Just saying

Quick Shots

The BET cyphers were pretty bland except for the Shady 2.0 cyphers. I enjoyed Royce's verse but did no one notice that after the "Hi Rihanna" lines he says, "I beat my girl too". Worse pickup line ever… just saying.

The NFL this week was a pretty predictable scene in hindsight. Sure, 62 points is a lot, but If I told you on Friday that one of the games was going to be a 62-7 game wouldn't one of your first 3 guesses be Saints-Colts. On the other side of things, road to .500 is complete for the Cowboys and other teams. Better than the Eagles. Just saying.

The NBA is locked out, and Bill Simmons called out Kevin Garnett for essentially derailing negotiations by behaving erratically. He also said that the basketball players lacked the intellectual capital to negotiate fairly with the agents.  Some professor wrote that by doing this Simmons was essentially being a racist. It's not using the "angry black man" trope, if the person who you're talking about is all 3 of those things.  Also in a professional basketball game I'd trust the basketball players over the j.d's and m.b.a's. Why is it racist to assume that the professional negotiators with the degrees to prove it would be better at negotiation than the basketball players, some barely with high school diplomas.  Just saying.

Speaking of which, NBA2k12 removed my favorite online feature. Apparently, there won't be "my crew" in the near future. Now that I'm in law school I couldn't help but wonder if I could sue for false advertising. Then I looked back at the public statements made by Ronnie2k and the NBA 2k posters and advertisements. They never said that there would be my crew in nba2k12. Ronnie never said they would add it in DLC. We just assumed it would be there. And since they already have my money, it doesn't really matter to them.  Still disappointing that my favorite feature  is gone, although it makes me more  productive for that aforementioned law school life. Just saying.

For those thinking that this one game  hope this Murray guy is going to be a star for the Cowboys. I'm excited too, but  single game rushing yards don't constitute a long and fruitful career (See Harrison, Jerome). Just Saying.

It's snowing in October in Colorado.  Just saying.
