First Month Observations

If you have been reading No Owens for the past month, I thank you. And I hope you have enjoyed yourself. If you haven't, I don't care. Stop reading it. Go watch women's softball...alright, I did last night, but even though UT lost, Arizona has some lookers, much unlike the Lady Vols. I know, that doesn't make it ok though.

In the past month, there's been some notes on many different aspects of sports. Some interesting, some stupid, some somewhere in the middle. I was looking over a few stats the other day, and reading a couple of articles that related to what had been written about in the previous month or so. Let's take a look in retrospect as to what was, what could have been, what is and what should never be. (Hello Jimmy Page).

Friday May 4 - If Dirk Nowitski Wins the MVP Baron Davis Should Shave his Beard and Send it to Dirk with a Note that Says - This Beard Owns You.

Since the post, it was clear that the Warriors ran out of steam. They played so hard for so long that at some point, the wheels were going to need some grease. Their out. Dirk won the MVP...not sure if he got a FedEx full of facial hair...but he should be soon.

Tuesday May 8 - $18.5 Million to Play Once Every 5 Games, and Hang Out With Your Kids.

Clemens is struggling with leg issues. His first start was pushed back. His wife is still pretty hot. Rookie of the Year was on last week before I went to work. I was late.

Thursday May 10 - Federer/Nadal blah blah

Federer beat Nadal in the lead up tourney to the French Open. It's going on now, watch it.

May 15 - All 1/5 of the Season Awards

Most everything still looks ok...except Mags needs to be in there somewhere. Oh wait...Helton. Since named to the most prestigious awards list in sports, Helton has gone 15-67. Yeah, that's .223. See ya big guy.

Wednesday May 23 - When Gordon Bombay's Career Ended...

The Ducks are about to win the Stanley Cup. Sweet.

Thursday May 24 - The Biggest Sports Story of the Year...Thus Far

Duke lost. Sweet. No one, besides me, cared anyway.

Friday May 25 - Michelle Why?

Last weekend, she quit mid-round after she almost shot an 88 in an LPGA Tour event. If a non-pro shoots an 88 or worse in a tournament, they are disqualified for the rest of the season. Hey Michelle, I suppose your member-guest is coming up soon. 88 should put you in good contention.

Thursday May 31 - Soriano...terrible

Apparently Soriano, or someone with the Cubs reads No Owens. Since the post, Soriano has gone 15-24. I'm not going to tell you what that comes out to, but it's good. 3 homers, 6 runs. Thanks for putting up the bulletin-board material. I am taking full credit for his recent surge. Lest we forget...in those games? Zero walks...

So there you have it, one month in review. Pretty decent time, plenty of making fun of Michelle Kwan. That will continue. Mickelson bashing? There's plenty more. College football? Wait for it. But fortunately, someone else isn't...read this article. Decent...
