Daily Random Sports Thoughts 12: The Philadelphia Eagles

February 26th, 2010

Welcome to the 12th edition of "Daily Random Sports Thoughts"!

For those not familiar, I pick a team, player, or any other topic in sports that I have five random thoughts about. If you like 'em, read 'em! I try to get them on here every day!

Today's lucky random sports topic is...the Philadelphia Eagles!

1) In McCoy we trust! I don't think Westbrook has much more in him. He has and will spend the rest of his career as a game-time decision. McCoy showed us that he has what it takes to be an NFL back.

2) DeSean Jackson is our playmaker, but Celek is our 'ole reliable. He is our No. 1 target and has the numbers to prove it!

3) I want Donovan McNabb gone! Reid isn't far behind either!

4) But I have accepted that McNabb's not going anywhere. At least, not this season. I think that we should go with Kolb, but I understand the idea of trying for one more Super Bowl push before letting D-Mac go, if they do.

5) Although we have, in my opinion, the most explosive offense in the league, we have to look at the defense, as well. With Dawkins leaving, it left a big hole at safety. I don't think we're smart relying on, say, Macho Harris to fill that giant hole. We need to look for a hard-hitting safety in the draft, as well as a linebacker. Bringing Jeremiah Trotter back just seems to me like enough reason.

So thanks for reading today's daily random sports thoughts! Good luck next year, Eagles!

Johnny Damon: Daily Random Sports Thoughts 11

February 24th, 2010

Welcome to the 11th edition of "Daily Random Sports Thoughts!"

For those not familiar, I pick a team, player, or any other topic in sports that I have five random thoughts about. I'm trying to get an article on here every day.

Today's lucky random sports topic is—Johnny Damon.

1) Congrats on finally signing with a team! It's a shame you didn't come back to the Yankees, with that great "lefty-pull" park, but congrats on becoming the newest Tiger!

2) But seriously, you were thinking about the Tigers even after you left the Red Sox? Come on! Does anyone besides me think that that's just a case of a guy trying to say all the right things? How does he remember that? It was in, like, the 2005-2006 off season! I can barely remember homework assignments from last night.

3) And Johnny, I gotta say, you kind of threw the Yankees under the bus a little bit in your interview with MLB Network. "I kept trying, kept talking. I wanted to come back, but when they go out and sign Nick Johnson before me......."

4) And Barry Larkin also recommended that you grow the hair back. Sorry Barry, but bad idea. Ballplayers should look like ballplayers, and cavemen aren't usually looked at and thought of as such.

5) None the less, I'm sorry to see you go! "Johnny B. Good" was a big part of the 2009 team, and it's sad to see him depart.

So thanks for reading today's daily random sports thoughts. Good luck in 2010, Johnny!

2 Days Until Pitchers and Catchers Report…

February 16th, 2010

But a few are arriving early.

According to Anthony McCarron of the Daily News , Curtis Granderson reported to camp today. He joins a group that includes Derek Jeter, Francisco Cervelli and Eduardo Nunez. Pitchers Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan, David Robertson, Alfredo Aceves, Chad Gaudin and AJ Burnett are also there.

Position players aren’t supposed to report until February 24. So while everyone is early, the position players are very early. Although this is nothing new for Jeter who reports early every year.

McCarron also reported that Granderson has no problem switching from center to left field, but we already knew that. He’s been working out along with Gardner in center with coach Rob Thompson. I’ve also heard that just for versatility sake Gardner has been working out in right field. If I find the link where I heard that I’ll update this post.

Daily Random Sports Thoughts 9: Dustin Pedroia

February 15th, 2010

Welcome to the ninth edition of "Daily Random Sports Thoughts!"

For those not familiar, I pick a team, player, or any other topic in sports that I have five random thoughts about.  If you like 'em, read 'em.  I'm trying to get 'em on here every day!

Today's lucky random sports topic is...Dustin Pedroia!

1) How tall are you? And please, give me the truth. I've heard people say that you're 5' 9'', others say 5' 5'', and some claim that you are three-and-a-half feet tall. What's the real thing?

2) Hey, I read your article in the Boston magazine a year or so ago. In "Dustin Pedroia Comes Out Swinging," you said A-Rod was "a dork" (which I believe), and that your hometown of Woodland, Calif., was "a dump." What are you gonna do this year to get attention?

3) I love the way you play. You get dirty, hustle, and go all out. When I play, I try to go just as hard as you. That's the way baseball is supposed to be played! Thank you for being a great example!

4) Just saying, Dustin, but you are the only Red Sox guy I like. I'm a Yankees fan, so keep that a secret, okay? Shhhhh!

5) I read your book "Born to Play," (great book by the way), and I loved it. I'm pretty small myself, so it's good to have someone to look up to who is small and succeeding. But I was just wondering...Is swinging a bat really your earliest memory?

So thanks for reading today's random sports thoughts! Good luck this season, Dustin, but (don't take this personally) I hope you guys as a team finish last!

Daily Random Sports Thoughts 8: Brett Favre

February 14th, 2010

Welcome to the eighth edition of "Daily Random Sports Thoughts!"

For those not familiar, I pick a team, player, or any other topic in sports that I have five random thoughts about.  If you like 'em, read 'em.  I'm trying to get 'em on here every day!

Today's lucky random sports topic is...Brett Favre!

1) Will that last interception in the playoffs be your last throw? No one knows!

2) If you decide that you're going to retire, STAY RETIRED!!!! All this constant indecision on your part drives me crazy.

3) If you do come back, let us know early, please! I'm sick of there being all this talk about if you will come back or not. I mean, come on! You can't turn on ESPN without them giving you updates like every five minutes!

"Brett Favre has just entered the bathroom. His last run was 13.5 seconds on the dot. Hopefully, nothing is wrong with him.............."

4) Hey, I know that you are going to be a sure-fire Hall of Famer, but is one championship enough on your résumé for you? Oh, wait! Ohhh geez, now I'm encouraging you to consider coming back! Forget I said that, okay??!!

5) But still, you had a great season. You showed everyone you could still do it and do it well. Nice job.

So thanks for reading today's random sports thoughts! Good luck in 2010, Brett! (or not)
