Please Don’t Do This Trent

Trent Green cannot go away. Even with all of his concussions and poor play, the St. Louis Rams somehow found it logical to sign him up! According to FOX’s Jay Glazer:

Green told FOXSports.com that he’s agreed to a three-year, $9 million deal with the Rams.

The Rams were an attractive destination for Green because it allowed him to go back home to Missouri as well as play for an organization he had already spent time with in 1999 and 2000.

In his second stint with the Rams, Green will be the backup behind Marc Bulger. He was supposed to be the starter in 1999 before a preseason knee surgery paved the way for Kurt Warner, who led the Rams to their first Super Bowl victory.

Green visited Rams Park last week and had been mulling a decision whether to keep playing. He replaces Gus Frerotte as Bulger’s backup.

“We have now solidified our quarterback position,” coach Scott Linehan said. “You will be hard-pressed to find the quality we have at that position.”

Both Green and Bulger have played in two Pro Bowls.

THREE YEARS???!!!! Are you kidding me? And knowing how Bulger is injured every other game, Green is asking for it. What was the need to sign him anyways? Please Trent, retire, before you end up having the problems Ted Johnson and Steve Young have today. Don’t take the risk.

A Daily Double

First something is on the telestrator…..then someone has gas. That’s why we love ESPN so much.

Brent Musberger Oh So Close to Being a Jinx

I’ve looked at this play several times and Josh Shipp of UCLA does not shoot it over the backboard. The one thing that caught my attention was Brent Musberger and the little board at the scorers table saying “UCLA WINS!!!” with 1.5 seconds left (they did, but Cal had one last shot).

Of course, it’s no coincidence he is being a UCLA homer when he had this issue with Cal as well. 

MARCH MADNESS BABY!!!

Dan Shulman is a Hard Working Man

I have to give a lot of credit to ESPN’s Dan Shulman for working 3 games in 3 days.  He started his nonstop tour with calling the Bulls/Celtics game on Friday with Hubie Brown. The next night he called the big Duke vs. North Carolina matchup (more on that later) with you know who. Then Shulman capped it off on Sunday with the Bulls/Pistons with Doris Burke. Bravo Mr. Shulman, you are a true iron man….as well as apologist for Speedo Guy.

Too bad Speedo Guy can’t play basketball or help Duke rebound….or realize you can’t shoot 500 three pointers….or win.
