Morning Corn Flakes
A big day to discuss a number of sports stories today. First off, we've always thought that PJ Tucker probably made the right call to go pro when he did, even if things didn't work out. To quote Shawshank, he had to either get busy livin' or get busy dying. Well, PJ pops back onto our radar today as a member of the defending Israeli national league regular season champion, Hapoel Holon. You can see the proof here.
You may remember Emmanuel Moody as the Texan who committed to Texas, only to decommit in order to attend USC. Had we been blogging at the time, we probably would have called that a dumb decision as USC is loaded with young talent at running back. Apparently one season at USC was enough for Moody who will be transferring, the same week that he appeared on the cover of SI. Nicely done, Emmanuel.
You probably didn't see last night's MNF broadcast of Chiefs-Dolphins preseason football, and we don't blame you because it was preseason MNF on a Thursday night. A lot of football blogs have chimed in recently about the new MNF broadcast crew and we wanted to mention how much of an improvement Ron Jaworski is to the booth. Jaworski has a great rapport with Tony Kornheiser, who we've always loved and wanted to succeed in that role. Jaworski keeps Kornheiser focused on football but is also able to joke around about other topics. Sure it was a preseason broadcast but for such an important show to seem successful after many years of failure is a great sign.
Finally, we've been dreading today for over a month as today is Dan Patrick's last day at ESPN. In his honor we present our favorite SportsCenter commercial, from a time when the show didn't suck.

For what it's worth
When Moody signed with USC, it looked like there would be a good chance of filling in behind LenDale White and Reggie Bush after they left. I don't know that he could have anticipated that even more RBs would have the same idea and commit in the spring of 07, and that Hershel Dennis would get a 6th year of eligibility.
It is odd that he felt like a forgotten man because he was getting carries until he was injured last season, and Stafon Johnson was the one who had been demoted to the scout squad last season... Anyway, I hope he catches on somewhere good.
Moody's uncle
is an idiot.
My favorite story about him is how he would hang around outside gyms to get workout advice from bodybuilders.
Yeah, those are the guys you want to ask how to become a better football player. ::rolleyes::
Everything I've heard says Moody is going to Okie State?
Agreed
advice from bodybuilders...
Does that include tips on how to enhance one's performance? Wasn't it Moody who became a "soft verbal" commitment to Texas?
Good for him, getting out from under the limelight of USC. In other news, did anyone else find it interesting that one of PJ Tucker's teammates is named Izraeli?
What the heck happened to the countdown?
?!?
(yeah, I'm lazy)

MCF round-up
I read some comments re: the EMoody situation. Sounds like his "Uncle" is the one doing all the talking. He's acting as if he's EMoody's agent. Kid needs to tell the guy to back away. All he's going to do is hurt him.
Caught some of the Chiefs/Dolphins game -- I am jonesing for ANY football. I'd mainline a CFL game if I could figure out what channel it's on. I like the new booth, but will alway miss DMeredith, HCosell and FGifford. Those were the days....
The ESPN promo is one of the best, even though it has SScott. He just tries too hard. Anything with KMayne and DPatrick is hilarious. Gonna miss D-Pat. Would love to see him KMayne and KOlbermann do their own start-up somewhere. ESPN Trio, anyone? That would be great.

PJ
Thanks for the PJ news, I was hoping he'd sign with a new NBA team. Well at least basketball still pays the bills.
