I wish the Generals would at least try

I'll start off by saying I had a blast at the Harlem Globetrotters game last night. Those guys know how to put on a show.

Sure, a little of their generational thunder was taken by the And 1 nonsense, but I'm glad I was able to see what they were capable of last night.

It was my first time seeing them. I always wanted to see what they could do, but just never had the time or cash, I guess.

But if I could just say one thing about last night's performance - and I'll stick to strictly calling it a performance - I wish the Generals, those dastardly Generals, would but up more of a fight. I might root for them - I love an underdog - if they tried to stop the show on the other side of the court.

It's cool to see the same play ran over and over again with a little razzle dazzle at the top of the key, but would the Globetrotters really play well against a more adept opponent.

I know it has a purpose, and I'm pretty sure it is for the kids and the kids in all of us.

My son, for one, had a heck of a time. I made last night a father-son night, but it can be hard given his age. He's only 2-years old, so his attention span ran out a little bit before halftime.

He got his mini- basketball and he got his autographs, and of course it was a lot better after he had M&Ms in hand. So we sat there and watched.

He watched the antics as I pointed them out and I watch one team on the court. The Generals are there to make the Globetrotters look good. So I'll just lump them together. They've been playing each other for years and it'll be that way for a while, I assume.

I'm just glad I was able to go this time.
