There have been some VERY interesting happenings in sports this past week! So, I decided to just give a few comments on them all instead of focusing on one each.First, Farve! This man has won me over. I used to roll my eyes and hope that someone would go to his first "post-retire" game with a tranquilizer gun and put him out before his first pass. BUT, I have to admit, he is one crusty, stubborn old fart! Will he retire? AGAIN? Well, his answer was basically NO! He says, he will play if he is "healthy," which of course he will be...he'll make SURE to be! Anyway, I give up, go Farve!Then....Oh boy! Tyson Gay beat Usain "big head"Bolt! And even though both of their times were nowhere near Bolt's record time he ran in the 2008 Olympics, it STILL gives Gay bragging rights. He didn't just beat him in this last race in Stockholm, he smoked him! I'm glad I can say that Gay beat Bolt, even if it was a result of Bolt being out of shape and coming from an Achilles injury. A win is a win! Congrats Gay!Next, WOWZER! Did I just see that? Did I just watch Chael Sonnen practically murder Anderson Silva for four rounds, and even most of the fifth and STILL lose the fight? What, does Silva have some type of Brazilian leprechaun bringing him luck? To be honest, I had a feeling that Anderson might lose this fight because Sonnen was so darn confident he'd win! Ever heard that saying "mind over matter?" Well it turns out, Sonnen not only had the mind, he had the matter! He got Silva where he hurt: wrestling. So, wrestling is Anderson Silva's cryptonite! I'm surprised that in all his 12 straight wins, no one has faced him that could wrestle. He hasn't lost since 2006, so that was a HUGE oversight. Sonnen was pretty smart to recognize that Silva, who has been hailed as the best MMA fighter pound for pound, had a huge weakness. So, I'm tickled pink that Silva did win by submission over Sonnen in the end, but kudos for Sonnen for giving him a HARD won fight! I smell a rematch!And last...take a look at the photo above....this is why I love Tim Tebow.....he is humble enough to withstand some rookie hazing (take notes Dez Bryant). He looks so cute! LOL
Ack! Someone call the army! It's a big Shaq attack! Shaq is on a NBA rampage. He has decided to pillage through as many teams as he possibly can before he becomes a myth like his brother, Sasquatch. He goes through teams like he goes thru his make ups and break ups with Shawnie. Okay, so we have to watch his big fat azz run up and down the court with the Boston Celtics for ONE mo year. One more year of Shaq looking cross-eyed into the camera as he is interviewed answering questions about Kobe, and "getting that fifth ring." LOL, okay, let me stop, I really do like Shaq. And what I like about him, is that he would read what I am saying about him and craaack up! He has a great sense of humor and personality. I always wish him well, I just wish he would stop being a team hoe! And I wish he would stop going to teams that HATE the Lakers! What is his problem with them?? I know, KOBE, even tho they are supposedly on good terms now. They are like the Paris and Nicole of the NBA, the "frenemies." Okay Shaq, I love you man, but I can't wish you well if you play for Boston...sorry. Man, this NBA season is gonna be like watching a soap opera! :D
All right, all right, I admit it...I WAS WRONG! I was wrong about LeBron "Chump" James. Just Kidding! James may be a coward, but he's probably no chump. He just may finally get his first championship ring with the Miami Heat. I mean, if he can't do it there, he just can't do it ANYWHERE. Granted, it's in his right to want to win THAT bad, but he just totally trashed his legacy with this decision to go to Miami and blend in with two other super stars: Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Even if he does win a ring, it will be bittersweet. No one will be calling him a legend 20 years after he retires. He'll just be "one of those good guys who played some good ball in his career." Despite the idea that what he has just done is tantamount to cheating, in my view, LeBron is a classic "mommas boy" and it's all too clear after this "leaving Cleveland for Miami" fiasco. Seriously, who tells the WHOLE world "I talked it over with my momma, and she said it was a good idea to go to Miami..." This kid just can't stop castrating and embarrassing himself, it seems. So...Miami has a super team and now a full roster. The pressure is on them. Let the games begin! It looks like the Eastern Conference is basically in the bag at this point, but time will tell. I have to say, I wonder what LeBron's strategy will be if he doesn't win right away in Miami? I can see them winning maybe one or two, but he won't get five or more there in the time he has left in his career....And now he is trying to make nicey nice with his hometown Akron, Ohio. On a positive note, maybe he will finally do the RIGHT thing and marry his two-time baby momma! Go Lakers!! :D
Honestly, I really don't know what all the talk has really been about. All throughout the playoffs, and the NBA Finals: "Where's LeBron gonna play next year!" while Lebron has been mum on the topic, even though it's all about him! Well, he comes out of hiding for a little while and gives a cameo appearance and a tidbit about his decision, but I think he's mainly just messing with our heads....LeBron's not going anywhere. That's right, I said it. Ohio is home sweet home for Lebron, and home is where the heart is....and the millions! LOL Another team would have to offer him the biggity big big bucks for him to leave is throne with the Cavs. He may not ever win a ring with the Cavs, but he will have still proven himself to be the most powerful player on a NBA team EVER! He didn't get his ring this year, and heads rolled in Cleveland! And no doubt, he will pick the new coach as well as the new GM. Yep, LeBron is the Oprah of the NBA, and he'd better watch his back because that's just too much power for a young black man to have. LOL, just kidding. I actually love it, I love that he commands and dictates what goes on in his kingdom with the Cavs because he works his butt off! And he has fun with the game most of the time and doesn't take himself too seriously. Anyway, I still look forward to that LeBron vs Kobe, Lakers vs. the Cavs matchup! Maybe next year? ;D
Oh yeah! We did it AGAIN! My boys made it successfully through what had to be one of the most nail biting, hair pulling, and nerve wracking NBA finals series in a LONG time. Lakers vs. Boston....WOWZER! I somehow knew we would win the finals, but there were times when I didn't know how. Obama predicted that the Lakers would win even before the series began, and yes, there were times when I even questioned the prez. I was so psycho during while watching game 7, that I had to leave the house and stop watching it! I actually told my Laker fan buddy Afi not to text me until the game was over, and I commenced to engross myself in reading a nice book. LOL. But no one can question that the Lakers are THE best team in the league. We have an answer to them all. Artest came out a hero and I am so proud of and happy for him. Pau "the Spaniard" Gasol also came through and did his thing, can't say that i was surprised either. And Fisher had the faith of a HUGE mustard seed (along with a hairy face) and that paid off, as well. I don't need to say anything about my man Black Mamba. That's right, Kobe would have been the best contender for MVP even if the Lakers didn't win the series in the end. He was the hero, as usual (and I won't even mention "Back 2 back, without Shaq") hehe. Anyway, the series is over, so I relax and reminisce by checking out some of the wacky pictures that were captured like those above. GO LAKERS!! :)
Okay...I wonder what is REALLY going on with the Lakers? I have a two part theory. The first theory is that being that they know they are already the Division champs, they are just saving themselves for the playoffs. Why play hard, risk injury, exhaust themselves if they are already going to the playoffs and don't have to grapple to get there? Save it for the REAL business, where winning games really counts at this point. But my OTHER theory is that the other guys are rebelling since Kobe came back...like maybe they enjoyed playing and winning win he was on the sidelines hurt. Maybe they resent him coming back after all, so they refuse to perform. Is that possible? Can grown men be THAT petty, juvenile, and silly? YES! it's possible they just don't want to give Kobe any more fuel to his fire. Perhaps they think that he gets too much of the credit, and they have the balls to protest (unlike the flunkies playing under LeBron James. LOL. I don't know...I thought with the addition of Ron Artest it was gonna be a great year. And granted, it did start out that way. But what's has gotten into our fellas lately? Is it apathy, strategic planning, or stubbornness. I truly don't believe that they are simply being outplayed. Well, at any rate, the playoffs basically start this weekend. Let's hope we see the Champs play like they should be playing!! Go Lakers!!
Wow...how many women will Ben Roethlisburger have to sexually assault before someone gets him some help...? Okay, to be fair, he "allegedly" assaulted two women: one last year and one just last week...but it's starting to look like at least ONE of these ladies are telling the truth. Is it me, or does Ben appear to be spiraling out of control? He is the "white wild child" of the NFL. He provides some relief to the black players stigma of being the usual trouble makers. What's his problem? I know he's still in his 20s, but his on the downside of being able to get away with utter foolish behavior, he's almost 30!! And is it ALSO just me, but has anyone else noticed that he looks like a dripping hot mess??! Sweaty, sloppy, smelly...ewww! He has a 100 million dollar contract, can't he afford to take a shower, shave, and cut his hair?? Anyway, let me not bash him, I just think he is setting a poor example and needs to show some responsibility. Wow....I wish we could go back to the days when athletes were heroes....*sigh*
