I STARTED WRITING FOR THE SCHOOL PAPER AT UNLV. I GRADUATED AND KEPT TRYING TO FOLLOW MY DREAM BUT ITS HARD TO DO WHEN YOUR NOT PAYING THE BILLS. IVE HAD TO PUT THE WRITING ON THE SHELF FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS BUT I'M BACK NOW WITH THIS BLOG USING MY OLD COLUMN NAME FROM THE LAS VEGAS SPORTS MAGAZINE "OUT OF MIKES MIND." I HAVE DECIDED TO DO THIS BECAUSE ITS TIME TO GET BACK TO MY PASSION AND LET MY CRITICS, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND WHOMEVER READS THIS, HEAR WHAT I GOT TO SAY. ALSO LETS ME TALK SPORTS WITH MY BUDDIES BACK HOME WHO I CANT TALK TO OR SHOOT THE NEWS WITH IN PERSON.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY. ILL TRY TO DO THIS EVERY DAY BUT WE WILL SEE HOW LAZY I GET. SHOUT OUT TO VEGAS!!!!

It's all about the Benjamins, baby!! You hit it on the head. If the best sports agent in baseball walked in your house and told you that was going to get Strasburg 30 or so million this year, thus opening the door for Harper to sign for more next year the GED sounds like the only way to go!! What's sad is, barring injury, he could get as much or more after truly graduating high school, but now we'll never know! Good Stuff!! A few grammatical errors but I don't know if that even matters with blogs!! Keep it up, Simszee!!
ReplyDeleteDid you write Ricky Henderson's HOF speech? Just kidding,! Screw this high school kid, call me when he actually steps onto a MLB feild. He has such a long way to go, mentally and physically that the odds aren't in his favor. The press is hyping the shit out of him, but it sounds like an, "I told you so" is coming. This kid is the next best thing? Yeah, so was Michelle Wi (weeeeeeee) how ever you spell it. The list of past under age talent goes on and on. We've all seen the Josh Hamilton story. Now we might be in for "the Bryce story". Keep up the blog mike, if you need any topics you could always write about the 2009 Stanley cup. Sid the kid baby!
ReplyDeleteSIMSZEEEEEE - I done heard that! The way these kids are pushed, pulled and persuaded today...but can you blame 'em?! I mean, Stafford in Detroit (which isn't titletown in the NHL this yr :) ) signed for an ungodly $72 mil for 6 yrs and hasn't even step foot on the turf yet! Then there's Michael Crabtree who's prepared to sit out an entire season cause he feels he isn't getting market value?!! Get the fuk outta here dude. And oh ya, Strasburg. Examples go on and on, but the point is let kids be kids. If they want to push themselves to their limits, God bless them. And fuhk education. That's overrated. Look no further than the pioneer that started this blog. Enough for today, but I'll be back to address, errrrr undress, Pitino, beat on Lawrence Phillips and Patrick Kane and put Mike Vick in his 'place'. As the greatest mascot in all of sports says....OW OW OWWWUUUUUUUUU
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't the kids make money. Everyone else has their hands out. School's "pay to play", in junior high and high school. Then the kid goes on to college and all he gets is a free ride while everyone else pads their pocket. The kids put in more hours play a college sport than most of us in a full time job. Everyone wins but the kids, college to boost enrolment, brands (Nike, Gatorade). All this for what? The kid maybe gets to play a couple years in the pro's unless he is one of the few with a long career.
