Me vs. Zach Randolph in the XBox Showdown (a photo history)

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:30:00 -0500

I came into the matchup feeling fantastic about my chances. While Zach Randolph is an NBA player, and NBA players are great at XBOX, I figured that with an 8 week old baby girl that is keeping him up at night that he probably had not had much time to play the game this year. I was having to play with the Pistons, while Zach was playing with the Grizzlies. Before we even start the game he is going into all of these screens I have never ev...

Will Randolph Become A Leader On The Memphis Grizzlies?

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:11:37 -0500

There is no doubt about the ability of Memphis Grizzlies big man Zach Randolph; the question is can he conduct himself like a man. So far in his NBA career the man nicknamed “Z-BO” has been a problem child for each of his teams he has been on. The “Memphis Commercial-Appeal” is reporting that his [...]

The Clippers have had a nice offseason, drafting Blake Griffin and unloading Zach Randolph. Now, all they need is for Baron Davis to have the kind of season he had in Golden State two years ago or like he had a few years before that in New Orleans. If Davis and coach Mike Dunleavy can come to some kind of understanding and find some kind of common ground in terms of style of play, the Clippers should battle for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Zach Randolph's Classic Basketball Pranks

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:41:00 -0500

It's widely known that professional athletes love to play pranks on each other. In baseball, one of your teammates will set your foot on fire and call it a "hot foot." In football, rookies are often duct taped to goalposts then left to starve in the hot sun. In hockey, it's a rite of passage to have your jugular slashed by a rusty skate in a little joke called "icing." It's all in the game, and it's super fun because most of the time, no one dies.Basketball...

Why do People Keep Trading For Zach Randolph?

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:01:00 -0500

Yesterday the Memphis Grizzlies decided to ship Quentin Richardson for Zach Randolph which begs the question, WHY? Why in the world do you want Zach Randolph? How has this man and his incredibly bloated contract actually been traded three times in as many seasons?

In each of his trades he was acquired for essentially nothing. The Knicks acquired him from Portland for Steve Francis, Channing Frye and a bag of peanuts aka nothing of value. The Clippers acquired him for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas even though Cuttino Mobley had a heart issue that forced him into retirement. And now the Grizzlies pick him up for an aging Quentin Richardson who no longer can shoot the basketball. In each case the Randolph trader was eager as hell to dump him despite the fact that he is almost a guaranteed 20 & 10.

So if you're the Memphis Grizzlies, what the hell are you doing? Shouldn't it be evident by the fact that nobody wants him that you shouldn't deal for him. When the Clippers said yes to Quentin Richardson, shouldn't that have thrown up some big red flags?

The worst part is that Memphis is building their team around youth, and youth with a potentially checkered past. The #1 star OJ Mayo has his NCAA Scandal and high school issues. The #2 star Rudy Gay was massively accused for less than stellar effort while at UConn. And now Zach Randolph is going to be the veteran leader. That sounds like a fantastic idea.

Memphis = Stupid

July Fireworks: Zach Randolph traded

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:38:57 -0500

Looks like Steve Perrin is just as charmed as good old Clipper Steve. News notes saying that the Memphis deal for Randolph is going through, with the Clips getting Buckner and Richardson. Clips save a lot of money, get backups at the 2 and 3, and become players in the 2010 free agency sweepstakes. Explosive!

The Clippers could have traded Zach Randolph…and didn’t?

Two sources told the Commercial Appeal that the Clippers were thisclose to unloading Zach Randolph and his ridiculous contract.

DUI: Zach Randolph Doesn't Drive Drunk Very Well

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:03:46 -0500

It’s pretty much a given fact of life that Zach Randolph is bad at things. We mean everything. If Zach were tasked to build a car out of Legos, he would end up handing you a dead fish covered in asbestos and lead paint. So when he decided to get sensationally drunk (on a Sunday [...]
