Two Nine Nine's Sports

I'm Bruce, or 299, this blog will serve, initially as my sports ranting blog. I hope to make the blog, and my ranting, grow significantly beyond this point. Please follow, please reblog, and PLEASE enjoy.. oh and argue!

The Intro Post

I know I’ve been absent lately and I know I’ve missed a lot in the sports world, so here’s my idea:

I’m going to create a YouTube channel, and I AM going to video blog and post it here. if you guys could bring up some stuff, any sport related, I’ll talk about it. then you guys will have a chance to get to know me, and see me, and I’ll be able to answer some questions. I’m gonna make the first video tomorrow. here are topics I already am going to cover:
1. Tebow v. Sanchez
2. Luck v. Griffin
3. Sid the Kid is back
4. Tiger is back
5. The start of Baseball season
6. The end of March Madness
7. Who is the best team in the NBA?

anything I’m missing, or that you wanna hear from me, just tell me!! please.

Pure Arrogance:

I love when people who know less about their favorite team than I do sit and talk about sports in front of me. I’m just like… no. The Jets’ issue isn’t their second wide receivers, it’s the aura that the coach projects around his team. also. don’t say “Robert Griffin III shouldn’t have won the Heisman.” That’s a joke. He should be the number one pick, truthfully, but the Colts wouldn’t pick Robert Griffin even if he “flew” at his pro day. which is fine for me. oh. and in an hour, I’ll do my best to live-blog during the Baylor Pro Day. cause he’s gonna be a Redskin.

The end of “Area 51” - Landry signs with Jets

crankyredskins:

Remember when we were so excited about the Redskins secondary that we dubbed Sean Taylor & LaRon Landry “Area 51?” Today. with Landry signing with the Jets, that era is officially over. Not sure any Redskins fans will really miss Landry, but we all mourn that missed opportunity (times two).

I will never forget those two drafts. Sean’s brought me to the Redskins. LaRon’s should have made the best secondary of all time. How quickly things like that end. With the signing of Brandon Meriwether, and the upcoming draft, what can we create? For Sean Taylor fans, the third round draft choice should be easy. look up Sean Spence for a reminder of the past.

Peyton Manning is a Bronco.

The Jets, Jaguars, Dolphins, and Packers have reportedly already made trade offers for Tim Tebow.

Is there actually a good fit for him outside of Denver? I think he’d be best served staying there and learning from Peyton.

Apparently, I could be an NBA GM too.

Someone call Jay-Z.
I just mastered the Nets’ cap space, made a lottery draft plan, went through the free agents, deduced the price of each restricted free agent, then came up with two teams. One with Deron Williams resigning and one with Deron Williams leaving.
The one without D-Will has $12.4 million in cap space left AFTER the team. The one with him has $6 million.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Incredible.  Michael Jordan will always be my hero.
