Info Please

Apparently the Tiger basketball team is still recruiting two players from the 08' class... Rashanti Harris and Emanuel Negedu - If anyone's seen either one of them play please shoot me a comment and let me know how good they are...

Also - any show/blog suggestions are greatly appreciated...I want all things media related to get as good as possible...

Thanks anonymous posters for the inspiration...sincerely.

I've come to realize...

- Memorial Day celebrations are best done on Sunday in order to sleep off the Monday hangover...

- Lakers/Celtics finals is as eminent as before...the NBA will make the most money that way.


Thanks - will post tomorrow

Pau checked for Blood...

Did anyone else see it last night? In the middle of the fourth quarter as Gasol was making another layup look like the most exhausting shot in the history of basketball he predictably looked at the referee and complained about a foul... a few moments later I spotted him running down the court doing the blood check...again.

Dear Pau -

You have to get full on decked in the face in order for blood to start squirting out. As a Memphian I watched you play at least 100 games live and not one time did I ever see you bleed. You will not EVER bleed.

Sincerely yours -

Another Memphis fan who is glad to see you go.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While we're on the subject of finally ridding our town of Pau - why is it that the national media likes to say things like "Memphis didn't realize what they had down there." Yes we did, that's why a whole team was built around him and that's why a whole organization is crumbling. We were tricked! You jerks didn't realize what was down here because you've never watched the Grizzlies play.

Memo to those same jerks - There's a player named Rudy Gay "down here" who is also really good. You should watch him sometime.

I wonder how long it will take before the people of Los Angeles will realize how big of a weiner he is...it took Memphis about five years. But if you take into account the fact that Memphis is slower than the rest of the country than you have to shave three years off that figure. So here now is my big prediction - Los Angeles will start booing Pau around playoff time next season. You heard it here first folks!

And to those of you new to my blog, This is all you need to know about Pau Gasol...

Is anybody surprised really?

The prodigal son returns home...to Chicago.

So let me get this straight - it was stated last night during the broadcast of the Draft Lottery that there was 1000 different combinations that this process could give you...and the Bulls had a 1.7% chance of getting the #1 pick. That's rediculous. Is it even fair? It's better than any other professional draft but c'mon, really? One point seven?!

The last ten lottery winners have stacked up like this: (The number after their name is their chance in percentage of getting the coveted #1 spot)

2008 - Bulls - 1.7%

2007 - Blazers - 5.5%

2006 - Raptors - 8.8%

2005 - Bucks - 6.3%

2004 - Orlando - 25%

2003 - Cleveland - 22%

2002 - Houston - 8.9%

2001 - Washington - 15.7%

2000 - Nets - 4.4% - Worst draft class ever

1999 - Chicago - 15.7%

Someone gets screwed more times than not...it's not just the Grizzlies who get screwed.

The Bulls will draft Derrick Rose, don't even question it. What will make the Bulls the most money? Derrick Rose.

The Grizz still could get a decent player at #5, OJ Mayo could still be there, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love...those guys would all help. I'm just glad they're in a draft position that would make Brook Lopez get off the board before the Grizz get to him.

Life could always be worse I guess...you could be dead.

Now - to the Patriots...

Everyone knows they cheat. But now they have cheated many NFL Teams out of a lot of money by making teams think the assistant coaches under Belichick are awesome offensive and defensive geniuses. Through cheating, they have thus prevailed in life. The following are head coaches in the NFL who are Bill's Boys:

Romeo Crennel - 20-28 record in three seasons, astounding. You would think the Browns defense would've been alot better with this guy as their coach right? I guess it's a lot different when you can't film the other teams signals.

Eric Mangini - 14-18 in two seasons with the Jets...stellar. Almost to a .500 record - Amazingly another defensive coach for the Patriots.

Charlie Weiss - 22-15 in three seasons with Notre Dame..not bad. Until you look deeper into it and realize that two of those seasons were with players he did not even recruit...and the 3rd season...he went 3-9. Groundbreaking performance.

All three of these guys are wasting away millions from organizations who have now been cheated by Belichick. It's a shame. Why couldn't I have been in the right place at the right time and been in the room when the videotaping idea started? I hate my life.

The annual screwing continues...

Another miserable season starts tonight!!! That's right, and don't question it...

The NBA Draft Lottery - where Grizzly fans get pissed off happens.

I don't even know what to expect honestly...Last year it was all about Durant and Oden; this year it's all about Rose and Beasley.

I must admit though, I think I have taken Rose's talent for granted because I got to see him play so many times...this year's lottery just doesn't have the same feel to it as last year's (the anxiousness)...maybe it's because I was so angry last year that I am already expecting the worst to happen (as evidence in my post title), or maybe it's the fact that our drafting problems will continue...I just don't know what to think.

This WOULD be the year to get the number one pick, and this WOULD also be the year we take Michael Beasley or Brook Lopez with that #1 pick...

I could also see the Grizz trade away the #1 pick for their favorite player...flexibility.

Either way I'm just bitter. Bitter towards Heisley, bitter towards the NBA Lottery (How come we don't get to see the ping pong balls drop live?), and bitter towards the NBA as a whole for not letting Tim Donahee be the referee for the Spurs/Hornets game last night...he would've totally bet on CP3.

Keep your fingers crossed Memphis...the city could use a little boost professionally.


Other than that

I'm in a much better mood today than I was last Friday...but do you honestly blame me? I got flat out rediculous...

After attending BBQ Fest I have come to realize that the best part about Memphis in May is BBQ Fest. That's something you would've never heard me say ten years ago, so I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old. That and the fact that I actually want to attend the Sunset Symphony.

Big Brown did it again.

Sucks that LeBron was defeated, however, I want the team in the Eastern Conference Finals that has the best chance of defeating the Pistons so I can avoid the most boring Championship series ever... I will say this though - If Rajon Rondo gets more rebounds than anyone on the Cavs team, they deserve to lose.

There was a horse named Golden Shower in 1955.

Congratulations to Christian Laettner for being elected to the Polish Hall of Fame...there will be a party in his honor that will be attended by "The Polish Power" Ivan Putski and Sebastian Janikowski - The over/under for Janikowski right now is three Brats and seventeen beers.

That's all I got - Next post will be about Spygate...I figured that I should write about it now since no one really knows about it yet.

Worst Wrestling Match Ever

Special thanks to Andrew Watson for finding this...

Your Friday Fix...

Thought I'd go ahead and update you now considering I'm going to be swimming in booze and BBQ all weekend, and to be honest with all seven of you who have actually read this...the last thing on my mind is blogging. So this post is going to flat out suck. I'm hungover, I'm in a terrible mood because I had to wake up at 0630 for work, and I'm going to now inform you all on everything I hate in the world:

Hippies - still hasn't changed, I now include PETA as a subcategory in hippies. For example - Exhibit one - hippies, Exhibit 1-A - PETA.

Robert Horry - will the Hornets please put in the worst player on their team to Cobra-Kai Robert Horry in the face? They'd only get a technical foul, 2 free throws, and an ejection. (The ejection is irrelevant considering the guy never played to begin with)

People who live in San Francisco - you jerks think your so modern because you give Wal-Mart the finger everytime you drive by it in your Hybrid Car that you just filled up with vegetable oil while heading towards an anti-war protest.

People who own BBQ tents during BBQ Fest but then get angry when you want to check out their tent... this is an annual problem...(not for me because I'm attractive.) But, why would you pay for a spot in Tom Lee Park and then refuse to let anyone in? Isn't the point of BBQ Fest to drink first and then cook BBQ...eventually? Why would you not want everyone to see how awesome you are? their should be standards set forth by the Adams College fraternity council that mandates the following form to be filled out when registering your team:
1. Will there be enough alcohol for all guests?
2. Will there be attractive people stopping by your tent to drink aforementioned alcohol?
3. Are you going to cook something? Anything?
4. Will you be cordial to all parties interested in entering your tent?
5. In the event that you have a stripper pole will you make sure that everyone stays at least six feet away from the dancer?

If you answered yes to all questions you may now complete your registration.

Have a bless-ed day.

Yup I'm back stuntin, yup I'm back frontin...

It's been a while - I've missed you all...This is what I've done since my last post:

- Hurricane Katrina'd the strip club
- Drank fine imported beer
- Said something to someone, and then responded with "Psych!"
- Went to Dish where I still can't get the gay stink off me. (For the record, I was there with a girl I'm dating, a friend, and his fiance...who is a girl.)
- Went to music fest where I witnessed the following: A fight, terrible tattoos, Fergie (hot bod), and a drunk chick fall out of the port-o-potty with her pants to her ankles (that one was awesome)

In the Sports World the following things have happened that I find relevant:

OJ Mayo is getting paid sons! Did anyone have any doubt about it? Honestly? One of the top high school basketball players went to a college (USC) that is known for having money and he didn't even have them on his list of "schools of interest"... I don't really blame him though. You offer me 200 thousand and I'm taking it everytime. You can't blame the kid, but you can blame the coach.

Greg Maddux got major league win #350... It's impressive, I guess. Ten years ago I would've been amazed. I honestly feel like I have become numb to great baseball feats because every one of them is a part of the "Steroid Era"...sucks for Maddux - he would've had a parade ten years ago, now he doesn't even get a pants party.

NBA Playoffs still going strong, I hope Chris Paul keeps owning the Spurs. I would like to see the Paul/Kobe showdown...this would determine the man more deserving of the MVP Award.

Also in the NBA -
Mike D'Antoni signed up with the Knicks to be their head coach...dumbest move ever. Good luck Mike getting Eddy "Doughboy" Curry and Zach Randolph running the Phoenix offense...not dumbest move ever, worst career move ever!

Mavs hired Rick Carlisle as their coach...did everyone forget? Rick Carlisle was booted out of Indiana for not getting along with management. Does anyone else picture Carlisle and Mavs owner "Meddling" Mark Cuban getting into a fist fight?

For everyone who missed the show...

- We talked about sports, kinda.
- We made fun of Jeremy (co-host) for being able to name all the WNBA Teams. (gay)
- Sarah Jessica Parker still has a horse face...all the time. (so over-rated)
- The funniest sports player name of all time is Rusty Kuntz, member of the 1984 Detroit Tigers World Series team.
- Mariah Carey has jungle fever...officially.
- And Finally, NASCAR fans love to yell "Free Bird" during any concert you've ever been to.

That's it for now - I have a video that will be posted separately in a couple days that you must see, the anticipation is killing you slowly already... Holla!

R.I.P. Eight Belles

Thanks for catching the show last night...it was a special Cinco de Mayo edition sponsored in part by Ricky Martin, J-Lo, Los Lonely Boys, The Mexican Economy, Burritos, Churros, El Porton, Juan Carlos Navarro, Enrico Palazzo (look him up), and Aldo Montoya before he assumed the wrestling name Justin Credible (what the hell is wrong with me? Who remembers that stuff really?)

Now...In the world of Sports -

I'm not going to beat a dead horse and make the obvious jokes that one would come up with when a horse is put to rest - I'm better than that...I feel sorry for Eight Belles and her owners, but sometimes things like that just happen. But I do hate hippies and you rediculous tree-huggers at PETA need to just let this one go...

PETA wants the rider to be suspended - yeah, like it was his fault. If I'm leading a race and I have any indication that the horse I'm on is about to break its ankles, I'm pulling out (insert sex joke here). Honestly, he didn't know. How could he?

PETA said the following: "Attending a derby is as despicable as attending a dog fight..." Yeah, except Michael Vick isn't shooting the horses in the head.

Now...in the world of sports that matter -

Cedric Benson gets BUI...
If I were to make a list of the most die hard sports cities Chicago would be on the top of that list...Chicago fans are flat out crazy. So, I pose this question: How much do you have to be hated to get arrested on a boat in the same city whose fans would die for their football team?

Marvin Harrison claims innocence...he's guilty!! So let me get this straight - You fought with a guy in YOUR bar, he got shot with YOUR gun, and the gun was then found at YOUR car wash...but your innocent? How does that work?

Chris Paul owns the NBA...he's the best point guard in the league. No contest... maybe the Hornets are actually that good. I mean, no one else has made the Spurs look like slaw.

And Finally...

Jessica Simpson is writing a song about Tony Romo called "Back in my old Boots" - This is going to be great and I am writing joke material as we speak.

Go Cardinals - took two out of three from the Cubs!!

Holla Back Senoritas.

What?

Has the NFL gotten so bad that even nice guys are becoming thuggish?

It's a shame...

Fab Five: Part Deux

This is Wesley Witherspoon Weekend around Memphis and I could not be happier...

The Memphis Tigers have now signed the following players out of the 2008 draft class:

Matt Simpkins - top 100 recruit
Angel Garcia - top 50 recruit
Wesley Witherspoon - top 50 recruit
Tyreke Evans - top 5 recruit

Considering:
Devin Ebanks - top 25 recruit...

So let me get this straight - you have Jordan, Pippen, and 3 other good role players... I'll take that any day of the week.

John Calipari has earned every penny the university has thrown his way...

Ten years ago the best player on the Tigers was Marcus Moody, man how times have changed. Today, Moody wouldn't have even been on the Tigers list...

In other news...

The Shake junts around town can now kiss their profits goodbye as all of them now are required to follow a bunch of new laws...most notably - the dancers must stay at least six feet from the customers. What!? How am I going to make it rain now? I guess I'll take a roll of quarters in there and toss them at the women on stage...

I don't know how much sports I'll be watching this weekend for it is Music Fest - so let me say the following:
Kentucky Derby is this weekend...I only care after whatever horse wins so I can then watch its future races in hopes to see a triple crown winner.
I hope the Cardinals beat the Cubs.
I hope The Cavs beat the Wizards.
I hope Chris Paul owns Tony Parker on Saturday - (down with the Frenchman)

Where I'll be at musicfest:

Friday - Ben Folds...The Roots

Saturday - Simple Plan (gay I know)...Seether...Santana - If I get there soon enough, Muck Sticky - they're hilarious

Sunday - Jerry Lee Lewis...OAR...Black Crowes - I'd say it's worth the money.

If anyone sees Ironman let me know if it was good or not -

Be Safe - Holla!!
