Hot or Not; Thundercats are GO! 8-13-10

Written by Grubby | 13 August 2010

But I digress... This is a sports blog, no? While trying to think of a new commentary series to start here on our (not always) College (never) Daily (mostly) Sports Blog, I remembered those hot afternoons and evenings all those years ago spent making fun of, well, you. And the SD Hot or Not series was born. Installment 2, proceed with the chlorophyll!

HOT: Starting sports commentary articles with "but I digress."

NOT: Brandon Marshall. With the less-likely-than-the-owners-want-you-to-think 2011 NFL lockout on yesterday's front burner, Marshall came out yesterday with his plan-B to play for an NBA team.

Asked to clarify whether he will pursue a basketball career if there is no NFL season in 2011, Marshall said: "Not pursuing -- I'm going to be on an NBA team. Seriously."

Marshall said he was good enough to play shooting guard professionally.

The Pro Bowl wideout played basketball at Lake Howell High School in Florida and frequently attended NBA games in Denver.

Quick, someone tell 2010 All-American Scottie Reynolds he can come back from Frosinone, Italy. Also, get Coach Yeary on the horn. The Hawks could use him. The guy can bury threes.

Cohron was quick to point out that there is a good chance the NBA will be locked out that year anyway. Maybe he was talking about the Florida Thundercats of the SPBL. (League fee: $799, trophies not included).

HOT: John Daly. Recently Daly's play in PGA tour events has people talking that his new lifestyle and significant weight loss could have him competing again. I, for one, hope so. Who doesn't like hearing "dang" picked up by on-course mics? Also, his clothing venture, Loudmouth Golf, last week signed their first NCAA deal with my dear University of Tennessee... FOR ORANGE AND WHITE CHECKERBOARD GOLF PANTS!

NOT: Spelling in Alabama. But then, if you were a season ticket holder, you already knew that. Good job. Best part? The people in Mississippi didn't notice either! ZING!
