Hello,
Let's go back to the 70's. Remember it was the era of disco, bellbottoms, afros, lots of sex, the Carter Presidency and a few other things we'd like to probably forget. Sadly quite a few of these people who brought us this music have passed away.
Yes, I know I've missed quite a few songs. I hear people saying "Where's Donna Summer?" or "Where's The Bee Gees" or 100 other acts. And for all you Commodores haters, listen to those amazing songs again.
I stumbled across this song last night. I was flooded with memories and a huge wave of nostalgia. What a great song!
Lobo's "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo":
Dazz Band "Let It Whip":
Alan O'Day's "Undercover Angel" to some old school "Charlie's Angels" clips:
More memories: England Dan and John Ford Coley's "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight":
Randy Van Warmer's "Just When I Need You The Most":
Paul Davis' "I Go Crazy":
All these sad songs that bring all these memories and feelings rushing back, I don't remember being that sad. Robert John's "Sad Eyes":
This is such an all-time classic, it gets me every time. Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch":
Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun":
Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died":
Bonnie Tyler's "It's A Heartache":
Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again Naturally":
Steven Bishop's "It Might Be You":
The Dr. is in the house: Dr. Hook's "Sharing The Night Together":
Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat":
The Three Degrees "When Will I See You Again":
You can't have a 70's tribute without the amazing Commodores, "Still";
The Commodores again, "Sail On":
This might be the song most associated with the 70s:
One of the funkiest songs ever, "Brick House":
A bit obscure, but a pretty cool song. The Polecats "Make A Circuit With Me":
Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff":
One of the most classic of 70's classics. Part of what makes this song so great is the singer's voice. He has a unique and a very great voice. Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing":
Dickey Lee's "9,999,999 Tears":

Stevie Wonder, Four Seasons, Surprising NBA Results from 5/8/2012
Hello,
I'm starting off with the amazing Stevie Wonder. I love how funky this song is, especially the beginning.
Four NBA playoff series went into last night's games with one team up 3-1. All those series could have ended last night, surprisingly only one of them ended. The first game of the night, Indiana-Orlando, was the only one to end. No loss there as that was a boring series, probably second only to the Jazz-Spurs series. Now Indiana can rest before they are destroyed by the Heat. The Heat will finish off Team Hype tonight and I won't be surprised if they sweep the Pacers. Then the Heat will rest before they play the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In another Eastern Conference series, somehow the Hawks were able to beat the Celtics last night. The Hawks couldn't buy a call from the refs. I also never had the feeling that the Hawks were actually going to win that game. Yet they fought hard, endured and somehow won. I'm not a Celtics hater, but I intensely dislike Rajon Rondo. I've disliked the prickly Rondo since his days at Kentucky. I loved that final play the Celtics ran for Rondo. It seems Coach Rivers play was for Rondo to over dribble and then run into the teeth of the defense, getting caught between the Hawks defender and the sideline. It was a brilliant play Rajon.
However Boston is just too good for the Hawks and they'll win this series in 6 games. Can I please not write anything about that incredibly ugly Bulls-76ers game? Okay, just a bit. Without Derrick Rose, the Bulls won this game 77-69. Keeping the score so low may be the only way that the Bulls can win now. Too bad for the Bulls they now go to Philadelphia for Game 6. I expect the 76ers to close it out at home.
I also expect the Lakers to win their series in 6 games. But how good was that last night that the Nuggets went into LA and beat the Lakers 102-99? Andrew Bynum failed at predicting the winner of this game. He said "Close out games are kind of easy....." I understand and mostly agree with what his thought, but why give the Nuggets any more motivation? Do I think that the Nuggets have a chance to win this series though? No, not even close. By winning in LA, I'm upgrading the Nuggets chance of winning this series from .001% to .002%.
And as much of a hater I am of Kobe Bryant, I have to admit he was amazing the last 5 minutes of last night's game. He hit 4 three pointers in the games final five minutes, with one or two of those being very spectacular. I watching highlights this morning of his incredible performance. As he shot one of those three pointers, I thought to myself there's no way that shot is going in. However it went in. I looked for highlights on youtube.com but couldn't find any. I still see the Lakers winning this series in 6 games, but that sixth game will probably be a battle. Props to fellow Ute, Andre Miller, for having an amazing game for the Nuggets.
Ron Arrest will be back for Game 7 of this series or Game 1 of the Thunder-Lakers. I expect that second round series to start Sunday.
A couple of other quick sports notes. There seems to be some shock that Cris Carter admitted that he paid for bounties when he played for the Minnesota Vikings. Why is anyone surprised by other players and teams having bounties? That's the main thing I've hated so much about the whole New Orleans Saints bounty issue. I imagine that nearly every NFL team had some sort of bounty system. While the Saints were stupid in the way they handled their system, they seem to be unfairly selected to make an example of. Honestly though this story needs to go away, it's received too much attention.
I hate the NFL's alleged justice system. Speaking of unfairness why has Roger Goodell made himself judge, jury and executioner? Then if an individual or team wants to appeal, they have to present their appeal in front of Goodell. As my daughter says "That's unfair". But in this case she would be right. The NFL's appeals system is completely unfair. Come on, how many times is he going to overturn himself? Never? Once?
Congrats to Josh Hamilton for his amazing 4 home run- 8 RBI game last night. Are the Rangers (20-10 and 95.0 Playoff %) this season's team of destiny? After coming so close the last couple of years, is this the year they finally break through and win the World Series? Can anyone besides Hamilton himself stop Josh Hamilton? It's amazing how hot of a start he's had this season. After last night's performance it looks like Hamilton could run away with the AL Triple Crown. In RBIs he leads the second place player Edwin Encarcion, by 11 RBIs. Hamilton is also hitting .406, will he make a run at hitting .400 this season? (Hamilton would look great in Dodger Blue next season. Just saying.)
"Argo" is a movie is based on a story from a magazine, Vanity Fair I believe. I remember both the Iranian Hostage Crisis and reading that article. It's an amazing story and I hope that Hollywood doesn't mess it up too much:
The other night I was looking for something to watch on TV. I just wasn't feeling it to watch "Smash" or "Revenge". I wanted to watch a guaranteed hour of quality TV. Somehow I stumbled across an episode from one of my favorite all-time television series "Cold Case". I loved that show, from Lilly Rush to all the other amazing characters surrounding her. It reminds me very much of "Castle", in that both have a funny and diverse set of characters.
It always amazes me to think of how much I liked "Cold Case" yet Veena Sud had something to do with producing it. Sud is the producer who has her clumsy fingerprints all over "The Killing". After watching the first two episodes of "The Killing" Season 2, I've stopped watching it. It's just too dumb and they keep on telling the same boring story over and over again. And from looking at the plummeting ratings, it seems I'm one of the many that has stopped watching the show. Season 2 started off with less than 2 million viewers and it has dropped about another half-million viewers since then.
Anyway "Cold Case" must have had a strong person to override some of Sud's worst ideas. Apparently there's no such person on "The Killing". What I really liked about "Cold Case" was how effectively they used music to tell the story. In the episode I watched the other day, "Boy Crazy", they used music by the Four Seasons as well as others so effectively. This episode's storytelling was great, and as a parent very gut wrenching. Hearing the girl calling out for her Daddy was unpleasant.
In honor of that great show and that great episode, here are some of my favorite Four Season songs. Enjoy.
"December 1963 (Oh What A Night)":
"Walk Like A Man" (Live):
"Big Girls Don't Cry":
"Sherry":
One more, "Dawn":

NBA Playoff Breakdown: Let's Hope Round 2 Is Much More Interesting.
Hello,
I love the Minions:
Cinderella's "Nobody's Fool":
These two videos are inspired by conversations on the "Share Music With Friends" group I'm in on Facebook.
Cake's "Rock N' Roll Lifestyle": I love the line "Excess ain't rebellion, you're drinking what they are selling".
From my iPod this morning. The Damn Yankees "Where You Goin' Now":
The Jazz's playoff run came to an ignominious end last night. They worked hard all season to be able to make the playoffs. Again my question is why? They were completely dominated by the Spurs in what may be the least competitive 2012 playoff series. Will those 4 playoff losses really pay some benefit in the future for the Jazz? Somehow I doubt that. And also by making the playoffs they hurt their upcoming draft position.
But the season is done now for the Jazz. Moving forward I would love to see the Jazz add a real point guard in the offseason. Neither Devin Harris, Earl Watson or Jamaal Tinsley are NBA quality starting point guards. I'd love to keep either Watson or Tinsley as a 3rd point guard for next season. In my fantasy world the Jazz would sign Steve Nash for the next two to three years. I would also like to see the Jazz get a young point guard and Nash can groom him. Theoretically the Jazz would be set at point guard for the next several years.
I would also love for the Jazz to get a consistent outside threat, someone to open up the floor for the big guys inside. The last consistent outside shooter that played for the Jazz was Jeff Hornaceck. He's now an assistant coach with the Jazz, let's hope he can pass on his magic touch. Last and not least I would love for the Jazz to be able to defend the 3 point shot better (at all?). Last night the Spurs only shot 37.8% from the field. However they made 45.5% of their three point shots, making 10 of 22.
According to Hoopsworld Draft Pick Debt, this is Utah's 2012 first round draft status: Receives Golden State’s 2012 first-round pick (top-7 protected in 2012 and 2013, top-6 protected in 2014, else 2014 and 2016 second-round picks) via Utah (from the Marcus Williams trade on 9/29/09) from the Deron Williams trade on 2/23/11."
In other words if the Warriors have the 8th pick or worse the Jazz will get their pick. That would be their only first round pick though. However it's quite likely the Jazz won't have a 2012 first round draft pick. That means for the Jazz to fix their weaknesses, they would need to go the free agency or trade route. However many players have been notorious about not wanting to come to Salt Lake. Derek Harper and Rony Seikaly being the two most obvious examples.
Three pointers can really swing the momentum of a game, almost certainly even more than a dunk. Stating the obvious here a three pointer is worth 3 points. A tie game can go to a 6 point lead on two made shots. A three pointer can either fuel or stop a rally. The thing that drives me crazy about the Jazz is they always seem to be on the wrong side of those three pointers.
Many time for those on the wrong end, you could say a three pointer is a cannonball to the gut.
Of the 8 playoff series that the 2012 playoffs started with, two of the series are already over. The Spurs swept the Jazz and Oklahoma City swept the Mavericks. The other six series are still going, but are on life support. One team has a 3-1 lead in all 6 series. So after an amazing first day in these playoffs, the first round quickly turned into some pretty drab basketball.
The following 4 series could end tonight, honestly I'm hoping that's exactly what happens.
1) The Pacers lead the Magic 3-1 with Game 5 tonight in Indiana. The Magic looked like they were going to make this a series when they won game 1 in Indiana. Unfortunately for them, that has been their peak so far. It's been nice not to have to hear Dwight Howard whining any more though, could he be injured more? Pacers in 5 games.
2) The Celtics lead the Hawks 3-1 with Game 5 tonight in Atlanta. The Hawks continue Atlanta's horrible trend of playoff mediocrity with their latest dismal showing. Does anyone think the Hawks still have a chance to win this series? I didn't think so. Celtics in 5 games.
3) The 76ers have thoroughly dominated the Bulls as Chicago continues losing players to injury. Game 5 tonight will be played in Chicago. Do the Bulls have enough left to force this series to a game 6? They might, but do we want a Game 6 in this series? NO! It's time to call on Chicago's 3 ex-Jazz players to lead the Bulls to victory. Okay, I was kidding. Out of all the first round series, this is the one most likely to go to a 6th game. Chicago still has a tough defense and a great coach. Even if Chicago wins tonight I still expect the 76ers to win the series. Philly in 6 games.
4) The hated LA Lakers have a 3-1 lead over the Denver Nuggets with Game 5 in LA tonight. Never for one minute did I think the Nuggets had a chance to win this series. However I did love them winning Game 3 and pushing the Lakers to the brink in Game 4. Look for the Lakers to step on the Nuggets throat tonight and win easily. The only question about tonight's game is will the Lakers win by more than 20 points. Lakers in 5 games.
The Lakers advancing tonight will set up what might be the second round's best series: Oklahoma City vs. The Lakers. I'll be cheering for the Thunder with all my might. I'm a proud Lakers and Kobe Bryant hater. Ron Arrest will be back for the Lakers. I expect a hard fought 7 game series. That will include an epic battle in Game 7 in Oklahoma City to determine who'll go to the Western Conference Finals. However I would love to see the Thunder sweep the Lakers and for James Harden to get a measure of justice against the cheap shot Artest.
Then let's hope the final two first round series end tomorrow night. For some reason I've been extremely bored by the Grizzilies-Clippers series. I think part of that is I'm tired of the Chris Paul and Blake Griffin hype. I thought either team could win this series, but I did expect a much better effort from Memphis.
Then to me the most interesting series of the first round has been the Heat-Knicks series. Team Destiny vs. Team Dysfunction. I thoroughly expected the Heat to dominate this series and I look for them to blow out the Knicks tomorrow night. The alleged superstar, Carmelo Anthony, hasn't exactly thrown the Knicks on his back. After shooting 34% in the first 3 games, Anthony finally shot above 50% in Game 4. He made 15 of 29 shots on the Knicks hard fought victory over the Heat. I expect both he and the Knicks to resume their mediocrity in Game 5. I'm glad I'll be able to watch that game. Heat in 5 games. Go Heat!
In honor of the New York and the Beastie Boys, but not the Knicks:
Just like every Carmelo has several bricks a game:
With all 8 series being one-sided it's completely possible that there will be no playoff games Thursday and Friday. I sort of expect some "help" from the NBA so at least one of tonight's series will continue on.
For the second round, I'm wondering is anyone clamoring for a Spurs-Clippers showdown? How about Boston-Philly? Maybe a generation ago when the 76ers had Dr. J and Moses Malone. Do the Pacers have a chance against the Heat?

Songs involving People or People's Names, Jazz Playoffs: Sigh
Hello,
Hannah Storm showed up this morning in a figure clinging purple dress on ESPN's Sports Center. Wow! No one has the right to look this good so early in the morning. This might be the same dress she was wearing this morning.
Last night the Jazz were beaten about as bad as a team can be beaten. That was quite possibly one of the ugliest playoff losses ever. They were destroyed by the ruthlessly efficient San Antonio Spurs 114-83. This is why I didn't want my Jazz to make the playoffs, they are just not in the same league as the Spurs. Not only are they getting humiliated but they'll get a lesser pick in the NBA Draft. Karl Malone says that each playoff game counts as 10 regular season games. Let's hope so, because other than that the Jazz aren't gaining much from these playoffs.
Teams have had vastly different results in these playoffs when they are without a star. We all know how much of a crippling blow the Bulls took when Derrick Rose was lost for the season. The Bulls first full game after losing Rose for the season was a beat down at the hand of the Sixers 109-91. That game was played in Chicago. The Celtics played Wednesday night without Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo and won. (The same game where Paul Pierce tebowed.) The Celtics were also playing on the road.
Tonight's Heat-Knicks game should be interesting. The Knicks are without Jeremy Lin, Iman Shumpert and Amare Stoudemire. I honestly don't consider the Knicks, without Stoudemire, as much of a loss for them. He can't even beat a fire extinguisher in a fair fight. But the Heat will probably be without Chris Bosh. I don't care who plays or doesn't play tonight, I still expect the Heat to win tonight's game. The Knicks have a chance to break a NBA playoff record tonight. If they lose they will set the record for most consecutive playoff losses- 13. Good luck Knicks, that couldn't happen to a more deserving team. I only wish I could watch it, but I'm grateful for my job.
Finally, the Braves-Phillies had a wild game last night. Atlanta ended up winning 15-13, yes it was a baseball game. 40 year old, and playing in his last season, Chipper Jones hit the walk off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning. With that victory the Braves improved to 15-10. More importantly they broke the Phillies 8 game winning streak over the Braves. (Although in an afternoon game today, Philly resumed their winning ways over Atlanta. Philadelphia has really owned the Braves the last couple of years.)
Congrats to the Angels Jered Weaver for pitching the second no-hitter this season. I had the pleasure of seeing him play for the Angels Triple A affiliate in Salt Lake. He looked great in that game and I'm not surprised by how well he's doing.
Today's song theme involves people or people's names. I thought of this idea after hearing "Jane Says" and "Mr. Brownstone" while exercising this morning. Speaking of working out hearing "Paradise City", "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Mr. Brownstone" can power an amazing workout. Thanks Steve Jobs and everyone else at Apple responsible for the amazing iPod.
Besides a name my only other criteria is the song has to be amazing. While I did think of songs like "Biko" and "Arnold Layne", neither is a favorite of mine.
I would also like to thank my friends and fellow music lovers on the Facebook group "Share Music With Friends".
I have a cute girl on my mind lately:
As I'm working on this blog, I've noticed how few songs mention men's names. This is one of the few I found: "Henry The 8th". I love this goofy song:
The amazing Simon and Garfunkel and "Mrs Robinson":
Rod Stewart's "Maggie May":
Hall and Oates "Sara Smile":
Boston's "Amanda":
John Denver's "Annie's Song":
This is an amazing and beautiful song, "My Cherie Amour":
Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie":
Toto's "Rosanna"
Honestly I'm not a big fan of the original "Layla", but this version is amazing:
I'm only posting this because I love the Minions, they are hilarious:
Now here's the real version by The Beach Boys. On their 50th anniversary tour, they are playing 2.5 hours and singing 42 songs.
To be fair here are a few songs using men's names:
Guns N' Roses "Mr. Brownstone": (okay Mr. Brownstone isn't actually a person):
Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood":
This song is amazing live. Pearl Jam's "Even Flow", yup Even Flow is a person:
Jane's Addiction's "Jane Says":
You never know what you'll find on youtube. This is a band named Nightwish. Wow, this actually is kind of cool.
Regardless of genre, these are two of the best singers ever. This is the amazing Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. Brightman's voice gives me the chills it's so amazing.
Sadly a band that never lived up to their potential, but this is an amazing song. The Knack's "My Sharona":
A couple of classics about the Jones family, first from the Counting Crows:
This is a very powerful song. Billy Paul's "Me and Mr. Jones":
Last but not least. Some say this song is annoying, but I love this song. It rocks and it's fun. Sadly the actual video for this song's embedding is disable by request. (Sarcasm alert: That's too bad I was going to monetize a nearly 30 year old video and become a very rich man.)

Hannah Storm showed up this morning in a figure clinging purple dress on ESPN's Sports Center. Wow! No one has the right to look this good so early in the morning. This might be the same dress she was wearing this morning.
Last night the Jazz were beaten about as bad as a team can be beaten. That was quite possibly one of the ugliest playoff losses ever. They were destroyed by the ruthlessly efficient San Antonio Spurs 114-83. This is why I didn't want my Jazz to make the playoffs, they are just not in the same league as the Spurs. Not only are they getting humiliated but they'll get a lesser pick in the NBA Draft. Karl Malone says that each playoff game counts as 10 regular season games. Let's hope so, because other than that the Jazz aren't gaining much from these playoffs.
Teams have had vastly different results in these playoffs when they are without a star. We all know how much of a crippling blow the Bulls took when Derrick Rose was lost for the season. The Bulls first full game after losing Rose for the season was a beat down at the hand of the Sixers 109-91. That game was played in Chicago. The Celtics played Wednesday night without Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo and won. (The same game where Paul Pierce tebowed.) The Celtics were also playing on the road.
Tonight's Heat-Knicks game should be interesting. The Knicks are without Jeremy Lin, Iman Shumpert and Amare Stoudemire. I honestly don't consider the Knicks, without Stoudemire, as much of a loss for them. He can't even beat a fire extinguisher in a fair fight. But the Heat will probably be without Chris Bosh. I don't care who plays or doesn't play tonight, I still expect the Heat to win tonight's game. The Knicks have a chance to break a NBA playoff record tonight.

Great 69c songs from iTunes Available For A Limited Time
Hello,
Wow I just heard, Rest In Peace Junior Seau.
Rammstein's "Du Hast":
Sugar Ray's "Fly":
Blink 182 aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. The actual video for this song is lowest common denominator stupid and the lyrics aren't very smart either. However this is an incredibly catchy song.
Marc Cohn's "Walking In Memphis":
Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me":
The Darkness' "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" When I heard the amazing new Foxy Shazam CD "The Church of Rock and Roll", I was reminded of this band. Talking to someone I trust he said the lead singer of the Darkness, Justin Hawkins, produced that CD.
Theory Of A Deadman's "Not Meant To Be":
I'll close this part of the blog with a couple of Staind temporarily priced .69c songs on iTunes. The first song is "So Far Away".
"It's Been Awhile": (Sorry not the greatest sound.) The language will offend some.
Carrie Underwood's new CD "Blown Away" was released yesterday. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I'm hoping a review will be coming soon.
Speaking of reviews: I've been very surprised that both Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly have given good reviews to "The Avengers". Maybe it's one of those movies that's a lot better than the trailer would have you believe. For "Thor", the movie was a lot better than the trailer indicated. The trailer didn't even show the very cool Frost Giants. Now was "Thor" a great movie? No, but it was good for what it is, a summer movie. My standards tend to be a lot lower for summer movies. Sometimes it's just nice to be in a nice air conditioned theatre in the hot part of the year.
Random NBA playoff thoughts: Am I the only one who is surprised by how much the 76ers dominated the Roseless Bulls last night? Of course, it's easy to look good when you are shooting 59% from the field. I'm not a Bulls fan, but the playoffs won't be as good without the presence of Derrick Rose. I expect Coach Tibs to make some adjustments and I still see Chicago winning this series.
Why was Paul Pierce tebowing last night? Congrats to Tyson Chandler for winning the defensive player of the year. That will be the postseason highlight for the Knicks. With the extinguisher punching out Stoudemire, I expect the Knicks to actually look a lot better tomorrow. I predict Amare's absence will work out to be a good thing for the Knicks, they'll realize how average Stoudemire is. But will they be able to find anyone to take on his egregious contract? Doubtful. So what will they do with him for next season? Stoudemire is one of those players that I never want to see playing for "my" team, the Utah Jazz.
Also I found it interesting that two of the players involved in one of the best college football games ever are back in the news on the same day. That's Vince Young and Matt Leinart. After watching the classic 2006 Rose Bowl, where Texas prevailed 41-38, I thought that Vince Young was going on to be a NFL superstar. Young's Rose Bowl performance was simply one of the greatest games I've ever seen played by a college football player. I'm not quite as surprised that Leinart didn't have a great career, but I expected better. Yes, I'm talking about him in the past tense, despite him flirting with Oakland his career is essentially over.
I love how well the Dodgers are playing. They jumped to a 7-0 lead over the Rockies last night. The Rockies gave me quite a scare as they chipped away at the Dodgers lead. However the Dodgers held on to win 7-6. That was a big win and a gut check game for the Dodgers. The Dodgers are an amazing 17-7 and lead NL West second place team Arizona by 4 games. According to espn.com, they have a 63.3% chance of making the playoffs. However I expect both the Dodgers and Matt Kemp to cool off a bit. I wonder what the new Dodgers ownership group will do around the trading deadline. Will they go out and get a new bat or a new stud starting pitcher?
Speaking of the Magic Johnson led ownership group, they now officially are the new owners of the LA Dodgers. Thanks Magic (the face and presence), Stan Kasten (the baseball brains) and Mark Walter (the money). You're new ownership group has already made a dramatic change in the Dodgers fortunes. Things are a lot more happy for us Dodgers fans. Now I expect them to find a way to win, instead of finding a way to lose. Last night's game is a good example of their new determination.
Meanwhile the Red Sox, sad. I know it's still early in the season. But this Red Sox team just has that air of inevitability that this isn't their year. They'll still score a lot of runs and win a lot of games. Heck they might even make the playoffs, although that's very doubtful. But to win the World Series they need to learn how to win more consistently at home. Also all those bad signings in starting pitching are coming back to haunt them. They badly overpaid for Daisuke Matsuzaka and John Lackey. Although both are owed a lot of money, neither will ever be productive pitchers for the Red Sox.
Also remember to avoid the Karl Malone radio show, "Thru My Eyes" today. Avoid ESPN700 on the radio and online from 4:00 to 6:00 MST. Today's show will probably be as bad as last week, it's a good thing he has Bill Riley to carry the show. If not it would be even more of a train wreck. Even the title of his show isn't original. The lame Tim Tebow wrote a memoir titled "Through My Eyes".

"Prometheus", NBA Western Conference Real Playoff Seedings, Amare Stoudemire
Hello,
This is the international trailer for the upcoming movie "Prometheus" It sort of is an "Alien" prequel. It also sort of isn't. According to wikipedia.org this isn't an actual prequel to the Sigourney Weaver trilogy. From wikipedia.org: "Conceived as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, rewrites of Spaihts's script by Lindelof developed a separate story that precedes the events of Alien, but which is not directly connected to the films in the Alien franchise" Now I know there's no way this movie will be as good as this trailer makes it look. However I'll still probably see it opening day. I love how the music is used to create fear. Isn't that some of the freakiest music you've ever heard?
Okay since I promised this yesterday, here is my "real" Western Conference Playoff seeding. You'll notice this is almost exactly the same as the actual playoff seedings.
1) San Antonio: The Spurs easily beat the Jazz in Game 1 of this series. The Spurs-Jazz and Lakers-Nuggets could be the two worst playoff series in this season's playoffs.
2) Oklahoma City: they lead Dallas 2-0 in their first round series. A lot of people are criticizing the Thunder for how narrowly they won the first two games in this series. It doesn't matter how close the games are, it only matters that you win.
3) LA Lakers: it doesn't seem like they'll miss Ron Artest against the Nuggets. Look for the Lakers to go up 2-0 after another easy victory tonight.
4) LA Clippers: Again it doesn't matter how they won, it only matters that they did.
5) Memphis: It seems there weren't any extinguishers near as the Grizzilies walked back to their locker room after the game.
6) Dallas: they are doing better than I expected, but they are still down 0-2 heading home. Not that it matters, they probably won't win this series anyway. I don't think they are missing the moody Lamar Odom or the Kardashian circus any. I'm glad the Mavericks are losing, I hated their winning the NBA title last season. Dirk Nowitski is one of the best all-time shooters and still a great player. Unfortunately for him, this Mavericks team has much less talent than last season's team. Tyson Chandler went to the Knicks and the miracle shooter JJ Barea is now out of the NBA. (Okay not really, he's playing for the Timberwolves.) Did you even remember him or realize he was still in the NBA? Berea had success last season when he was the 4th option, but now he has virtually disappeared. Good riddance to him. Also it looks like the Jet has crashed, I still can't believe Jason Terry has been as successful as he's been. He's shooting pretty well in this series though.
7) Denver: They looked like they didn't even belong in the same arena as the Lakers.
8) Jazz: The Jazz are just here to get some experience for future playoffs. They are still a true Deron Williams like point guard away from competing for actual playoff success. I would love to see Steve Nash end his career as a member of the Jazz. I don't see either the Nuggets or Jazz getting to a 6th game or even put a legitimate scare into the teams they are playing.
I watched and enjoyed the last third of the Heat-Knicks game last night. I love seeing Miami completely dominate the Knicks. I'm amazed that no matter how mediocre Carmelo Anthony plays, his reputation remains left in tact. Although I found out this morning that I'm not the only one of the Anthony band wagon. Thanks to Colin Cowherd, he quoted this stat this morning. In the 9 seasons Anthony has been in the NBA, he has only advanced past the first round of the playoffs once.
One of the announcers quoted another illuminating stat about the vastly overrated Anthony last night. I don't have the exact stat, but it's something like: In his last 7 playoff games Anthony has shot under 30% 4 times. Anthony was 12 of 26 and 6 of 9 from the free throw line and scored 30 points last night. Wouldn't quite a few NBA players be able to score 30 points on 26 shots from the field? Anthony also had 9 rebounds and the Knicks were "only" outscored by 11 points while he was on the floor last night. In a stat more representative of what I see of Carmelo Anthony: In 45 minutes he had 1 assist. Shouldn't you get at least two or three assists by accident?
The Knicks, losers of 12 straight playoff games, now go home 0-2. After the game and apparently in a fit of anger and stupidity, Amare Stoudemire punched a fire extinguisher case. He was apparently pissed off that he only had 9 shots. No word that he punched the case because the Knicks lost. It seems Amare didn't get the memo that this is Anthony's team. This short sighted behavior typifies this self-centered Knicks team. Instead of filling Madison Square Garden with assists, rebounds and solid defense Amare pouted during the game. Then in pure stupidity he punched the case. He'll probably miss Thursday night's game and possiblythe rest of the series. However I actually expect a better effort from the Knicks Thursday night. I think they might be a better team without Amare whining on the floor.
I hate the modern spoiled, whining athlete as personified by Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and Amare Stoudemire.
Some thoughts about the Dysfunction Junction known as the Knicks. Why did they pair Anthony and Stoudemire on the same team? Didn't they want anyone to play defense? Why do they defer to Anthony so much? How much fun would it be to add Dwight Howard to this team? Would this be the first team to have fights on the floor with each other? They would fight to receive the inbounds pass so they could bring the ball up the court. They would know that's the only way they would get the shot. There would be virtually no defense and a lot of selfish play- of course that's not much different than the current Knicks team.
Other random Knicks related questions. How dumb is Amare? Will the NBA suspend the fire extinguisher? Will the Knicks get another big man for next season? What will happen with Jeremy Lin?
Tomorrow: iTunes 69c songs that are worth your money.
