May 24th Houston Sports FaF Smear

You better learn to crawl before I walk away.

Two scoops, please.

We all have to admit that even though the home team is out of contention these NBA Playoffs have been pretty darn entertaining.  Gee, golly.

Even though the Nuggets seem content throwing away the game (literally) on bad inbounds pass after bad inbounds pass every game has been close.  No 30 or 40 point blowouts.  Each of the underdogs seem like they have a chance.  Not even just a chance.  Everybody seems even.  There is no turning the game off half way through the fourth quarter because the game is out of question.  This is obviously part of the vast conspiracy of David Stern.

The Lakers beat the Nuggets 103-97 (in case you missed it and Fourth and Fifty is your only sporting news source) last night to take a 2-1 lead in the series.  Tonight, the Magic are back home with the all-important home-court advantage against the Cavaliers.  Will LeBron pull out another ridiculous shot to win the game with one second on the clock that I miss because I’m taking a piss?  Let’s hope so(?).

And now a message from your Houston sports:

The one where Reginald Blackstone’s championship pick is already out.

Things are back to the way they should be.

Is it right to “hate” someone when that person tends to ignore your existence or is that the only reason?  There’s no fun in that.  UT and A&M have always been the target of UH fans.  UT more so.  But, why?  Penis envy?  Funds envy?  Jock envy?  Either way, I picked against both UT and A&M in the first round in my bracket.  It’s nice to see that even though I was wrong they didn’t make it past the second.

I have no justification for my bias whatsoever.  I have friends from both institutions.  I don’t even really hate the towns of Austin or College Station.  But, it’s something about seeing those colors on the court or field that just makes me want to punt kittens into Buffalo Bayou.

So, sorry to Longhorn and Aggie fans this morning.  Something like that.  At least you have next year.  UH has more of a 4 year plan when it comes to any of this.  – FML [Ed. Note – If you haven’t checked out FMyLife.com yet, I recommend it]

The one where I’ve got my flippy floppies.

Yep, that's where it hurts.

It’s no secret that I’m an Eagles fan.  It says so in my “bio” and I have a Nerf football to prove it.  So consider my relief when I heard that Donovan is not going to sit idly by while his team does nothing in the off-season to bolster the club.  He truly is a Philadelphia hero.  He’s never bitched, whined, complained or been mistaken.  McNabb is going to hold off on considering his contract extension until the Eagles get their act together and improve the roster.  Good show.

Among the first improvements?  Finding a new F’ing QuarterB.  This is getting ridiculous now.  Nobody here is saying that Kevin Kolb should be given the opportunity to start (but we are).  I wouldn’t wish the brutal Philly environment on our hometown hero.  Something has to change though.  Start at the top (cough ANDY REID cough) and work your way down.  If Reid goes, the umbilical cord can finally be cut and Philadelphians can finally get on to love/hating someone else.  It’s a win-win situation here.  There are only so many insults you can hurl at one starting QB and the NFC East.  Wait. What?  Never mind.  We’re pretty creative up there.
