"In the year 2000...In the year 2000!!!"<\/p><\/div>\n

Good Morning!<\/span><\/p>\n T-minus-59 until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t a Home Run Derby invite performance enhancing drugs to be part of baseball?<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know, a trillion bucks doesn\u2019t seem to buy what it used to…<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to add calories in this tough economy I suggest Rio\u2019s Pizza in Montebello…<\/span><\/p>\n I’m telling you SG HC Keith Jones looks like “The Man from the Future”…<\/span><\/p>\n Two things MVN guys Duane Barker and Tim Peterson raved about on Saturday at the SGV Shootout were; Gladstone quarterback Paul Flores and Charter Oak\u2019s A.J. Powell on offense.<\/span><\/p>\n Former Bell Gardens offensive lineman Cesar Estrada\u2019s 30-yard touchdown run in the Fiesta Bowl, on a designed play, was the highlight of the game whenever Iowa State bound-former Palmdale quarterback Brandon Mims wasn\u2019t on the field.<\/span><\/p>\n Someone asked me if CO would consider trading one of its three quarterbacks to Rosemead for Luis Diaz…<\/span><\/p>\n The mercenary in me would love trades at the high school level.<\/span><\/p>\n How about a dispersal draft for sportswriters from defunct newspapers?<\/span><\/p>\n The Utah Jazz reportedly are considering taking out a bank loan to match the offer sheet free agent forward Paul Millsap got from the Portland Trail Blazers…I wish I had an offer sheet, but somehow I don\u2019t think the Mid Valley would take out a bank loan to try and keep me… Like I said a trillion bucks doesn\u2019t buy what it used to.<\/span><\/p>\n We haven\u2019t seen the last of Brian Griese, he\u2019ll turn up sometime in 2009…probably in Minnesota around Week Ten after Brett Favre blows out his shoulder, Tarvaris Jackson blows a pair of games, and management realizes that no matter how much money you give a player named Sage Rosenfels he will always be Sage Rosenfels….Enter Griese.<\/span><\/p>\n Now that the opportunity is here, NBA teams need to take advantage of the down and out Allen Iverson. Let him vanish. I\u2019m not going to say he\u2019s a cancer, but lets just say he\u2019s the equivalent of herpes…and the Clippers definitely don\u2019t need him. <\/span><\/p>\n Blake Griffin looked great against the Lakers summer team in Las Vegas last night. Two things to remember; he was playing against the Lakers summer team featuring Adam Morrison as its best player. The second is when is the injury going to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s a curse to be a Clipper. A curse!<\/span><\/p>\n I wonder if Iverson is promising to come to practice…<\/span><\/p>\n Stay thirsty my friends…<\/span><\/p>\n 68<\/span><\/p>\n Fanview Lite appears Monday thru Saturday here at www.midvalleysports.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
