The NBA

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:04:37 -0600

Last night I went to my first NBA game in nearly 10 years. While I had fun, and will probably go to another game this year, I was reminded why I stayed away from the game for so long.

Granted most of these are nothing new, but here goes. (also posted to twitter, but wanted to post it here as well)

Why the NBA is horrible in five parts.

Shocked at how poor the talent level is with too many players. This is true with college basketball as well, which I still do enjoy.
Absolutely no flow to the game. Too many whistles, fouls, and other stoppages of play…
The “And 1/continuation” pretty much needs to stop. Either cancel the foul if the shot goes in, or give them the FT point automatically
It didn’t happen last night, but the final minute of a NBA game is the most ridiculous time in sports.
Regular season vs Playoff intensity. Same issue as hockey and it needs to be addressed somehow.

I love all the empty space around the swimming platform. It shows how the lake is both huge and peaceful. The figures of the people become very small, and what makes the shot is the person jumping from the platform and appearing especially tiny surrounded by all that water.

Cleveland: 2,500+ homes for sale for less than $50,000.

350+ homes for less than $10,000.

This is what Kansas City looks like as well. My brother-in-law just bought 2 houses for $9k. Total.

Bringing Paul Bunyan's Axe to Kohl Center fired up Gophers

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 09:17:26 -0600

Bringing Paul Bunyan's Axe to Kohl Center fired up Gophers:

Five or six Wisconsin football players brought Paul Bunyan’s Axe to the Kohl Center midway through the third period on Saturday. The crowd of 13,000 at Kohl Center went wild. The Gophers, already ahead 2-1, scored their third goal exactly 2-1/2 minutes after the axe was shown.

This was the turning point in the game. The Wisconsin crowd went nuts when the Axe arrived, and the Badgers nearly scored, but the Gophers responded, silencing the crowd with the two goal lead.
