No. It's there.

Baron Davis

Today was a genuinely sad day for me. Baron Davis really punched me in my mouth. Took probably my favorite Bay Area athlete out of the Bay Area. Oh well, I wish him all the luck as a Clipper. Today was a day of mourning.

I also hate Matusow and Negreano, especially Negreanu. I want to see them fight one day I'm talking about poker now.

Gotcha

Funny when a sporting hero comes to and end/retires or leaves, it affects so many of us on a personal level.

I stopped watching soccer after Cantona retired.

It just makes me sad I really thought we were going to have Baron for at least another year and I was so looking forward to that. Damn it, not to mention the Clippers also got Eric Gordon who I admit was my favorite player in the draft. Even more then Rose possibly.

And now they have Eric Gordon who is essentially a young Baron Davis in LA with the man Baron Davis. It really depresses me. As much as sports can this was a complete low blow with the Giants trying to make their move, the 49ers make or break at the quarterback position, I didn't need my fucking point guard leaving. Andre Ward better do big things

The draft has always confused me.
Our national sports are decided by region of origin only.

That means there are some very weak teams, but at least there is no poaching or politics.

Ha, that would be crazy. That would really make the Warriors the best of all time

And I imagine the Knicks might be good again

But no, our leagues the NBA, MLB and NFL they each have like teams in 30 cities and football drafts anyone they want from College, NBA drafts college athletes and international players and baseball drafts from junior high school it seems now.

Though the MLS is divided in regions but that is just because the teams are actually just neighborhood Sunday day league teams.

I can't find it in me though to hate the Clippers. They are always just second best, very nonthreatning and always a sad display of talent as the shit in that organization drips from the top on down. It's just a terrible, terrible franchise but it's hard to root against them.

It's just terrible though seeing Baron Davis interviewed. I'm still going to root for him and I would be happy if the Clippers won and not the Lakers. Besides, we knocked the Clippers out of the playoffs on the final day of the season when we went a year ago. That was great. That sent them in a spiral, I imagine we'll replace our point guard soon enough. We tried to get Gilbert Arenas back
