I hope this reaches the DC Metro, Richmond and Virginia Beach Webwaves...
Greetings from the Adventure of the Seas!... I'm currently in the Caribbean recharging my batteries for the next Redskins/Virginia Tech/Maryland marathon from late July's training camps through next April's NFL Draft.
So far my goal has been to 1-not lose all my money at the casino, 2-not get massively sunburned and 3-not get hung over on the local "spirits". Done, done and done. And I've only had my heart broken twice this week (Vegas over/under set at 3 and a half).
Still, I can't get away from work on vacation--
I'm seated at dinner this week with MIKE WOOD. Formerly a tight end at Hofstra, he's been recently signed to the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. He's probably on track to play in NFL Europe next year.
Also at my table--three people from Ireland who couldn't stop talking about the Pakistani cricket coach's death-- I'm glad Bram was overseas when it happened so he could talk it up on the show to give me fodder for the conversation.
Lastly--I couldn't stop thinking another Pistons meltdown. Joe Dumars, this is on you. After constructing a dynamite TEAM-- and putting the perfect coach in charge-- you allowed his stay to become so unenjoyable he ran to the quagmire that is the Knicks. If Larry Brown is a happy coach, who's to say they don't repeat in 05? And if Brown's their coach the past two seasons, you'd have to think they'd get through to the Finals-- especially with homecourt advantage.
Instead of a team with multiple titles (and perhaps a young Carmelo Anthony or Dwyane Wade instead of memories of Darko) you've got an aging squad minus your best defender (Ben Wallace) coached by Flip Saunders. OUCH.
Back to the sun, the beverages and who knows what else.
