preview that i hope to finish in the next few days.
