We Beat Puerto Rico in Basketball!!
Welcome to Saturday! Beating Puerto Rico is not as hard as it sounds...wait, it doesn't sound hard at all (we won 112 to 86). (Notice the sick rat tail/moo-lay type thing going on in that pic above.) It was an exhibition game so it was really about just giving Puerto Ricans a reason to head over to Madison Square Garden last night to generate some revenue, but the PR team does have some solid talent. However, when looking at games like this I can't help but wonder...Puerto Rico is an island (that the USA kinda, sorta owns) with a total population of just under 4 million people. The great state of New Jersey has 8 million peeps. Not to draw comparisons but do we really need to send the whole USA team to fend off Puerto Rico? Maybe we scale it back for these games and only start guys from say states with a combined population. North Dakota has 732K souls under its jurisdiction, Alaska has 735K peeps living in its borders and Idaho has 1.6M ladies and dudes (not to even narrow it down to basketball playing aged humans) so maybe we just put together a team from the north western parts of the US of A and see how that goes, just to keep it fair. I think it wold be kinda nice...why overextend the team's powers when we could probably beat them with a few guys from the University of ND and a couple of potato farmers from Idaho?
Geno Smith Wins the Fake NY Jets QB Battle!
Oh Sanchez, you didn't get the starting gig in New York...oh, no...my bad...awkward, you play for the Philadelphia Eagles now. Oh man, this is embarrassing...for me. I...am...sorry. I thought this was last season, where in last night's pre-season match up with the Giants Rex Ryan led you out to slaughter and even, dare I say, ended your season before it started. Jerk. Be that as it may, Rexy has gone with Geno Smith (your understudy) for the starting gig, at least for week 1. Do you care really? You're making decent dough holding Nick Foles' playbook...which in my book is not the worst thing. Congrats to Geno, and good luck!!
English Premier League is in full swing, give it a look. It's fine...it's on in the morning, no one will judge you!! NBS Sports Network.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Happy Watching!!!
I also thought that Sanchez was sitting on the Jets bench...oops! Geno looked good though! I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Giants performance. At least football Sunday still = great food, if nothing else!
