Here we go sports fans. I have bit my tongue for too long, I cannot take this current state of sports anymore and I think the world needs to know what is wrong. Let's start with last weekend and Tracy McGrady. We all believed your rant with Stephen A. Smith when you proclaimed that this was your year to take your team past the first round. What you should have said was I'm going to put on the greatest playoff performance I have ever done, and it's the fault of my teammates for not caring as much as I do. It will come down on T-Mac because of the claims he made, and we all will blame T-Mac for not making every shot he took and making every defensive stop. Let's be honest though, Yao Ming is the most unathletic 7 footer since Shawn Bradley. Yao plays like he is 6'0 and has absolutely no desire to change that. When a 7'6 guy is getting beat by a 6'8 guy on rebounds, can you say HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM. Then on Sunday when Roger Clemens made his triumphant return from the boss' suite on his white horse by signing with the Yankees. Great for Roger, you get to pitch when you want, show up when you want, and get paid a lot of money. Bad for the Yankees, Roger is not going to tutor the young guys, he is not going to start and close, and he is not going care about anything but Roger Clemens. This might be the only time in my life when I applaud David Wells for calling out Roger Clemens. I thought what he said might go over at least a little bit better for what Wells said, but I suppose that's what happens when you are the first to point out the obvious. Side note to the rest of the PGA...if you ever thought you had a chance of winning a tournament, that is now gone. When Rori Sabbatini called Tiger "beatable" it was like telling Wayne Gretzky that he can't score, or tell Michael Jordan that he crumbles under pressure. If anyone thinks that Tiger is going to just let those words be said and not do something about it you are wrong. Are we so short to forget about his run at the end of last year when everyone around golf said that Tiger had come back to the same level as everyone else. Shame on you Rori...you have only awoken a sleeping giant. Well that's going to end this rant, but as long as athletes and people in sports are making themselves to look like idiots...I will be there.

Funny thing, I never remember Shawn Bradley averaging 25pts and 9rebounds a game. Nor did I ever consider Raef Lafrenz, Vin Baker, Robert Tractor Traylor, etc. who have played center since Bradley, as being more athletic than Yao. Yes, Yao can improve his rebounding, but I did not know it was his responsibility to block out all 4 power forwards that the Jazz put in on the floor at one time.
