Curvy Momager Sport Report | 3 21 16

Well this post has taken a minute to put up.  I guess that's what happens when things start exploding!  But its always great to get back to your roots so here goes....


Prayers up for Craig Sager

We are sadden to hear about the return of Craig's leukemia and his continued battle.  The infamous

sportscaster will be featured on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel tonight discussing his recent doctors report.  Not only do I love seeing Craig during the NBA games but really love his appreciation for the game and the players.  Praying for you Sager!

Busted, Disgusted and Can't be Trusted

Yes it's that time of the year where we all attempt to find the golden ticket to who will win the bracket challenge.  This year has been no different for me because my bracket was busted the second day.  Can you say Michigan State?  How does that happen?  Welp it's still been such an amazing bout of games I finally threw away my tissue and enjoyed the weekend's worth of games.  Great to see one of my Momager girlfriends DeAndre Bembry lead his St. Joe's team past a first round win.  Oregon banged out on them in the end but these are the stories March Madness is made of.

Mom School

Alright mom's time to get your learn on.  What would you say is one thing you get wrong when watching your favorite MVP play?  Foul calls?  Don't worry me too, I ain't shame to admit that I yell at zebras and don't have a clue, well sometimes.  So this week's Mom School is dedicated to the travel foul call.

This call is called more than any other in games, the travel call.  When the ref rotates his arms as pictured below a player has taken a step on the court and not dribbled the ball.  This call can cause the ball to be turned over to the other team.  It's difficult to detect sometimes especially with players that travel the floor quickly but sometimes it's extremely obvious and never called, hello James Harden!  Now here's a bonus.  If your player shoots and the ball doesn't hit the rim, backboard or hoop and they attempt to touch the ball they will get a whistle, according to NBA rules.

Getting out of a RUT. Care to join me?

Howdy there!  Yes I have been MIA for about three months now.  I think I consider that a rut although I've been pretty cheery and bubble just not wanted to touch computer screen.  One reason, work has been ultra busy.  The 9-5 gets that way in the last quarter of the year.  So I've got to get out of this work rut and back into hustle mode.  Which is where I truly find most of my joy!  So to begin I re-read an article from MORE magazine and found a few steps to move past this rut.

Listen to your power playlist.  Here are a few songs on mine:
                    Right Hand by Drake
                    Love on Top by Beyonce
                    679 by Fetty Wap featuring The Remy Boyz
                    Flashlight by Jessie J
                    Do It Like Me Challenge by
                    I'm Sorry by Justin Bieber

Count my blessings  The article suggest doing this once a week but I say every day!

Throw 9 things away each day.  Feng shui says cleaning clutter opens up new ideas and opportunities.

Write letters of gratitude to 10 people, or a card.  Don't send an email or text!

Teach someone something.  Currently teaching my daughter to count money when making change.  Truly a lost art.

Listen to an inspiring speech "The Power of Introverts" by Susan Cain on www.ted.com/talks

Read an inspiring book, my choice You are a Badass

Doodle or color.  Can you say adult coloring books?  They are the newest crazy and you can find them literally everywhere.  Don't forget the color pencils too.

There you have it, give it a try.  January is my get out of the RUT month so February better look out.

Sports from a Mom's perspective.....

Who Rules The World? GIRLS
The A's hired coach Justine Siegal last week making her the first female coach for an MLB team.  How major is that?  Get it major, major league...yeah okay.  Well I thought it was cute.  Anywhoo she's working with the developmental league as a guest instructor.  Virtual High 5s!

Major Baller Money
John Wall just up'd his cred as a true NBA Baller Giver.  Wall donated $400K to The Center in DC, homeless.  He's actually known for being charitable but the size of this donation is major!

D. Rose OUT
Orbital fracture is the diagnosis.  Cheers to the start of the season but what a rough way to start for Derrick Rose.  Good news is his surgery was successful and he's expected to be back by the start of the regular season.  My kid isn't happy at all -- he's truly a Rose fan.

On IG one day and stumbled across the Warriors new PF Jason Thompson's blog.  Moms check it out there's definitely a great message this young man is sharing about his NBA story and how he keeps a positive attitude.  Share it with you kid:  Jason Thompson Blog 

Until next week,

SpaceJam Gear

MJ's Tune Squad throwback, the original, is going on sale.  10/1 all you need is between $10 - 15 thou and you can bid for a chance to own it.  Thanks for sharing +SportsManias 

In Video Game News

Have you seen your son this weekend?  I think mine came out when he was looking for food and quickly retreated back to his room.  Why?  NBA2K16 was released on Friday night to all that pre-ordered.  One baller not happy with the game is Paul George.  George was out last season due to a leg injury sustained during a Team USA game.  His rating in the game was lower then he felt BUT good news the game offers an update during the season so if he shows out he'll be able to move up.  Man these guys take this serious! 

Roll BOUNCE

Moms have you smelled the new Bounce Pure Sport Sheets?  Oh my these babies are gonna change the game of laundry for sure.  Sheets that cover up any locker room (baller's bedroom) smell and leaving clothes and uniforms fricky fricky FRESH!  Priced the same and carried at your local Target.  Run and GET SOME (in my cheerleader voice) today!

Motivational Quote of the Week

"Remember you are half-water.  If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it.  Water does."

DEM BOYS LOOKING at SERIOUS INJURIES

In last week's game WR Dez Bryant injured himself causing him to miss a month out of the season.  Welp this week QB Tony Romo suffered a collar bone fracture - OUCH - and is suspected to be out for the same amount of time.  Good news is they are 2-0 for the season though.

HEATED HARVICK at NASCAR

Things got testy between Kevin Harvick and  Jimmie Johnson after The Sprint Cup playoffs where Harvick finished 42nd.  Being the returning champion it didn't sit well with him that Johnson made contact with him in the race forcing Harvick towards the wall.  Luckily Harvick's manager intervened after Kevin shoved Jimmie and balled his fist.  I had no idea NASCAR was like Basketball Wives LA!

KOBE RETURNS

This news is sure to make Lakers fans happy, not because he's going to make miraculous changes to the line up BUT because of the hurdles Kobe Bryant had to go through to return to the game.  It's his 20th season and he's scheduled to start practicing with the team at the end of the month.



SATs

If you don't have your high schooler registered for the SAT or PSAT get on it this week.  You can check the College Board website for test dates and fees.  Remember coaches are looking at test information as early as Junior year for athletes.
