Friday, May 16, 2008 - "A LeBron James Team is never desperate"

-Brandon Webb of the Diamondbacks improves to a stellar 9-0 after his victory against the Colorado Rockies
-Currently unemployed coach Avery Johnson joined the TNT crew the other night. If I were a betting man, I would wager that he will be hired by an NBA team by the end of the off-season. The man's a proven winner.
-There's way too much news highlighting Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey these days. Neither of the two are even A-list celebrities either, or even remotely interesting - so who cares.
-Can Tim Duncan and the Spurs win in New Orleans? Now, they'll
have to, with the series knotted at three a piece.
-the NBA's 70 year-old cookie monster, or more commonly referred to as Dikembe Mutombo, has decided to return for an 18th run at the title.
-Home Alone: The Reality. For some reason, I don't think the phrase "oops" can cut it.
-The Toronto Blue Jays are a half game above the Yankees at this point in the season. Just stating a fact.
-Where are the Pau Gasol critics now? Of course, they'll fully credit #24 when the topic is raised.
-The Dallas Cowboys will be featured on ESPN's "Hard Knocks" this year. Headlining the show are: Pacman Jones, Tony Romo and T.O. It will be an interesting saga, to say the least.
-Lebron James brashly said, "A Lebron James Team is never desperate" after game 5's lost to the Celtics, following his "Sit your ass down, Mother" comment the previous game. Just more reasons to hate the guy.
-On the same topic, Sir Charles Barkley hit the nail on the head with his thoughts on the first quote, "
How the hell can you call this your team, when the only games you've won in this series were won by your supporting cast, not you?"
-Dany Heatly becomes Team Canada's all-time leading scorer, or better known as, the NHL's biggest post-season loser.
-For some reason, those pink autographed bats being auctioned off on MLB.com don't seem all that appealing to me.
-Stephen A. Smith recently criticized both Chris Bosh's game and physical appearance, to which Bosh sent a verbal jab right back. Stephen A. should just choke on a cheese-doodle already, seriously.
-Who do I want to replace Chuck Swirsky? Anyone but Rod Black (TSN's carbon copy commentator of the Jays' Jamie Campbell)
-Speaking of replacements, is this the end of The Office's awkward, yet likeable character Toby Flenderson? Sure looks like it. Ryan Howard's character seems to be done as well, after the recent events that transpired in the finale.
-Sunday (if, even) will be the last blog, at least for a month as I will be M.I.A. Apologies to my three faithful readers.
