Sports this week . . .

Seems some of the sports headlines this week were about anything but sports . . .

Lebron can have his cake and eat it too!



Anywhere he wants,



except on ESPN.




Pitino has 15 seconds of fame








and a short shot clock…

Fat Albert,


still is . . .





And apparently dropping a deuce didn’t help clear the air either…

Terrell Owens has a new theme song


Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm living somewhere in Cincinnati,
Just Ochocinco, the Bengals, and me.



Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town and the reality tv dial
Romo, Trent and Donovan weren’t meant to be,
So Carson throw to me once in awhile.

I'm at the Bengals in Cincinnati..

I Proclaim

How come everything now a days needs to be in the form of a Reality TV show?







How come rich and famous celebrities get to have national publicity, their own radio or TV show/special to totally embarrass themselves or their teammates or their fans?





It's not fair!

Everyone, no matter his or her social status, economic background or whatever, should be given the opportunity to do this anytime they want!

I think there should be a new cable or satellite channel called.... oh I don't know.... lets start with

"I Proclaim"

where anybody can reserve a time slot to broadcast yourself live for anybody anywhere to watch.

Viewers could vote for their favorite ones; and the best, or worst, can be shown afterwards on demand.

Forget Green Eggs and Ham

Now you can have Green Cheese Pizza and Burnt Toast!

NBA cooks up edible logos to make mark on pizza and toast.


Gotta love the marketing guru's and good ol' American capitalism!

I wonder what's next?

Designer Guns and Liquor!

We are #1

First, Ted earned the right to purchase the Wizards and rebuild another franchise.

Now he and the organization have the 1st pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

For at least tonight, we are #1!

Congratulations Ted.

"We have a lot of work to do with the franchise...The players, the culture, the expectations, the discipline around the team, but I do think it is a breath of fresh air and does revive the franchise and gives us a shot to be an exciting team with a lot of expectations. I know how hard it is to rebuild a team. I am going to be patient but I have a strong belief that our management team and ownership team is very focused. We are going to work hard and listen to everybody. I promise we will build a team that everyone can be proud of."

The Wizards were also represented by Irene Pollin, who wore the 1978 Bullets championship ring of her late husband, longtime owner Abe Pollin. When the Wizards pulled off the surprising win, Irene Pollin's jaw dropped and appeared to mouth 'Oh my God!!' with wide eyes.

"My husband wanted another (championship) so badly," she said. "He really did. So maybe this will be the beginning of another one."

Agent Zero Man...

Abe Pollin is probably rolling over in his grave right about now...
Are we going to start calling them the Bullets again...

And here is my obligatory joke like "it's OK we all know he can't shoot"

Of course I do not know the facts...

They range from

Bragging "oh yeah, well mine is bigger than yours"

to Conscientious "I just wanted to get them out of the house away from the baby"

(Ummm excuse me, the kid is like 1 month old - unless if you have the guns laying around in the crib (the babies, not yours) I don't see the sudden problem) Oh and what about gun safes and I guess it was OK when you had the other much older kids around.

But I digress... sort of


Point is, this is serious stupid stuff and should not be tolerated by the Bullets Wizards, NBA, or fans.

If any of the gun stuff is remotely true...

Send him up to spend some time with Plax. I'm sure they will get along just fine.

We want your brain...

NFL to Players: Please Donate Your Brains.

OK, so not to be little this too much, I do realize that this is important for players and the NFL....

But, exactly what are they trying to do here and shouldn't studies such as this be expanded to include other sports, owners, coaches and even fans?

And shouldn't the effects of drugs and other factors be taken into consideration?

And what about just excessive stress and all the "stress relief" products out on the market?

Such as this one...



After all, lets look at some of the symptoms of brain injury...

Any brain function can be disrupted by brain trauma:

excessive sleepiness,
inattention,
difficulty concentrating,
impaired memory,
faulty judgment,
depression,
irritability,
emotional outbursts,
disturbed sleep,
diminished libido,
difficulty switching between two tasks,
and slowed thinking.

This could explain a lot.

Based on symptoms alone, I think we could apply this study to any number of "bad" Teams, Coaches, Owners and yes even fans...

Such as...

The Cleveland Browns.

The New Jersey Nets.

The Washington Nationals.

Mike Martz.

I'm sure people could think of at least a few others.

And of course, sometimes the players are their own worst enemies...

Here are two examples...

One from this past weekend where Flozell Adams shows how to tackle Marion Barber...


And this classic Redskin Moment...





Makes you wonder...What were they thinking!!!
