If it could only be that easy! How do the art people make money? I need a big time education on selling art.

4. Brock Lesner becoming the first man to win a  Wrestling and UFC Heavyweight Championship.

3. Finding out who’s broadcasting the Patriots game on Sundays.

For someone who only goes to one game a year, Michael Berger finding this website a few weeks ago was huge. I consider who the network selects for an announce team tells me if the NFL thinks it’s a good game. Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf are solid in the booth. As Patriots fans we’ve been spoiled with Jim Nantz and Phil Simms on a near weekly basis.

2. How much Jack Edwards talks…

Chach actually blogged about this last week, but it deems repeating. Jack Edwards talks WAY too much for a TV play by play man. I’m not sure if Andy Brickley is the Remy of hockey and if he is, you’d never know it because he can’t get a word in edgewise. This isn’t Sportscenter, every line out of your mouth doesn’t need to be “cute”, “it’s a shooting gallery out there”. He just sounds fake. I’ll take letting Brickley talk, “up along the dasher boards”, good fight calls and “SCORE!” for the home games any day of the week. (The Boston Globe is 17% share holders of the er.. I mean Jimmy Stewart is one of the producers for the Dale Arnold and Michael Holley Show, heard 10-2 on WEEI.)

1. That the Red Sox might not have gotten enough for Coco Crisp…

Michael Holley and I were debating the value of Coco Crisp during one of the breaks. If Theo says only two teams showed interest in Coco, I tend to believe him. He doesn’t share that kind of information so openly. Peter Gammons blogged about the Reds being the other team that showed interest. I even admit that sometimes I overvalue hometown players, in this case I think Coco Crisp could have brought back a catcher from Texas. I put more value on that, than a right handed pitcher who’s had one REALLY good season in the majors. I defer to the baseball people to prove me wrong.

What Coco will do for the Royals is hit second, slap the ball into the gap producing doubles and triples, run down everything in center and steal 20-30 bases. He has 6 career triples at Royals Stadium, the most in any ballpark. He will help a team that Dayton Moore is trying very hard to improve the Atlanta Braves way.
