Knicks pay tribute to Eddy Curry with balloon popping


Last night we attended the Knicks versus Sixers preseason game at the Garden. It was a pretty entertaining contest considering it was preseason and featured Stephon Marbury. There were a couple of highlights mostly the play of Wilson Chandler, David Lee and the Knicks paying tribute to Eddy Curry, who in Monday's practice exploded a giant blue physio-ball when he went to sit on it, by holding an on court balloon popping contest (no hands allowed) between two larger fans during a timeout break.
You would think that someone in the Knicks organization would say, "Hey, we might want to hold off on the two fatties trying to pop blue balloons for one night" but then again this is James Dolan's Knicks.

Holy Cross football knows how to celebrate


When one thinks of Holy Cross what usually comes to mind are khaki pants, Brooks Brothers golf shirts, an O.A.R. cd and a rejection letter from Lehigh (oh yea we went there).
That image may now change with the news that a Holy Cross football player stabbed a teammate celebrating a 41 - 34 win over Brown last Saturday.
According to the Boston Herald,

Police say 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman Michael McCabe (above) of Watertown, Conn., attacked wide receiver Luke Chmielinski at about 2 a.m. on Sunday in an off-campus apartment, leaving him bleeding from the back and chest.

Police say Chmielinski of Walpole told an officer he had been stabbed, but later refused to answer questions. He was treated for non life-threatening injuries.
Holy Cross coach Tom Gilmore calls the police report "inaccurate" and The Sports Point takes back their Lehigh joke.

Kobe Goes Gangsta


Following the Lakers pre-season game against the Sacremento Kings in Las Vegas, Kobe Bryant was asked about a positive performance by Lamar Odom. He responded by telling the members of the media,
It's preseason, man. Who the hell cares? Everyone knows Lamar will be there. Nobody's tripping.

Tripping? Can somebody please remind Kobe that his formative years were spent roaming the Italian country side and watching AC Milan.

Las Vegas Sun: Kobe fond of warm Vegas memories - story not nearly as exciting as the title makes it out to be.



Mr. Met is Back Pimpin'

Last May, Deadspin posted some pics of the New York Mets' most eligible bachelor, Mr. Met, enjoying the NYC night life. From the picture above it appears that the old guy is back in action and recovering well from Mets Collapse: The Sequel.

What strikes us about this picture is how incredibly natural the photo looks. Yes, one of the parties involved has a giant baseball as a head but we have taken thousands of pictures with our friends that are way more awkward looking than this shot.
