Fortune for a Thursday

Who says Confusingous can’t cook?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Hasheem, say it ain’t so …

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Thanks Femalefan.com!

Hasheem Wallpaper’s days are numbered it appears!

You may remember Confusingous’ plee to Hasheem Thabeet a few days back. You remember that he had Hasheem’s best interest at heart.

It seems that Hasheem does not have Confusingous’ best interest at heart. As reported yesterday, it appears he will forgo his senior year and test the waters of the NBA Draft.

As he is only in the process of interviewing agents, his picture is still on the desktop. But, Our Resident Seer has his finger on the trigger. When he signs on the dotted line, Frank Zappa goes back up!

Goodbye to Harry Kalas

Monday, April 13th, 2009

It is with much sadness that Confusingous must report the unexpected passing of Harry Kalas.

It was less then a week ago that Our Resident Seer dined at the restaurant named in his honor at Citizens Bank Park.

The Ford C. Frick Award Winner called the Phillies action from 1971 until his passing.

Thank you ESPN

Stay, Hasheem, Stay

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Confusingous wants Hasheem Thabeet to stay in school. Of course, there are selfish reasons. The main one being that him being on the court guarentees them a spot in the NCAA tournament (possible sanctions aside). But, Confusingous thinks he needs to.

His offense has improved remarkably since he arrived at Storrs a few years back. But it still needs work. He needs to develop an instinct for getting to the rim fast. He needs to develop a face-to-basket game. While he plays like a ten foot monster on the defensive end, he shrinks to a 6 foot guard on the offensive end.

One more year will turn a draft question mark into an exclamation point. Confusingous is aware of the challenging home situation that Hasheem faces, and would not blame him for taking the money to improve his family’s life. However, one year at school could make the difference between first round bust and NBA All-Star.

So, while Hasheem mulls over his tough decision, Confusingous has started a vigil. His Windows background will be an image of Hasheem. If Hasheem stays, it will remain so throughout the 2009-10 College Basketball season.

So, Hasheem, some food for thought.

thank you, femalefan.com!

Hasheem, this will be on Confusingous’ desktop as long as you are eligible to play for UConn! Sleep on it! (image – femalefan.com)

I’ll take brinner over brunch anyday.

Confusingous is in the mood for a four point play …

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Prelude:

The Four Point Play:

The Rangers make the 2009 NHL playoffs -

Can they play more than four games is the question.

Need Confusingous’ thoughts on the Final Four?

Calhoun to return to UConn for 2009-10 season!

Friday, April 10th, 2009

AP

Several outlets have reported the return of Jim Calhoun to the coaching post at Connecticut for the 2009-10 Men’s Basketball season.

What does he have waiting for him? Well, beyond the obvious questions on recruiting tactics, Fox Sports feels he has a top 15 program while Sports Illustrated is fairly more optimistic calling it a top 5 team.

Regardless, it’s good to have the coach returning to the program he helped build.

Added Bonus: Fun game, see if you can count all the NBA busts

Future Fortunes …

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

For those who religiously read Confusingous, you know that our Resident Seer is leaving for a trip in search of knowledge in Detroit, Michigan. Thus, he will not be delivering fortunes for a few days.

Please do not walk around aimlessly until then. If need be, you can check out the Fortunes Archive here.

On the edge of a dream …

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Ever been close to a dream being realized?

Confusingous is right there. First, he will be attending the Final Four this weekend and see his Huskies go for a 3rd National Championship. So one dream nears realization.

However, the location, Detroit, allows for the realization of a second dream.

Our Resident Seer is obsessed with Tim Hortons. Could it be that Tim Horton was a former Ranger? Could it be that it serves coffee and donuts? Could it be all of the above? Regardless, Detroit has 100’s of these bad boys in and around it’s vicinity. There is like 50 of them in Windsor!

So close to a dream. So close.
