The Daily Suckie - June 10th, 2005
Well, it's a friday. Usually that means slacking off at work leaving early and being pretty relaxed. But I will make an effort at one thing today, and that is once again ripping Mr. Daniel Shanoff a new poop shoot. Once again in his Daily Quickie (see link on left) Shanoff has made outrageous claims and stupid comments that prove he should not be a sportswriter, even for the heinous outlet of ESPN.com. Today we have:
Enough with the Dynasty Talk!
Myth: "3 in 7" is no dynasty. Reality: What if 3 is sweep? So what? even if it is a sweep, that does not make 3 championships in 7 years a dynasty. Yes, the Spurs are good, but as we've discussed before, they are no Jordan's Bulls or Bird's Celtics or Magic's Lakers. Let it go. Once again you try to make outrageous claims that are obviously wrong. Take this dynasty and shove it where the sun don't shine. Are you eating llama poo again Shanoff?
Who the F Cares?!?!
Myth: PA announcers too loud. Reality: Liven up, S.A. guy!
Myth: Will Smith can rap. Reality: Well...
I mean really...does this matter? Is this sports related? No. Don't bash the Detroiitttttttttttt announcer and then ask the San Antonio guy to be more lively. Plus, are a game's announcers that important, esp to those who watch on TV (which is a majority of the viewers, in case you needed to be reminded, Shanoff).
Complete off-basity (yes it's a word...)
Phil back in L.A. is a D-U-D. Worst. Career-Move. Ever
Actually, LA could really use Jax right now. And his role as a savior will do wonders for the dominant paradigm that he comes to teams that are already very talented and coaxes them just enough to win a championship. Try taking a team where your best player is also a rapist and make it into a contender. I don't think many coaches in the NBA could do that. Granted, I am not rooting for Jax to succeed, because I hate him and I hate the Lakers, but that is what could REALLY happen.
Obvious favoritism
So as soon as the NHL started talking lockout, you said you were happy for the sport to go and laughed at all the fans. But now that the NBA is in labor trouble, you are optimistic and say that nothing will happen and to hold out hope. As a 'journalist' that covers ALL sports, you should not show this type of OBVIOUS bias towards a sport. But the fact that you cover ALL sports is a good thing Shanoff, because pretty soon you're gonna be covering the minor league curling league up in Saskatchewan. Better watch your behind there Shanoff, those guys get a little sexually frustrated in the cold long winters...
Be Bold!
How many "WS Previews" can you predict, Shanoff? In your 'The Big 5', you mentioned that both Twins @ Dodgers and White Sox @ Padres could be World series previews. What next? Is Detroit @ Colorado a possible WS preview?
And with that, I will be signing off for the weekend. Stay tuned for a new Daily Suckie on Monday.
Also needed to give a quick shoutout to my Kickball team, Sorry About Your Daughter, for our 23-0 victory last night in the 1st round of the playoffs. Say WHAT? Say D!
