The Weekly Shakedown
Feb 22nd 2008ericjhoroWeekly Shakedown & NBA & NFL
(Every week there are a number of stories slip through the cracks here at ShakedownSports. These are just a few of them.)
–Last Tuesday Kevin Durant was booed when he went home sick just before tip-off. Oh also, it was “Kevin Durant Bobblehead Night.” Durant then made things even worse when he later revealed he went to Oklahoma city to receive treatment.
–On April 11th the Rocket will unveil a monument honoring Hakeem Olajuwon. Just one week later, in a much less publicized move, the Blazers will name a lower concourse restroom stall after Sam Bowie.
–The NFL’s competition committee is discussing the possibility of giving one defensive player on each team a radio receiver in his helmet. I’m not so hot on the plan. Don’t Ray Lewis and Joey Porter already hear enough voices in their head?
–Attention San Diego State fans: Your dark days are over. DirecTV has reached a deal with the Mountain West Conference to carry the conference’s new television network. Finally, a reason to be happy I have Comcast.
–The Falcons won their draft coin toss. They will now pick 3rd and the Raiders will pick 4th, but the important thing about the coin flip is that it won Michael Vick three cartons of cigarettes.
