Thank you Charlotte Bobcats for hiring Larry Brown...he can now take his name out of the hat for the Grizzlies. Your franchise will now be torn apart by Brown and in the end will be left more unstable than the Mexican economy...
This is Larry Browns Career:
After college he joined the ABA in 1967 where he played for five seasons...on 5 different teams.
He then went to the following Coaching stops:
Summer 1972 - Davidson College - NCAA
1972-74 Carolina Cougars of the ABA
1974-79 Denver Nuggets
1979-81 UCLA (NCAA)
1981-83 New Jersey Nets (NBA)
1983-88 University of Kansas (NCAA)
1988-92 San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
1992-93 Los Angeles Clippers (NBA)
1993-97 Indiana Pacers (NBA)
1997-2003 Philadelphia 76ers (NBA)
2003-05 Detroit Pistons (NBA)
2005-06 New York Knicks (NBA)
2007-08 Philadelphia 76ers - Front office
2008-present Charlotte Bobcats (NBA)
Who would want him really? Why are you people hiring him? In his entire NBA coaching career he's only won ONE title... so why is it that everyone thinks Larry Brown is going to take them to the promise land? He's old, out-dated, his coaching style sucks, and he is the definition of a Nomad.
Give me a young coach - give me someone who hasn't proven to ruin franchises.
That's all I got.

Let the firings begin...
At one time I thought that Marc Iavaroni deserved another year or two...
That was until I did some morning research to discover the following:
Avery Johnson will be out in Dallas soon, Mike D'Antoni will be out in Phoenix soon. Can we have one of them?
Johnson led the Mavericks to the finals two seasons ago...with a Dirk led team. What did you expect? He took them as far as he could with a bobo-ass leader.
D'Antoni would have been wearing a ring if Nash wouldn't have been hip-checked in the conference finals last season, which caused Stoudamire to leave the bench...cut the man some slack. It's not his fault that Steve Kerr (the GM of the Suns) traded away one of the best runners in the game (Shawn Marion) for a man who is an old dog (Shaq)...in basketball years. Let's not forget that the Suns also traded Joe Johnson for Boris Diaw with D'Antoni as the coach... although the Frenchman is good - I'd still take Johnson.
So again I ask - Can we have one of them? Either one...I won't be picky.
Hey Mavericks: Nice move in getting Jason Kidd... How'd that work out for you?
Chris Paul owned J-Kidd - In unrelated news - I migh have developed a man crush on CP3.
Cavs and Wizards play tonight - please LeBron finish them off...I'm sick of hearing, reading about, and seeing DeShawn Stevenson - please DeShawn fade away...he's gone from being a no name to becoming a WWE type heel in just a couple weeks...he also has this as a tatoo.
Hawks play in Boston tonight - Celtics should win.
Another post is coming up in a hot minute.

Really Roger?!
For those of you who caught my show I went on a tangent about Roger Clemens and his sleaziness...
If you have not heard - (and where the hell have you been if you haven't) It's being reported that Roger Clemens started a "relationship" with country singer Mindy McCready...when she was 15! (he was 28). He hasn't denied anything about a relationship but has denied anything sexual that would have happened between the two - (Is anyone else picturing Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman?")
Roger Clemens is a bad person. Roger Clemens doesn't care about you. Roger Clemens drinks his own pee.
I'm a firm believer that bad things happen to bad people, and he must be the freaking anti-christ. That's what happens when you're a jerk to people Roger... Karma is a bitch.
I did some research on the whole thing and came up with this:
The two lovebirds met in 1990... coincidentally Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love" was a #1 hit that year...it was fate. Roger rocked the Cradle allright...
I could talk about this all day but need to let up out of fear that I will be sent to Capitol Hill in a suit filed by the Clemens' Party...actually - I hope he sues me, I will then find a crack team of researches and we will also dig some more dirt up on the roid head.
Dear Roger,
I'm impressed by your fastball and curveball but am now more impressed with your sleezeball.
Signed-
Drew
PS - Chris Hanson says hi
In other news...
After the draft weekend I concluded the following:
Jake Long was the smartest pick of the NFL Draft.
I can't believe Glenn Dorsey fell to #5.
Matt Ryan threw 19 interceptions his senior year in college - he's going to be a bust.
No quarterback should've been taken until at least the second round.
I feel sorry for DeAngelo Williams.
Who the hell is Joe Flacco?
I feel sorry for Aaron Rodgers.
Mel Kiper still sucks.
The Chiefs were the winners in this year's draft...although winning the draft means jack squat they still made away with the most talent.
There were 252 total picks - 178 of which belonged to the "Big 6" BCS conferences - That 70%...that's why all the top players go there and all the conferences such as CUSA get so many lame ducks...it's science.
That's the draft recap in a nutshell - say those things and you will look like a genius.
Lakers sweep Denver - that's odd...either the Lakers are that good or the Nuggets just all hate each other.

Mel Kiper Sucks
What makes ths guy an expert?
Everything about him is wrong.
It may be the fact that I'm jealous of his job but to repeat the words of former Colts GM Bill Tobin. "Who in the hell is Mel Kiper, anyway? I mean, here's a guy who criticizes everybody, whoever they take. He's got the answers to who you should take, to who you shouldn't take. He tells us about your team. Mel Kiper is a tortoise."
This weekend is the most over-hyped thing I have ever seen...the NFL Draft. It's true that I am interested in rounds one and two, other than that who cares?
Mel Kiper is wrong
Here are a few examples:
Kiper stated that USC wide receiver Mike Williams would be the best player in his 2005 draft class, despite not having played football in over a year after being ruled ineligible by the NCAA. When ESPN analyst Merril Hoge disagreed, Kiper uttered the now infamous line, "I'll see you at his Hall of Fame induction."
In 1998 Kiper said that Washington State Quarterback Ryan Leaf's "attitude" (which had rubbed teammates and coaches the wrong way in college) would be an asset in the NFL and give him a mental advantage over Peyton Manning.
Before the 2001 NFL season, Kiper predicted the New England Patriots to go 0-16 and have the 1st pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. Instead, the Patriots went 11-5 and went on to win Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis Rams.
Other News:
The NBA Playoffs are getting real interesting...all 3 games last night featured teams who were down 2-0 in their series...the underdog won every time.
DeShawn Stevenson still sucks. He's averaging like 11 points a game and keeps calling out LeBron...Did anyone ever see Tombstone when Wyatt Earp finally got pissed off enough at the villains and uttered the lines "You tell them I'm coming and I'm bringing Hell with me." That's going to happen to the Wizards. Lebron will go for at least 40 in their next game...or have a triple double.
I'm Looking forward to watching CP3 play some more tonight.
Pitchers you should bet on:
Pick the obvious one's...duh. You might not win every time but at the end of the season there's a reason why their records are 17-5.
Johan Santana, Fausto Carmona, CeCe Sabathia, John Smoltz, Rich Harden (when healthy), Brandon Webb, Felix Hernandez, Josh Beckett.
It would be good to pick the "under" each time if it's at 6 or higher...if not pick the "over".
I'm awesome.

Again...my genius prevails
For anyone who caught the radio show last night we didn't have enough time to cover the NFL draft...but when we did speak of it I informed everyone that Jake Long would be the #1 overall pick...
Well... Just a couple hours ago Jake Long signed with the Miami Dolphins making him the #1 overall pick. Sometimes I don't even understand it, there's a greater power at work here shining his light down into my brain...
What you missed on the show:
The NBA Playoffs...we talked extensively about them and I have concluded that the top teams in the NBA all have a trio of good players. That's what it takes now to win it all, a trio...a solid trio.
Would you take Shaq or Tim Duncan in their prime? Their numbers are very similar in all aspects of the game. But why is it that when you think of the greatest centers to play the game the name Tim Duncan just doesn't come to mind? Could it be his lack of personality?
Tim Duncan's lack of personality comes down to two things:
One - He's been the best at what he does for so long that he never had to actually be charming to women and is surrounded by people who laugh at his jokes all the time hoping to get some of his cash flow...
Two - His mom always told him he was fine the way he is and that he's a real catch.
Tim Duncan on season two of the pick-up artist?
We also covered the funniest sports injuries of all time and Bill Gramatica's celebration is one of the funniest things I've ever seen...you tube that junt.
Deep Thoughts:
Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier will pull out of the draft...Cal has a genius plan for them to go to the workouts and see that they are nowhere near ready... causing them to come back and dominate.
Tyreke Evans is the real deal...boy is ballin.
That's it for now sons - Next post will feature the pitchers you should double down on... this video is inspired by Andrew Watson - he recently attended a wedding in which the bride walked down the aisle to this...hilarious!!

Stern's Gone Wild
"The official City of Drew Compton NBA Tim Donahee you better make the bet that the Lakers will face the Celtics in the finals because that will make David Stern the most money NBA playoff preview..."
* David Stern is the president of the league, not to be confused with Daniel Stern, the man whom we all have to think for showing Henry Rowengardner the trick to staying healthy...hot ice. "You take the ice, and you heat it up." *
NBA Playoffs start Saturday night -
I would love to see the Lakers/Celtics meet in the finals, that would be classic. Bring back all the greats from those games in the past and have a special ceremony type of thing...I would suggest a charity type of game but Magic Johnson has AIDS, and we don't need his AIDS blood going everywhere.
Kobe Bryant will now win MVP - he deserves it. Chris Paul is one of my favorite players in the NBA, but in the end it's going to come down to the team with the better record... Let's just hope that Kobe doesn't pull a Dirk and totally bomb in the first round.
Now as for the Matchups:
Eastern Conference:
Washington vs. Cleveland - this is going to be good. King James carried his team to the Finals last season and Gilbert Arenas of the Wizards is in a contract year...(Agent Zero is all about the money) - this one will be my favorite opening round to watch...for the Eastern Conference at least.
Toronto vs. Orlando - two teams who will get knocked out in the second round, most boring one to watch. Next...
Philly vs. Detroit - Rodney Carney and Thaddeus Young to represent, that's pretty cool I guess. Getting punched in the face is more interesting than this series. Detroit will steamroll through...
Boston vs. Atlanta - The Hawks are better than you think...with that being said they still pale in comparison to the Celtics. Boston in 4, maybe 5.
Western Conference:
There is not a boring matchup at all in this conference...
Utah vs. Houston: - I like the Derron Williams/Boozer connection... T-Mac is all the Rockets have. They will lose, embarassingly in 4. Reportedly, the monkey who was on Peyton Manning's back has decided to jump on T-Mac's instead. And he's never getting off.
Dallas vs. New Orleans - I don't want Dirk to win anything. I want Chris Paul to own the Mavs...I still think Dallas will take it...In 6.
Phoenix vs. San Antonio - This will be the second best series to watch this weekend. Amare is going to go wild! Expect 35 and 15 a game...believe it son. With that being said, you can't pick against the Spurs.
Denver vs. Los Angeles - This will be the most exciting series to watch...it's quite possible this will go to seven games. Carmello, AI, Kobe all on the floor together. This will be fun. I still think the Lakers will take it though.
There you have it - my first round preview...hope you enjoyed. If you didn't your dead to me.

Memphis Reke's....
Less than two hours ago Tyreke Evans - the #4 rated player in high school announced that he will be a Memphis Tiger...for one year.
One and done - that's the name of the game these days, and right now it seems like John Calipari is winning this game like the fast kid at freeze tag.
Corniest thing I could say right now: Memphis doesn't rebuild, they re-load (while I'm mean mugging)... but it's true.
Let's say CDR comes back - they now have only lost Joey Dorsey and Derrick Rose. Granted Derrick Rose is a special talent, but whose to say Tyreke Evans isn't special? Apparently Cal thinks he is...and I have faith in Cal as my coach.
*I don't count Andre Allen as a loss, he can't shoot and has dwarf arms*
Combine the current roster with or without CDR, add the recruits of Evans, Angel Garcia, and Matt Simpkins, possibly Devin Ebanks - holy crap. That's the #1 class right there son. These are the good ole days - and that's the truth. Whether you like Memphis, hate Memphis, like Cal, hate Cal - you cannot deny that Memphis has had a special run and it's only getting sweeter right now.
That's all I have to say about that. This is good for the city...it Smells of corruption downtown already...so let's make downtown Reke! (lame I know)
In other brief news:
If you missed it, the Grizzlies lost to the Timberwolves...of course you missed it. The big story from that game was that three people were injured after some railing gave way and collapsed - I know I'm terrible for finding this funny but this is why:
How is it that there are so many fans seeking autographs from two of the worst teams in the NBA that the rail collapses? Better get that Jason Collins autograph before he goes free agency...
If anyone missed South Park from last week please go back and watch it...It focuses on the cheating efforts of the New England Patriots - comedy gold.
That's it until Friday.

Mike Fratello wears a toupee
Thanks again for catching the show last night for all twelve of you who listened...it's steadily increasing though, and we're all about numbers and retention!
Here's a brief re-cap:
Memphis Tiger's basketball...good run. (That's all I have to say about that).
Trevor Imelman - congratulations...although it feels like everyone in the world is disappointed that Tiger Woods didn't win. Now everyone in town is going to get golf fever for the next month... I used to work at a driving range and there were four types of people who would show up after a major:
1. The guy with the brand new set of clubs - Nice new Nike Set, too bad you still suck.
2. The guy with the Golf Magazine - He would usually have it laying down beside him as he practiced rediculous tips from the latest issue.
3. The guy with the video camera - He would record his mechanics, go home and watch the tape, and then come back to the range with a "solution."
4. The father and son - The kid was usually age 10 or under and the dad who already sucked at golf would try to teach his kid how to be good at golf, with hopes of riding that kids coat tails...it never worked. Yeah, thanks dad for teaching me how to play with a 25 handicap.
These people to this day still suck. They would then look for an excuse other than the fact that their terrible - "Your range balls are bad." - What did you expect titleist?
Losers.
I vented about the Olympic torch...again - see last post. I hate hippies.
We gave a women's sports report to the sounds of Melissa Etheridge once again...I love lesbians.
Threw the countdown clock at you, and gave you a top ten list... the following hilarious story is the inspiration for the top 10 list:
I attended a wedding a couple weeks ago that was an absolute blast. Among the people there were Mike Fratello (the former coach of the Grizz) and his girlfriend, "Karen", who is very attractive. So after the ceremony I was talking with a couple friends at the reception...we were standing around, drinking beer and talking about guy stuff when Pau Gasol's girlfriend came over to say hi to us. This is a very attractive girl that we all know and she was one of the many attractive bridesmaids in this wedding...so when she walks away I said to my friends "Do you think she's with Pau because she finds him attractive?"...this was followed by laughter. Shortly after, one of my friends added - "Yeah, just like how "Karen" is dating Mike Fratello because he's a good guy..."
Mike Fratello was literally two feet in front of us when this was said - all we did was stand there frozen...and then of course chugged our beers. Thus inspired the top 10 ugliest people in sports who have a spouse only because they play sports...
The #1 choice - Randy Johnson. Not only did some lady marry him but this same lady had to sleep with him to give him 3 kids!
Give me about one or two more weeks and you will start getting genius baseball picks...believe it son.

So after the ceremony I was talking with a couple friends at the reception...we were standing around, drinking beer and talking about guy stuff when Pau Gasol's girlfriend came over to say hi to us. This is a very attractive girl that we all know and she was one of the many attractive bridesmaids in this wedding...so when she walks away I said to my friends "Do you think she's with Pau because she finds him attractive?"...this was followed by laughter. Shortly after, one of my friends added - "Yeah, just like how "Karen" is dating Mike Fratello because he's a good guy..."
Mike Fratello was literally two feet in front of us when this was said - all we did was stand there frozen...and then of course chugged our beers. Thus inspired the top 10 ugliest people in sports who have a spouse only because they play sports...
The #1 choice - Randy Johnson. Not only did some lady marry him but this same lady had to sleep with him to give him 3 kids!
Give me about one or two more weeks and you will start getting genius baseball picks...believe it son.

Let's start a riot in Chinatown...
I have finally taken myself away from the deep slumber of depression I have been swimming in since my Tigers phenominally blew it on the biggest stage of college basketball...
Unfortunately, I still don't want to talk about it...but will be willing on Monday night at 8pm on 730ESPN - (this is what we call a teaser in the business)...what business? Who am I kidding? Some average schmo talking big time - I know you CODC'ans are smarter than that.
As for everything else non-championship game yet still Tiger related -
I will shoot Derrick Rose if he does not go pro. You brought national attention to the program on a higher level, now go get your millions son.
CDR - stay another year, you'll be a 1st rounder regardless what you decide to do and you will never be a top 10 pick.
I hope the Tigers sign everyone still looking at them - they'll at least make it back to the Sweet16.
In other sports -
There's been a lot of bone-headed stuff to report that I'm saving for my show, the good news is there are less arrests in college football since the last report.
What's the deal with the Olympic torch? So you hippies want to protest against China for the Tibetan bull crap? Get a life, protest something of meaning, like Darfur... sike!! That's lame too - why don't you start worrying about yourself first - Rodney Dangerfield said it best when he said "I try to watch out for number 1, and try not to step in number 2"... Next time you hippies protest against China why don't you NOT show up in your clothes, shoes and hemp backpacks which are all made in China. You people make me sick.
I'm going to start picking baseball games in a couple weeks - you should get ready for that, I'm sort of genius...only shorter.

Well Put...
No need to even talk up tonight's game...I couldn't have put it better myself than what Chris Vernon had to write...

Final Four Preview...
First - Let me attach the video of the college Quiddich Team I spoke of on my show last Monday...
Nerd Alert!
Now, onto the important stuff...the Final Four...
When I hear the word "Four" I think of many different things:
The Four Horseman - (thank you Ric for a wonderful career).
Connect Four - Most underrated board game of all time.
The Fab Four...for those of you music retards out there this would be the Beatles.
Drinkin' forties on the corner when I'm not puring one out for the homies...
And last but most certainly not least, the Fantastic Four.
So the big question came down to which one of these awe-inspiring fours do I want to bestow the honor of representing my preview on the City of Drew Compton?
Look at Jessica Alba in those pants, she wins. This will be known as the "I wish I was Jessica Alba's baby's daddy Fantastic Four Final Four preview"... (cue the music)
Game one: Memphis vs. UCLA
How could I pick against the Tigers now? I haven’t all tournament long and I don't need to now. 30-36 behind the free throw line is rediculous, let’s hope they haven’t shot the good ones out of their system...Hell, even Andre Allen went 2 for 2 behind the line... Like I've said before Kevin Love has had a great tournament but anybody can have a great tournament against those bo-bo teams...Collison and Shipp are ones who you need to look out for. They, like Texas are two great guards, only this time they are taller than Gary Coleman. How would you defend Kevin Love? I think Robert Dozier will get him out on the perimeter... If Love drive's in, then Dorsey will come in from the weak side for some power blocks. Oddly, UCLA doesn't really play zone, I don't think this means they'll try to run with the Tigers (they don't have a bench), but I just don't see UCLA winning.
Tigers by 5.
Game two: Kansas vs. UNC
Carolina should blow them away, I just don't see a good game here and everyone in the world has already picked UNC to go all the way...As for Kansas - Sasha Khan, not to be confused with Shaka Kahn is my least favorite player left in the tourney...followed closely by Tyler Hansborough, I still can’t get that image out of my head of Tyler highstepping it down the basketball court a couple weeks ago...I don’t know why though I just don’t like Khan.
If the Tigers do in fact win and end up playing UNC than there will be mroe talent on the floor than last night's Grizzlies game.
Speaking of the Grizz, they won. I still don't care right now - I'm only worried about the Tigers.
Now, to Andre Allen.
Who cares? He's not that good anyways. Is anybody that upset Willie Kemp will now get more playing time? I'm not. Willie isn't short and can also shoot...And don't any of you give me this "Andre's good at defense" crap. They're all good at defense, that's why they are one of the best defensive teams in the country. So Andre, I'm sorry you couldn't go but you're the idiot.
That's going to do it for me...for now.
Holla back youngins.

As Promised...
I can never forget about all you loyal City of DC'ans (is that right?) -
Anyways -
As I promised on the show last evening here is a picture of the one and only Becky "Icebox" O'shea... she got hot. For those of you unfamiliar with the Icebox may god have mercy on your soul.
Thanks again for all who tuned into the show last night, we had a lot of interesting things happen...some things I said I may go to hell for now...so let me cleanse my soul and apologize to the following people: Melissa Etheredge fans and dead people.
I feel much better now.
For anyone who missed the show this is what you were deprived of:
(We obviously covered the Final Four games...that will be in another post soon to come.)
Good call hippies for making Earth Hour on the Saturday of the Elite 8. How’d that work out for you? For those of you unfamiliar with Earth Hour it comes once a year when everyone is supposed to shut their lights off and sit in the dark for one hour...it makes you environmentally sensitive.
Congrats to D-Rose for being selected the regional MVP and for getting selected as a 3rd team All-American...Congratulations to CDR for being selected as a 1st team All-American...
Have you ever heard the saying that everything comes in 3’s?
3rd straight elite 8, 3rd trip to the Final Four, 3rd time we will play UCLA in the tournament, and that was the 3rd time they have gone through Houston...let’s hope that this 3rd time is the charm.
Jeanne-Claudde Van LeFleur stopped by to say hello Canadian style.
Brandon Jennings has become my new favorite college basketball player... If you do not know who he is please see the last post made (down below) – he therefore had become the inspiration of this weeks top 10 list – top 10 fades and flat-tops of all time –
10. Only because he was a white dude playing in the NBA who had a flat top and fade he deserves to be on the list former Seattle Sonic – Detlef Schrempf
9. The Entire Michigan Fab 5 – all had fades and Webber topped it off with the nice flat-top
8. The old Duke baller and perennial injury Grant Hill – rocked it on the Laettner team.
7. Will Smith – I know this is cheating because he was never a professional athlete, but he did lead Bel-Air Prep to second place in the city championship
6. Ivan Drago – the boxer who took on Rocky in his 4th big fight... it resembles that of Detlef Schrempf’s, just a little taller.
5. For bringing it back we had to put it on the list – Brandon Jennings his fade was awesome
4. Anfernee Hardaway… great haircut, it especially was fadelicious during the Dream Team days
3. Patrick Ewing… classic – was bigger than New York
2. Scottie Pippen… something had to make you stand out when you’re playing alongside Jordan… and then Rodman stole his thunder
1. Kid from the group Kid and Play… yes I realize that he also never played professional sports but he did kick a football over fifty yards in the movie “Class Act”, a timeless movie.
Herb Peterson – the inventor of the egg mc-muffin died...whether he was toasted or simply buried remains to be seen.
And last but not least, we made sure to be emotionally sensitive to women's needs and gave an update on the women's basketball tournament...to the sounds of Melissa Etheridge playing in the background.
Next post will undoubtedly be the "I wish I could be Jessica Alba's baby's daddy Fantastic 4 Final 4" preview...
Don't forget to spay and neuter your pets.
