HOLD OUT PANS OUT FOR BREES

Drew Brees patience paid off in one hundred million, ten year contract.



Today he signed the biggest contract in the NFL.
MLB contracts that have loomed above us, A-Rod, ($275 Million for 10 years) and Alex Pujols $240 Million 10 year, now almost pale as the leading QB statistically has now set a new bar.  
Guaranteed 60 million for the 1st three seasons and $40 million for the 2012 season commencing Monday.

Now, remember professional baseball players play 161 games a season. 
NFL players play 16 games in the regular season.
So many looming rumors of his somehow attachment to the "Bounty Games",  that occurred in New Orleans, now just go the waysides....

Congratulations Mr. Brees, average salary $20M, (2012)
Followed by;

2. Peyton Manning: $19.2M (2012)3. (tie) Tom Brady: $18M (2010)3. (tie) Peyton Manning: $18M (2011)5. Julius Peppers: $16.7M (2009)6. Mario Williams $16.67M (2012)7. Eli Manning: $16.25M (2009)8. Calvin Johnson: $16.21M (2012)9. Carson Palmer: $16.17M (2005)10. Larry Fitzgerald: $16.14M (2011)

At least New Orleans has their QB locked in!
All a great buzz that the season is starting!!

Football is HERE!

                            BAND WAGONERS OR NOT



NBA FINALS 2012



Are you a fan of Oklahoma City or a hater on Miami?


I've only been a fan of The Thunder for 3 seasons, 

They pulled me in, was tired of all the single star teams. 
Constantly being blown away how one could miss not only one but two FT, as a professional basketball player!
(Granted I couldn't do it, never had the height, or desire; football another story) and one player holding the weight of a team.

Team is just that, its not an individual sport, it doesn't even have the stats that carry in baseball.  I became enamored by Oklahoma City, just for this reason.

First rooting for the underdog, then I claimed last season once they win the big one, they'll rule the NBA for a decade. 

That is if they keep what they have, the essence at least. 
A tough feat in the world of professional sports teams however with trades and money on the collar, but there is something special in that locker room.  Something I think you need to look at.

I love the TEAM they are!   
The humility they display, 
the youth 
and the fact that there are no pre-madonnas!
Along with a coach who seems to understand what they are.   
Has steered them or kept them focused on the basics along with seeing their assets and the right amount of encouragement.
They play basketball 101!


But I think it will be a close Final, amazing basketball being displayed.  
Although I think Thunder will take it but I think it'll go 6 games.  

Especially if Lebron, Wade and  Bosch can mesh. This team also has a lot of things stacked against them, all the haters for what they did.  But take a closer look, you have 3 superstars joined on one team, what they were able to adapt with last season and this year to solidify all means the same as well, they play like a team, when they win.  It says a lot even to all the haters. 

If your anywhere near Oklahoma City or Miami, take advantage of history in the making.  No matter what the price, you'll be viewing History!

Back to basics In #LBC

Stepped in on #Agenda Thursday 
felt like I sidestepped into 1991
ASR, back to basics sans all the big snowboard booths.

One to two spaces max no super booths for the most part those were only maybe 4-6 but not outrageous.
Quite refreshing - spaces decorated with boards as well!
It was cool- no hype trying to get thru surf either or jammed walkways with Reef lurkers.

DMX in da house, Berrica reppin hard - congrats at Steve! Wow! It's it's own entity! 

Home recouping with minimal sleep.

Best part seing closest friends & ones I hadn't seem in a bit!

STUNNED FANS, MEDIA AWES, FANS OUTRAGE, LA, QUESTIONS???

STUNNED FANS 
MEDIA AWES
FANS OUTRAGED
LA
QUESTIONS?

WELL FIRST OFF, YES, I WAS SURPRISED AT THE OUTCOME OF DEAN SPANOS DECISION TO STAY COURSE WITH HC NORV TURNER AND GM AJ SMITH

MY MIND FLOODS WITH QUESTIONS
ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND AGAIN THIS MORNING.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT PREP & RESEARCH DEAN SPANOS DID??  

SO A FEW SENARIOS……………
LET'S JUST SAY, AND MOST LIKELY WELL NEVER KNOW,  DEAN SPANOS OR A FEW COLLEAGUES DID TALK TO FISHER, COWER AND GRUDEN'S PEOPLE…….

LET'S SAY THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH
AND/OR  WHAT I TEND TO THINK A VERY IMPORTANT THOUGHT, THAT THEY WOULD NOT COME TO SAN DIEGO WITH AJ AT THE HELM.

AND IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT I DO, NO PASSIONATE FIERY COACH WOULD COME TO SAN DIEGO WITH AJ IN PLACE, NOT ANY I BELIEVE IN.

OK, AS YOU SEE MY THOUGHTS ARE ALL OVER THE BOARD
AS THE SAYING GOES   
IF ITS NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT!   ISN'T THE  FLIP APPLICABLE??

AND IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT PLAYERS AND ANALYST STATE 
THAT A TEAM TAKES ON THE PERSONALITY OF IT'S HEAD COACH
WOULDN'T YOU ARGUE THAT SOME CHANGE WAS WARRANTED?

ANOTHER THOUGHT………..LETS SAY THAT NORV WAS TO BE FIRED……

DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE LONG LIST OF CONTRACTS ON THE TABLE, MOSTLY OFFENSIVE PLAYERS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FACTOR?  

DON'T YOU THINK THAT NORV WOULD HAVE RALLIED TO TAKE THESE PLAYERS? 

CONTRACTS EXPIRING AFTER 2011 SEASON

TE     RANDY MCMICHAEL
RB     MIKE TOLBERT
C     NICK HARDWICK
T    JARED GAITHER
WR   PATRICK CRAYTON
FB   JACOB HESTER
WR  VINCENT JACKSON
WR  RICHARD GOODMAN
OL  BRANDYN DOMBROWSKI
OL  SCOTT MRUCZKOWSKI
OL  TONY MOLL
TE KORY SPERRY
WR BRYAN WALTERS


LB    NA'IL DIGGS
NT  ANTONIO GARAY
SS  STEVEN GREGORY
DT  TOMMIE HARRIS
DB  PAUL OLIVER
LS MIKE WINDT

ANOTHER PONDER……..OR PROOF IN REGARDS TO JUMPIN SHIP
LOOK AT THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY THAT WASN'T EVEN REGISTERED TO VOTE.  VOTED FOR OBAMA OUT OF IGNORANCE OR DESPERATION OF WANTING CHANGE, BUT BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR ,LOOK AT WHAT OBAMA HAS DONE…………….
WERE YOU THAT OBLIVIOUS OR IN DIRE STRAITS TO THINK THAT HE WOULD DO WHAT HE SAID?
JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT

LA.......RUMORS HAVE BEEN DRIFTING ALL OVER FOR A FEW YEARS, MY DAD IS ACTUALLY FRIEND'S WITH THE DEVELOPER, HES BEEN TELLING ME FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS YOUR CHARGERS ARE GOING TO LA.  RECENTLY I HEARD HINTS THAT REFLECTED THAT FROM RELIABLE SOURCES.

NOW THAT I'VE VOMITED MANY THOUGHTS TRAPPED IN MY HEAD, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR WHAT AN OWNER WOULD SAY, THAT WOULD BE THE INTERVIEW I'D LIKE, BUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE OFF THE RECORD.  WHAT AN AMAZING PERSPECTIVE THAT WOULD BE!

I DO WANT TO GIVE BIG PROPS TO THE DARREN SMITH SHOW ON XX1090.
MARTY CASWELL THE PRODUCER (EXTRAORDINAIRE)  WAS ABLE TO GET ALL THE MOST SIGNIFICANT GUESTS AND DARREN WOOED ME WITH HIS DIRECT QUESTIONS AND FANTASTIC INTERVIEWING.  ALSO, PAUL RUDY AT KUSI PUT TOGETHER AN AMAZING PACKAGE ON THE CRAZY DAY IN SAN DIEGO.

IT ALL REMINDED ME OF THE FIRES, IT WAS A MEDIA HAY DAY!
