The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.
The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Don Nelson is back in Oakland???
Wow.
I used to be a huge Golden State Warriors fan, but that team has been so bad for so long that every piece of hope I ever had for it has been completely squeezed dry. I'm completely numb to that team now. Or at least I thought I was, until they went and did something wacky like this. I guess there's still a little light flickering inside me for that team, because I find this quite interesting, even if it's only a rubbernecking-to-see-the-latest-car-wreck kind of interest.
Every time I think about the A's losing nine straight ALDS clinching games, or about choking in September the last two seasons, or about anybody named Hatcher, I should just think of the Golden State Warriors, and be grateful. Because things could be sooooooooo much worse.
Are there many Golden State Warriors fans? When the Lakers play in Oakland, it seems to be the exception of the Bay Area rule of "Let's fanatically hate the L.A. team." It sounds more like a Yankees game in Tampa Bay.
I was a BIG Warriors fan back in the Run TMC days. Really I was just a Tim Hardaway fan, though, and so later switched allegiances to Miami.
Since Hardaway left the Heat, I have not watched a single NBA game in its entirety.
That was a great line. It hadn't even occurred to me until now that that happened twice in three years.
Was Montgomery really doing that bad of a job? Or are the owners thinking they ought to be winning more even when they don't have the players to do that?
I won't go into detail about Teri, but let's just leave it at the fact that her autobiography is entitled "Burnt Toast".
So I'm not really pleased about this hiring. Dad turns 65 in a couple months -- that's not a good age to have random strangers cursing you because your doppleganger is unable to motivate Baron Davis.
