Yesterday, August 4^th, 2007 – a date which will live in infamy – the integrity of baseball was deliberately attacked by the bat of Barry Bonds.

Colorado Adventure costs Kobe 100 million (and his marriage)?

Kids, when you plan to cheat on your wife get a pre-nup first.

Bill Walsh, mastermind of the 49ers dynasty passes away at 75

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/07/30/BAG57LR8OK21.DTL

In addition to coaching some of the best teams of all time, Walsh was one of a select group that can say they changed the game of football significantly.

Very sad news. Our thoughts go out to his family.

Kei Igawaful likely odd man out

 

 

When the New York Yankees and GM Brian Ca$hmoney signed the ace of the Hanshin Tigers of the Nippon Professional League – they weren’t expecting for him to replicate his dominance here in the MLB. Rather they were expecting a solid number 4 or 5 back of the rotation guy – who goes deep into the games and throws the ball with his left hand.
Well it’s past judgment time for Igawa – who is likely the odd man out of the Yanks rotation who has been underwhelming to say the least so far in his Yankee career. Igawa currently sports a 6.67 ERA with a 1.53:1 K:BB ratio. With the return of the 21 year old phenom Phil Hughes imminent, he will probably take over the 5 spot in the rotation for New York, bumping Igawa to the bullpen.

Is anyone really scared of the Celtics?

Sure as hell doesn’t look like Tim Duncan is..

Is anyone scared of Boston? Short answer no. Look at every team in Sport’s worst division.. the Hellhole or as you might call it the Atlantic Division. Toronto, New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York. Why would any of those teams worry about a few ageing stars and an “upcoming” forward.

Heres what the other teams had to say when interviewed:

Toronto: Boston who’s?

New Jersey: Go back to the lotttery

Philadelphia: Our mediocrity is to much for you

New York: We have Donaghy on our side

On a more serious note According to ESPN’s Hollinger ratings the Boston Celtics have 3 of the best players in the league with: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson. The only other two teams in the same situation are the Spurs and the Suns and a little hunch tells me those teams aren’t doing to badly.

 

Nightmare in the NBA: Corruption being investigated

This is bad, This is very bad. Many have questioned it for years without success. Tim Donaghy is at the center of a federal investigation. The investigation consists of accusations that the NBA Ref “Fixed games and bet on ones that he officiated” Supposedly Donaghy had a gambling addiciton and was threatened by a string of Gangsters who where problem gamblers.

The sad thing is, Now every time you think you see a bad call there will be people claiming that there was corruption. A sad day for the NBA.

The worst part is that this will enable fans to claim any tough loss decided on a call they view questionable. Win by 1? Get ready to hear that “your team just paid the ref off” from sore losers.

This has the potential to be worse than the steroids scandal since steroids do not automatically produce a win, a ref in your pocket all but does.

2004 MVP meet 2006 MVP

Could two of the best Power Forwards in the game be on the same team in the near future?

Trade Rumors between Minesota and Dallas are running rampant as the deal gets closer and closer every day, The former MVP Garnett has had a hard time winning in Minesota in the past few years. He has told interviewers many times all he wants is to win, He even told our own Staff Writer Jack this when Jack went to see him play a regular season game this year.

The proposed deal:

Josh Howard, Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop and Greg Buckner for Kevin Garnett.

How will the deal work:

Mavericks have to give Minesota contracts that are within twenty-five percent of KG’s salary which is at the moment 22 million. Or 16.5 Million in cash.

What an arrogant bitch. Flaunting her cash wad, planning on making everyone who had camped out go home empty handed so she could make a quick buck. A stupid bitch too because if she did the slightest bit of homework she would have known about the purchase limit.

NBA Offseason: Trades & Rumors

What a hectic 2 days it has been with the Blockbuster trades and Kobe publicly lashing the Lakers. But It isn’t over yet though.. Here are some Rumors spreading around the NBA.

Boston/Golden State & Dallas race for KG

First Ray Allen now KG? That’s whats on NBA reportrs minds all around the country. The Celtics fans that are already frothing at the mouth with Ray Allen & Paul Pierce together may add another All Star to the mix. KG wants to win more than anything and now that Ray is in Boston could this be more of an incentive to want to go there. Golden state have recently re-instated their Interests in the Big Man after trading guard Jason Richardson for Draftee Brandan Wright.

Likeliness Rating

Boston: 31%

Golden State: 44%

Dallas: 12.1344%

Best and Worst dressed: NBA Draft 2007

Nominees for Best dressed:

Wilson Chandler #23rd Pick, New York Knicks.

Keeping it simple William rocks up in a Dark navy blue pinstripe suit accompinied by that “Im a 23rd Pick white shirt”

Marco Belinelli #18th Pick, Golden State Warriors.

Very Classy but is his suit saying that he will only bring dark days to Golden State.

Nominees for Worst Dressed:

Joakim Noah #9th Pick, Chicago Bulls.

He has about as much style as he does on the hardwood. Joakim’s parents where very pleased with their son he has been trying to emulate clowns all his life and he finally got somewhere.

Greg Oden #1 Pick, Portland Trailblazers

After being alive for 56 years you would think he could pick up some style tips.

VOTE!
