SOTD – “Citizens of Tomorrow” Tokyo Police Club

NBA Free agent season started last night at midnight, and Daryl Morey got the first crack at convincing Chris Bosh where to to sign. Daryl’s key tactic was a personalized Chris Bosh iPad. My guess is that it was a regular iPad dressed in a cowboy hat, denim jacket, and leather vest.
Also, Morey, known for being good with numbers, miscalculated Bosh’s location by 1,300 miles when he sent a “caravan of fans” to greet Bosh in Miami. Except the Texas native was in Dallas. I just hope that was a SAM (yeah middle school math jargon!), and not a sign of his real math skills.
I will say that I think it is unlikely that we end up with Chris Bosh, and I will buy Daryl Morey a gallon of his favorite ice cream to eat out of the carton in his pajamas while watching a marathon of netflix movies when the Rockets get rejected for a younger sexier team.
In fact, I would say that the Rockets are the “Cougar” of the teams pursuing Bosh. Not quite the sexiest we have been, our star player is a little older and injury prone, but we have some good assets and we may have a few tricks up our sleeve other younger teams haven’t learned yet.
Unfortunately, we will still probably get left in the cold for a team with a bigger name marquee player, and a city with better night life (not that Houston is bad). I predict Miami, but that probably means it will be Chicago or New York. A twenty something millionaire isn’t convinced by things like “no state income tax” and “lower cost of living.”
For the 3 of you still reading, here’s what else is going on. And by that I mean here’s some filler crap about teams you actually care about.
Houston Astros – If you actually read this, and want me to write something daily about the Astros, leave me a comment. Otherwise they will probably slowly disappear.
Houston Cougars – Have some sort of new deal with Barnes and Noble for merchandising. This probably happened because Rother’s The College Store decided to start sucking. I think there is some sort of naming competition going on with the new store, and I was already banned for submitting inappropriate names because I accidentally left out the “o” in Cougar Country. You can enter the contest via a link on UHcougars.com.

I like Astro’s coverage. C’mon, man… it’s the hometown team. Gotta find the positives. Like the current success of our younger players, like Jason Castro and Chris Johnson. Or about UH’s own Michael Bourne representing as an All-Star (GO COOGS!). And the trade deadline is at the end of the month… so (hopefully) there should be some major Astro’s news coming in the next 30 days.

LOLZ…I see Jeff working, you know..with positives smack, but I’d rather read up on the alignment, errrr, football forum at Coogfans to pass time. Mi amigo, THAT is saying something!
