Show Recap - Thursday August 19, 2010

Someone needs to pull the Van Gundy’s off the Miami Heat. First, Jeff said the Heat will not lose two in a row at any point this season and will break Chicago’s single season win record. And now, brother Stan tells a Miami radio station: “…I am going to tell you that the Heat roster is better than any roster that Michael Jordan played with the Bulls. Dwayne Wade is certainly, in my opinion anyway, as good as he was, is better than Scottie Pippen. Chris Bosh is better than Toni Kukoc. Mike Miller is every bit as good a shooter as (John) Paxson or (Steve) Kerr or anybody they put out there…I don’t think there is any question that the roster the Heat have is as talented a roster if not more so as any roster there has ever been in the NBA.” Eaaassy, Tiger.

Like I said yesterday, maybe the ankle wasn’t the reason Brett Favre couldn’t commit to the Vikings. Come to find out; it was the coach! Jason Cole, a columnist for Yahoo Sports writes, “…many players, particularly on offense, have no respect for (Brad) Childress. Among those players is Favre… according to multiple team sources, Favre’s disdain for Childress runs deep.” Ya think? The guy laughed at Childress when he tried to take him out of a game last year. And changes Childress’ plays at the line, of course, he doesn’t like or respect him. How bent do you think he was when he just showed up at his front door back in July. The gunslinger was probably like, “Deanna! Don’t answer the door. Everyone shut up. Maybe he’ll leave.”
