5. Michael Beasley -Michael Beasley continued his dazzling display of dominance in the college ranks by notching his second game of over 20 points and 20 rebounds. Against Western Illinois on Saturday, Beasley grabbed 22 boards to go along with his 28 points and is now averaging an even 30 points and 20 rebounds on the season. That's way too many points and rebounds for a freshman, and at this point I demand a full investigation to see how old this guy really is.
4. Jimmie Johnson - The most popular American male name is James, which is often colloquially changed to Jim or Jimmie. Johnson is the second most common surname. I think I have figured out why NASCAR has such an undeservedly huge following, its because apparently the best performer Jimmie Johnson the two time Nextel Cup champion, has that same name as half the population in America. While my last name is surely not popular, I have to admit that I have some kind of subjective affinity to players named Joe. If someone actually had my name and was some kind of superstar athlete, I'm pretty sure I'd be a fan. Then again, I'd probably also spend an exorbitant amount of time pretending that I was that person to get into clubs, get things comped and try to impress women.
3. Orlando Magic - The Orlando Magic snapped the Celtics unbeaten streak on Sunday, beating the big three 104-102 and proving that the Celtics do bleed real blood. The Celtics came back furiously from a 17 point halftime deficit, but came up short when Paul Peirce missed a jumper as time ran out. Orlando used a strong team approach, as they didn't have any startling lines in the box-score, they also took advantage of sloppy play by the Celtics who committed 19 turnovers and sent the Magic to the foul line 44 times compared to their 26 attempts.
2. Tom Glavine - Tom Glavine, the backstabbing member of the Mets pitching staff has finally found happiness with his ex-team, the Atlanta Braves. Glavine spent five unimpressive years with the Mets compiling a record of 61 and 56 and shared mutual unappreciation with the city of New York. Last year during his chase of 300 wins, we endured Glavine's uneasy address of Met fans at Shea, not to mention more face-time for Tom Glavine's wife than that of the entire Met infield. Glavine's Met tenure culminated with the second worst outing of his career when the Mets needed him the most, giving up 5 hits 2 walks, and 7 earned runs in a third of an inning. There is no way that the hall-of-fame pitcher did this unintentionally as he probably already had visions of more tee-times with his BFF John Smoltz on his mind.
1. Houston Dynamo - Don't know much about soccer but I do know that with the Houston Dynamo defeating the New England Revolution 2-1 to win theMLS championship on Sunday, that they have prevented the New England area's bid for a clean sweep of every American team sport championship. Everyone was getting a little tired of NewEnglanders walking around so smuggly , and it's good to know that we as a nation have this Revolution defeat in our back-pockets. Although if it ever came to us having to use it I wonder what would be more annoying, Boston fans, or us resorting to using soccer as a valid American sports argument.
