Tracy Mcgrady had a great debut for the knicks, although they still lost. Then they put up a huge stinker against the Bucks last night, losing 83-67 (or something like that). Just awful. Everyone is just looking forward to this summer, when hopefully they can get 2 superduperstars to bring this franchise near the top.
Team USA beat those Canadians at their own game: hockey. This was a pretty huge upset, and people who don't normally care about hockey (Americans) are actually caring a little. The Canadians are still the favorite to win the gold medal, but obviously they aren't as powerful as everyone thought. It's been a pretty disappointing olympics in general for the host country, proving that Canadians are really the poor man's America. Even at their own winter sports.
Ladainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook have been released from their respective teams. LT is probably a hall of famer, and westbrook was also very very good in his prime. It's crazy that in football you can play so well and suddenly drop off so much. LT is a prime example. He played for just 9 years for the Chargers, won an MVP, was a leading rusher in the league, and now at the age of 30 he is written off as done. In baseball, you play through till sometimes your 40s. Basketballers play in their primes till early 30s, but can still play till late 30s. Footballers- late 20s. Tennis is pretty bad, where most start to decline in your early 20s. Golf obviously is probably the best sport to be a professional, because you probably can make the most money while hitting your prime in your 30s. (Tiger, you're wasting precious time!) I suppose Olympic sports are the worst though, where China sneaks you in at 12 and you retire at 16.
Speaking of the Olympics, what the hell is ice dancing? How is it different from figure skating? Why are they 2 separate sports in the Olympics? Are they not exactly the same? I guess figure skating is more technical, but aren't they similar enough that we don't need to watch 5 minute routines for all these skaters night after night after night for 2 weeks or so?
Oh, and those outfits. Oh My God. Why are we subjected to all of these different Lady Gaga costumes? If you are a straight male, would you rather wear (on global television, mind you) the ice-dancing feathers/wings/glitter costumes or the one piece zip-up skin tight underarmour outfits that those other athletes wear(lugers for example)? As one Australian announcer called it, the ice skaters outfits are a "little too brokeback", but the spandex outfits do not do you any favors unless you are ripped and well-endowed, a combination not even upheld by most of these Olympic athletes. If I had to choose I guess I'll go for the spandex, but regardless of the sport I am requesting a ski mask.
A lot of athletes, Vincent Jackson of the Chargers being the most recent, get charged for DUI's. What a bunch of idiots. YOU ARE RICH, GET A DRIVER OR CALL A CAB YOU DUMBASSES. That is all.
Johnny Damon signed with the Detroit Tigers, officially ending the possibility of him coming back to the Yankees. I liked him a lot, he was clutch, a good hitter with good speed. But damn he was getting old. He had to be taken out of a game in the World Series because he pulled a hammy running the bases. The WORLD SERIES. He can't play the outfield at all. He can't reach the infield with his throws. The guys throwing the peanuts have a better arm. I like him, but I don't love him. Good riddance.
That's all for now! Thanks for reading.

the statement
Tiger's statement was given yesterday morning. It was approximately 13.5 minutes. I had a mix reaction- on one hand, I was disappointed that he was scripted basically word for word. It made him seem so robotic. He didn't field any questions, so we didn't find out much. It was basically 13 minutes of different ways of apologizing and asking for forgiveness. He was adamant about his wife being great and that there was no domestic violence involved in the car-crash incident. I was also disappointed that we did not get a set return date, just another indefinite one.
However, the positive was that, although he sounded robotic, he did seem genuine about getting his life back together. He did seem like he was going to try to be a better man. He came straight out, said he was a bad father/husband, he was selfish and foolish, and now he will never do it again. I hope that's true. Because if he even thinks about another woman, TMZ/ET/AccessHollywood will be all over him and he might have to hide from the world forever.
Now I realize that 13.5 minutes is a long time to sit and watch a video, especially for my busy readers. So I have taken the liberty to re-create a video-paraphrased (is that a word?) version of the Tiger Woods statement that will only waste about 2 minutes of your life. I waste more of my life making this video for your benefit. What you are about to see may shock and disturb you.
What the hell was that? Where was Tiger? That's an office, not a conference room with a podium. Man, I did Tiger no favors in that video. Sorry, Tiger. I apologize for my selfish and foolish behavior.
One more thing about the conference: was it bad that Elin didn't show up? His mom was there, the PGA commissioner was there, but no wifey. I guess it would have been really awkward for her and I don't think she wants to be seen in public, but being there could have been a huge sign that things were going to be getting better. For now, more uncertainty.
That's all for now, let's get to the fun stuff:
DK asks, Does the curling team need to substitute their salary with secondary jobs?
After doing some very shitty "research", I've found that although there are curlers in the Olympics and other tournaments, there is no such thing as a curling profession. You can't make enough money. Again, take that with a grain of salt. I'd imagine that curlers need to have real jobs in their offseason. I'd also imagine that they'd do awesome at maid work and janitorial duties. (insert mexican olympic gold medal joke here, because I refuse to)

olympics
shaun white absolutely destroyed the halfpipe yesterday. it was ridiculous. i've never really been into the winter olympics, but I find myself watching a lot more than usual this time around. speed skating is fun, the jumping stuff is fun as well. however, other sports, such as curling and the biathlon, are so stupid. olympic athletes spend probably most of their lives preparing for this competition. if you spend most of your day curling, you probably need to reconsider your existence in this world. the biathlon is just as stupid. it's a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. basically two random things put together in a really dumb way with retarded rules. there is no doubt that someone on drugs randomly put those two together and someone else on drugs agreed to it becoming an official winter sport. drugs ruin the world, kids.
some nba trades took place today. the knicks got tracy mcgrady, but more importantly, cleared some cap space to hopefully get 2 big free agents this summer. maybe lebron james? maybe dwyane wade? maybe chris bosh? who knows. i'm one who is not very optimistic about getting Lebron. Why would he want to come to the knicks? The knicks suck, cleveland can contend for championships for the next few years with newly acquired antawn jamison. Can Lebron become a bigger star and make that much more money for coming to NYC? not sure. He's already just as rich and popular as Kobe, and Kobe plays in LA.
tiger is finally going to talk tomorrow. i don't think anyone in the world knows what he is going to say. he's always had such a clean image and he's always said the right thing. now that his world is upside down, where does he go? he obviously will say sorry, but is he going to say the stuff we want to hear? it will not be a press conference, meaning he will not answer questions, but here are some questions that I would ask if I could:
- How's your golf game? Have you been practicing?
- How was sex rehab?
- When was the last time you had sex?
- How many women did you really sleep with? If I went to a random Friendly's on Staten Island, is it more likely that you boned my waitress or not?
- Is it true that one of your flings had to abort a potential mini-Tiger? Did you forget to use a headcover to protect your iron?
- Are you and your wife working things out? How much are you paying her to stay with you?
- Are you switching your phone service to Verizon to have 3 times more coverage in the US?
- What will happen again first: you swing a golf club or your wife swings a golf club at you?
Tiger, I want answers! Add your own questions in the comments.
Darrell Green is a hall of fame NFL player. He just turned 50 years old and celebrated by running the 40 meter dash in 4.43 seconds. 4.43!! that's faster than 85% of current nfl players, and at least twice as fast as I can run it with roller blades.
oh god, the nba all-star weekend sucked. the dunk contest was absolutely terrible. nate robinson ended up winning, and those who watched were all losers. even the D-League, aka the minor leagues, had a much better dunk contest. video of one dunk below:
baseball is almost back for real. spring training is about to begin and i am excited because that means winter is almost over. I think one of the reasons I like baseball so much is because the weather is nice and the cold is gone. I can't imagine what it's like living in canada. Though year-round heat is probably just as bad. You gotta have a nice balance of both extremes. It's like being a vegetarian. You're just missing out.

snowy blizzard
when you're young, you love snow days. you skip school, you play outside, it's all fun and games. now that im older, i hate it. you probably still have to go to work, digging your car out is a huge pain in the ass, public transportation is terrible, the snow stings your face in strong winds, you have to shovel for hours and have to go back out when it piles up again, and you basically can't do anything but sit at home. i like snow sometimes, but only a few inches at a time. i will always hate blizzards. i dont really like extreme heat either. too hot is almost as bad as too cold. id be okay if the weather was always around 70 degrees and i could be comfortable wearing shorts or jeans, long sleeve or short.
Q: but why dont you move to cali or somewhere mild-weathered, sportsdude101?
A: because then i'd have nothing to complain about and i would have to write about real sports all the time.
so the wall street journal did a study and found out that the average nfl telecast has only 11 minutes of actual game action. most of the broadcast is filled with announcers talking, players standing around, and replays. the superbowl? 14 minutes of game action. and people say baseball is boring?
the most exciting part of all of the all-star weekend festivities is the slam dunk contest. many people think it's gotten too flashy and dumb, but i think it has gotten more creative. again, the four participants are shannon brown, gerald wallace, nate robinson, and either demar derozen or eric gordon. Should be fun!
here are my favorite slam dunk contest dunks of all-time! vote for your favorite!
vince carter, 2000.
jason richardson, an extremely underrated dunk. one of the most difficult of all time. i couldnt do this off a trampoline on an 8 foot rim.
this is a silly dunk by gerald green. i think its hilarious. you have to watch it in slow motion to appreciate it!
dwight howard, 2008. this dunk made one commenter, kenny smith, quit his job.
andre iguodala, god damn.
i would include some old school dunks, like jordan from the free throw line and stuff, but they just aren't as good as the ones today. if any of these dunks were performed in the 80's/early 90s, people would have a heart attack. athletes are just bigger and more athletic nowadays and can do crazier stuff. it was hard to limit the choices to just 5, but i dont want to waste any more of your time. just comment if you wanna go off the board.
I am officially promoting "the league". It's about guys in a fantasy football league and i think some of you will like it. it's mostly a comedy about stupid stuff, and if there's one thing i know..you readers like stupid stuff.

super? bowl
My bad if you guys bet on the colts. I was wrong. I didn't really have much of a rooting interest in the game, and I thought the game sucked. Not too much drama, 10-6 score at halftime, not much excitement in the game. The Colts easily could have won the game, but the Saints played much better yesterday. 5 reasons the Saints won:
5. The Saints tackled better. The Colts couldn't tackle...(damn, that is second level stuff right there. You can't find that anywhere else.)
4. The onside kick to begin the 2nd half. The saints caught everyone off guard and snatched the ball to keep peyton manning off the field for a long long time. The crazy thing is that their kicker never attempted an onside kick in his life, let alone in the superbowl. Scoring on that drive gave them the lead and helped nawlin's capture all kinds of momentum.
3. I think the bigger play was how conservative the colts were at the end of the first half.. they were up 10-3 with about 2 minutes to go in the half and they just stopped the saints at the 1 yard line. You have Peyton freakin' Manning as your quarterback with timeouts, and you run the ball 3 times? They immediately went 3-and-out, punted, and the saints came back and scored a field goal with time expiring. The colts played scared, and thats not how they should play with the greatest quarterback in the game.
2. The Colts dropped passes. Pierre Garcon may have the coolest sounding name in the league, but damn he dropped an important pass. So did Reggie Wayne.
1. The Saints offensive line gave Drew Brees plenty of time. The Colts couldn't get any pressure on Brees, especially in the 2nd half. If you give Drew Brees time, he will kill you. He is highly regarded as the most accurate passer in the league, and he showed it last night.
So there ya go, the boring superbowl broken down. Congrats to the Saints! Oh, btw, why does this Superbowl victory mean that New Orleans is back? Were they not back before this? Why is the recovery from Hurricane Katrina contingent upon a football team winning the Superbowl 4 years later? Obviously the city is still not in great shape, but getting much better. But does it have anything to do with the Saints? If the Colts won, would anything in the city be different besides the massive partying? If the Yankees won the world series in 2001 after 9/11, would the recovery have been faster? It's so easy to say that the city of N.O. stood behind its team and its morale was so much greater because they were successful. But in the end, this is still just a game. And people will go back to living their lives with high spirits. And it has little to nothing to do with football.
oh yeah, and the Who sucked.
A quick look ahead to next season. The colts are going to remain stacked. I'm convinced as long as peyton is there, they can win. The saints, however..have 29 free agents. (don't quote me on that number) They are likely to lose some of their key players, but it's too early to speculate on that crap.
The NBA allstar weekend is this upcoming weekend, is anyone excited? Dunk contest, rookie game, 3 point shootout, the all star game. I'm one who loves these stupid mini-exhibition games. I know most people think its boring and they should get rid of it, but I love it. I don't know why.

That's the standard, are you better or worse?
The AABA sparked a little life into some commenters, with all 3 mentioning it in their blurbs. I agree with all of you, whatever you said. The AABA is similar to the WNBA in that nobody can dunk and nobody will watch it...and they all have penises. HIMYM is definitely racist. The last episode proved it. The joke of Cook-poo was distasteful and not even funny. I hope they know that in Asia they are re-running the episode of "Why I meet you mom" where the main character Kim makes fun of the only white person named Will Martin.
The pic of the day is rex ryan's middle finger from a while ago. i think it's interesting that the ny post did not elect to blur out the finger.
finally, the youtube clip of the week is a sweet dunk by ty lawson a little while ago.
listed at 5'11, but probably even shorter than that. very nice.

AABA
there will soon be a new professional basketball league called the AABA, which stands for the all-american basketball alliance. it is started by Don Lewis. it will most likely have 12 teams, all in the south. whats special about this league?.... it is whites-only. i shit you not.
Lewis claims to not be a racist. but i think we can all read between the lines here. Here are some of his official statements.
Players would have to be "natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race." Translation...White power! All members of the league must have ancestral members of the KKK.
"...But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like." White, american-born citizens are in the minority now. 75% of Americans are white. the next highest ethnicity are the latinos, coming in at 15.4%. you take away some of the jews and non-american born whites and you will still never be the "minority".
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color." say nathaniel, these black people jump too high and run too fast. they just cant play ball fundamentally sound like we can. do they even know the rules? golly, if we grew up in the jungle like them we would be so much better.
"Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he said. "That's the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction." Black people are all about flash. they grab their penises after a dunk, they give you the finger, and then they rob you after the game. i want a league that makes ya feel safe to walk around the arena.
"People will come out and support a product they can identify with. I'm the spoken minority right now, but if people will give us a chance, it'll work... The white game of basketball, which is essentially a fundamental game, works." When people finally realize that the south won the civil war, this league will be totally awesome!
“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing. I don’t hate anyone of color,” Don Lewis said in a statement. I hate black people.
This guy is so ignorant that it's kind of funny. it's 2010. cant we all just pretend in public that we aren't racist then in private tell all kinds of racist jokes and laugh hysterically? that is the society i hope for one day.
john terry is a soccer player who plays for chelsea. he is married and has kids. he had an affair with his teammate Wayne Bridge's girlfriend. he got her pregnant. she had an abortion. he gave her £20,000. whatever that means. 20,000 anything that isn't asian must be a lot of money. funny enough, terry was just voted dad of the year just this past year in june '09. this may not sound like a big story here in america, but in europe? this may be the biggest sports story of the century. it would be like if kobe bryant knocked up lebron james' baby mama.
the superbowl is on sunday! I will be shocked if the colts don't win. Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback we will ever see in our lifetimes. As a defense, you must give him many, many different looks or he will rip you apart. I remember Rodney Harrison, former member of the Patriots, saying that one time they played peyton, they tricked him early in the game and ed reed was able to get an interception. much later in the game, they decided to run that same play and manning read it immediately and threw a long touchdown pass. you can't give him the same look twice in a game. He can read defenses like phil ivey can read you at a poker table. My official prediction will be 34-17 colts. and btw, the dwight freeney injury is way overrated. he'll play and he'll be decent.
Drew magary said on deadspin that "How I met your mother" is the whitest show on television. hmmm...why yes it is. there are no black people on the show. there are no asian people. wayne brady was on the show, but does that really count? how bout mixing up the characters a bit you AABA supporting sons of bitches? (btw, i love the show)
Because I am encouraging people to get more involved with the blog, I am going to start commenting on your previous comments. And you're gonna like it.
whitxly asks, "Why is your header a poopy color?"
Well, whitxly, I do not know why the header color changed. I did not do a thing. And I am struggling to change it back because I can't figure out this damn site. (Notice most of the page is in the default setting) But I have a question for you. What is wrong with poopy colors? Everyone poops. Poopy is nothing to be ashamed about and being poopy is what makes us alive and well. Even animals poop, right? At least we can semi-control our bowels and most of the time we make it to the toilet to expel in a proper and clean manner. Maybe my header is a reminder to stay healthy and eat well.
DK states, "Imagine if Bolt was bitten by a zombie... he would dominate."
Yes, DK. Usaine bolt would be a killer zombie. If he were bit by a zombie, i think the rest of the world would become zombified in about 9.69 seconds. I don't know if i would even try to run. I might just hit the deck into a fetal position and hope that I've made enough peace with God in those last seconds to not be eternally damned to hell. But, then again, I'm friends with you...so I have no shot.
the youtube clip of the week: chuck hayes free throws. maybe this is what don lewis meant by black people having no fundamentals. it looks like he jizzes in his pants before he shoots the ball. try not to laugh, i dare you.
enjoy the game if i dont post before sunday!

Lewis claims to not be a racist. but i think we can all read between the lines here. Here are some of his official statements.
