Almost a day off…

The late Jimmy Cannon was famous for writing – among other things – his “Nobody asked me but…” column. It was a fun way to “take a day off” in te mind of Cannon. Accordingly, I’m going to resurrect this great gimmick, in honor of Cannon.

So, nobody asked me, but…

1. Purdue forward Ja’Juan Johnson is looking like a kid that could carry his team to the Elite Eight. But that team needs more scorers than Johnson and E’Twaun Moore if they want to go all the way.
2. On women, white pants can make everything better. It’s the exact opposite for a man.
3. Going to an NBA game in November is like going a bad movie. No matter where you sit, or how much you paid for the tickets, you’re disappointed.
4. The NHL trade deadline is at 3pm today. No one cares.
5. UFC is still boring to me. If I want to see two guys beat the sense out of each other in a (nearly) free-for-all, I’ll go to a bar in New York City and scream, “Yankee’s Suck” from behind a guy wearing a Red Sox hat.
6. To me, No. 5 is entertainment!
7. Girls that wear leggings and furry boots look foolish. If the weather is inclement enough to warrant boot-wearing a thin layer of cotton-polyester isn’t going to suffice. And I won’t care when you complain that it is “cold” outside.
8. Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers never struck me as being taller than 5-foot-6. Or over 190 pounds. Although if I was going to be wrong about one, I wouldn’t have guessed it was his height.
9. If SEC schools were as good in the classroom as they are on the football field we’d all be living like The Jetsons.
10. Even though Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer wants to be traded to a team in hopes he can contend for a championship. It doesn’t matter. He’ll never make it to the playoffs as a starting QB on any other team.
11. If the NFL CBA ends and the teams lockout it will be the saddest day in America in over four decades. And that, in itself, is sad.
12. Blame escalators for America’s obesity problem, not McDonalds or Hostess.
13. To that point, if people moved instead of waiting to be moved this world would be a better place – think both literally and metaphorically.
14. If the Oakland Raiders move back to L.A., people still won’t care.
15. When baseball starts in about 30 days and players are already starting to get hurt it’s time to change something. Like training regiments.
