From
where I sit it looks like Robert Griffin the 3rd is a very blessed man.
Clearly,
RG3 is a very admired player for the Redskins. It's a sweet thing to
do, every newlywed couple would love to have everything bought from
their gift registry. However, this situation is completely
different. Here's another sign of the unnecessary level of hero
worship of our athletes. This is a guy with a 4 year $21 million
contract. He doesn't need help buying household items from Bed, Bath
& Beyond. I don't blame Griffin for this at all. He's been very
gracious with all the gifts. But, he doesn't really need them.
Everything should be passed along to charities. As for the fans,
they should be ashamed. What kind of idiot gives money away to
someone who doesn't need it? I can think of a number of charities
that could use the thousands of dollars spent. Or, if they just want
to get rid of their money, I'll be more than happy to take it.
The
Miami Heat are continuing their seemingly preordained run to the NBA final.
In
2 rounds the Heat have managed to lose only once. Out of 36 quarters Miami has only been outscored 8 times. They have played one
game where the outcome was less than 10 points (game 5 vs Chicago).
The Heat have won by an average of 16.3 points, having not given up
more than 94 points in any playoff game. Impressive numbers. In the
West, San Antonio has only lost twice. Does that leave us with an
inevitable Spurs-Heat final? Probably. But the Pacers took 2 of 3
from Miami. While, Memphis and San Antonio tied their season series
at 2. There's plenty to break down in both series, but I believe
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli put it best, “There are 3
types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.” There's only one
sure way to determine what will happen. Play.
At least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
