Final Four Picks

Who you got?! I have three of these teams in my final four. Unfortunately my champion is gone (I won't say who I picked. Y'all might laugh at me.) But I'm looking forward to the games on Saturday. Kentucky vs Louisville will be an excellent game. The in-state rivals going head to head for a spot in the national title. Even though this game will be close, Kentucky will win this one. Kentucky is just too talented. The other match-up is Ohio State and Kansas. I've seen a lot of OSU but i can't say the same for Kansas. I've heard a lot about their big man Thomas Robinson, so i'm looking forward to the Robinson/Sullinger match up. Also Kansas has Tyshawn Taylor who's no slouch either. So in the end, I think we'll see Kentucky vs Kansas for the national title.

Spurs Poke Fun at Tim Duncan's Age

I love this! T.Duncan "DND- OLD"

Tim Tebow Press Conference

Tim Tebow Officially Introduced as a Jet.

Kevin Durant Proves My Point

Last night the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Miami Heat 103-87. This game featured two MVP candidates: LeBron James and Kevin Durant. For reasons I don't understand, LeBron James is the favorite to win MVP by far. James is an excellent player having an excellent season, but so is Durant. Last night, Durant won his match up against LeBron scoring 28 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, and dishing 8 assist. LeBron scored 17, grabbed 3 boards and also had 7 assist. The one knock on Durant was his lack of defense, but he played excellent defense on James yesterday. If Kevin Durant could play defense like that all year, I'm sure more people would agree me.

Tim Tebow Traded to The NY Jets

Tim Tebow has been traded to the NY Jets for two of the Jets draft picks. Tebow's departure from the Broncos was inevitable once the Broncos signed Peyton Manning for 5 years and $96 million. The Jets starting QB is Mark Sanchez so I'm sure Sanchez has to sweating bullets. Mark Sanchez had a sub-par season last year and knowing you are one bad play from being pulled and replaced by Tim Tebow can't help the young QB's psyche. But trading for Tebow could possibly have positive affects on and off the field for the Jets. On the field, there are a number of "Wildcat" plays that could be ran for Tebow. He could also be used in 2 point conversion situations. Also, Tebow can have a positive effect in the Jets' troubled locker room. I'm not sure how happy Tim Tebow is about being a Jet because he probably will not start. He will have to prove himself all over again. 

Peyton Manning Chooses Broncos

Peyton Manning has chosen to join the Denver Broncos. First question that comes to mind is "Why?" The Broncos president, John Elway, is a hall of fame quarterback. I'm not sure what that has to do with the on field production of the Broncos, but apparently that played a part in his choice. Looking at the roster, the Broncos do have a few bright spots. They the best offensive line out of Peyton's final three teams, a decent defense, and the option of potentially signing some familiar pieces for Manning. Another reason is: No Drama. The Broncos do not have the Giants on their schedule next season (Giants' QB is Peyton's lil' brother Eli). Also left out the Broncos schedule is, Peyton's former team, the Indianapolis Colts. Now with Peyton Manning going to Denver, what will happen with Tim Tebow? It has been reported on ESPN that the Broncos will look to trade Tebow. Only time will tell what this means for Tebow's career. Congrats to the Broncos on landing the biggest free agent in NFL History. Too bad for Tim Tebow.

Peyton Will Make Decision Early Next Week

Peyton  Manning told Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers, that he will chose a team by Monday or Tuesday. Surprisingly, the Cardinals are not one of Manning's final three teams. I believed that out of the teams looking for a QB, Arizona gave him the best chance to win another Super Bowl. Notice I said "out of the teams looking for a QB". I had no idea that the San Francisco 49ers were in the "Manning Sweepstakes". I thought they were perfectly happy with Alex Smith (Smith led 49ers to NFC title game). Now out of the three finalist, The 49ers give Peyton the best shot at another ring. Next on that list would be the Denver Broncos, but I have a hard time believing that Peyton would pull the plug on "Tebowmania". The Titans would be a sentimental choice for Manning because he went to school at Tennessee, but besides that, I don't think they have much to offer. I believe Manning needs one more ring to solidify his legacy, so his best option is the 49ers.

Lehigh Defeats Duke

Lehigh beat #2 Duke. I really don't have much else to say. R.I.P. to all of our brackets. I'm just going to pretend I never filled out a bracket. With Duke, Mizzou, and Michigan losing, I have lost three of my Elite Eight. Now I know Michigan was a stretch but I thought they could surprise a couple teams. Well congrats to Lehigh. Good for underdogs. Bad for brackets.

Norfolk State Defeats Mizzou

The first major upset of the tournament has happened. #15 Norfolk State beats #2 Missouri 86-84. Many people had Mizzou going to the Final Four, including President Obama. Norfolk State was led by Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Player of The Year, Kyle O'Quinn who had 26 points and 14 rebounds. I'm sure everyone's bracket is now ruined. If you had Norfolk State beating Mizzou; congratulations! I had Mizzou going to the Elite Eight so at least my Final Four is still intact. But this is what the tournament is all about: Upsets and Cinderella stories. Last year it was VCU. A few years ago it was George Mason. Maybe this year the "Cinderella" team will be Norfolk State.  

Dwight Howard Staying in Orlando

Dwight Howard decided to stay with Orlando. Why? Because he's just too loyal! That's why he signed a long term deal that will keep him in....wait....he only signed for one year?! Howard commits to Orlando for one more year. Which gives him one more year to flip-flop between wanting to stay or leave. On the other hand this gives the Magic more time to bring in some pieces to help Dwight win a championship.

Dwight On Potential Trade

Don't give Orlando false hope. Either stay or demand a trade within the next 23 hours. (Trade Deadline is tomorrow at 3pm)

Obama's NCAA Tournament Picks

President Obama picks Syracuse, Ohio State, Mizzou, and North Carolina to go to the Final Four. I need to hurry up and do my bracket before its too late!

Mike D'Antoni Resigns as Head Coach of The Knicks

Mike D'Antoni resigned as head coach of the New York Knicks today. Rumors have been swirling around the coach's job security since the beginning of the season. D'Antoni was seeking a contract extension at the beginning of the year and was denied, so D'Antoni entered the season on the hot seat. The Knicks have fallen out of the playoff race losing 6 straight games. There was hope for D'Antoni when "Linsanity" was taking over the league, but since Carmelo's return the Knicks have won only two games. Rumors spread last week that Carmelo was not happy with the lack of touches he was getting in the 4th quarter. Melo denies the rumor but I'm pretty sure its true. D'Antoni was hired in 2008 and has only had one playoff appearance (last year). He was 121-167 as coach of the Knicks. Assistant coach, Mike Woodson will take over as interim head coach.

Megatron Gets Mega Contract

Calvin Johnson signed the biggest contract in NFL history today. Johnson signed a deal that will keep him in Detroit for 7 years. His contract is worth $132 million with $60 million guaranteed. This is more than any other player in the NFL and Calvin Johnson is worth every penny. Johnson had a career season last year with 1,681 yards, 96 receptions, and 16 touchdowns. This was a no brainer for the Lions. Congrats Calvin, you're the richest man in the NFL.

Monta Ellis Traded To The Bucks

Monta Ellis was traded yesterday to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Warriors traded 2nd year center Ekpe Udoh and veteran Kwame Brown along with Ellis for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson.  Monta Ellis has been the Warriors' leading scorer for the past four seasons. This year Ellis was averaging 21.9 pts, 6 rebs, and 6 ast for the Warriors. He will now team up with Brandon Jennings to push for a playoff spot in the East.

Tiger Woods aka Crimson Cat???

Shaq knows he's not that thin

The Announcement

After watching ESPN'S 30 for 30 "The Announcement" I have a new found respect for Magic Johnson. November 7th 1991 he announced to the world that he was retiring from the NBA because he contracted the HIV virus. Before his announcement, majority of people believed that HIV/AIDS was a disease only homosexual men and drug addicts could get. Magic Johnson was a public example that anyone can get it if you don't protect yourself. 20 years later Magic is still HIV positive (contrary to many people's belief) but he leads an extraordinary life as a business man and NBA Analysis.

Whoa...his nose was above the rim!

Ricky Rubio Out For The Season

Ricky Rubio tore a ligament in his right knee in Friday night's game against the Lakers. Rubio, who was having a sensational rookie season, will miss the remainder of the season. Obviously, this is a huge loss for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were poised to make a playoff push currently in the 9th spot in the Western Conference. Rubio was also recieving consideration for Rookie Of The Year, challenging Kyrie Irving for the award. Rubio averaged  10.6 points and 8.2 assist in 41 games for the Timberwolves.

Remember When The Pistons Were Good?

I went to the Pistons game last night when they played the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons won by 2 and the game was close most of the way. But for some reason the game was still boring! People were sleep with 2 minutes left in the game and the game going down to the wire! This made me think....this would've never happened back in '04! Back then the Pistons were great! They played suffocating defense and made clutch plays and they had a hall of fame coach in Larry Brown. I miss those days....this video is just a reminder of what we used to have...

LeBron wants Peyton in Miami

LeBron makes it known that he would like to see Peyton Manning come to Miami. I guess that's a decent fit. Manning, Marshall and Reggie Bush???

Kobe vs MJ

Yeeeea.....Kobe is the closest thing to MJ yet he's so far. MJ G.O.A.T.

End Of An Era

News broke yesterday that the Indianapolis Colts will not be re-signing Peyton Manning. Manning was due 28 mil on March 8th if the Colts would've decided to keep him. Instead, Colts' owner Jim Irsay decided it made more sense to part ways with the future Hall Of Fame'er. Peyton Manning missed all of last season with a neck injury that required four surgeries. The Colts had a 2-14 record which gave them the number one pick in this year's up coming draft. Rather than taking a gamble on the possibly unhealthy Manning (looks healthy to me...) the Colts will rebuild through the draft. The consensus number one pick is Stanford QB, Andrew Luck. The Colts will began a new era with Luck and say goodbye to Manning. Peyton Manning has meant so much to this franchise and to the city. Manning was the 1st pick in the 1998 NFL draft. He went on to win Rookie of The Year in '98. He has won 4 MVPs and started 208 straight regular season games for the Colts. Manning led the Colts to two Super Bowls, winning one in 2005. Now that we know Manning will not be a Colt, let the Manning sweepstakes begin! There are a few teams that need a QB: Redskins, Dolphins and possibly the Jets are a few of the teams interested in Peyton. A team I would love to see Manning play for is the Arizona Cardinals. He could easily take over the division and plus he'll get to throw passes to the best WR in the game, Larry Fitzgerald. I hope that happens. I think that would be the perfect fit for Peyton.

Deron Williams Drops 57 On The Bobcats

Deron Williams scores, a career high and NBA Season high, 57 points against the Bobcats. Even though it was against the 4-31 Bobcats, 57 is still impressive

Rondo Gets Historic Triple-Double in OT win Against Knicks

Rondo messed around a got a triple-double! Bet the Celts' keep him now! 18 points 17 rebounds and 20 assist?! Ridiculous!

Players Receiving Money For Injuring Opposing Players

Defensive Coordinator, Gregg Williams has admitted to overseeing a "Bounty System" that rewarded players for injuries inflicted on opposing players while he was the defensive coordinator for the Saints. This is against NFL rules but many players and former players are saying that this goes on every team and has been going on for years. Gregg Williams rewarded players for "knock outs" and "cart-offs" which in my opinion is the ugliest part of the game. There is nothing worse than seeing a player laying on the field motionless after a big hit. It is disgusting to me that players are getting $1,500 rewards for that. Many former players and current players have taken to twitter and ESPN to voice their opinions. The sad thing to me is that a lot of them are defending this. Maybe they have taken too many shots to the head, but I can't see how anyone can defend receiving money for possibly ending another player's career. Gregg Williams is meeting with league officials today. I'm sure major penalties will be handed out by Commissioner Goodell.

Best LeBron Commercial

So this is why he won't take the last shot....I get it now! lol

Josh Smith Puts "IBlocka" on a Poster

This was better than Blake Griffin's dunk on Perkins...yup! I said it!

Why Won't He Take The Last Shot?!

Its the same old story. Last seconds of the game. Lebron has the ball. 3...2...1...pass? Why won't LeBron shoot the last shot? For the second time in a week, Lebron tries to make a play instead of taking the last shot to win the game. The Miami Heat lost 99-98 to the Utah Jazz on Friday. LeBron James was hot! Burring a number of difficult shots. It looked like LeBron was going to close the game, but in the last seconds of the game, he passes the ball to Udonis Haslem on a pick-n-roll? Haslem takes the last shot and of course he missed. James did the same thing in the All-Star game. He brought the East all the way back just to turn the ball over in the last seconds of the game. Unlike other times he's passed instead of shooting, James actually showed some frustration over his choice through twitter. LeBron tweeted "Man I have a really sick feeling in my stomach right now! Really wanted tonight's game. I just had to make one more dang play out there" (Yea he really said dang lol) But, maybe LeBron has finally learned his lesson. Unless Wade or Bosh is wide open, just shoot LeBron. The shot never taken is always a miss.
