Dallas is in for a long series.

Well as we all may or may not know the n.b.a. playoffs have begun this week so you can all set your tivo's right now and get settled in. I know some of you are saying things like, oh i don't care about that crap, but remember that all of that going through the motions regular season stuff is over. I am a sucker for some of the playoff matchups, and some you should actually be watching: heat vs. bulls, san antonio vs. denver, new jersey vs. toronto, and dallas vs. golden state. All of these listed you have to check out if its on, especially the dallas G state matchup. Playoffs are of course so much better, with intensity ratcheted up and players getting rest with no back to back games it gives you all you want in an nba game. Now this brings me to my big series of the first round, the golden state-dallas matchup. This is what you want in a nba series: athletic underdog vs. supposedly best team in the league, former coach of dallas (don nelson) now with the golden state left Dallas with tons of animosity for the owner of the mavericks mr. p.t cuban, and not to mention that he knows all of the players weaknesses on dallas, and finally golden state has in their arsenal a plethora of young hungry athletic players that seem to have Dallas's number. Everyone has been on the dallas bandwagon for this whole season, with crappy nowitzki supposedly the frontrunner for mvp, well let me tell you something, im calling it right now...golden state brings down the team with the best record and supposedly the best player in the first round.

A few others you may not have heard of.

Im Back and I've Got an Ipswitch to Pick with You

Although i have been slightly neglegent with my blog, i am back with a vengence and ready to bring some new jibberish to your attention. If you're like me you have always been infatuated with the english soccer league names, i mean it always sounds like they invented funny, silly words just to tickle the ear. It doesn't hurt that some leprechaun sounding announcer says them so cutsie i just want to curl up with a teddy bear a warm glass of milk and some ipswitch and soddingford. When i read some of these names i feel as if it is the dawn of the english language, some old english professor with a quill in hand twisting and turning the language so that it scoots and squirms its way to a very pleasing sound to the ear. So enjoy, and after my research i have listed some of my favorites in alphabetical order. Oh, it does help if you say them aloud and in an english accent. Some are easy and some are suprisingly more difficult requiring a double take. So take a look you sodding ginger!

These are a compilation of the Premier League, Football Conference, Nothern Premier League, Southern League, Isthmian League. All different levels of english soccer. I highlighted some of my favorites.
