I like Chauncey Billups on the Nuggets.  I think it’s great for him.  Going back to his hometown, also where he played college ball, joining Camarillo and Kanye.  The Nuggets have their superstar in Anthony, they needed a veteran like Billups on the court.  So far the The Nuggets have won  both games since acquiring Billups.  It’s not that much of a change for them.  It’s just a steady veteran hand.
Alan Iverson, who I think is amazing in everyway, is now a Piston.  I’ve  never been a Pistons fan,  because I find them boring to watch.  They have no fire. They go through the motions.  What they needed was a superstar like AI.  Now they need to practice!  They need to allow themselves to be ruled by AI.  They need to let the superstar step in.  If they do that I think things can turn around for the Pistons.

My Lakers are 5-0 off the their best start in 5 years.  The Clippers won their 1st game over the Mavericks 103-92.  Congrats to Baron Davis, winning his 1st game in his hometown with his new team, and making them 1-6 . BAD NEWS for the Spurs as Tony Parker’s MRI showed a bad ankle sprain that will side line him for 4 weeks. With Ginobili out until the end of December,  things are looking bleak for the Spurs, who are off to their worst start in the last 12 years.

The Titans are this years Pats [8-0 ] so far, led by Kerry Collins, who was traded from the Giants for Eli Manning.  Gaints are 8-1.  Hot damn, they may just meet in the Superbowl.  I’m hoping for a Giants repeat.   I’d love to see that game.  The Jets beat the Rams 47-3.  The BIGGEST margin of victory in franchise history!   Alright Brett.. you’ve still got it!.. (Though you might want to think about color combing that gray away).   Romo will be back this week to play the Redskins.  He still has pain in his pinky, but the Cowboys need him.  After watching ‘Dallas Cowboys: Hard Knocks’ on HBO,   I held high hopes for them.  They seemed so passionate and demetemined that this was their year for a ring, now I’m not even sure this is their year for a wildcard.  Sorry Romo, maybe Jessica Simpson is a bad luck charm.

The Tampa Bay Rays, Evan Longeria, was named AL’s rookie of year with 27 home runs and 85 RBI’s.  The Chicago Cubs, Geovany Soto, was named NL’s rookie of the year with 23 home runs and 86 RBI’s. Congratulation to both men.  We’re still waiting on Manny here in LA.. with fingers crossed!
A-Rod is still a source of amusement,  I can’t wait for the next episode.

And that’s what was exciting this week in Meri’s world.
