Thoughts relating to the sporting world

The NBA lockout seems pretty damned serious. No games till December 15. Hopefully very soon the owners and players would come to an agreement- the recession is bad, and this makes things even worse, leaving tens of thousands of employees out of jobs. And speaking of the exhibition tour, what on earth happened to it? It was supposed to start in early November but nothing has happened. The players are fed up. Some of them have taken their talents across to Europe and China. If this persists, many more will soon be seen across the world.

In the mean time I'm watchng college basketball and football and NFL.

Can't wait for Tuesday morning local time. The AL MVP will be announced. Justin Verlander stands a strong chance of winning it, the second big prize he'd be taking home in a week, which would put him in the likes along hall of famers. Curtis Granderson is a strong candidate to win it.

As for the NL MVP which would be announced the following day after, Matt Kemp, Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder are in the mix.

Winners of the rookie of the year award, cy young and manager of the year have been extremely deserving.

I can't wait to see the rankings in college football after this week's shake and bake. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Clemson and Nebraska amongst the ranked teams losing to a lower seeded team. Since the Sooners lost, this might give Alabama a chance to regain the second spot, and if they can hold on, an all SEC BCS would happen come January. LSU and Alabama to duke it out, sounds like a dream matchup and a rivalry for the decade.
