What We Learned This Week
Haven’t been around much this week as I’ve been busy with work and haven’t had much time to put anything up here. It was an interesting week so let’s take a review…
- The Heat were “back” this week after defeating the Suns in a thriller in the desert. The Heat were then “back to sucking” last evening as the Wizards came to town and knocked Shaq’s lazy ass to the bench on 3-6 shooting. 6 total shots from Shaq and he takes 20 mill a season?
- The Mitchell Report was released yesterday and we learned that “Virtually every player on the Marlins was ‘doing something’ ranging from steroids and greenies, to marijuana, etc.” Kevin Brown, Josias Manzanillo, Gregg Zaun, Paul Lo Duca, Ricky Bones, Ron Villone, Matt Herges, Chad Allen, Ismael Valdez, Gary Sheffield, and Benito Santiago were the lucky winners in the Marlins steroid derby. We also learned that the 2001-2002 teams really loved to smoke marijuana.
- Miami-Dade released it’s new ballpark proposal this week and all things point to a stadium deal being done possibly by next week. Not sure the Marlins have ever been closer to getting a stadium but I’m sure Loria will somehow screw this up. If finalized the Fish will have to switch to the name the Miami Marlins. It has a nice ring to it. Not sure about everyone’s opinion on the matter but I hate the idea of public money being used for this thing. Loria is such a thief. Of course now that his end of the deal is lower, he can get the money for the stadium. Video highlights here and here.
- Cam Cameron is a scared man. Scared of history and scared of losing his job. That’s why Cleo Lemon has been named QB for this Sunday’s game against the Ravens. We just can’t escape him and we just can’t escape this freakin season. The sucking commences Sunday in Miami. The Ravens may play Troy Smith and of course since he only has a few professional snaps under his belt, he will shove it right up Miami’s asses.
I should have more time coming up next week to start posting more frequently. I have a 2 week vacation coming up starting on the 21st so you can be sure SporTech will be rocking and rolling while I am in town.
As always if anyone is interested in contributing to SporTech Matter please hit me up.

I can almost smell the popcorn and cotton candy. Samson says; “We’re on the same page…” – but I don’t know what he’s reading. I’ll remain skeptical and only support a project not using any of my money.
Floridians should certainly be able to tolerate a “Miami Marlins”, as long as anyone puts up with a “NY” Giants. Who cares though. It will sell tons of new hat, shirts and crap,..er gear. Making Loria more money to fund the stadium.

I find it hilarious that Loria is nowhere to be found during important negotiations and press conferences regarding HIS team and HIS stadium.

JD – Wow, what a sad time to be a sports fan in Florida…Man. Sorry about the Marlins, I mean they find a way to come back after the team being striped down, but if I were in your shoes, I’d be disheartened.
Been a long time, what’s up JD?

Hey nice to see you Anthony. Longtime hope everything is good. What bothers me the most is the fact we are on the verge of a stadium deal and we can’t bring along 2 of our most popular players in team history, Cabrera and Willis.
As a fan I am disheartened but at the same time I’m starting to become numb to all this crap.
Things are going that good up in MD either I take it from all the reports I read?

After reading the list of names on the Mitchell Report, there were many names that were unexpected. One name however, surly is not a surprise. That player is Kevin Brown. Could anyone forget the former Yankee pitcher in a “roid rage” punching a cement wall injuring his hand and causing the Yankees to loose many games without his overpriced arm? If memory serves the Boston Red Sox benefited from the aformentioned conduct. It should also be noted that very few if any markee Red Sox players appeared on the list.
