Wednesday has become one of my favorite days of the week. Well, that’s not entirely true. Choosing between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Hump Day is clearly my favorite.
Now that Wednesday is properly ranked behind Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (Thursday TBD), I can enjoy what is a veritable cornucopia of sports on the slate.
MICHAEL VICK RELEASED FROM PRISON
The embattled, felonious quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons has served his time after being convicted of heinous crimes related to a dogfighting ring.
The details surrounding this case are beyond grisly and some people will not be able to forgive Vick for the things with which he was connected and involved.
He must show genuine remorse and a willingness to atone for his crimes and actions. If he does that, I’m all for allowing him to return to the NFL in 2010.
I think that denying him the chance to play football would amount to double prosecution for the same crime. I realize that playing football is an honor and not an inalienable right but if he’s truly been rehabilitated then I say let him play.
ALL EYES ON SANCHEZ
With the exception of Randy Johnson, the Giants starting staff has been down right awesome this year. That is, aside from Jonathon Sanchez.
Will he ever be consistent? That is the eternally burning question surrounding the left-hander. He has had good innings but not many good starts.
With Joe Martinez getting ready to come back and young studs looming in the bullpen, it’s time to deliver or go to the ‘pen for Johnny.
LEBRON MVP CREDENTIALS ON THE LINE
King James clearly deserved the Most Valuable Player award for his performance in the regular season, but that’s a thing of the past now.
It’s all about being the postseason MVP, and that quest starts tonight against Orlando.
I think the Cavs roll tonight but the Magic will not go quietly in the series. I like the Cavs in 6.
SANTA CLARA COURTING NINERS
The city council of Santa Clara met regarding the Niners stadium plans in their city and resolved to meet again.
Nothing makes the needle move like a meeting to set the stage for a future meeting. The PTA at my kids’ school has more political muscle that that.
Wake me when the moving vans arrive.
