Speeding Bullets
By DAVID DUNCH
Kurt Warner, please report back to your home planet. You've had enough fun torturing these simple earthlings.
The Super Bowl commercials were terrible. I only laughed out loud once, and that was when the "acting" dog jumped face-first into the truck. Everything else was dot.com this or dot.com that. Internet companies aren't funny. Have you seen some of the people who work in this field? Bring back Bud Bowl!
The second-half of the game more than made up for what the commercials lacked . I don't think there could have been a more exciting finish.
It boggles my mind that the big men on our men's basketball do not get the ball more. I see them open down low all the time, but they never get any touches. Sophomore Dave Emslie is seven feet tall, with skill, and plays in the WCC, a conference lacking in size. Just give him a chance and let him dominate. If anything, at least letting the ball go inside would open up some better looks from three-point range.
I feel bad for junior Delano D'Oyen, who has gone from starter last year to averaging only 12 minutes a game this year. This team has a lot of guards who all deserve minutes, but there just aren't enough to go around. On top of that, we have a top-notch point-guard recruit coming in next year.
Less than a month before pitchers and catchers report to spring training!
If you're a golf fan à and I'm sure there are more than a few of you out there à the ATandT Pebble Beach National Pro-Am is this weekend on the Monterey Peninsula. It will probably rain, because it does every single year, but all the best golfers in the world will be there along with a bunch of celebrities. If you're a golf nut, this is it in terms of Bay area golf.
Thanks for all the feedback. (That is me being sarcastic). I received only two comments, one positive and one negative, after begging and pleading with you all in last week's column. That just further proves my theory that very few out there give a damn.
