3:10 to Yuma

Just saw that movie, nice little western movie w/ modern filming and modern stars like Christian Bale and Russel Crowe, Luke Wilson also does a little bit in that movie. Nice drama, nice action, lots of gunfights, not too much gore, just my kind of movie. O and the director's James Mangold, who i give big props for Kate & Leopold, surprisingly good romantic comedy, and Identity, one of my favorite movies about 10 strangers trapped at a hotel. ( Come to think of it, I LOVED that movie).


Anyways, on to the busy night in sports.
Speaking of which, was anyone else taken aback by the NFL game results on Sunday? After saturday's games i felt that the home teams were just a cut above the rest, that the #1 and #2 seeds had earned their byes because of their superiority over the rest of their respective conferences. I said, " I see very little chance that anybody scores an upset on sunday." Boy was i wrong. San Diego just went toe to toe w/ Indy in a classic game, back and forth, back and forth, and u thought throughout the game that this is the type of game peyton manning loves, that should favor the colts cuz of their experience and home field. Nope, Chargers pull it out w/o rivers and tomlinson. How bout that.

Then Giants v. Cowboys Part III for this season, Giants lost the first 2 but took the one that mattered...........it was so frustrating rooting against the cowboys cuz the giants played not to lose and almost kept dallas in the ballgame, in my opinion, but hung on. Big swing in momentum was the 2-minute drive put together by Eli Manning right before halftime that evened the score at 14-14, definitely a game-changer in my opinion and epitomized the way Eli controlled the game.

I still say N.E. and Green Bay win this week, but i'm not so sure about myself after what transpired the week before.

On to NBA action. Fantasy implications everywhere, i already told y'all about artest and bibby coming back.

Rajon Rondo sat out for the C's today, eddie house got the start. Boy for the stars they have in the 2,3,4 positions, they gotta be wondering why they got eddie house starting at point guard. Kendrick Perkins is not a stud by any stretch of the imagination, neither. The C's looked invincible previously, but now they got some holes to fill.

Miami is 8- 29! TWENTY-NINE! what a shell of a team. They got shaq back today and still couldn't win. If i had d-wade or shaq right now, i would sell it like ACH stock, cuz i'm telling u, those guys will have to mail it in by march, and u do not want empty box scores at that time. Seriously. I'd keep Udonis Haslem, though, maybe, cuz if the 2 before go down he steps up.

Jamal Crawford's really turning into a serious player and not just the ball-hawg he was in Chicago. O yea, he still got 35 points tonight, but he led the knicks to a win, with victory being the crucial stat. Marbury's out for a while too, and Francis is long gone, so that big guard logjam from last year has been whittled down to jamal's show, and he gets like 40 minutes a game. Nate Robinson showing he's no slouch neither, watch out for him off the bench.


As for nets, they always get their guys some big stat lines ( kidd 17 assts, carter 26 points, 8 rebounds, 7 asts), but they don't win nearly enough. It's good for fantasy land, though.

G-Wall going A-wall on opponents and stuffing the stat sheet prodigiously, w/ 36 points, 14 rebounds, 5 asts, 3 steals, 1 three, and 1 blk tonight WITHOUT turning it over at all. And he's done this for a while now. Best part is, he's missed only one game this season so far. Cross your fingers cuz he could be special.

Fantasize on,
Robert yan
