Sorry to have to cut this one a little short. Schedule didn't go quite as planned today, so I wasn't really able to include anything that wasn't written last night.
Well, except for one thing. Footbawful news of the day: The Vikings have waived Randy Moss. Aside from this being absolutely hilarious in and of itself, here's a fantastic tweet from NotJayCutler about it: "Irony: Randy Moss getting cut before Tom Brady's hair."
Worst of the Weekend in Pictures:
Nationally Televised Games:
Trail Blazers at Bulls, 8pm: With three wins to start the season, Portland is off to their best start in a decade. Part of the Blazers' success so far this year the Blazers have rebounded well, with LaMarcus Aldridge averaging 9.7 boards. This is spite of missing big men Joel Przbilla (right knee) and Greg Oden (left knee). Did they combine the two healthy knees from their injured big men and give them to Aldridge to create a Frankensteined super player?
All The Other Games:
Craptors at Kings, 10pm: Anyone else excited to see DeMarcus Cousins' home debut? Meanwhile, I still can't get a feel for how good this Toronto team is this year. (It's somewhere between "godawful" and "surprisingly mediocre.") Perhaps we should consult our new Craptors correspondent The Philosoraptor for his insight?
Um, okay. Thank you for the thoughtful analysis that had nothing whatsoever to do with this game, Philosoraptor.
Spurs at Clippers, 10:30pm There are, however, no doubts that the Clippers are who we thought they were. Well, for now at least. They might be able to get as far as "bad, but not embarrassingly so" thanks to Blake Griffin being, you know, really friggin' good.
Well, on second thought, they're still super Clippery, and now have the NBA's worst shooting percentage at an unfathomably bad 37.7% after three games. (Yes, I totally have the old NBA Jam announcer's voice in my head right now saying "Puts up a brick!") Considering the Spurs have won 24 of the last 25 meetings with the Clippers, I don't hold high hopes for The Other LA Team getting anything going soon.

Lebron should have gone as Mola Ram since he tore the heart out of Cleveland fans. (rim shot) I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Thing is, he's actually a decent 1on 1 defender both in the post and on the perimeter. But when being able to rotate is beyond you, those things tend to mean less.
And on offense he still needs to show consistency. In his fifth year. Hardly ancouraging for a #1 pick.
Stat Watch: Reggie Evans has 10 rebounds in the middle of the 2nd quarter. Maybe the most one dimensional player in the league
Unfortunately for Deng this is an anomaly and he'll be back to his usual bricking of contested long twos. This will result in Rose taking more shots and the bulls squeaking by or losing. Hopefully once Carlos boozer gets his order of cybernetic hands, he'll be a potent scorer and Rose can do what he's supposed to be doing: setting up his team mates.
15 RPG, 2 PPG, 20 FG%
He will definitely lead the lead in 20 reb, 0 pt nights this year.
In other non-basketball related news, did you know there's a werewolf version of Fright Night out there on DVD? Now, it's supposed to be awful, but who cares, I'm such a sucker I had to check it out, and it should be arriving today from Netflix. I've been sitting on this little nugget for the last week, but I didn't want to reveal it till the disc was in the mail, lest other crazed Fright Night fans like myself beat me to the punch.
Mike Conley signed a 5-yr contract extension, $45 million.
The good signing provides us with funny views-from-the-inside videos.
Looking forward to the Dragic-SkinnyJMZ-Childress-Warrick-Lopez years. Still avoiding looking at the number of guaranteed years remaining on Hedo's contract.
Phoenix, I can't thank you enough for taking our garbage. Really swell. You made our favourite son a two-time MVP, and now this. You guys just love Canada, eh?
Seriously though I can't WAIT to yell profanity the whole game @ Hedo on Feb. 25th when they come back. Circled on my calendar!!
And you must either have been born with no sense of humor, never been to this site, or just never realized that everything I say here is dripping with sarcasm.
"I think it's kind of good to get that whole 3-0 thing out of the way," Roy said. "Now we won't be playing to that, instead of playing to get better. We can put that behind us: The season has started now."
