Wolves Lose Again

I'm losing interest again.

Hawks Now 15-35

And they beat the Wolves last night.

Ronda Rousey

The sports headlines this morning had Ronda joining WWE.

At one point in her career, this would have been cool, but she lost her last 2 UFC fights rather badly, and the women that beat her then lost THEIR next fights rather badly. At one point she was considered the "baddest woman on the planet."

Now?

I don't think anyone much cares.

The WWE will make a big deal out of the signing trying to garner publicity by attempting to make her the female Brock Lesnar.

But personally, I don't like the WWE women's division at all, and this is going to make me dislike it even more. SOME of the women they have are pretty good, but now Ronda will get the push THEY deserve, making their women's division even worse.

And I'm afraid even the men that the WWE should be pushing will have to take a back seat to the coming Rousey blitz.

sigh...

Butler's Back!

There's no doubt that the Wolves missed Jimmy Butler their last four games, but with him back last night the Wolves took care of Brooklyn.

Go Wolves!

Roger Federer

Just to let you know how long I've been doing a sports blog, it was over 10 years ago that I wrote about which person was better in sports. The post compared two great champions in their respective sports, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.

Even though both were at the top of their respective games at the time, I gave the edge to Federer. I argued if he ever had a bad day, he was done with any tournament he was in. Woods frequently had bad rounds, but golf was a more forgiving sport, and he could make up for bad days with follow-up great days.

10 years later, it's obvious that I was right. Federer is no longer the best in the world at what he does, but he's still good enough to win grand slam championships. He took the Aussie Open yesterday, his 20th grand slam title. Tiger? He was just happy to make the final cut in his last tournament. He hadn't even done that for such a very long time.

You can argue the greatest ever for any sport all you want, but Federer has to be in the conversation. His dominance over a long period of time with a sport that is grueling and unforgiving is unmatched.

I'd nominate Federer for GOAT. ( Greatest of all-time) What Brady is doing in football is amazing. What Michael did in basketball was unbelievable, but what Federer is still doing is unmatched.

Okay, Brady with another Super Bowl ring NEXT weekend would at least get me thinking about it again...

Wild

I haven't said much about the Wild this season. Primarily, because, you know, they play hockey. BUT an even better reason was because they got off to such a poor start.

That's been changing lately. They've been winning and impressing commentators for the last month. The latest ESPN power rankings now has them at number 11.

Read for yourself:

Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons  tried an experiment this past season. They cut the price of their concessions by 50%

The result? They cleared 16% more on food and beverage sales this season. And fans were happier with the lower prices.

They also hired more people to make and distribute the food. A big win for everyone involved.

Let's see if other sports teams take notice!
