Pistons and my Man Card...

A.I. is coming to Detroit. Let that sink in for a moment. Allen Iverson... will be a DETROIT PISTON come Tuesday morning. What gets me is that he has to pass a physical. Anybody else ever actually think about what they are telling us? Ball cuppage and coughing. That's what I hear when the news reporter says "after he passes a physical." (I just re-read what I wrote... I feel a little bit like Tobias) Seriously?! Of course this isn't the only thing I think, I just wonder to myself if that is the physical they must always pass. Imagine, a guy who constantly gets traded or is consistently signing with a new team. They ALWAYS have to pass a physical. I don't like where I'm going with this so back to the Pistons.

A.I. is coming to Detroit. Let that sink in for a moment. Allen Iverson... will be a Detroit Piston. I suppose the bigger news is that Billups and McDyess (unless Denver buys out his contract and he comes back) are going to Denver. huh... and this whole deal could breakdown because of a Physical! Imagine the doctor walks in and ... well I will stop here for all you kiddos out there. Bottom line... will the Pistons make it back to the Eastern Conference Finals? The only way this trade is considered a success is if the Pistons make it back to the Finals. Would I want to put my reputation on that.... Sorry Joe D. my answer is no. (Editor note: I still think they have a great chance to win it all)

I just came across a realization of where my life currently is and subsequently this same realization caused me to change the title of this blog. See originally I titled this blog "Round 2... will the Pistons make it past it?" but then this realization slapped me across the face, I have to take my own man card away. Why? Here I am watching MNF Steelers vs Redskins. My Fantasy team has two guys playing in this game and I am only up by one point and my opponent has Hines Ward. I have Pittsburgh's DEF and Washington's Kicker...

Side Note
Fantasy Football has created a great dilemma for me. Look at my current situation. I like Pittsburgh, so I want them to beat Washington. I have Pitt's DEF thus going with my original want. However, I want the Steelers to succeed but Hines Ward not to do too much to hurt my Fantasy Team (as I type Carrie turned the game back on the Steelers blocked a punt and recovered it... this is seriously ruining my blog. Dang it! Now Carrie is bored and just left the room. This is dumb. Not only did I upset Carrie but the recent series of events just ruined where I was going.)

Side Side Note
I will never ever again blog about real time events. Life is truly too unpredictable for me to keep up with it.

Okay, I am back on track (lol they just showed Barack and McCain on MNF ready to be interviewed... I just broke my most recently rule, dang it) Anyway, I was going to say how I should have taken away one of my man cards for allowing Carrie to turn off the football game when its a REALLY good game to watch Scrubs. However, I have come to a new conclusion... It is better to be a man without man cards, than to be a man with an angry, slightly annoyed 9 month pregnant wife. (she isn't really that bad but I sure feel bad)

Due to the overwhelming response I got to the Last Call in my first Blog... I am going to keep it. (Yay!)

Last Call
If you are a parent... or have been put in charge of a baby... please please please DO NOT walk down the middle of the busiest road in Grand Rapids (Chicago Dr) during rush hour in the center turn lane with a stroller and a 9 month old baby in it looking around like you are lost. No joke I saw this happen today.
