Horses, Quarterbacks, and Gods

Good luck Smarty Jones! Hopefully the old man who owns him will live through the race. At the end of the Derby, he looked like Vito Corleone taking his last breaths in the garden. A horse from Philly with a chance to win the Triple Crown. Horse racings version of "Rocky". Can you imagine Burgess... Sign in to see full entry.

The Detroit Wizards?

Thanks Michael Jordan, Wes Unseld and Abe Pollin. Thanks for trading 3/5 of the Detroit Pistons starting lineup away from the Washington Wizards. The new Eastern Conference champions. First, thank you Wes for trading Rasheed Wallace for Rod (Otis the Town Drunk) Strickland. And then Ben Wallace for... Sign in to see full entry.

I HATE KOBE!

At least that's what my nephews kept saying Thursday night as the Lakers won game four of the Western Conference Finals. Being a Laker fan, I don't hate Kobe, but I've never really liked him. Always thought that he was a phoney. This made us begin to ramble about other things in sports that we hate... Sign in to see full entry.

Cheryl would have dunked it

Did I curse my man Reggie Miller or what? After getting two b.s. calls on Monday night which allowed him to go to the free throw line and cut Indiana's deficit against Detroit to two, "Indiana Bones" is ahead of the field with a chance for an easy basket that would tie the score. But instead of... Sign in to see full entry.

"Michael, you don't come to Carson, California and treat a man like "Moe" Green like dat!" At least that's what Fredo would have told the wannabe runners in the 100 meter finals of the Home Depot Invitational last Saturday. Because Maurice Green was so fast that he had to have his shoes...

Street Cred Lost

The NBA playoffs are down to the final four. Now that we are at this point it's time to take a look at some players who's "street cred" took major hits this year. Let's start with Allen "We talkin' bout practice?" Iverson. AI for short. The Answer feuds with coach Larry Brown, refuses to go to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Best Jones Pound for Pound!

No it's not Roy Jones, Jr. Because in the words of the champ in "Harlem Knights", "somebody.....got knocked........the f*** out!" That somebody was Roy Jones, Jr. The best pound for pound Jones is none other than our man "Smarty Jones". The winner of the Preakness Stakes by 11 and one half lengths....

The Lakers Win. ......damn.

Those silly Lakers. They win game five with a shot by Derek Fischer with no time on the clock and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And Derek Fischer is the only person who the shot would have gone in for. The Gods would have made Kobe miss. Shaq... Sign in to see full entry.

Spurs 2, Gary Payton 1/ Manny and Juan's Race For the Plate

So the Lakers come back to Staples and win one for the "embattled" Gary Payton. Kobe passed, Shaq blocked a shot and the Lakers shut down Tony Parker as a team. Now "Ghetto" Gary, as he is known in our household, can sit back and relax until game four. Except for Pacers-Heat, everyone stands at 2-1... Sign in to see full entry.

NBA ACTION1 IT'S FANTASTIC?

What kind of basketball are we getting in this years NBA playoffs? That game between the Pistons and Nets on Monday night was one of the worst I've ever seen, high school, college or pro. You mean to tell me that a team with Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin can't score more than 56... Sign in to see full entry.
