Game 3: Cavaliers at the Minnesota Timberwolves
October 30, 2009

The following is my 3rd game review.

Readers, let me correct something from my last blog. Faithful reader JoeBlotto asked about Rocky Colavito. I erroneously referred to Rocky as a boxer, and believe me, I heard about it from my sister. Rocky was a baseball player, for those like Aunt Louise who may have forgotten. I should have remembered because Aunt Patty had quite the crush on him in her younger days. You see, Rocky was something of a bad boy.

So, thanks to Aunt Patty for the correction.

In a recent comment, astute reader Bob mentioned my financial expertise and that leads me to my next subject: the high rate of bankruptcy among our professional ball players. Sit down before you read this next part: after 2 years of retirement 78% of former NFL players are bankrupt; after 5 years, 60% of NBA players are bankrupt.

Now what does this tell you? Besides the fact that NBA players are smarter than NFL players; let’s face it, they take fewer blows to the head. To all the multi-million dollar professional ball players that follow this blog, I hope it tells you to get your money in a fixed annuity or trust that will pay you a reasonable monthly amount at retirement but prevents you from ever getting at the principal!

Case in point, Bernie Kosar. Yes, he recently filed for bankruptcy. So now he’s wifeless, penniless and from what I read too stupid to even know how to run his own dishwasher.

Inside sources tell me Bernie’s currently trying to get a paying gig with the Browns.  Remember you heard it here first folks.

Now, on to my review of the big game: the Cavs vs. the Timberwolves.

The best game of the season by far. So good I only switched over to Larry King once, briefly, to check on his probing interview with a bunch of ghost-busters.

My MVP of the game: Mo Williams. He played extra-tall, with 20 points, and I thought Mo as the heart-and-soul of the team last night.

Final score: Cavs 104, Wolves 87.

Total score from all (3) games played: Cavs 284, Opponents 283, so to my way of thinking we’re in 1st place and on our way to the Championship!

Your comments are always well received.
