This weekend we learned:

That the NBA playoffs just got a whole lot less interesting with the Suns’ questionable departure. We’re not here to say the Suns would have won the series against the Spurs if the shady game suspensions had not been handed out (the more we look back at the series, the more we feel like the Spurs would have taken it regardless), but we are here to say that the series–and the the playoffs as a whole–were made a whole lot less interesting because of the suspensions.

It’s become a “Matrix” Trilogy sort of situation: where you’re given this initial taste of awesomeness only to be completely underwhelmed after you decide to get geeked up for the second and third act.

We should have all walked away from Suns-Spurs with the feeling we just witnessed the NBA championship. Talk about unsatisfying. All you out there that like to boast David Stern as the smartest guy in the room at all times better get up off your knees and start reconsidering your position. Unless Lebron takes Cleveland to the finals, the NBA has regressed in the last month, negating what should have been a year of forward momentum.

Nash, you’re still our favorite Canadian though, you tremendous hoser you. Believe it.

We also learned:

• That the Old Ball Coach takes a piss wherever he damn well pleases.
• And that someone has finally stepped up and taken the baton from Brian Bosworth, as Tony Romo will judge the Miss Universe Pageant and attempt to seize the title of nation’s Most Unaccomplished Recognizable Athlete.
