As I was watching the Nuggets open at home against the Detroit Pistons last night, I overheard someone make a comment, "Really? There's sports going on during the election?". I couldn't help but laugh, as a nation we decided who our next president will be, but that doesn't mean that the world stops to watch. Especially America, where we are always busy, and have something to do. Even the election coverage, I guess that watching that coverage is pretty similar to watching a sporting event. In this case, this would be what we call a blowout. The University of Colorado's football team should be familiar to what Mitt Romney is feeling and going through today. But nonetheless, sports were still played, orders were still taken, gas was pumped and we as a nation made an important decision together.
Now, on to the Nuggets! After an 0-3 start, they needed to get on the right track, and they showed they can with the way they played last night. Starting center Kosta Koufas, had a great game down below, and Andre Iguodala is looking like he is getting more and more comfortable in this fast paced offense. But it was the bench, with Andre Miller, Javale McGee, Corey Brewer, and Wilson Chandler, that came in and wore down the Pistons.
Yes, it is early in the season, and a lot of people find it difficult to get into basketball this early. I say, let's get excited. We have an excellent football team, and a really talented basketball team, all going on together, we should get this city rallied and ready. I got pretty pumped up myself when McGee, drove it down the middle and slammed it down in the 3rd quarter. Expect to see much, much more of this! Tonight they take on the new look Houston Rockets, with Jeremy Lin, and newly acquired James Harden who is averaging over 30 points a game. Next home game is Friday night, against the Utah Jazz.
Just found out that Trindon Holliday of the Broncos got AFC special teams player of the week with his franchise long 105 yard TD return on Sunday! It's good to see our special teams make a play once every 8 weeks in the season! Keep it up boys, and you might make another great play yet!
The Colorado Rockies have announced that Jason Giambi, and Tom Runnels are out in the managerial search, and that former Rockies shortstop Walt Weiss, and former Giants infielder Matt Williams are now the front runners. If the Rockies want to get the fans excited, the better decision would be Walt Weiss. But the smart money is on Matt Williams, not taking anything away from Weiss, but Williams has a little more experience working at the professional level. Whoever they decide, they need to get on the ball quick here. Rockies fans are patiently waiting to see which direction to get ready for. It would be nice to have owners that actually knew what baseball was, so don't get too excited, the Monforts are good at making terrible decisions, just breath with me people!!!
Shua out!!
