Rawesome!

I have a fever approaching 102 degrees this morning courtesy of LPGA newcomer Anna Rawson.  This lanky 23 year old Australian makes Natalie Gulbis and Kim Hall look like tomboys...

Those Are Brews not Boos!

Reader Bruce requested a full list of My Guys and there are simply too many for one post.  However, I'll periodically add to the list that was started yesterday.  Here is another group of nine that are near and dear to my heart:


Jamario Moon -  Burst onto the scene last year from near obscurity and will only get better 

Shawn Kemp - One of my all-time favorites.  I'm absolutely giddy about the prospect of a half dozen little Kemps joining the league within the next ten to fifteen years.

Paul Pressey - Nellie made him the first Point Forward in history and I loved his skills.  Jay Bilas loved his length. 

George Gervin - There hasn't been anyone quite like the "Ice Man"

Muggsy Bogues - Couldn't take my eyes off him whenever he came into a game

Rick Mahorn - The baddest of the Bad Boys is currently tossing WNBA players around the court.

Dennis Rodman - This Bad Boy is one of the best ever on the glass.

Paul Mokeski -  If he was a foot shorter he'd just be Paul from Accounting.  However, this gentle giant was 7'0" and became one of the goofiest looking players to ever lace 'em up.  Really, has there every been a professional athlete with a funnier perm than Big Mo? 

Randy Breuer - Just one in a long line of pasty & plodding white big men that Milwaukee is contractually obligated to have on its roster.  I'm probably missing a few, but off the top of my head the Bucks have had Mokeski, Breuer, Kent Benson, Frank Brickowski, Larry Krystkowiak, Pat Cummings, Brad Lohaus, Joel Przybilla, and now Jake Voskuhl.  I'm pretty sure the 7'3" Breuer missed more shots inside of 3 feet than any player in the history of basketball.  Why he refused to dunk the ball will forever be a mystery to me.  Back in the day, I was eating a burger with a couple friends at a Hardees fast food restaurant when in walked the hopelessly gawky Breuer after practice.  Brew may have been listed at 7'3" but I have no doubt he's even taller.  I mean the guy's hair was a couple of inches from the restaurant's ceiling (incidentally, this is the kind of information I think you simply need to know).  Normally there is chaos when a professional athlete is out in public but nobody said anything to him the entire time he was there.  Not a word.  After he left, I really felt bad for him.  I'm sure when Brew was younger he went to bed every night wishing he were a foot shorter.   Perhaps he still does to this day... 

This Could Be Yours

The comment leader in the clubhouse is currently Bruce Dickinson with PrescottMD hot on his tail.   I'll be keeping track for the rest of the year and a six month supply of cheese will be going to the person who has the most comments.  Has there ever been a better prize for winning a contest?  Good luck to one and all...
