With referee gambling allegations afoot and a previously established "thug reputation" in public eye, I have to ask the question: Is the NBA destined to become an incarnation of professional boxing in this country?

Here's a blast from the past... Neon gets jiggy with himself in this pre-neckband "Must be the money" music video

I don't know exactly how accurate their study was... but who cares?

10. Lawrence Taylor (NES - Tecmo Bowl)

Think its impossible to be behind the line of scrimmage before a pass and still make the interception 20 yards down field? Think again. Playing with LT was like having a coked-up, roided-out tackling freak on your squad.... errr... wait. Funny how a game this primative could be so true to life!

9. Fat Player (NES - Ice Hockey)

Game's were so much better when you assembled your team based on stereotypes alone. Skinny dudes bounced off these guys like a quarter off Posh Spice's ass. Throw in the fact .... (read more)

Kenny Loggins, shirtless beach volleyball, awkward muscle flexing moments.... just another day at Top Gun.....

.... My point is, don't think for a second that guys in the Falcon's locker room care that Mike Vick is on trial for drowning, strangling and electrocuting domesticated animals. My bet is that their too worried about their own, more traditional, indictments on drug and weapon charges to care about what's going on with their so-called "leader". Either that, or they're just counting the minutes until the end of practice so they can strap up and head straight to the local stripper. And, in they're defense, why should they care? Would it distract you from your job if a co-worker down the hall was busted for making it rain outside the club? Nah, I'm guessing you're a lot more distracted by youtube and sports blogs throughout the day than you are by other people's personal lives.... (read more)

Apparently federal indictments are the thing to have in sports nowadays. Not to be out-done by the NFL's grotesque dog killing scandal, the NBA unleashed a referee game fixing controversy today. Reportedly, an unnamed referee with obvious gambling issues got hooked up with New York City mobsters in a social betting ring. Right now, they're not saying whether the ref purposefully impacted the outcomes of NBA games or not-- but you've got to think that's just around the corner. If someone has close ties to the mob, then I'd be willing to guess that at some point, some 300 pound Italian would knock on their door at 4am and pitch them the idea of spread fixing--You know, blowing a few whistles late in the game to make sure the Knicks cover or making sure the Heat are in the bonus at the end of the third. At that point, you'd better be on board or else something bad is about to happen to you, your horse, and your bedsheets.... (Read More)

I wanted to bump this link cause I like the website so much.... Big Ben smashed, Mike Vick hitting a joint, Jeff Reed blown out of his mind... doesn't get much better than this

Criticisms:

1) The Big Three: Is there such a thing as too much Peyton? If there is, than last night was certainly it. After millions of votes, a dozen speeches and two hours of show, all I took from it was that there are only 3 athletes in sports: Peyton, Shaq and Big Ben. If you watched it, you know what I mean. The whole show was: present award, cut to Shaq, tell Joke, cut to Peyton, show Big Ben, back to Shaq, more Peyton... Hold on Peyton... hold on Peyton... and we're out. ESPN was pimping those three like a pair of Red Wings playoff tickets.

2) Predictable: Nothing excited me about any of the nominees or winners. I'm sorry, but the Lady Volunteers are the team of the year-- not the Indianapolis Colts. Hey that's not ESPN's fault, right? After all, the fans are the ones who voted on this. But you know what--.... (Read More)

Pictures of athletes drunk in bars/ at parties... haha too good

If you didn't see it, all you missed was about an hour of LA Galaxy reps throwing "he made it possible"'s around and patting each other's backs while trying to resist their urges to kiss Beckham on the stage.

Regardless of how the press conference went down, the Beckham's are certainly making noise in the US. NBC has already slapped a reality television show on Posh, which you've got to love. That's so America. "Welcome to the states, here's your camera crew. Now go to the DMV.... can you say Academy Award?". And the other Beckham, well he's already getting blasted by Soccer legend Pele: ..... (read more)

(continued from blog)..... But the Sooners also got slapped with the Total Recall treatment: Erasure of the 2005 football season. What exactly does that mean? What are the implications of erasing an entire season? Let me explain how this is going to work:

1) All alumni children born in the year 2005 must be sacrificed at a church of their choosing.

2) Oklahoma players who were drafted after that season will have to move to the careers that they would have had (if they never played football). Most will become street thugs.

3) People's memories of Oklahoma games that season will slowly evolve to visions of Eastern Motors Commercials.

4) Games from that year that are scheduled to re-air on ESPN classic will magically revert to otherwise normally scheduled programming (which is probably the 1981 World's Strongest man competition or some messed up kid trying to spell "prospicience")

Mike Gottfried

I'm sorry, but you'd think that you'd have to be able to speak English in order to be a sports announcer in this country. Mike Gottfried is proof otherwise. The guy rarely finishes sentences during games and often mistakes current players for ones who have already graduated. Every Saturday, Gottfried manages to make one of the most thrilling events on earth feel like your grandfather's alcohol intervention. How on earth this man .... (Read More)

Steve McNair's pending drunk-driving charges have been dropped and his lawyer is already going "Saint Steven" with it. McNair's brother-in-law (who was actually driving the car) struck a plea bargain with cops, leaving the once-shifty QB an opening to play the, "I didn't know it was a bad idea to let an inebriated person drive my car" defense. Yah Steve, we'll buy that one. He must have picked that one up from one of Ray-Ray's sideline sermons-- What? Is letting your posse knife some dude "murder"? I don't think so... (read more)

....And when it finally looked as if Kobayashi was about to swallow Chestnut at the 10:30 mark, I thought to myself, "I am watching an individual performance like I have never seen. Sure, Jordan and Schilling played through pain, but has anyone in the history of sports ever done anything so harrowing and courageous?"

Of course, these thoughts left my head pretty abruptly when I saw the Tsunami vomit in his own hands and then proceed to re-eat his regurgitation like a rabid dog.... (read more)
