So my friend Dave, who is an erstwhile contributor to the Page under the pseudonym Blog Reveiz, was born and raised in Cleveland until his family moved here while he was in elementary school. His dad is from Spain, and is one of the great soccer minds of the Twin Cities metro area. Hence, he is an unlikely melange of Timberwolves and Cavaliers fan, Indians and Browns fan, and Spanish soccer aficionado. (It is worth mentioning that his name is one letter away from David Villa's, the best player on the Spanish national team.) Thus, this was his past weekend.
Thursday, July 8, approximately 8:35 PM CDT: Heartbroken; Lebron James goes from being "The Chosen One" to "The Chosen One-Third" in Miami. May or may not have used his Lebron jersey to wipe his Paella-laden poopies from his behind.
Friday morning, July 9: Oddly optimistic; the Heat have to trade Michael Beasley to the Timberwolves in order to clear cap space to be able to sign, oh, 7 players.
Sunday, July 11, 3:30 CDT: Inebriatedly jubilant; the Spaniards along with his quasi-namesake claim the first World Cup title in their nation's history.
The lesson? As a Clevelandian-Minnesotan-Spanish-American, you win some, you lose most.

BIG BABY BREAKS THUMB, HAS SURGERY, GETS SUSPENDED
Last night's opening of the NBA season was full of headlines: LeBron and the Cavs fall to the Celtics despite a 38 point effort, "Agent Zero" Gilbert Arenas returns to Washington and drops 29 and 9 and Baron Davis does his best Jamal Lewis impression for the third year in a row and is still drafted by David Villar, GM of the longshot No Ordinary Loves in this year's Zlatko by Croatia NBA draft.***
the real beauty, however, of the NBA is found in the decision making skills of its quiet heroes, the role players like Glen "Big Baby" Davis who break their thumbs in SUV tussles with childhood friends, have surgery and get suspended from work. Ahhhh, see ya later baseball, let the NBA season rip.
***For more on this year's winners and losers of the fantasy draft, check out the Pierre Page exclusive interview with Matt Prom, GM of Wycked Sceptre, in our Conversation avec Pierre, available only at thepierrepage.blogspot.com.
