Mr Moohead Gains Two Games On Leroy. Lenny the Cow Quits Like His Miami Dolphin Friend

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Lenny failed to get his picks in, conceding final defeat after only 11 weeks. So much for Mr Prognostication. Meanwhile, Mr Moohead is back within 3, while Leroy got to see his Seahawks get the ultimate Xmas gift early this year. Here are the current standings:

Standings

Leroy: 113
Mr Moo: 110
Calf: 106

(Big Dog went 10-4 this week, so he’s higher than Ricky Williams).

Correction: The BIG DOG went 12 - 3 (as of Monday) this week…and “should be” 13 - 3 when Pittsburgh beats Miami.

Good Job Big Dog.

A Few Words About the Browns and Cavs.

Monday, November 26th, 2007

The Browns: What a delight watching them claim a home field advantage. Plus no exciting ending this week! It was obvious that the Browns wanted to play smashmouth against the Texans. The good news: Lewis got 134 yards. The bad news: It kept this game artificially close for too long. I seriously believe that giving the ball back to an opponent 3 times up 17-10 isn’t the way this team will consistently win. I understand the sentiment, but we need to step on opponent’s once we get a few holds from the defense. With all the DA talk, no one mentions Winslow, who catches everything in sight. Give props to the amazing 1 knee man, as he leads the league in first down catches as a TE. Don’t forget Joe Thomas, who I still say was a better pick than Adrian Pederson for our team.

The Cavs: We’re winning on the road more than at home. That’s a good early sign about focus. Plus we beat the Hoosiers on a back to back in the 4th quarter. Without Boobie for most of the game. With Sasha getting into game shape…who’s Larry Hughes? LeBron must become more consistent shooting free throws, and we still need a power forward or a point guard. I think we should take a shot at Andre Miller, and shop Hughes. Pavlovic will get Larry’s minutes.

Final words: The Browns are lined up to make a playoff push. It seems unreal. The schedule ahead favors us. The coaches must not forget what got us here, and not turn us into the conservative running machine. The Cavs are a PG away from being very good. Gibson is a mean shooter. A ball distributor like Andre Miller along with LeBron makes the team very formidable offensively. Boobie, Damon and Donyell (when back) can all spot up. Pavs can score. Z would be the beneficiary of pick and pops from more than just LeBron. If I’m Ferry, I figure out a way to get Andre.

LeBron: 37-12-12. The Best Ever. Period.

Sorry to all Jordan lovers. LeBron James has surpassed Air Jordan. He is bigger. Faster. Rebounds better. Passes better. And now he nails the big midrange jumper.

LeBron’s clutch fade away on Delfino is a classic illustration of his improvement. While he’s doing that, he’s also dishing off to DJ and Devin. Not to mention blocked shots, steals and LeBron’s new tough demeanor.

LeBron is the prototype of the future great player, as Jim Brown was in 1965. Only he plays in the present. Players are helpless against him. I seriously believe he could score 50 a night if he wanted to.

I know all the the Bull’s trophies. Screw it. Mano a mano, LeBron is simply a better athlete than Jordan. And he is still improving. This year appears to be a quantum leap for him.

I know that we miss an extra big on the bench. I know our defense is weak. I know we’re running more. The amazing thing is that LeBron is using the faster tempo not only to score more, but to step up his defense. I wish the others would follow suit. For now, I will continue to eat leftovers, and savor another great performance by the best NBA player who has ever played the game. Moo.

Tony the Calf Owes Me Money.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

The Bovine Mafia will be collecting from Tony or else he will be Veal. LeBron single handedly dismantled Tony’s Wolves with a 45 point outburst. Even though Tommy Heinsohn got a woody watching AL JEFFERSON and GERALD GREEN, LeBron guranteed Veal status for Tony. The Bovine Mafia will be travelling to Minnesota tonight. Moo.
