i'm a simple minded fan blogging about sports. mostly from the NBA and currently the NFL. why do i do this? because contrary to my earlier belief, the players don't hear me when i scream at the TV. this way at least some poor soul will read what i blog. enjoy!
more trick shots, this time from the Fantasy Factory. the one @ 1:07 is the most impressive.
monster dunk by Josh Smith on Dwight Howard. well, actually not really. but it should still give you some lolz
does anybody know where i could get these Broncos striped socks? they’re too cool not to have. right?
stop pretending that you’re talking with somebody Marbury because no one is calling. word has it that he is calling it a season and would not be back until next year. this might not be a surprise to some but it is to me. i thought he would at least play in Europe. in fact, i still believe he will be somewhere sometime during this season. a European or NBA team could want him after all-star break to fill a void to help them in a championship run. if not, keep an eye on Ustream.

why did you have to die so young? why were you traded to the expansion-team Jazz? there’s a lot of “why” in his life.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Airplane! … this is too funny
U.S. congressman R. Peter King has sent a letter to David Stern about the NBA having games with a team that owes former NBA player Chris Morris and his agent Tom McLaughlin money on a contract that was not fully paid. I do not know if Stern knew about this when they scheduled the Olympiakos to come to the U.S. to play a couple of games. This has become strange situation that needs to be solved. King also said that the NBA should do something to ensure that American players get fair treatment in Europe. This right here does not make sense to me. What does the NBA have to do with American players playing in another league? They are basically working with a separate company in Europe, nothing to do with the NBA. The NBA have been playing with European clubs for some time now. It is a way to show respect to one another. I enjoy seeing NBA teams play teams in Europe. I’m not on the same page with David Stern about having a NBA team in Europe however. The time difference, for one, is going to be too much of a problem. Anyways, in summation, congressmen, stay away from the NBA. Stick with fixing the country’s problems and not worrying about two guys not getting paid from a European company.
