re: Penny Hardaway wants to go to the Heat

Posted by GuruGeaux on 7/16/10 at 2:32 pm

Here's an option for the Heat: over-the-hill retired vet who has slimmed down to his playing weight, ego-driven, lacking a championship ring, known for great passing skill in his time, instant hit with the Miami fan base - but the question is will Dan Marino sign for the NBA minimum....

Is Charles Barkley still in D-Wade's 5? Maybe a phone call would convince him to hush up about LBJ, take the league minimum, and come get that ring that eluded him....

Tottenham Hotspur is named for a Shakespearean character/ historical figure who supposedly was an ancestor of my favorite novelist, Louisiana's Walker Percy. So that's a cool lame reason for me to pick a team. But I guess I'm looking for someone who should stay in the hunt and be exciting to watch...

Yeah I watched the Cup, rooted for the Americans and the teams where I have family roots (Italy, Spain, and Germany.) I was in awe of the Brazilians in 2002....

re: Which Conference Do You Dislike The Most?

Posted by GuruGeaux on 7/15/10 at 9:56 am

I can't stand watching Big 12 games that don't involve Oklahoma and the big 3 Texas teams, and I really hate the attitudes of OU and Texas fans. While I hate the idea of mega-conferences, watching the Big 12 implode is a plus....

Looking for a Team

Posted by GuruGeaux on 7/15/10 at 9:52 am

I've only really followed soccer during the World Cup the last 12 years. I'm wanting more and plan to get into watching the Premier League, maybe La Liga. I know that I should hate Man U because they are evil, but who should I root for? Keep in mind my only allegiance outside of local teams is to th...

Shaq made a lifetime fan of me in 1990 when I asked him for his autograph in the quad. I was maybe 5'2" in the 8th grade, and he saw me hovering trying to decide whether to come over or not. He asked me how did you know it's me when I'm wearing shades. Then he took my notebook and drew his name with...
