Stan Van Gundy, Why did he leave?

2005-12-14T00:11:00.000-05:00

As you can tell by the picture on my left, Stan Van Gundy,AKA Ron Jeremy has left his head coaching job with the Miami Heat to make more porn movies. He seemed to have lost that loving feeling and wants to jump back into it. I'm kidding ofcourse but they do look alike. Go Hedge hog!!!

Ron Artest is Crazy

2005-12-13T23:15:00.000-05:00

Not only did Artest screw his team last year, the f...ing crybaby calls out his coach and team and demands a trade. This is simply one case of a total "loser athlete" who doesn't deserve the money he gets. He should be banned from the NBA and have him work on his rapping album. Ron, you're a disgrace and shouldn't get another dime from the league.

Would you golf with these Turkey's?

2005-12-13T09:32:00.000-05:00

It seems that this foursome has taken the world by storm. They are well known as the hustling foursome. If you happen to see them at your local golf course, watch out!!! Please stay away from them.

Richard Pryor Dead at 65

2005-12-12T23:03:00.000-05:00

I really didn't know a whole lot about Richard Pryor. I saw Brewster's Millions and thought it was a cool movie but his comedy acts I was never allowed to watch in the 70's or 80's because I wasn't old enough. He died recently of a heart attack and had a long fight with MS. I've seen so many sports figures, comedians etc...reach out to show their appreciation for Richard Pryor. He changed the comedic world for what it is today. The Chris Rocks, Eddie Murphy's, he made it better and a whole lot easier for them to do their thing. On the surface you would think that this guy is a saint and a man to look up to. But, I read some troublesome articles on him today.

He was the son of a Prostitute Mom and his grandmother was the madam. He indulged in drugs for most of his life, which many famous people do anyway. But the thing that really got to me is that he was married five times and beat his wives. How can we look up to someone like that? How can we thank someone like that? If you're a man and you beat woman, you should be put in jail. Instead, people are celebrating his life for his accomplishments and no one has mentioned that he was a wife beater. I think people should know and why? There are thousands of men out there that beat their wives and some even take it a step further. For anyone who does this, your all freaking cowards, bottom line.

So we can thank Richard Pryor for his comedic talent but that's it. He was a coward as well and should always be known as one. Don't beat women, it's not worth it and it's flat out classless.

Red Wings Player Happy to Be Alive

2005-12-12T18:52:00.000-05:00

November 21 Jiri Fischer was laid out on the ice trying to be revived by a defibrillator while his heart stopped for an unknown amount of time. It's not even a month later and he is doing much better, but not sure if he will play hockey again. Today in a press conference he talked about how happy he is to have a second chance.

Ron Artest Wants Out

2005-12-12T18:47:00.000-05:00

He has requested to be traded from the Indiana Pacers and it seems they are going to work with him. I'm not really sure how many teams will be interested because of his personality issues, but he is one talented player. Stay tuned on this one.

More to the story than being said

2005-12-12T18:41:00.000-05:00

Is what is going down in Miami. It has been rumored for months that Riley would take over for the Heat and today Stan Van Gundy stepped down as head coach. Van Gundy sited personal reasons of wanting to spend more time with his family, but he just realize he is a busy man now? I think Riley told him to go home and spend more time with his family due to the Heat's 11-10 record.

Make Up Your Mind Miguel

Jeter's getting pissed

2005-12-12T00:14:00.000-05:00

It seems that Derek Jeter is getting pissed off because of the lack of moves thus far during the offseason for the Yankees. What's the matter Derek, Steinnuts spends his ass of every year, maybe a payroll of 300 million would suit your fancy. The fact is, your reign is over. Face it, what made your team great in the late 90's was lack of ego's on the team. You were a pup back then and got a lot of the credit. You're starting to become a "has been". Why don't you tell the brass to stop going after the high dollar free agents and stick to the way you built your team in the 90's, by way of the farm system!!! Get a life!!

Adam Morrison is the Man

2005-12-10T18:01:00.000-05:00

Morrison scored 25 today against Oklahoma State and no shot was bigger in the game then the one with 2.5 seconds left on the clock. Gonzaga was down 62-61 with 9 seconds left and Adam Morrison took the ball the length of the court and bombed a three that kissed off the backboard and went in. The Zags won 64-62 and Morrison continues to show why many think he is the best caucasian player since Larry Bird.

Box Score: Gonzaga versus Oklahoma St

Pete Carroll Staying Put

2005-12-10T13:39:00.000-05:00

At least for now and he absolutely should stay with USC. Pete Carroll has created a dominant progam and is shooting for his third straight national championship. I think Pete made a smart decision by not entertaining the NFL again at this time because I sure do remember his NFL days and they were not pretty!

Duke vs Texas - #1 against #2

2005-12-10T13:28:00.000-05:00

This should be really exciting. It's not to often that you get such a powerhouse match up this early in the season, but today we do. Texas has looked extremely solid on all aspects of their game and to date Duke has not. The Blue Devils have basically played to the cailber of the team they were matched up against and it took a last second shot to win one of them. This game will totally live up to the hype and in the end Duke will prevail.

Soriano AKA Vagabond

2005-12-07T23:46:00.000-05:00

Why can't this man get any props? He is a perennial all star and yet no one wants to keep him on their squad. His glove is a little questionable yet his bat is extremely potent nonetheless tonight he was traded to the Washingtion Nationals for Brad Wilkerson and some bozos. I think something to consider is will this trade make either team significantly better and after one second of thought the answer is no. Alfonso Soriano

Don't FU@% with me

2005-12-07T23:27:00.000-05:00

That's exactly what Roger Clemens is saying to the Astros who pretty much dissed him by not offering arbitration. I can understand why, but would you mess with Roger Clemens? Too bad, Rogers Kid is in the Astros organization as a catcher and it would have been nice to see him throw to his son in spring training, oh well.

2005-12-07T23:05:00.000-05:00

Bush, Young and Leinart were invited to this weekend's shindig. These three young men were the clear cut star players, but no Brady Quinn? Sure he has next year to shine, but he played his ass of this year and deserves to go. I know we can all think back to previous Heisman announcements and said...what the H...or who the H is that??

Only In America

2005-12-06T21:40:00.000-05:00

Answer this for me, how can a pitcher who has never won more than 12 games in his career and has a life time e.r.a. near 4, get a 55 million dollar contract? It's subpar and AJ Burnett is overpaid. This signing is last year's Carl Pavano contract. Give me a break!

Grady Little Back from the Dead

2005-12-06T18:54:00.000-05:00

Just minutes ago the Dodgers announced they have hired Grady Little as their new manager. Grady was last seen as the manager for the Red Sox when they lost the 2003 ALCS to those damn Yankees. Grady did well with the Sox, but I'm not quite sure Los Angeles has the talent Boston had in 2003. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Word is out that Javon Walker has separated ties with controversial agent Drew Rosenhaus. If we remember back to earlier this year, Jevon Walker threatened to hold out because of Drew and then blew out his knee due to not working out with the Packers. My only hope is more players come to their senses and walk away from the human ass!

Blue Jays Making A Splash

2005-12-06T18:31:00.000-05:00

It seems the Jays and the Mets are trying to make the most noise this offseason. One week are signing young stud closer B.J. Ryan Toronto has now signed A.J. Burnett for five years 55 million. I truly respect what the Jays are trying to do, but can they really compete in the AL East with New York and Boston? NO!!!!

The Seattle Seahawks

2005-12-06T00:01:00.001-05:00

Has there been, in recent years, a quieter 10-2 team than the Seattle Seahawks? As they get ready to completely dismantle the Eagles, I ask the question, how far can this team go? We hear an awful lot about the Panthers, Bears and Giants, what about the Seahawks? They have the best record in the NFC. They've sucked in the playoffs in recent years and have been incredibly dissapointing. But they're 10-2, clinched their division and are in the drivers seat to a first round bye and possibly home field throughout. Holla!!

I like the Bengals, I don't like that they gave up almost 400 yards passing to a subpar QB but time will tell. They can really go deep in the Playoffs but the defense must play better. Bengals Rule

Big 12 Championship is Big Joke

2005-12-03T18:50:00.000-05:00

Texas beat Colorado today 70-3 in the conference championship. It is inexcusable for a game so important to be so one sided. The game today directly indicates just how weak the Big 12 was this year. I would be embarassed if I was a team in the Big 12 today unless of course you are Texas.

2005-12-03T15:53:00.000-05:00

Pete Rose has really come up in debate the last 15 years on if he should be a Hall of Famer or not. I really think that he's a scumbag and deserves everything he gets. He's a Hall of Famer statistically, but not as a person, as he continually lied to millions of people. Shoeless is the one who started everything with the White Sox World Series scandal back in 1919.

Lousiville Gator Bowl Bound BUT....

2005-11-28T19:43:00.000-05:00

The Cardinals will not have their starting quarterback Brian Brohm who tore a ligament in his knee against Syracuse this past Saturday. It will more than likely become even more frustrating for Louisville when it's announced they will face the Miami Hurricanes in the Gator Bowl. This is almost an expected ending to the Cardinals season since many sports experts predicted Lousiville to go undefeated this year and be in the BCS National Championship game. Those aspirations were dashed early on this season when the Cardinals were trashed by South Florida and then lost in a shootout to West Virginia. Louisville Cardinals

The poor Detroit Lions have one playoff win in 48 years and I sure don't see things changing anytime soon. Story: Steve Mariucci

Leftwich Out to Lunch

2005-11-27T20:44:00.000-05:00

The Jaguars won today against Arizona, but they lost their fearless leader for at least a month. Leftwich cracked a bone in his ankle on the very first play of the game and tried to play for only a few more before he was carted off the field. David Garrard filled in adequately, but certainly doesn't have the game experience Leftwich has gained to date. The Jags need all the wins they can get since the AFC playoff race is so tight and full of talent. Jacksonville Jaguars

Just Say No

Mr. Irvin! Michael has been arrested again on possession of drug paraphenalia today in Plano Texas. This man is one of the best wide receivers ever and actually is a charismatic figure for ESPN, but he simply can't stay out of trouble. At this time ESPN managment is deliberating on what to do with Michael, but don't be surprised if Michael Irvin goes the way of Rush Limbaugh! More importantly will this affect his potential to make the Hall of Fame? I doubt that, but it might take something that drastic for Michael to get straight. Michael Irvin

Cranky Chaney

2005-11-27T17:50:00.000-05:00

What else is new right? John Chaney has over his coaching career provided many opportunities to see his cranky personality. Today when his Temple Owls were up by 16 with a few minutes left at home someone from the crowd decided to throw an object on the court. This drew the ire of Chaney and he grabbed the court microphone and said it wasn't Temple's way to be seen as "idiots" and "stupid is forever" and "you can't change stupidity." On a positive note point guard Mardy Collins scored 19 points and had seven assists for the Temple Owls. Collins is the real deal and will be scouted at most every game this year by the NBA.

Florida State went down to "The Swamp" yesterday and got absolutely embarassed to the tune of 34-7. The Seminoles are the fourth perennial Top 25 team this year to fall from their normal inclusion in the rankings at some point this year. Oklahoma, Michigan and Tennessee all did earlier this year.

MLB Round Up

2005-11-25T23:34:00.000-05:00

Hey Peter, give me some friggin input!!! Guys the MLB is looking great for next year as my beloved Sox now have a stud in Beckett to go along with the Louisiana stud in Pappelbon, oh yes, the sox look good but their is still work to do. White Sox, WTF? Thome? Enough said. Great signing by the Jays, yah right, 5 years for Blow Job Ryan? Come on, he had one good year. Hey that's baseball and that's why I love it. I'm extremely surprised that George hasn't done anything thus far. But they are the Yankees and know how to make everybody's lives a living hell. Has anyone checked out Wolfman sports lately? It's pretty f...ing good.

New York Mets Facelift

2005-11-25T19:32:00.000-05:00

The Mets have already picked up Carlos Delgado and now are looking to add a new catcher to the squad. Mike Piazza is gone so the Mets have turned their attention to Ramon Hernandez of the Padres or Bengie Molina of the Angels. Either one would be a solid addition and if the Mets do land Manny Ramirez like Omar Minoya wants then the Mets will have a solid contender this coming year. New York Mets

Thome Traded to White Sox

2005-11-25T18:43:00.000-05:00

Does this mean the White Sox are worried about their ability to re-sign Paul Kornerko? Jim Thome has been traded to Chicago along with 22 million dollars and the Phillies get center fielder Aaron Rowand a minor league player and one to be named later. If Thome is back to his old self after his surgery last year then Chicago has just added a huge bat to their squad. Jim Thome

Steve Mariucci in Trouble

2005-11-25T18:33:00.000-05:00

I am a little stunned at this situation in Detroit. I realize the Lions are far from living up to the expectations people had for them coming into this season, but fire Mooch before it's even done? I think the Ford family should take a long hard look at president Matt Millen too and at least wait till the end of the year before making a decision. Steve has two more years on his contract after this year worth more than 10 million dollars. I can assure you if they do fire Mariucci he will land on his feet very soon with another NFL team.

There comes a time in one's life when you need to leave your family and take care of your "real" family. As sad as it may seem, the sports know it all has come to the conclusion that teaming up with another powerful source may be better than trying to do everything yourself, needless to say, I have a lot of thinking to do.......stay tuned.

You've Been Pittsnoggled

2005-11-21T20:54:00.000-05:00

That is what my man from West Virginia in the picture is bellowing. Normally that would be a bad thing if you weren't West Virginia, but West Virginia was Pittsnoggled this evening. Tonight in the semifinals of the Guardians Classic the Mountaineers almost took down #2 Texas. West Virginia was lead by Mike Gansey who scored 28 and Kevin Pittsnoggle missed the front end of two one and ones in the last 30 seconds that would have sealed the deal. Texas had four players in double figures lead by point guard Daniel Gibson who dropped 20, but LaMarcus Eldridge made an outstanding block on the final shot to save the win in a score of 76-75. Box Score: West Virginia Mountaineers

No More Chunky Soup

2005-11-21T20:30:00.000-05:00

This year at least. In what was to me the inevitable the Eagles have announced McNabb will have surgery for his sports hernia and is gone for the year. It is also thought that Lito Sheppard one of the starting cornerbacks for Philadelphia is also gone for the year. I can't help but think about the year after the Panthers made the Super Bowl and there were jinxed with injury after injury and think the same thing is happening to the Eagles. I have said it once and I will keep on saying it...turn out the light Philly the party is over! Donvan McNabb

Yo Chris, I will help you out, the players union will win and the Eagles will cut Owens WITH PAY the day after. What a Thanksgiving that will be for Mr. Owens.

In one of the deepest fields ever in the Thanksgiving extravaganza Michigan State whooped the host Chaminade and Gonzaga outlasted Maryland in the afternoon session of day one. Michigan State played around for a little while with Chaminade before blowing them out in the second half. Adam Morrison scored 25 to lead the Zags past the Terps. Everyone needs to watch Morrison each chance you get because the kid is the best caucasian player since Larry Bird...so put that in your pipe and smoke it! Summary: Gonzaga

You see, the B.O.E. has much love to spread around for fellow sports enthusiasts but the man to my right (with a little present next to ya) I want off the air immediately. I really need to take a poll and ask who the hell actually likes this guy. Stephen, you have NO talent and your jive talk is pissing the B.O.E. off.

Buckeyes Prevail

2005-11-19T16:21:00.000-05:00

Wow! What a game and what a tradition. Troy Smith pulls a houdini duck and dodge in the backfield and then threw a bullet to Gonzalez to put Ohio State into field goal range with less than a minute left down 19-21. After a couple of plays to set up a game winning field goal The Ohio State running back Pittman runs one in to win what many say is the biggest rivalry in all of college sports. Not only was the huge for the Buckeyes, but it also is for Stonecoldjz because another 5 star pick gets my pockets fatter. Box Score: Ohio State Buckeyes

NFL Playoffs

2005-11-19T00:17:00.000-05:00

We’ve passed the halfway mark in the NFL and many divisions, with the exception of the Colts, are in tight races for the finish. Here's a look at some NFL teams that may have struggled in the first half of the season, but might be ready to make a better second half run.

Lions: Stop the presses, Detroit scored 29 points! The Lions' victory over the Cardinals Sunday gave them some confidence. More importantly, they're getting healthy. The defense returned some key personnel up front, while WRs Roy Williams returned and caught 7 passes for 117 yards. The Lions aren't Super Bowl timber, but who is in the NFC? After all, Detroit plays in a weak division and could make a second half surge. Games against Minnesota, Green Bay and New Orleans will help.

Rams: Another team that catches a break by getting healthy. Getting QB Marc Bulger and WR Isaac Bruce back is a big plus, and St. Louis has that great home field edge. Their poor run defense is a problem, but the schedule is kind, with games against Cardinals, Texans, Vikings and 49ers coming up.

Patriots: New England had the toughest schedule in the NFL through the first eight games, and now faces the second easiest second half schedule. On Sunday, the Pats had a big win at Miami. DE Richard Seymour returned, which makes the defensive line much better, and the play of CB Ellis Hobbs was very good, bringing some help to what has been a horrendous secondary since S Rodney Harrison was lost for the year. They are very likely to go on a strong second-half run and easily win the weak AFC East. Once in the playoffs, anything can happen. And they still have QB Tom Brady, Adam Vinateri and Bill Belichick.

Chargers: Everything went right for this talented young team in 2004, and all the breaks seem to be going against them this year. Games against Buffalo, Miami and Oakland -- all at home -- are easy ones. The schedule is still very challenging, with games at Washington, Indy and Kansas City, before a home finale with Denver. This team certainly has the talent to get hot, but they’ve blown too many games, making their margin for slip-ups razor thin if they want a return trip to the playoffs.

Cowboys: Dallas takes on Philly Monday night, a game to which the Cowboys enter with a 5-3 record. When you realize they lost by 6 at Oakland and had two stunning last-second collapses to the Redskins and Seahawks, this team could very easily be 7-1 or even 8-0 with a few breaks. Note that Dallas is No. 5 in the NFL in total defense!

Vikings: Sunday’s thrilling upset of the NY Giants might lead to a memorable second-half surge by the Vikings (and make Mike Tice Comeback Coach of the Year). After all, veteran QB Brad Johnson came out of nowhere to lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl title just three seasons ago. OK, that's all baloney. I’m just seeing if you're awake. The Vikings are still a bad football team that got outgained by the Giants 405-137! They only won because of a defensive touchdown and two kick returns for TDs. Did you see Tice get flattened on the sidelines by a player rolling into him? It won’t be the last time Tice gets sacked -- probably by management when the season ends. That was just a wacky win which happens from time to time in the NFL. Minnesota will not be making a second half surge.
