With all this wonderful weather (or non-weather I guess) coming in and schedules being juggled I thought this would be a good time to catch up on a few things.
First off, congratulations to East Stroudsburg South’s Carly Gallagher, who etched her name in two more categories Tuesday night. With a season-high 27 points against Pocono Mountain East, Gallagher became the all-time leading scorer in East Stroudsburg School District history. The previous mark was 1,735, held by the late Art Perryman. Gallagher, who now sits at 1,743 career points, is also the all-time leading female scorer in Monroe County history, passing Pocono Mountain’s Jen Nish, who scored 1,742 points. Next up for Gallagher is the all-time county record, held by Pocono Mountain’s Adam Gonzalez, who scored 1,769. Just doing some quick math here, its not out of the question that the Cavaliers could play as many as eight more games. Gallagher hitting 1,900 points isn’t out of the question.
Everyone keeps asking me who is going to win the Super Bowl and I always give the same two answers: No. 1, I don’t care, and, No. 2, the Colts. The first answer stems from me being an Eagles fan and being disgusted at how far away they are from being championship contenders. The second is because Peyton Manning is just too good and the Colts’ defense is very underrated in my eyes. Of course that could change should Dwight Freeney not be able to overcome his ankle injury. The most interesting matchup will be Indy’s receivers against New Orleans’ physical cornerbacks. Whoever wins that battle wins the game.
Quick rant on the Eagles. They go out and hire Phil Savage as a “draft consultant?” The same Phil Savage who is largely responsible for the mess in Cleveland? And I’m fine with Philly bringing in a punter to compete with Sav Rocca, but why wasn’t it East Stroudsburg South and East Stroudsburg University graduate Ken Parrish? Maybe he’s moved on from football, but in the few times I talked to him Parrish seemed far too competitive to do that. Here’s hoping he catches on somewhere and pins the Eagles inside the 5 late in a big game. They’ll deserve it.
Rumors continue to swirl that the Sixers are looking to trade Andre Iguodala. I can’t for the life of me think why. Is he the reason they’re 17-31? Absolutely not. Who is? Ed Stefanski, that’s who. He’s the guy who brought in Eddie Jordan to run the Princeton offense with a bunch of players who flourish in the open court. Stefanski is the same guy who signed Elton Brand, a half-court post player, to play with those same players. He’s the guy who brought back Allen Iverson, saying it would make the team better, when all he was hoping it would do was put more fannies in the seats, which it hasn’t. Now he wants to trade the Sixers’ best and most versatile player? That sounds about right.
