Just wanted to start this off by saying that I really hope the Hornets win the NBA championship. LeBron is a whiny bitch who complains about everything, he is amazingly talented, but man he's a bitch. The Celtics are fucking annoying as hell and to be honest I hate everything Boston anyway, so I need the Cavaliers to win that series. In the West, the Spurs are the most boring, obnoxious team

Marvin Williams just rocked Rajon Rondo. In mid-flight, Rondo got clotheslined. It looked like a mid-air impact between an NFL safety and a WR. Marvin did get a pretty solid piece of the ball, but then got an even bigger piece of Rondo, slamming him into the ground. Stupid play but the Hawks have to be incredibly frustrated. They can't hit the back side of a barn. They had 18 points with

Well after the first quarter, the 76ers were on pace to score 48 points. With 1:20 left in the 2nd quarter, they now have 30 points. NOW ON PACE FOR 60 POINTS!!!!!!!11 Samuel Dalembert's haircut is ridiculous. There aren't any pics online yet, but I'll try to post one later on.

I think that outside of the ESPN studio, Todd McShay and Mel Kiper actually do like each other. I think its all a show that ESPN has put on to raise viewership. It definitely works too, because people are always talking about it (need proof, look at NFL Draft Analysis! Part Two). However, I do think that the two of them know what they are talking about. Both Kiper and McShay have done an

The team by team draft analysis has proven to be a more weighty task than anticipated. It's finals, give us a break. Anyhow, in the past few days, numerous, important stories have developed; stories that cannot be ignored.The Blogosphere is a twitter due to last night's Costas Now.

If you didn't catch the Manchester United vs Barcelona today, you missed an awesome game. There were a lot of near misses by both teams and until about the last 5 minutes where Milito squandered every offensive opportunity, you had a feeling that Barcelona had a great chance going to tie it and get to the Champions League Finals. It's the first time that two English clubs will be playing in the

I think Mel Kipah Joonyah and Todd "Nemesis" McShay should battle in a no holds barred cage fight. They hate each other and Kiper obviously cannot handle another draft savant on his block. Kiper has all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for frustration of not predicting the draft correctly and disgust for McShay

The NFL Draft, one of my favorite sporting events, went down this weekend. I don't care if it is just an over-hyped reading of names, I love it. After the draft, everyone and their mother decides to grade the draft performance of all of the teams, despite the fact that none of the players have played a single NFL down. They use letter grades, stars, thumbs, and all sorts of nonsensical other

Shenanigans might actually have a point there. And no I'm not talking about Joba Chamberlain starting. I'm talking about the fact that, Hank Steinbrenner, George Steinbrenner and all the other Steinbrenner's need to shut the fuck up. Seriously Hank, all you do is undermine Joe #2 and that is never a good thing for your team. Challenging your coaches decisions, which Hank just did with his

My thoughts on Hank Steinbrenner are well documented, but this morning the news that he opened up his big fat mouth again broke, and I have to say I agree with him. Hank said that Joba Chamberlain, the best of the Yankees big three young pitchers, should be starting. While I dislike the fact that Hank is speaking out this early in the season (or ever) and undermining Joe Girardi's authority, he

About Reggie Bush, he was recently quoted in the New Orleans Times-Picayune saying, "I've got to come out and have an equal or better year. I've got to get the crowd chanting M-V-P.

As JT mentioned earlier, the Masters happened this weekend. I watched a significant chunk of it. I would have watched more, but ESPN and CBS decided that showing Little House on the Prairie and some combination of Poker and Rodeo would be a wiser decision than showing the early parts of the Masters. Anyhow, I have thoughts:Trevor Immelman earned his victory. Golf, especially on a course like

It's a pretty lazy Sunday here in Chapel Hill...what better to do than procrastinate and watch the Masters in HD.Brandt Snedeker is doing his best Brett Favre impression. He's just out there having fun. He's also -9 and has a good chance to get his green jacket. He sank a nasty putt earlier this round.

Bill Walsh used to say, "You coach offense, but you draft defense."He was exactly right.Walsh was an innovator on the offensive side of the ball, introducing the West Coast offense, scripting plays to start a game (known as the "first 15"), but he was also one of the first coaches to find, scout, and draft his own players.Incredibly, he won his first Super Bowl (Super Bowl XVI) with the 49ers

Well, I am glad to see that Roy is still enjoying his time in Texas.Roy Williams is a great recruiter. He is not a great coach. He's about as soft as Josh McRoberts is. Against Kansas, Roy Williams waited until the score was 38-12 before calling a timeout. That's a 26 point deficit. No team has ever come back from 26 points in the Final Four.

That game was fantastic. I'd congratulate Kansas, but I'm sure Roy already has congratulated them plenty. Memphis had the game in hand, but Kansas stormed back. Chalmers was crazy clutch, not just on that 3, but on all of his free throws down the stretch. Additionally, Calipari needs to have his players foul Chalmers before he can take that shot at the end. 2 Free Throws cannot beat you when you

Crazy shot by Chalmers to force OT - very Durantula (Kevin Durant) like. Straight cash homie. I had flashbacks to the Kansas vs Davidson game, with the ultra slow progression up court. Collins almost turned it over, but the ball luckily bounced to Super Mario who sank the game tying 3.

I was first exposed to Billy "Dumbass Prick" Packer two years ago during a UNC game he was calling for Raycom, the local CBS affiliate here in the Chapel Hill area.

Some old- fashioned, bullet form analysis... Stephen Curry, seen above, is the Truth. Despite only shooting 5 for 15 from deep in the game, he carried Davidson on his shoulders over Georgetown. I was at this game, and from the crowd's perspective, it seemed as though every time he touched the ball, especially in the last 10 minutes, that the ball was destined to find the bottom of the net.

Let's call a spade a spade shall we? The West region is far and away the weakest region of them all. Since some of the games are going on as I type, I'll get right into it.Xavier, who is currently down in the first half to Georgia, will win this game. Georgia is not actually good. Xavier, while seeded too high as a 3 seed, is still a superior team to the Bulldogs. Drew Lavender and Stanley

The Houston Rockets are the unanimous #1 team in the NBA Power Rankings. And rightfully so I suppose. They currently have the second longest winning streak in NBA history with 22 wins, only behind the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakes who racked up 33 straight victories. If they win out, they could have a record 38 game winning streak and cement their pace in history. What is most remarkable, is that

Al Davis single handedly has turned the Oakland Raiders into the laughing stock of the nfl, and to be honest, the laughing stock of sports.

I am not a packers fan, and to be honest I couldn't care less about Green Bay, however with the retirement of Brett Favre the entire nfl lost a great player.

At age 38 this past season Favre was still able to throw for 4,155 yards, putting him 4th overall in the nfl. AT

I understand that he was playing the Knicks, but he was 42% of the Cavaliers offense tonight.

Some of you may not have realized this, but JT is a huge Packers fan. Shocking I know. Because of this, he sometimes gets a tad carried away in his assessment of the Pack, specifically the men who occupy their Quarterback position.

Pretty much everyone has decided that Kobe is the better player. Both are in a league of their own, but LeBron is better. In Bryant's 5th year, he shot 46.4% from the field and 30.5% from 3 point range. He shot 85.3% from the free throw line, which is the second highest average in his career. He also had 1.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, 5 assists, and 28.5 ppg. Experts would agree that Kobe is the better

It seems like such a great idea. Signing other teams starters to massive contracts seems like it will instantly fix the wholes on your roster. They always seem to an instafix, and yet for some reason it doesn't pan out. The players these teams bring in never truly succeed like they did in the past and the team always ends up in some kind of financial trouble.Example A. The Washington Redskins.

Since last week, plenty has transpired in the sporting world. The NFL Free Agency period has been particularly active. Some thoughts:Move over Bruce, There is a new Boss in JerseySo Dewayne Robertson is officially a bust. He got traded for a 4th and a 5th, when the going rate for D- Tackles, as established last week, was a 3rd and a 5th. Although if he does not renegotiate his contract, this

According to PFT, "There are highly unsubstantiated Internet rumors of a trade that would send Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor to the Packers for a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick." Taylor is averaging 12.17 sacks over the past 3 years. Now, although he is 33 years old, he is still in great physical shape and I would say he has at least 4 productive years in the NFL left in him.

What a fatso!The Jets have evidently traded 3rd and 5th round draft picks to the Panthers for Kris Jenkins. I approve of this deal. Here are the reasons:In general, I am okay with trading mid- and late round picks for proven NFL commodities. It does upset me, because it reminds me that the Patriots were able to steal Randy Moss for a 4th rounder last year. By comparison to that heist, no other

Many people have a real problem with fan bigamy, meaning being a fan of two teams at once. Bill Simmons, for example, is a staunch opponent of the practice. I feel that situationally, fan bigamy is acceptable. Growing up in New York, I was raised a fan of the Yankees, Knicks, and Rangers. The Mets, Nets, and Islanders/ Devils never entered my thoughts. While i still keep up with these teams,

So the Washington Redskins have once again released a high profile off-season acquisition. Yesterday, the Redskins dropped disgruntled wr Brandon Lloyd, who they had traded for during the off-season 2 years ago. At the time, Lloyd was considered to have great potential, a possible wr on the rise. He had just come off a season in which he had 48 rec for 733 yards... a 15.3 ypc and had 5 tds. He

The Jacksonville Jaguars seemed to have traded for a 6'1 203 pound wr, who runs the 40 in 4.32 seconds, and who has a 37 inch vertical.

There is, quite obviously, a great deal of animosity towards Mr. Barry Lamar Bonds. In fact, this near-universal (San Francisco excepted) hatred of Barry is most likely the reason that, despite the fact he can still hit better than most of the players in the Major Leagues, no American League has taken a chance on him at DH yet this off season. He would probably hit 86 Home runs if he played DH

The Pats have recently offered a contract to recently released MLB Zach Thomas, formally of the Miami Dolphins. Thomas is currently 34, which only ties him for the 2nd oldest linebacker on the team.
