Guidelines

Let's lay out some guidelines:
First of all, I'm no journalist. I am going to always give the fan's account. I don't have fancy-schmancy researchers looking up stats for me so I can compare the shooting percentage of a team with at least 10 straight wins after winning a championship. That's just not my thing. I'm just a dude that really likes sports. Luckily for me (and hopefully you), we live in a time where I have an outlet to share my thoughts.

Second, I promise to never make the normal run-of-the-mill comparisons. You've all heard them. If you don't like someone in politics, they are a Nazi. Obama was a Nazi, Bush was a Nazi, the anti-illegal immigration folks are Nazis. Really, I don't think any of those people have much in common at all with the Nazis. But, it sure makes for a nice effect.

The same idea, is used in the sports world far too-often. The worst of which is when the NBA talking heads evaluate a white guy. Why can we only compare white people to other white people? Someone please explain this to me. If someone is high on Gordon Hayward, the sophomore from Butler, people say he's the second coming of Larry Bird. If they think he's just going to be an average pro, then he's the the next Mike Dunleavy. Why can't he be a shorter Channing Frye?

Third, well that's pretty much the only one I have so far. I you think there should be more leave a post.
