After watching today's festivities for the All-Star game I feel pretty empty. The game of H.O.R.S.E had some moments of entertainment but it drug on what seemed like forever. The only bright spot was the ending as Rajon Rondo and Kevin Durant hit a long string of three point shots with Durant being the victor.
The three point contest was probably the highlight of the evening which ended in a battle between rookie star Stephan Curry and Celtics star Paul Pierce. It came down to the wire with Pierce prevailing, but the excitement that Pierce displayed after winning was what truly made it special.
Now I must talk about the final event of the evening, the Dunking Contest. All week I watched highlights of the greatest dunks from years past and then today, I saw things that I could see at the Intramural Building on campus. With only notable highlight from Demar DeRozan, I wonder why the NBA's biggest stars won't participate? What is LeBron's beef with participation? Jordan did it, Vince Carter did it, and even Kobe did it. So if the NBA keeps getting guys that aren't gonna put show, then I probably won't watch and neither will anyone else. C'mon the three point contest was more interesting for crying sakes.

What a fantastic week this is!
I would first like to apologize to all of my fans for my recent leave from the blog. Finals week came and I tailed off from the blog but I am back in the swing of things and have some things that I would like to talk about.
First off I am struggling to decide which I am more excited for, The Super Bowl or The Budweiser Shootout at Daytona. One marking the end of a season and the other marking the beginning of a new year. Some may think that I am foolish for comparing the magnitude of the Super Bowl with the less renown Bud Shootout, but I challenge you to sit and watch the coverage leading up to the race and not feel even a hint of excitement.
Also let us not forget the national holiday that took place yesterday in the world of college football. National Signing Day, a stimulus package for every college football program across the nation, the day when those blue chip recruits finalize where they will be attending college for the next three to four years. An exciting day for any avid college football player.
I would like to end my first post since my leave of absence with my prediction for the Super Bowl. I really like the Saints with the spread in this game. If Dwight Freeney plays, I doubt he will have anywhere near the impact that he has throughout this post season. Peyton Manning is the best in the business but an opportunistic Saints defense will be more formidable than most fans think. Give me Drew Brees and a five and a half point spread and that is my winner.
