The Brain: Week One


The psyche of many laboratory mice is often unusually aggressive and delusional as a result of the various injections of drug cocktails. The excessive amounts of potassium attack the central nervous system, then the brain, where which the specimen begins to experience unrealistic life ideals and scenarios. Large victories seem attainable. Anxiously scrambling, searching for that first win.

Although most lab mice don't end up in a roadside ditch rocking an eye patch, some could likely find themselves on the wrong end of  a proverbial maze hunting a deadly mix disguised as a cheesy win.

Boundaries, lanes and roles are implemented for a reason. As long as all beings remain aware of their boundaries, inside its lane accepting the given role, life will be spared. Maybe.

As the 2012 Fantasy football season approaches, we at Tazsports would like to extend a good luck wish to all who participate, going forward.

Punch-Drunk With Talent


By now, we should all be familiar with the superstar-laden roster of the United States men's basketball team. There are some teams that feel they may have a shooter's chance to swipe victory from the jowels of the Americans.

Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng intends to improve Great Britain's roster with his presence. The French national team will promote balance, but lean heavily on the services of NBA stars Tony Parker, Boris Diaw and Nicolas Batum for pursuit of the ever-elusive 'W'. San Antonio's Manu Ginobili and former Houston Rocket Luis Scola will compete for Argentina while the world watches. The stiffest competition may reside with the Brothers Gasol, OKC's Serge Ibaka and Spain.

In hindsight, does really matter which roster has the best mix of NBA players? After Thursday night's 54-point thrashing of the Dominican Republic (with Atlanta's Al Horford), the Americans are favorites to win every game in the same fashion. Perhaps Spain will hold the smallest margin of defeat, only losing by 31. Maybe.
