When I thought about what I was going to talk about today, I was thinking about my car that is in the shop for problems under the hood. You see, I had this car ever since 2005 and I have put some miles into this car being that it is a gas saver. It has gone to and from Mississippi to places like North Carolina, Washington DC, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and good ole Alabama on numerous occasions. I have garnered over 200,000 miles with only tires, changing oil, timing belt, radiator problems and tune-ups. Now driving it to work one day, I noticed that this car seems like it is on its last mile and almost wanted to quit on me. I just drove it to the shop and it just starting putting on me like it just wanted to give up.
…All in all, this car is and has been a real trooper and I tip my hat to my car. I can relate my car to two people yesterday that was like this, one Maya Moore and one Mark Calloway
Maya Moore is seriously linked as being one of the best players in this women college basketball era. Don’t believe me, go to my blogging cuzzos Ed the Sports Fan and Bull City. Sunday in the last 6 minutes of the Semifinals of the Women College Basketball Tournament, Maya Moore put on a clinic that was nothing more than amazing. It was like she took it to another level of women’s college basketball driving down the lane, making threes, and scoring from anywhere that was not out of bounds.
…The funny thing is that it was the LAST six minutes of the game, UCONN was down by 12, and Skylar Diggins along with Natalie Inc. (Achonwa and Novosel) was matching her blow for blow.
After the clock reached 35 seconds, you can see that Maya Moore was gassed out and the Mighty UCONN Huskies fell to the Luck of the Irish. You know it is funny that two of the most historic program with the longest winning streaks in college basketball fell to the Luck of the Irish in a tournament (UCLA 88 winning streak actually fell in 1974 by Digger Phelps’ Irish (Cue the Digger dance)).
The other person is Mark Calloway, better known as WWE the Undertaker, Wrestlemania for the Undertaker is more of Satan’s structure than his Hell in a Cell matches. It seems like the Undertaker kick his gear into overdrive when the Spotlight is on him and when the smoke clear, he always come out on top. Every wrestler entertainer’s dream is two things, Main Event Wrestlemania and now beat “The Streak.” This year was Triple H’s turn and one thing I know about the game is that he is a true competitor. He put his all in all physically and mentally in a match so much that he is moniker “The Cerebral Assassin.” I have seen matches that the Undertaker has participated in previous Wrestlemanias, but this one is highlighted as one of those matches where a person’s body can take a toll on them. I will call this the second best match I saw. I was on the edge of my seat after Triple H’s whap him with the chair and the Undertaker was looking like he was somewhere else other than the A, but what got me is that he was always kicking out the cover. It was so bad; you can hear Triple H telling the Undertaker to “Stay Down.” To some unveil Triple H made one uncalculated move and the Undertaker clamped on Hell’s Gates to make him tap to extend “The Streak” to 19-0. After the match, you did not see the usually Undertaker finishing rise and tongue showing with fist in the air. You saw the Undertaker still laying down looking into the sky like this match took literally everything he had. His entrance theme song from the late Johnny Cash summed up what we thought last night, ain't no grave can hold his body down.
