The Return of 4Quarters

As a new season of college football and the NFL are close to begginning and being out of work I felt its important to resume the blog. Also I've rebranded this blog from thedrUNKenLoper to 4Quarters with Mike Vamosi. As some of you may or may not remember I hosted a radio show in college with this name and wrote a column in the Antelope with this name. I felt it was a novel idea to bring it back once again where I pick four sports topics and give my opinions on it. Hope you enjoy it, in addition that it takes me places.

First Quarter: Royal Expectations
- I feel that losing 100 games is an embarrassment even if your not going to contend you might as well be the grand loser (you can have it this year Houston). Playing well the last two month with the young talent should KC make the supposive jump most Royals fans have been waiting for in 2012 or realistically 2013. During the teams last road trip through Boston and Cleveland the Royals went 4-3 which is encouraging no doubt given how bad they've been away from the K. 70 or more wins is what I hope this team can get and build momentum for next season.

Second Quarter: 2012 All-Star Game Logo
- July 10, 2012 Kauffman Stadium will host their first All Stat Game in 39 years (Royals Stadium at the time in 1973, NL won 7-1). I like that the logo reflected KC's logo with a crown but would have liked to have the script be the cursive that the Royals use for everything and not the script that MLB decided on. Again not a horrible logo but throw in some fountains but at least use a script Royals fans are familar with.

Third Quarter: NBA Lockout
- To those who like the National Basketball Association it maybe awhile for the league to resume play. This shouldn't be a surprise because the players and owners are much further apart than they were in the NFL. The league really needs to figure about competive balance like the other leagues have seen not one benefical to just the Boston, LA Lakers of the league sure the bigger markets such as Chicago, New York, Dallas etc but the mid to small markets need to have hope also.

Fourth Quarter: Philadelphia Heat-gles?
- At the start of the week a certain four letter network asked the question of are the Philadelphia Eagles the Miami Heat of the NFL? Nothing more than a slow news week says I because a football roster isn't like a basketball roster and an addition of two or three players puts you in position for the title. Also the competition is different and it seems that the other teams in the league don't like the press Philadelphia is already getting before the start of the season.

Well the rebranding is done and hopefully I'll produce a couple entries per week.

Thanks and as always

Vmos Away!
