5. Quentin Richardson - As the only Knicks starter not to score 21 or more points in a 119 - 112 victory over the Nuggets, Quentin Richardson made sure that too many cooks did not spoil the broth. And judging from Quentin's pudgy build, the last thing he wants is spoiled broth. His seven points were also coincidentally the margin of victory, making them the most important seven points of the game. More importantly, those seven points ruined George Karl's night, as earlier in the week he was quoted as saying that the Garden was his favorite place to win games. It's a shame he wont have the chance to do so again this season unless the Nuggets and the Knicks meet in the NBA Finals.
4. Paul Byrd - Less than three weeks after published reports indicated that Byrd purchased $25,000 worth of human growth hormone from an anti-aging clinic the Cleveland Indians picked up a $7.5 million team option on the 37 year old soft-tosser. Long-time proponent of tougher performance enhancing drug rules in baseball, and long-time blowhard, Curt Schilling also inked a contract for next year signing a $8 million dollar deal. The fact that Paul Byrd's perceived value is only $500,000 less than that of Schilling, a veritable hall of fame candidate tells me that I need to get my hands on some HGH immediately; if we all take HGH at Garbage Points then maybe we can get almost as many readers as the more well known sports blogs - it's a perfect parallel.
3. Priest Holmes - In an unlikely turn of events Priest Holmes, after an almost two year absence from regular play in the NFL may regain his starting position at running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. Two years ago fantasy football players everywhere that selected Larry Johnson in their drafts reaped the benefits of a monster season when Priest went down with a severe neck injury. Now the Priest seeks Penance from those that were ruined by his 2005 injury and took the chance on him this season. With Larry Johnson bound to miss at least this week with a sprained foot, I for one think that Priest has a good chance to match Johnson's 2005 stats when he ran for 1750 yards and 20 TDs mostly after taking over as the starter. I'd advise all fantasy managers to get Priest in their lineups for this week especially since due to the difference of severity in the injuries, he may only have one week to compile all of those stats. I know in my league's scoring system that's a whopping 295 fantasy points! You cant leave that kind of production on the waiver wire.
2. Strippers - NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell made a lot of aspiring actresses and veterinarians happy with his decision to uphold the full season suspension of Adam "Pacman" Jones. If Jones was granted reinstatement after 10 games, a condition that Goodell suggested would be considered, one would have to assume that Jones would start to eat lunch at the Titans team facilities instead of his daily trips to the local strip club lunch buffet. In his attempt to refurbish the NFL's image Goodell has killed two birds with one stone. He keeps the troubled pro-bowl corner-back off of the field, reinforcing his hard-line stance on personal conduct and at the same time he shows that the NFL truly cares about showing benevolence to single-mothers.
1. Chris Paul - Chris Paul set a Hornets team record by dishing out 21 assists in a win against the Lakers. More impressive was the fact that he only played 35 minutes. 6 of the 21 assists were on Peja Stojakovic three pointers as the sharpshooter returned to his Sacramento Kings shooting form knocking down 10 shots from beyond the arc. Paul found time to also drop in 19 points while passing the basketball around like it was a hot-potato. This performance solidifies my theory that Chris Paul is the awsomest! And apparently Kobe Bryant feels so as well, commenting that "Chris Paul, he's a fantastic player. He's really something.", yep Kobe that's right he is something, hes the awesomest!
