Just To Clarify...

So I started to simply reply to one of Grind-Core Boy's comments about his mighty Phil's and their chances against the Giants should they meet in the postseason, but then my thoughts seemed to mutate a little. I'll include the comments here and continue. That being said, in reference to my recent post "Brad Penny: Act One," you'll notice I said "if" we get any clutch hitting. That's a big "if". Heck, some games any hits are hard to come by. More than team since the early Shaq/Kobe Lakers, this Giants team can make you swing from chest-thumping proud to crying shame misery. To quote the great Al Pacino "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

But on a more positive note, the Seahawks were 4-0 in the preseason and looked pretty sharp under new coach Jim Mora Jr. and I can't wait to see what Aaron Curry can do. Okay, I'm psyched about their entire linebacking core and expect relative (division champs and entertaining football) greatness from them this year. Houshmandzadeh should be a very nice pickup and if Hasselbeck stays healthy, they should score a crap-load of points. Who knows? Maybe there's even still life in Edgerrin James' legs. Regardless, I'll be sporting my Lofa Tatupu (is there a funner name to say in all of sports?)jersey and yelling at the TV in no time.

And of course, basketball's just around the corner. There was this little gem from the O.C. Register's Janis Carr:

"All I can say is thank goodness for Ron Artest. He quickly has become the eyes and ears of Lakers fans via Twitter.

He reported Thursday that he arrived at the gym early, early in the morning for a hard workout, but once inside, he discovered he wasn’t alone.

'3rd workout done. Let me tell why I LOVE KOBE “JELLY BEAN”BRYANT! I Get to the gym at 6:45,the Black Mamba gets there at 5:30! Go Lakers!!!'

Apparently Bryant, too, is eager for the season. Aren’t we all?"

I'd say so, and isn't it great to see the reigning Finals MVP continuing to stay hungry for that one-for-the-thumb? I can't wait for this season to start.
