The Morning Wood - 06/19/2006

Stud: Dwyane Wade.
Yes, this is getting old, but jesus, did you see this guy last night? Started out with three subpar quarters, then just went crazy in the 4th and overtime. He was so good, I swear Hubie Brown got so excited that he almost started to look like blood ran through his veins. This kid is easily establishing himself as the most clutch player in The League. Well, w/the exception of this guy.

Dud: Phil Mickelson.
I kind of feel bad for this top-heavy goofball. Right when you thought he was ready to drop a deuce on the golf world and take over for Tiger as the world's best player, he has a huge meltdown over the last few holes to give the U.S. Open to some Aussie. Just painful to watch. It may have been a result of fatigue from carrying around his ample bosom in the summer heat. At least Ogilvy was kind enough to point Phil towards the ladies' room. "Uh, Lefty, just make sure you don't walk into this huge trophy that I'm holding."

Talk Around the Cooler:
So David Segui used HGH. Interesting. He had the prescription in 2003, when he crushed 5 home runs and drove in 25. If this isn't an indictment of performance enhancing drugs, I don't know what is. I want an asterisk on all 10 doubles he hit that year, and especially his robust .263 batting average. Fucking cheater.

Quick Hits...
Bronson Arroyo lands yet another amazing ad deal. Not sure what the best part is: the fact that Bronson is 6'5", 130, that they're advertising his first home run as evidence, or the English skills of Lou Ferrigno, who clearly wrote the piece. "He is talented guitar player and singer." Great work by U.S. Soccer. Huge tie with only 9 men on the field. Plus, bonus points for coordinating this sweet Thriller dance. ABC's NBA finals coverage hit a new low last night, when they tried to run a touching piece about how Josh Howard was born so severely bow-legged, doctors had to break his legs and put them in casts for six whole months when he was a baby. It was so traumatic that he has no recollection of the event. The violin in the background made me teary-eyed, however.

Actually if Josh Howard was born severely bow-legged, this for sure could cost him future carrier, because genu varum deformity (as bow legs called in orthopedics), causes not only pain, it lead to developing arthritis, with further knee replacement procedures.
So he is lucky his parents knew about the possible problems and fixed it. It might be though that Josh did not have Bow legs, but he had a Blaunt's disease treatment, also called tibia vara correction in orthopedic. It is fixing of most severe case of bow legs.
