Like this kid, sports currently is taking a nap.If you consider a washed up Chris Webber signing with the Pistons a big move, then you're more of a sports degenerate than I am. And that's saying something.
Notes:
- Jerry Reese is the new Giants GM. Good news: he suggested to the Giants to draft Osi. Bad news: he suggested to the Giants to draft Shiancoe and William Joseph. Hey, in baseball, he's batting .333.
- The Nets are currently becoming the NBA's version of Passions, with all the off the court nonsense. This was suppose to be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Sadly, they're still the best team in the Atlantic Division which say absolutely nothing.
-Speaking of off-the-field stuff, looks like Strahan got taken to the cleaners. Yawn.
-The Rangers lost. Repeat said yawn.
Good news for all sports fans comes this Sunday with the conference championship games and spring training is less than a month away.
Now for plugs:
-Read my good friends Stephen Haynes and Patrick Hickey Jr. blogs, refered to previously in this blog before.
-The Sporting Goods is on today from 2 to pregame, as Brooklyn College takes on Lehman College. Yours truly will be on call for the second game.
Be back later. I need to go get an attitude adjustment.

Why are you yawning at Strahan getting cleaned out? She ain't make one tackle and she's getting 70% ($15.4M) + $18,000/month in child support. Oh, that burns me! How could a man be stupid enough sign a pre-nup like that?
I'll get into it another time. It's 3 a.m. and I've gotta be up at 6:30. In fact, that'll be my next blog entry. Going off on Strahan's self-assisted screw job.
I don't think Shiancoe's been bad...I mean he's the backup tight end, is a good run blocker, and isn't going to see much playing time behind Shockey. Shiancoe's made some nice catches in a few games this year. I don't think you can fault Reese for Shiancoe.
Shiancoe was also an all-Accorsi move, too. Ernie fell in love with him because of his Combine workout. He was benching like a weight lifter from Denmark, had an impressive 40-time (I think it was a 4.60) and a ridiculous vertical leap. And you know Ernie likes to draft guys from small-time programs who haven't accomplished anything, as long as they look good in the workout. Like Guy Whimper last year. And Jeff Roehl (remember him?). And Ron Dixon. And Drew Strojny. And Isaac Hilton. I could go on for a while.
But Vish is one of the ones that's worked out. Under Coughlin, he's developed into a very good blocker. He was great at H-Back in 2004 (then they stopped using him). As a receiver, he'll drop a few and isn't a good enough route runner to get separation downfield, but he's a solid 8-12 yard guy. Since the Giants rarely use the #2 tight end anyway, it would be a waste to upgrade.
btw - I'm "ehh" on Reese. I don't know enough about him to know. We'll see. But if we was the one behind the Kiwanuka and Whimper picks, I hate him and he'll need to find 4 Pro Bowlers in April to redeem himself.
