Stomp, Stomp, Clap, Clap, Whoosh, UCF!

In November the big story in College Basketball, at least in Central Florida was Marcus Jordan and his shoes. UCF had a six year/ $3 Million contract with Adidas. All their athletes wore Adidas shoes and apparel. When Marcus was recruited, he was told he could wear his Dad's Nike Jordans. Fast forward to the week before the season, Adidas said if Marcus wore the Nike shoes it wold be breach of contract.

Well Marcus wore the shoes. The deal with Adidas that had another year on it is done. Was it worth it? How is Marcus' game paying off for UCF? It's too soon to tell, but let's compare his first year stats thus far to his father's first year at North Carolina. Just for kicks, I'll add his brother's stats too.

Marcus Jordan

2009-10 STATS
PPG	APG	3P%	RPG	BPG	SPG
4.8	1.8	.348	3	0.5	1.1

Michael Jordan

1981-82 STATS
PPG	APG	3P%	RPG	BPG	SPG
13.5	1.8	.	4.4	0.2	1.2

Jeff Jordan

2007-08 STATS
PPG	APG	3P%	RPG	BPG	SPG
1	0.3	.333	0.5	.	0.2

Micheal has the best numbers, but Marcus has better numbers than his brother. Call me crazy, but I don't see Marcus hitting the game winning shot to win the NCAA Championship game next season. Are the Nike shoe helping Marcus' game that much? Would he not be able to average his whooping 4.8 PPG in the Adidas shoe?

Time will tell whether it was a good move or not. Personally, if I was Marcus, I would have worn the Adidas shoe. Basketball is a team sport. Be part of the team. Wear what the team wears. Not to mention, I would have taken the chance that I was good enough to go pro and become the face of Adidas when I get there.

If Jeff turns pro, he can become the face of Reebok. Then no matter what brand of shoe is purchased the Jordan family would get money. The first family of sneakers...What? It could happen! It's all about the shoes. Is it the shoes? It's the shoes right? Money it's gotta be the shoes!

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods Y'all

I can't see Tiger Woods or hear his name without picturing Chris Rock in 'Down to Earth' popping into the room in his golf gear.



Since about noon on Black Friday, everyone has been talking about Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods now holds the record for consecutive days on the front page of the New York Post. The previous title holder? 9/11. Are you kidding me??? Tiger Woods extramarital affairs are more news worthy than 9/11? Disgusting.

Let me get the rest of my Tiger Woods aggression out of my system and you'll never hear about him from me again. I want to call a few people out or as the kids say these days, put a few people on blast!

First up, women in news media, I call you out. When the story first broke, women in news media everywhere said "How could Tiger cheat on his wife? She's a Swedish model. She's so beautiful." These are the same women who say "Looks aren't everything. It's what's on the inside that counts." Let me say up front that cheating is wrong and Tiger is a scumbag, but if you really feel that looks don't matter, then why would you mention how hot Tiger's wife is? It's irrelevant. Looks matter or they don't. You can't have it both ways.

Next up, Tiger Woods, I call you out. I realize Tiger Woods never has to work another day in his life and as long as he manages his finances properly, his children (the legitimate ones anyway) will never have to work a day in their lives. His great grandchildren will never have to work for that matter. If he wants, he has enough money to spend the rest of his life behind closed doors. I don't think he wants that. He is too close to being the winningest golfer of all time. He wants it. He'll be back.

But where has he been? Why no speaking to the media? Why put out a statement that you are taking an indefinite leave from golf during your off-season? Who is advising this guy? He needs to take a page from David Letterman's book. His story broke on a Friday, on Monday's show he spoke about it. On Tuesday it was a dead story.

This Tiger story has grown wings. According to the New York Post, it's bigger than 9/11. He needs to do us all a favor and face the media now. He cheated (a lot), he got caught, now be a man and take your medicine. This story will never go away. If he comes back to golf in March 2010 or March 2015, he will still have to answer questions about it. Get it over with.

That's all I have to say about that. If I don't write again before hand, have a Merry Christmas.
