Kevin's Short reign, new Nominations d0tm!

I know there wasn't a lot of action for Kevin, but he slowed down a bit it seemed in March. So here are your April/May? Nominations for d00de of the Month.

Ichiro Suzuki

That's right the ideal of consistency in the MLB. Ichiro year in and year out puts in a solid job in left field, a batting average in the 300's, and great base running. This MLB season has already started too, and he is leading the league in hits already, just this Wednesday he had 4/5 hits and a game winning RBI in the 11th in his home nation of Japan. Even though he had an 0-4 at the plate today, his numbers will stay as they do, and who knows maybe he'd give us some web gems for d00de of the month highlights.
Pretty special, and a pretty good d00de to boot.


Anthony Davis

A Uni-brow, a number one seed, and a number one overall draft pick, these are things that Anthony Davis posses. Hey why not add d00de of the Month to that! Anyways this guy is a monster talent for the Kentucky Wildcats, he rebounds, blocks, scores, and runs Kentucky essentially. Without him on the court in this March Madness, the Wildcats have been pretty mundane. Not to mention people are already giving this guy player of the year nods, and saying NBA teams should probably already go and draft this guy, He might win the whole NCAA tourney so he deserves the nod.

Sidney Crosby

Hey Sid, hows the head? Oh just nabbin points, making goals happen, and being great. That's right it took a while, but Sidney Crosby has got the Penguins back to top shape, they now can Rival my Red Wings. But what is crazy is Sid is no longer the Kid, he's the captain, and he was also on the verge of having to quit hockey because of concussion issues. But, he has come back with vengeance and now wants to win another Cup of Stanley, he just might, and he might just win d00de of the Month too.


Brad Keselowski

Immense concentration, strong forearms, and the motivation to win in extreme conditions.....and people say NASCAR isn't a sport. Brad is one of the best young talents in the circuit. He has a twitter, and a story of driving with a broken leg (happened last year but still holds merit with me). He's already won at Bristol this season in the Sprint Cup, and he's up there in the standings, but I am predicting a good run for this guy, and what better way then giving him a d00de of the Month nod, for some extra horsepower.

d00de of the Month update : Kevin keeps his groove...back?

Basically the deconstruction of the Blazers last night. Kevin had two sick jams (one off an oop, and the other just a steal and a jam). 25 points on the night from the d00de and his magic keeps on rolling. If he gets into a rhythm he will destroy you.



Be sure to check out the Thunder's upcoming game against the Heat in Miami on Wednesday April fourth. It is not only going to be the game of the year, but a true test of both clubs.

Possible MVP settlement. d00de or LeBron.

Kevin vs Kevin d00de prevails

It was a battle out there, and Kevin Love dropped 51 points. But then there's Kevin.....DURANT.


Sent it to double OT and then it became a battle of attrition. Thunder won 149-140. Yup Kevin had 40 points and 17 rebounds. He's now prepping to get into playoff form, last time I looked there are some days left in March, the d00de might be turning it up for us!

Yo, Colts....make the right choice.

Ok so the team I've grown to adore has traded away our past (ie the Colts traded Peyton Manning)

They sucked last year without Peyton, highlights include the following:a 34-7 loss to the team the Colts have owned (the Texans) in the season opener, A close Monday night game where the Colts gave up the lead to the Tampa Bay Bucs, Then a Sunday night game in prime time where the New Orleans Saints took the innocents of the Colts, the rest is all downhill (even the two games we won).

ALL AND ALL, we ended up with the top pick of the upcoming NFL draft. We all know who the Colts are going to pick, even their former General Manager said something along the lines of "Have fun being a Colt Andrew", and yet the there are these reports of people saying they aren't ruling out RG3...Wait What.

Ok Ok Ok let us leave this to the d00de.

RG3 vs Luck

First off let's take a look at the resumes of these guys, technically both these guys are franchise type players.

Robert Griffin III

-Born in Japan (his parents are both US army Sergeants)
-Three Sport star in high school (basketball, football, and track)
-Broke high school state (Copperas Cove, Texas) records in track for the 110 and 300 meter hurdles.
-Was recruited to play collegiate level football for the following: Stanford (oddly enough), Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska, Houston, Tulsa, Illinois, Washington State, and Oregon.
-Started 11-12 of games fro Baylor his freshman year.
-Tore and ACL his sophomore, and was red-shirted his junior year.
-He then led Baylor in his Senior year to 10-3 season and a bowl game
-He also won the Heisman

Andrew Luck

-Born in DC, but spent time in his childhood overseas in London, England and Frankfurt, Germany.
-Son of Oliver Luck a former NFL QB
-Dominated High school level football
-Was recruited by Northwestern, Oklahoma State, Purdue, Rice, Virginia, and of course Stanford.
-Was given the opportunity to just start his freshmen year, instead said he wanted to earn it, went through the red-shirt program, earned the starting quarterback job.
-Led Stanford to a 12-1 record and dominated the quarterback position.
-Could have declared eligibility for the 2011 draft, said he wanted to finish his degree first from Stanford.
-Went back in the 2011 season for went 11-2 and got a BCS bowl bid.
-Runner up for Heisman.

Now Griffin is a little more interesting I guess, but when you contrast the styles I'd say Colts just need to look at the names. I mean there is a guy who does most of the stuff Peyton use to do, has a last name Luck, and you have a horseshoe for a symbol on the side of the helmet. THAT and not everyone is Cam Newton, taking Griffin and crumpling up what you have and tossing it aside, just to accommodate to a more free form style (the kind of offense Griffin would need) just seems a little to abstract.

Colts Griffin is a sexy pick, but sometimes excitement fizzles out, and durability and trustworthiness is what were after. Let the Skins take Griffin, let us get some Luck.

The Manning Mantle, the Tebowmania

Okay so when I was a kid I watched the NFL at a young age. In the 90's there were two QB's worth noting, Bret Favre and John Elway. Of the two my favorite was John Elway.

SO, my now NFL hero Peyton Manning is now a Denver Bronco, and I get to relive my childhood it appears, but also I think people are just going to go bananas over the Tebow situation.

First things first, I'm happy for both my beloved Colts and Manning, I find it a win-win situation because Colts get the (hopefully) younger version of Peyton and the Broncos get Peyton himself. Now all I hope for is an AFC title match to duke out the rights of "was Peyton the Colts heart or is Luck going to be a legitimate QB". Either way I'm a happy camper.

So onto the next thing, TEBOW. People hate on him because he isn't an "ideal" QB. This may be a true statement but sometimes it doesn't matter if your crappy macaroni art has some glitter dust drizzled on top of it. That's what I feel Tebow is, in college people were saying the same thing, "he isn't ideal" "he lacks accuracy" BLAH BLAH BLAH. The dude goes into the huddle shouts the play trys to execute and makes it an athletic match up between linebackers and himself, its great TV, is it long term no but it is unorthodox and in some cases effective.

(i.e.)


I mean sure in this video you don't see him improvising but throughout that game Tebow rolled all around the line of scrimmage and tuckered out one the best defenses the NFL has to offer.

So, Peyton is a Bronco, and they make it seem like Tebow is going to move from Denver. If this is true then I am all for Jacksonville whether they say no or not. I thought they should have drafted him when they had the chance, I think in Jacksonville not only will his local heroism shine, but also when you pair him with MJD you are taking less pressure off of MJD and your ground game becomes top tier. The pairing of Tebow and Florida goes like Pretzels and Chocolate, not exactly the first thing you think of but when you pair them, ITS A GOOD THING.

But, who is to say he isn't going to become the student to Manning. I mean they may just keep him and cut that other guy (you know Brady Quinn). I mean Tebow is still young even though its his third year, but maybe he can learn from the NFL's new iron man, Peyton. I mean Peyton is old technically, yet it seems as if he is still elite correct? Why not have a veteran shed all the pre-snap reads knowledge, or the complex playbook Peyton knows, why not have Tebow evolve his game?

In the long run I guess only Elway and Jon Fox know. Will we see Manning get his first disciple Timothy? Or are we gonna see Tim take Mania to the city he calls home? Either way, I'd be happy.

d00de of the Month : March

You see, Kevin forgot he was d00de of the Month too. He hit his head really really hard last night, and I guess it knocked him back to d00de status?

Anyways Kevin Durant is the d00de of the Month for March. His team the Thunder are probably the best in the West, and Kevin is the MAN for the Thunder.

Kevin does the following for the Thunder:
1.)Scores
-In the Post
-On the Three Point Line
-In the lane
-In transition
2.)Defends
-Blocks
-Covers some bigs and wing players
3.)Leads
-By example
-Through his play
-Off the court/On the court

The only thing he's really bad at is passing, and he is trying to improve on that too.



That play when Kevin steals the ball and passes it to Harden is what he's be working on.

Its amazing because everything Kevin does for his team benefits and makes the team better, and its kind of odd because all people saw from him was that he's a good scorer (Greg Oden was the number one overall pick from his draft and Kevin was second). So I guess you could say Kevin just stuck to being Kevin, and by that I mean Kevin was open to being coached, unlike some people.

So We'll see in between March Madness how his Thunder do while he reigns as d0tM.
