This is PC basketball

7:02	Charlotte – Full timeout (Timeout #1)
7:04	Providence – Marshon Brooks misses a layup
7:29	Charlotte – Charlie Coley dunks the ball
7:34	Providence – Jonathan Kale misses a layup
7:38	Providence – Weyinmi Efejuku misses a layup

This was taken from a recent game against Charlotte (which they won by the way). Ridiculous.

Devin Harris is Cool

Devin Harris.  Cool guy.  Didn’t care when that english dude hustled him (Harris was playing half speed, anybody can pull that move on a guy playing half speed.  It’s kinda like pulling it on wojo full speed).

Now this:

I like players who aren’t always in a ridiculous intensity haze for every game.  It’s kinda like  Kenyan Martin only the exact opposite.

(Does a tribute post mean we can never post again? Because this clearly shouldn’t knock off the previous post, but somebody’s gotta do it– so why not do it with a completely pointless post?!!!)

Remembering 21

It’s been one year since Sean Taylor died from the injuries he sustained in the shooting in his Miami home. On this thanksgiving, I want to reflect on the career of my favorite player. (I know I’m a little late – let’s just say I’m on West Coast time).

This is crazy

Hey Bill Self, remember when you won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP because the other team forgot to foul you when you were down three points?  Cmon serously?

There are no words

A recent Plaschke submission…

Interestingly PLaschke makes some good points, like how paying a lot for one guy sometimes isn’t a great move, maybe spreading the money around for pitching and other things helps the team more. But then he says:

If Manny Ramirez couldn’t carry this current team to that final lap during a postseason in which he hit .520, what makes you think he could ever do it?

What the fuck?

There are no words.

FUTURE EDIT: PLaschke agrees with something socal has been saying for like a month (often incoherently, in a very high pitched voice).  I’m not sure if he’s right, but I know I wouldn’t feel comfortable agreeing with him.

ESPN stands for “Everyone Stop Perusing Now”

I know, terrible mnemonic or whatever.  Basically, I’m supposed to be reading something else right now (huzzah racist titles!!), but I can’t.  So naturally I go looking through some blogs to waste my time.  I then see that ESPN has some blogs.  I think, “these are probably terrible, but ill give it a shot.  Hey look Jay Bilas!  He went to Duke; he knows his shit.  Maybe I’ll read that.”   And then I click on it and find out I have to pay ESPN to be an Insider. Because really ESPN, if there’s anything that has no competition, it’s INTERNET FUCKING BLOGGING. I totally want to pay to see what some guys think about stuff when I could find out what roughly 2.6 billion people think about the same stuff in under 6 seconds (numbers extremely accurate). Altho, a few of the blogs are free.  For example you can find out what ex “Friends” actor Matthew Berry thinks about fantasy sports.

In conclusion, nothing.

“Finally, the most anticipated moment in racing”

Since it turns out that my fellow bloggers don’t know much about 1998 Daytona 500 (possibly my favorite moment in sports), here’s the final few laps. Basically, Earnhardt already had his 7 championships and had won nearly everything both in NASCAR and at Daytona except the Daytona 500 itself. Despite being the favorite several times in his career, something always seem to go wrong – most famously in 1990 a blown tire on the final lap while leading. “20 years of trying, 20 years of frustration.”

The most famous part of the whole thing is what happens as Earnhardt is driving to victory lane: “Every man on every crew has come out to the edge of pit lane to congratulate the man who has dominated everything there is to win in this sport except this race, ’til today.”

Treasure Trove

Now that good ol’ firejoe is gone I may just read this guy’s posts and have a KT monologue run in my head. Im gonna try to write down some thoughts, not as nearly good as KT, but im bored and just shot like 4-25 (worst game of my life, really), so here’s to you Kallas dude, you cheer me up with your craziness. And yeah this could be pretty long [EDIT AFTER ONE READOVER: what I wrote is kind of gibberish, still correct, but gibberish), I need a lot of cheering up.

IT’s Called VALUABLE DAMNIT!!

Pro Bowl Voting Update

Last year, Cowboys fans proved the Pro Bowl is a joke by voting in 13 players – many of whom suck. See Andre Gurode, famous for consistently snapping the ball over Romo’s head. How about Flozell Adams, always a league leader in penalties. Marion Barber, a guy who neither started for his own team nor even surpassed 1,000 yards. You can never forget Roy “burnt like tinfoil in a microwave” Williams, who’s terrible play speaks for itself.

However, that debacle didn’t spark any change to the Pro Bowl selection process. Naturally, the Redskins and their fans weren’t going to allow the Cowboys to be overrepresented again, so they took advantage of the situation with the Vote the Redskins Ticket promotion. As voting currently stands, 20 Redskins (!!!!!) would be voted into the Pro Bowl this year, with ‘Skins players being the leading vote-getters at 16 of the 19 positions. The other positions are QB where Campbell is 3rd, DE where Andre Carter is 2nd, and OLB where Jason Taylor, Marcus Washington, and Rocky McIntosh are 2nd-4th. To add to the hilarity of the situation, many of the players have only played a portion of the season: Stephon Heyer is the backup behind Jansen at RT, Ryan Plackemeier was picked up as a free-agent punter around week 6, and Jason Taylor and Shawn Springs both have missed the majority of the season due to injuries.

Memo to the NFL: Never underestimate Redskins fans, especially when the Cowboys are involved. Even though it’s safe to say the other voters will now give the Redskins the shaft to weed out some players selected, can we please change the fan vote? I’d rather see the best players play, and rather not see a bunch or Redskins get injured.

3 of the 4 Redskins selected to last year's Pro Bowl.

Pedrioahhh

He won the MVP award. Prob didn’t deserve it, but that’s not the most important thing here. Look at this. Everybody laugh at the guy who voted for K-rod first!! HAHAHA o man, that is terrible. Not even a top 3 closer. Ridiculous.
