THE WEEK-FISH
By The Fillerbuster
04/15/2018
Segment released weekly highlighting the week’s sports news and other items you should be aware of…or I think you should be aware of…
All my Dad and I caught when I was younger was flounder and weakfish in the Delaware Bay. Play on words…
The weekly items:
- HOOPS:
- The Cavs are so weird. Going into these Game 1’s, the ONE thing I thought WOULD happen is that either A) the Cavs would efficiently take care of business on their home floor or B) The Cavs would barely win or barely lose while LeBron was having a legendary game. Well, NEITHER happened. They got SMOKED. Although I recognize that the Pacers are a real threat, I thought Game 1 would be nighty night for Indiana.
- Stop criticizing Russell Westbrook or his teammates for padding his stats. A triple double is hard to do when you ARE trying to pad stats. Although he needed some lofty stats in the last couple of games to get the TD for the year, you still can’t discount the first 80 games. The guy averaged one AND got them to the playoffs.
- It could have been worse, Denver. You could have blown BOTH sports’ winner take all game scenarios for the playoffs. One for two isn’t the end of the world.
- They will get wasted possibly by t he Warriors, but think about it. There are people drinking in bars right now as old as the Spurs’ playoff streak.
- Jeff Hornacek got a raw deal. Sure, he won 40% of his games and that is bad. But, the guy was forced to run the triangle offense for the first time period and had a hurt superstar for the last time period of his tenure.
- If you can’t get into Andre Ingram’s story of being 32 and playing the developmental league and then scoring 19 points in his NBA debut, then you just don’t have a heart.
- ICE:
- I LOVE the NHL playoffs, but if I HAD to think out of the box, I might steal an idea from soccer in their OT sessions. I watch the teams play in OT and it usually is a quick score before anyone adjusts or a goal in the 2nd or 3rd OT when players are exhausted. I say maybe think about playing out the FULL sudden death the first time around instead of it being sudden death. Just a thought.
- FIELD:
- I was gaining respect very slowly back for Mark McGwire for a couple of years given his silence and then he has to get on a mic and say he could have hit 70 HR’s without PED’s. Stop talking.
- What Ohtani is doing is remarkable. And I hope he has a legendary year. But, I am in it for NJ reasons. I, and I assume every pure baseball fan, simply wants Mike Trout in the playoffs.
- If I am a Boston fan, I expected my team to be good and just am glad for a fast start to a probably great season. If I am a Mets fan, I am asking someone to pinch me so I know it is real.
- FOOTBALL:
- Maybe let’s have Mark McGwire go get drunk with Richie Incognito and THEN put a mic in front of them. Richie is retiring because the stress is killing him. We are too happy for you to leave to make jokes about how we don’t feel bad for you.
- So, let me get this straight. The Seahawks ASK Kap to come in for a workout and then pull that invite because they already popped the kneeling question?? Did they feel the need for the rest of the world to know they are blackballing him for that BEFORE they even see him play? Odd and weird and something is not right.
- RANDOM:
- Westworld Season II is coming, and if you are not taking advantage of this time to catch up, then you need to redo your social schedule.
- Every single season, Silicon Valley irritates me slightly by being all over the board. Then, an episode happens that reels me FULLY back in. Peter coding to the point of defecating, throwing up, and falling into a glass window to his office DID that again to me. It is a show a little off the beaten path, but it comes full circle RIGHT when it needs to.
- I have not been a DWTS guy…like ever. But, I will admit that Tonya Harding and Kareem MIGHT be the closest I will be to turning the channel.
- Yes, the Andre the Giant documentary was well worth the watch time. Just prepare for a little sadder flick than you were prepared for. And, they didn’t spend enough time on Princess Bride.
- I didn’t wear my Masters vest for one day this week. I had to finally wash it. But, it will continue-sorry.
- The funniest thing I heard all week was from my colleague, Marty. Marty is one of the most pleasantly sarcastic people I know. We were talking bands and band names. When I asked him what his old band was called, he told me it was “I Am Miss America.” I was puzzled until he explained to me that they thought it would be funny for unattractive women to buy their favorite band’s shirt and have to walk around with that on their shirt. Absolutely HILARIOUS.
MOVIE: Blockers
I thought I was going for an abrasive joke free for all and constant laughter. What I got was a couple of funny scenes surrounded by parental guidance issues. Cena made the film though and I am a full fan of his acting now.
SINKER: Tie between Worley and Trevor Davis. One does the late night pass out in the car, and the other still thinks bomb jokes at the airport fly (no pun intended).
