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.

Wednesday, May 14, 2008 - First ever rundown...

-I can't decide on who I think is more obnoxious: Don "dinosaur" Cherry or John "turducky" Madden.
-No team has ever hoisted the Larry O'Brien without snagging a game on the road, could this year's Celtics be the first? Not likely.
-More likely to happen, both the Pistons and Red Wings win it all, becoming the first teams in 61 years to accomplish the feat. Easier said than done however - just ask the New England Patriots.
-the Miami Heat are interested in either PG the Raptors are willing to let go - cue your Shawn Marion scenarios.
-Annika Sorenstam announces her retirement from the LPGA. Possibly the greatest female golfer of all time.
-Of Maxim's Hot 100, Derek Jeter has tapped a world-leading 6, while John Mayer trailing close behind at 4.
-The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are 7 games above .500 for the first time in franchise history.
-More impressive, the unassisted triple play or the goal deflected off of the defense man's head?
-Monday's episode of House? Amazing, even more so than usual.
-Wayne Gretzky in the running for the Leafs' coaching job. If it's taking this long, who isn't, really?
-New favourite television show: Law and Order: SVU.
-Once again, David Beckham will not be playing in Toronto. Tough luck, Toronto soccer fans.
-Steve Nash has an opt-out on his contract after next season, start dreaming Raptor fans.
-the New Orleans Hornets are the real deal, but you can never count out a team with the greatest power forward of all time.
-Andy/Dwight's Nissan Xterra SE from The Office for sale, literally.
-Must be nice to be a Florida Marlins fan at this point, you'd be lying if you said you expected them to be doing this well, even this early in the season.
-"6 years? That sounds sexy" - R. Kelly, SNL.
