NBA DRAFT TIME!!!!! Possibly my favorite sports day of the year. I don't know why it is, maybe it's the idea that my Knicks can be great again if they select the right guy, maybe it's watching kids who have never had a dollar in their life become instant millionaires, maybe it's hearing Jay Bilas use the same 7 adjectives over and over again I don't know why but I come back every year with more and more excitement. It's weird I watched more of the draft than the NBA finals. For some of us we love it!! Anyways last night I decided to use Twitter as an electronic diary to store my thoughts for today's blog, you can follow me at Twitter.com/tpalmeri. Anyways without further ado.........TP's draft blog..............
7:00 pm --The night starts off with a bang as not only did the beautiful Farrah Fawcett pass away after a long illness, but Michael Jackson passes away suddenly yesterday.......so bizarro just an interesting news night before my sports XMAS..........anyways here are my thoughts via Twitter.
