:07—Congratulations to all the high school championship teams from our area. A great season…top level play. No major trouble or problems to speak of and the continuation of great young champions from Western, Pa.
:06—Jahlil Okafor had better change his way of thinking and quick. If you think that because you’re 7’ tall that you can walk around Philly knocking people out, you are sadly mistaken. They will “cut you” in Philly and not give a damn about your win/lost record.
:05—It bears repeating because I repeated it. “Creed” is the movie of the year. The Rocky Balboa storyline is there, but the way Sly Stallone reinvented the new look, new direction, new characters, new music…it’s good, really good. Four basketballs for the Italian Stallion. (I told ya before “5” basketballs are hard to get and goes to the likes of “The Godfather,” “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “Casino,” and “The Magnificent Seven” just to name a few.
:04—Michigan State Spartans beat the Iowa Hawkeyes 16-13 in an obvious hard fought contest to win the Big Ten championship. The win throws the Spartans into the 3rd seed for the national championship. They will play second seed Alabama in the Cotton Bowl Classic in Texas on New Years’ Eve.
:03—This just in…The New England Patriots are not invincible. They bleed the same blood we all bleed and they damn near bled to death at Foxborough, 35-28.
:02—So you still have a hard time taking my word for it. Well you’ve got Goggle…Google Pete Maravich…a/k/a “The Pistol” and you be the judge. Steph Curry has work to do to be as great as Maravich was. My man, he averaged 44 a game in college…without a 3 point shot. C’mon man!
:01—You see me, you stop me, you ask me what’s next! Then the next time I see you, you’re like… “Oh, my bad!” So here we go again. Me trying to hook you up.
