My nomination for the Album of the Year Goes to...
You may know him as the former tight (and I mean TIGHT) end for the Indianapolis Colts.
Or, you may know him as the tight end for the stupid stupid Bengals.
However, I now know him as HUNKROCKSTARCOBAINMEATDOCTOR.
You look at this album cover and probably think "Wow, if Chad Kroeger dies, then we know who the new God of rock music is". You then pop in the CD, and the immediate sound that fills your ears is like a thousand beautiful women orgasming gloriously at your command.
With tracks like We All Bow Down (I believe this was written during his tenure with the Colts, and is obviously about Peyton Manning), Heal Me (an ode to the many trainers Utecht has had throughout his career), So Far Away (Carole King cover), Glimpse of Heaven (another song about Peyton I presume), and Run To You (written after this one time where Peyton Manning got sacked and Utecht was really worried and so he ran back to check on Peyton and see if he was ok or not and Peyton said he was ok but Utecht still was afraid for his safety and Dallas Clark only jogged towards Peyton to see if he was ok so him and Utecht got into an argument about the speed in which they should be checking on Peyton if he ever gets hit and this led to a restraining order by Peyton and thus Utecht is now a Bengal), this album is sure to be a hit!
James' rating: Five out of five stars plus a thumbs up and three smiley faces.

Quick Rambling Pre-Game Thought
So it was clear in the Bulls series that Boston had to slow it down to win. Chicago was by far the more athletic team, and the Celtics best chance lay in defending in the half court, not in the transition. Now the boy's in green find themselves matched up against one of the best interior players in the game surround by a slew of 3-point shooters, and their strategy is going to have to change if they want to advance.
Dwight Howard affected the Celtics desire to take it to the hole far too much in the first half of game 1, and that is reflected by their complete lack free throws before the break. Picking up the tempo of the game will give the Celtics looks at the basket before Howard can set up and start changing shots. We saw that Rondo can be contained in the half court if Rafer Alston gives him some ground and forces the jump shot. On the break however, Orlando has no hope of stopping Rondo without putting him at the line.
Of course this all hinges on the Celtics ability to get a few stops. If Boston can run off of some steals and defensive rebounds early in the game, the Magic might be tempted to match their pace which will effectively eliminate Howard from the contest.

Surgery
Leon went under the knife today at New England Baptist Hospital and the procedure was deemed "successful" by the team. He had his torn ACL and meniscus repaired in his left knee. Even though he's only 25, this is the third surgery he has had on that knee. He's worked hard before to rehabilitate but there is only so much reconstruction that the body can withstand. I continue to be bummed out by this and can only hope a team takes a chance on him this summer.
And in other sports news, there is stuff going on.
UPDATE: Apparently he also had microfracture surgery. Can't make this stuff up. That combined with the ligament repairs could mean that Leon might not be able to play until well into next season assuming everything heals correctly. Microfracture surgery isn't as serious as it once was (see Stoudamire, Amare) but I'm sure the rehab isn't a walk in the park. I've been reading some other sites saying that we shouldn't feel too bad since he's made roughly $2 million in three years. To that, I quote the great Mark Wahlberg. "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself."

FIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT!
Okay, NBA, it is clear you want the Celtics-Bulls to go seven games to show the young team coming into their own against the aging defending champs, but seriously. Brad Miller throws Perk down and Perk gets called for the foul. Then Scal knocks into Mill---WHOAAAAAA!
Kirk Hinrich and Rondo. Bang! Boom! Bam! Tommy Heinsohn is LIVID at Brad Miller (for being a baby the last few nights) and Hinrich (for this fight).
Rondo with the flagrant one, Hinrich with the tech.
Considering Chicago's hatred for Rondo, maybe Tony Allen can lend Rondo a bodygaurd.

BROWNGASM!!!
Yesterday was single handedly the greatest draft day of my life since Peyton Manning was taken #1. My two favorite things in the world (no, not weed and blowjobs) collided in an ultra amazing conglomeration of football boner power! With the 27th overall pick in the 2009 draft...the Indianapolis Colts selected...
Now, as a UConn fan, I wanted the Colts to take Brown. Did I think they would? No, not a chance. The most pressing needs were for defensive tackle and a replacement for Marvin Harrison, right? Wrong. The genius of Bill Polian is often overlooked, and much was the case this time as many horrified Colts fans couldn't figure out why we would draft another running back. After all, we do have Joseph Addai, and he was good for about 230 yards total last season.
31st rushing says it all. The Colts needed a running back, and they needed a workhorse.
But what about Chris "Beanie" Wells?
He sucks, he'll be broken within a month in the NFL, and he's twice as hyped as Brown without the skills to show for it. Just trust me on this.
Once Peria Jerry was drafted, I knew the Colts would go for a skill position. I was thinking Hakeem Nicks was the logical choice at this point. I am happy that he went to my second favorite team, and ought to compliment Eli Manning nicely.
But back to Donald Brown. He's a good guy, he's a GREAT running back, and is going to surprise a lot of people. Around these parts, everyone knows who Brown is, but over in Indiana he's not so popular. Yet.
My jersey will be preordered by the end of the week.
I have to say, I giggled a bit. I jumped up and down and said some things that would lead people to question my sexuality.
#31 may soon rival Peyton Manning as my favorite player of all time. THAT'S how excited I am about this pick.
Additionally, the Colts took defensive tackle Fili Moala, who is a total badass and great pass rusher.
Jerraud Powers ought to be a nice hard hitting addition at cornerback. He can't blow as many coverages as Tim Jennings, can he?
Terrance Thomas and Austin Collie combined to make me excited about a 4th round for the first time in my life. Collie reminds me of a more reception oriented Dallas Clark, so he'll be a great short yardage route runner for Manning to look to when time is short. Thomas will plug up the middle very nicely.
The Colts also took Curtis Painter, who will battle Jim Sorgi for the job of holding Peyton's clipboard. I don't think Painter is being groomed to replace Manning, but maybe they see him as a Matt Cassel in the rough? Who knows.
Anyway, I will continue enjoying my post-Draft Day happiness and let this sink in a bit more.
