The (Eddie) House Always Wins (But Not in This Case)

I know what you're thinking. Why would Tony Parker cheat on Eva Longoria? I don't know. But I think we can all agree that this is another mark against the French and that things have been all downhill since they were kind enough to help us out with the whole American Revolution thing. Even more important than continuing to insult the French is the matter of examining Tony Parker's decision making. Not with the basketball in his hands leading the fast break, but with women. Eva Longoria is clearly ranked second on this list of attractive WAGs of athletes while Erin Barry is (quite generously) given the number five spot.

                                                       Certainly Brent Barry's better half

Stats Don't Lie

The first three weeks of the NBA season have been, statistically speaking, awesome. Rajon Rondo notched 24 assists while posting a triple double and Kevin Love helped himself to 31/31/5. Even the 29th ranked Milwaukee Bucks offense scored 41 points in a quarter with a forward pairing of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Drew Gooden. And that's just the list of performances that have come against the Knicks! (Note: How do you know you’re a hardcore NBA fan? When you can spell Luc Richard Mbah a Moute without a Google search. Also…Szczerbiak.) History will undoubtedly be made again this week, as I anticipate the NBA will present its’ player of the week award to an athlete from the NFL for the first time since Mark Sanchez threw it down with surprising authority after a touchdown against the Raiders. Mike Vick’s dunking this past Monday was only metaphorical but his performance against the Redskins leaves David Stern no choice because, well, did you see that guy??? There is no word yet on whether he will also capture the MLS and NHL player of the week awards, mostly because no one cares if the aforementioned awards do, or do not, exist.
