I'm Just Sayin'.........

(January edition)

 

 

Things I’ve been thinking about:

• The San Antonio Spurs have had one of the NBA’s best records all season long.  However, against the other top teams in the NBA (Oklahoma City, Miami, Portland, Houston, Indiana, and the LA Clippers) they are 1-10.  Are they overrated and simply beating the teams they are supposed to, or are they a sleeping giant no one wants to see in the playoffs?

 

• The conversation of whether a Quarterback is great often revolves around Super bowl wins.  There are only 11 quarterbacks who have won multiple Super bowls (this list will grow by one if the Denver Broncos win this coming Sunday).  Does this list encompass the great quarterbacks?  Is Terry Bradshaw better than say, Dan Marino?  Here is the list of Quarterbacks who have won multiple Super bowls.

 

Wins	Player	Games	Team
4	Joe Montana	XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV	San Francisco 49ers
4	Terry Bradshaw	IX, X, XIII, XIV	Pittsburgh Steelers
3	Troy Aikman	XXVII, XXVIII, XXX	Dallas Cowboys
3	Tom Brady	XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX	New England Patriots
2	Bart Starr	I, II	Green Bay Packers
2	Bob Griese	VII, VIII	Miami Dolphins
2	Roger Staubach	VI, XII	Dallas Cowboys
2	Jim Plunkett	XV, XVIII	Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders
2	John Elway	XXXII, XXXIII	Denver Broncos
2	Ben Roethlisberger	XL, XLIII	Pittsburgh Steelers
2	Eli Manning	XLII, XLVI	New York Giants

 

 

 

• Kevin Durant is on a torrid pace statistically this season averaging 31.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists.  The only other players to ever average 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for a full season are Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James.  Good company.

• Was Richard Sherman's infamous post game interview the best ever?  The worst ever?  How does it compare with Bart Scott's 'Can't Wait' interview?  Is it even the best Richard Sherman interview?  Can anything possibly beat the 'Better at Life' beat down Sherman gave Skip Bayless on TV?

• Speaking of post game interviews, which of these famous head coach post game interviews is your favorite?
• They Are What We Thought They Were.
• Playoffs?
• You Play to Win the Game!
• I'm a Man, I'm 40!
• Game Face

 

• The 3's are a-flyin'!  Kyle Korver's streak of consecutive games with a 3 pointer is up to 113!  Meanwhile, Houston Rocket Chandler Parsons hit 10 consecutive 3's on January 24th.....in one half!
