Random Thought

Something big has been stuck on my mind and will always is men. Why do men do certain things in life? I've been talking to this guy for a while and I mean I'm not dumb, I see him with other chicks and I hear chicks talk; homie has flocks of groupies. When I tell him to keep his groupies in check, he says (like all guys do), " I don't have groupies or girls, they're all just friends, you're the only person I'm messing with." I don't know if dudes think that girls live under a rock and they don't know the game, but we do. Fellas most chicks are like this; if you're not my man and we're just messing around and nothing else, why do you feel the need to lie? Even though I'm not dating you, that would make me so mad to know that you're lieing to me for no reason. So fellas explain to me why do you lie for small things?

My Top Artists For the Summer

2010-07-24T17:32:00.000-07:00

Summer is in full affect and we all know the best thing about the summer is the music of course. We listen to all types of music that corresponds with our mood at the moment; love songs, depressed songs, party songs, hard core songs, etc. We also always have some top artists and songs that we always listen to on a daily bases. Like for instance, if I right now go on my IPod and look at my top 25 most played songs, this would be my list:

Pretty Wings - Maxwell

Part of the List - Ne-Yo

Make Me Over - Keyshia Cole

Green Light - Beyonce

Grub On - Trey Songz

Brand New - Trey Songz

La Tortura- Shakira

Upstairs - Trey Songz

Slow Junking - Young Steff

She Ain't My Girl - Trey Songz feat. Sammie

Your Heels - Day 26

Break Up To Make Up- Jeremih

Daddy's Home - Usher

Panty Droppa - Trey Songz

Neighbors Know My Name - Trey Songz

Drop It Low - Ester Dean feat. Chris Brown

Missing You - Trey Songz

Everything to Me - Monica

Broken Hearted Girl - Beyonce

Does He Do It- Trey Songz

Pretty Girl- Wale

Fed Up - DJ Khaled

If I Were A Boy - Beyonce

Yo Side of the Bed - Trey Songz

Yes I know I listen to a lot of Trey Songz lol, but who doesn't. Now if you check your 25 most played on your IPod, would you be surprised on what it had on it. My brother always told me that you can always tell who a person is by checking their 25 most played songs; I really wonder if that's true....

Anyways, besides those songs, I always enjoy listening to couple of artists and their albums that I think everybody should be rocking to on their I Pod also.

Starting with my ultimate favorite that if you don't already have him on your IPod then you

should just jump off a cliff ( I'm just kidding), Trey Songz. His new album which came out last year so it's not that new anymore, 'Ready' is still must have. It has baby maker songs and songs that you can really relate to, and of course the club banger 'Say Ahhh'. Also while rocking to 'Ready,' everybody needs to have the mix-tape 'Anticipation'. Trey released 'Anticipation' a couple of weeks before the album to have us "anticipating" for 'Ready'; which I must say it had a lot of us doing just that. My favorite songs on the album are 'Black Roses' and 'Yo Side of the Bed';when I first heard 'Yo Side of the Bed' I cried and I think I just fell right back into love with Trey Songz (which I never even fell out of love with him so yea). So, be sure yall cop that :).

**SN: Trey Songz will be going on tour with Monica called the Passion,Pain,Pleasure Tour ( just sounds very sexy like Trey doesn't it),starting in August, so be sure to cop some tickets. Go to

treysongz.com (or just click on the link) to check him out in a city near you.

Drizzy Drake just dropped his debut album earlier this summer titled 'Thank Me Later' which I must say that we surely did. It was the album that we all were

waiting for since like2008 from Drake and he did deliver. It has all the songs that we have been rocking to from Drake like 'Find Your Love' and 'Over'; my favorites on the album I must say are 'Fireworks' featuring Alicia Keys and 'Thank Me Now'. Drake has songs featuring Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, and The Dream. So, also if you don't have that make sure yall get the ASAP.

I'm happy to say that Eminem is back and in full affect. His new album is still on the top of the Billboard Charts and songs are just killer. 'Recovery' has like

song for almost everybody to relate to, and I think he really put his all on this one. My favorite song on the album would have to be Eminem's new song that is all over the radios 'Love the Way You Lie'; it's something that I can relate to so much it's amazing. This by far I believe Eminem's best album so go get it if you haven't yet.

Getting off of albums for a second now to tell yall about a mix-tape that I've been hooked on for

the past couple of weeks, 'Fan of a Fan' by Chris Brown and Tyga. Real good album, they even got everybody saying 'Deuces' which is also one of my ultimate favorite song off the mix-tape. It's a real hot mix-tape and it kinda shows Chris Brown in a more mature aspect I must say. You can download the mix-tape online :).

Through all the drama and bull that Rick Ross has been through this year, he has finally dropped his album 'Teflon Don'. Now I must say that I haven't copped the album yet, but

from what I've heard in my brother's car today, it's pretty good. It has a lot of people rocking and talking mad crazy about it. So while yall go and cop that, I'll be sure to go and cop it too.

Some other albums that yall should go and cop that I do love this summer are from B.O.B, Usher, Monica, and Wale. B.O.B. new album is called 'B.O.B. Present: The Adventure of Bobby Ray' which has my favorite song right 'Airplanes'. Usher new album titled 'Raymond vs. Raymond' really tops his last album thank

God. Wale's album 'Attention Deficit' still has me rocking to it til this day; hottest joints on the album to me are 'Freaks' and 'Pretty Girl'. Last but definitely not least, my girl Monica's album 'Still Standing' shows that she's back and she still got it; favorite song on the album of course is 'Everything To Me'. I just love her voice so much, I get chills when I hear her sing.

Some other artists that you should be rocking to on your IPod are Lady GaGa (cause we all go Gaga for some GaGa lol), Katy Perry, Pink, and Nicki Minaj (Cause it's Barbie Bitch!). Now you

can't go a single summer or day without listening to the beautiful Alicia Keys. She'll be gone for a while with a baby on the way, so we need to enjoy all the beautiful music that she has left us with so far. Lastly of course the new how ish on the block Mr. J. Cole. If you don't know who he is then you need to get up to date with this dude. He's like the next Drake. Check his new song out there 'Who Dat' and my favorite from 'Lights Please', they are some real bangers. I am sure yall will truly love this dude.

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed stated earlier this week that he will begin the season on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list which will keep him out for the first 6 games. If he stays on the PUP list when the season starts, his first game back will be against the Buffalo Bills on October 24. Reed had off-season hip surgery.

"I'm going to be on the PUP list for a minute, and I'm not letting them take me off like they did last time without telling me," Reed said Wednesday in an interview with 105.7 The Fan, according to the Times. "I'm just rehabbing. It's a slow process. I'm going to get out there when I feel good. I can't give you a date. I don't know."

Quarterback JaMarcus Russell has pleaded not guilty for possession of illegal drugs on Tuesday in Alabama.He has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, codeine syrup also known as sizzurp, lean, purple drank, whatever lol. Police has stated that he did not have prescriptions for them and that he was arrested on July 5th at his home during a undercover investigation; he was released on $25K bound.

The Oakland Raiders released Russell in May due to 3 very very disappointing seasons and also filed grievance on Russell to pay them back $9.55 million in which they paid him in advance for the 2010-2012 seasons.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens is unfortunately still a free agent and seeking for a team. Sad to say that I think he might as well just give up and find another day job.

Brett Favre still has not decided if he is coming back or not. Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress met with Favre but still has not set a deadline for his decision. Favre injured his ankle during the NFC Championship game and had surgery on it. He again is working out with Oak Grove High School near his home to see if he is ready for another season. So, don't anticipate a decision until maybe when pre-season is almost over.

Titans fans can finally take a breather, Chris Johnson will making it to training camp this season. Johnson will be receiving $2.5 million this season under his new revised contract.

NBA News

2010-07-22T11:20:00.000-07:00

New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul has requested a trade. He states that he wants tot go to a team that has a chance to win a title. On top of his list are the Orlando Magic, Portland Trailblazers, New York Knicks, LA Lakers, and the Dallas Mavericks; on top of his list are the New York Knicks who just signed Amar'e Stoudemire earlier this month. Paul fired his former agent earlier this off-season and hired LeBron James agents. Paul also stated that James' decision to go to Miami has really inspired him go to a team that already has the potential to win. Paul has two more years left on his contract so I personally don't think that this will happen any time soon.

Amar'e Stoudemire will not be trying out for the 2012 Olympics because of issues insuring his contract.

LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Dwyane Wade are set to visit Team USA for the Championship. All the players from the Redeem Team has all said no to play in the 2010 World Championship in Turkey. They all are still on the roster for the 2012 Olympic team. The roster has been cut from 22 to 20 and the boy Kevin Durant is on top of the leaders chart.

Tracy McGrady worked out for the Chicago Bull and are talks of signing with them. The only issue of the whole thing is T-Mac's health; the Bulls may not sign him due to health issues. The 31 year old is also in talks with the Clippers.

Guard Carlos Arroyo has agreed to sign with the Miami Heat and help them win the title. The Heat are soaring with sales in merchandises and tickets. Season starts in like 3 months.

NBA News

2010-07-21T09:58:00.000-07:00

LA Lakers center Andrew Bynum has pushed back his knee surgery for July 28. He suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during game 6 of the Playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder; he did miss a single Playoff game due to the injury. He has had the knee drained 3 times already, twice during the post season and once after the Lakers parade. Bynum says that he plan on working with the Lakers trainer after his surgery in LA and in Vancouver to get his core strength stronger so he can prevent more knee injuries in the near future.

Bynum has had a great season averaging 15 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Unfortunately the 22 year-old has missed more than 90 games in the three seasons. Hopefully after this surgery and training he won't have anymore knee injuries any time soon in the future.

This week on twitter forward Matt Barnes tweeted that he will sign with the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors were trying to do a sign and trade with Magic to make things official, but unfortunately it did not happen due to the fact the Magic could not give the money that Barnes wanted so the whole deal flopped. Now Barnes is back on looking for another team and still in the running for Barnes are the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, LA Lakers, and of course still the Toronto Raptors.

Barnes is a good player but he is too busy looking for the money instead of the wins. I guess to him if he wins a Championship along the way, then that's a bonus to him as long as his money is right. Barnes need to really chill out and let his game make the contract with the teams; when you play good teams will give you the contract that you deserve.

**P.S. to all the people that may think I'm hating, I'm not. I love Matt Barnes and I think that he's a really good player and I would love to have him on my team.

Even though Matt Barnes will not be coming back to Orlando next season, Magic fans should not worry at all. The Orlando Magic has went out and resigned guard J.J. Redick and acquired free agent forward Quentin Richardson.

The Miami Heat has finally signed Juwan Howard; he becomes the 12th player that Miami Heat has under contract this season and the 6th new face on the team. Howard said he thrilled that he finally gets to play with the Heat. For people that don't know, in 1997, the Miami Heat and Howard agreed to a 7 yr/ $100 million contract but was voided by the NBA because the Heat went over their salary cap.

So right now the Heat's new roster looks like this so far with Juwan Howard, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Joel Anthony, Jamaal Magloire, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and rookie Dexter Pittman, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers, and James Jones. The next player that the Heat wants to get is guard Carlos Arroyo who started in 35 games for the Heat last season. I just hope that the Heat also sign rookie Da'sean Butler who the Heat drafted with the 42nd overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft.

The New Big Three

2010-07-10T13:02:00.000-07:00

There's a new big three in town, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade. They all signed late last night and now the pen they signed with will be auctioned online. The contract has been set and LeBron and Bosh has signed a bigger contract than Wade. LeBron and Bosh contract are for 6 years and worth $110.1 million, while Wade's contract is 6 years and worth about $107.5 million.

LeBronsaid last night at the Welcome to Miami Party that it felt right to be wearing a Heat jersey and that he's going to show the world that the heat was on. He also has promised to bring Miami about like 7 titles; I'm just saying can we just start with 1? Bosh seems as if he just loves the city so much, he's been learning Spanish to role whit the big dogs out here in Miami; now he just needs to learn creole lol.

Now that the 3 KINGS signed their contract, the Heat must go out and finish signing others to complete the rest of the team. The Heat are now talking to Derek Fisher and they need to get Udonis Haslem back also. You can't have a Heat team without Miami native Udonis :( . Lastly, Eric Spoelstra will be Miami's head coach for next season and future; Pat Riley will not be coming back to coach, nobody wants Pat to come back and coach.

P.S. Cleveland I understand that it hurts so much to know that LeBron will not be playing for you guys next year, but grow up! It was going to happen eventually; he wants to win and unfortunately with Cleveland he didn't see it happening. Also when you hail someone as much as you guys did and put everything on his shoulders, he's going to leave to take the pressure off of him.

Personally I believe even though the Heat has LeBron, Wade, and Bosh they still have very big competition. The Lakers are still stronger and better than ever and the Chicago Bulls have been really pumping up their roster.

The Bulls just recently signed Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver while they still have Derek Rose and Joakim Noah. The Lakers have the same roster but are working to get back Fisher and recently signed Stave Blake. So, to get that title the Heat must beat the Bulls and Lakers. Lets see what happens :) .

NBA Free Agency Part 3

2010-07-09T08:30:00.000-07:00

As we all know unless you've been living under a rock, LeBron James is joining Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami. LeBron announced his choice last night on ESPN, which didn't make a lot of people happy. Miami fans of course were so excited about the news while other places, not so much. Knicks fans were very disappointed while Cavs fans took it way overboard. Cavs owner wrote a real long letter to the fans of Cleveland and wrote how he felt; fans were so mad that they started burning LeBron's jersey also.

Me being a Heat fan, I'm very excited but also sad because to afford Bosh, Wade, and James, the Heat had to trade Michael Beasley :(... it hurt so much to hear the news. I just hope Beasley comes back when his contract is over.

Now the Heat have to agree on new deals for each player and sign the rest of the team. The only person on the current roster is only Mario Chalmers. Also if you are currently living in Miami, the Heat will be having a party at the AAArena for free for all fans.

In other news, David Lee was traded to the Golden State Warriors for 6 yr/80 mill.

I will definitely keep yall posted on the whole signing deals with Wade, Bosh, and James.

MIAMI IS STILL WADE COUNTY!!!

NBA Free Agency Part 2

2010-07-07T11:47:00.000-07:00

From the last time I spoked about NBA free agency, so much has happened. I can say personally to my experience that this is the best off season in NBA History that I know of.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will be signing with the Miami tomorrow when all free agents are able to sign. Great news for me since of course I am a Heat fan and I wanted Wade to come back; now he's bringing a great player, Bosh with him to help him bring back the title in Miami. Bosh and Wade stated that this was the best possible decision that they could make for their career. Now they both have stated that they are willing to receive lesser money to bring a certain person down to Miami with them.

Today at 9 pm the most anticipated news in sports history will be announced; LeBron James will finally decide which team he will be going to. In the words of an analyst on ESPN (can't remember which) stated; "LeBron has asked 6 women to the alter and he will be telling 5 of them that they will have to marry another man." I honestly do believe that LeBron will be either going to the Knicks, Bulls, or Heat. With the Bulls, LeBron will be joining Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, and now Carlos Boozer who just agreed to sign with the Bulls also. Amar'e Stoudemire just signed a huge contract with the New York Knicks and of course the Knicks I believe are still in talks with David Lee. Of course the Miami Heat (my team), are about to sign not only Dwyane Wade but also Chris Bosh; with those three we all know it's gonna be a wrap and sorry Lakers but just hand us the title :). But we all must wait until tonight at 9 pm. Make sure y'all watch.

In other news, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have agreed to stay with the Celtics. Also Joe Johnson will agree to sign the max contract with the Atlanta Hawks. And finally like I said Dirk Nowitzki will be staying with the Dallas Mavericks. Jermaine O'Neal will be signing with the Celtics and will be leaving the great Miami Heat; good luck homie :).

Stepping out of free agency, Kevin Durant announced on twitter that he will be signing a 5 year extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I will still keep yall posted on the LeBron James news. Be sure to watch ESPN tonight at 9 pm to here for yourself where LeBron James will be playing next season; will it be Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, and the L.A. Clippers.

*Today is the official signing day for all free agents.

Chris Brown

2010-07-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

I'm been having this issue since the BET Award was over....

As we all know and most likely saw, Chris Brown killed it when he performed his tribute to Michael Jackson on Sunday. And we all saw when he burst into tears during his performance.

Now my issue is a lot of shows that I've seen like E! and TMZ all are saying it was a publicity stunt. All I gotta say to that is FU!!!!

Yes we know Chris Brown f*** up and most of us are really over it, and that was something we all were anticipating. So people stop hating and let this boy live his life already. We all make mistakes and he made one too he's human get over it. Rihanna moved on not let him move on. Besides even if he becomes big again or whatever, it's not gonna stop Rihanna from selling (it's like she has been anyways).

Chris Breezy did a great performance and that's all that matters. Don't be haters, be supporters :)

NBA Free Agency

2010-07-01T06:50:00.000-07:00

NBA Free Agency started today and now let the games begin!

This year's free agency list is one of the biggest in NBA history. Some players on the block are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, and Amar'e Stoudemire. Of course everything is revolving around what LeBron is going to do. During the past couple of weeks LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Johnson has all met together to discuss where they will be going.

LeBron said his decision will come sometimes around the week of July 5th and nothing longer (thank God). He will be talking to many teams in the next two days such as the Clippers, Bulls, Knicks, and of course the Cavaliers. I really do hope that he stays in Cleveland; everything he knows and loves technically lives in Cleveland. Also if the Cavaliers do sign Byron Scott as there head coach or any coach who was a former player, then LeBron really most likely stay since that's what he wants.

Dwyane Wade as we all know of course will stay in Miami, he's said it before and I'm confident he will. Thankfully the Heat has so much money now since we technically only have Beasley on contract right now, so they can afford another big name to play along Wade for next season. Pat Riley right now is talking to Boozer, Stoudemire, and Johnson to come down to Miami; I think he should also talk to Bosh. Bosh in Miami would be real big.

The Atlanta Hawk has offered Joe Johnson a contract that would be worth like $100 million. Most likely I see Johnson going back to Atlanta, which I don't see why. The Hawks still has Horford and Smith who killed it last season and are only getting better.

Now my issue with Stoudemire and Nowitzki is that I feel like they're doing this free agency thing just so they can get more money by the team that they're already in.

In other news, Paul Pierce has opted out of his contract because he wants a new and better contract with the Celtics. So the Celtics has to negotiate a contract with Pierce and Ray Allen who is also on the free agency list this season. Not to mention head coach Doc River most likely will be coming back for another season and miss his son play ball for his senior year. Did I mention his son his the high school basketball player in the state of Florida and his father has not seen him play not a single game.

This will be very interesting to see what happens and I pray that whatever Miami does, it does not involve losing Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, or Mario Chalmers in the process.

Yall know I will keep yall updated on twitter and on my blog :)

John Wooden

2010-06-07T12:40:00.000-07:00

As we all know we lost one of the greatest coaches in basketball history on Friday...John Wooden passed away at the age of 99. For people that don't know who Coach Wooden is (you should be ashamed) he was the former head coach of UCLA and won 10 NCAA Championships in 12 years. He is also inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame twice as a player in 1961 and as a coach in 1973. He has coached some of the greatest players that have ever played in the NBA such as Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003 (which is the highest honor for civilians). In 2006 he was recognized as one of the impact on college basketball and became a member of the founding class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame along with Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Dean Smith, and Dr. James Naismith.

Rick Reilly of ESPN wrote; "He never made more than $35,000 a year salary (not including camps and speaking engagements), including 1975, the year he won his 10th national championship, and never asked for a raise."

Every February 29, UCLA celebrates John Wooden Day...I think that should be a national day personally (Obama make that happen).

So as we lost a great coach, we will never forget his legacy as one of the...well the greatest coach in college basketball history.

"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful." - John Wooden (1910-2010)

Final Four

2010-04-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

Today the Final Four finally begins.. this is something I've been since like forever. This is my first year actually being into college ball and this season didn't disappoint. March Madness has been a real madness this year.

To sum it up really simple, everybody believed that Kansas was going to win it all, but they lost in the second round against Northern Iowa 97-99. After they lost most people, including me, thought that Kentucky would be next to win it all. Yet again no Kentucky loses in the Elite 8 against West Virginia 73-66. So now the teams that are left to compete in the Final Four are West Virginia, Duke, Baylor, and Michigan State.

Butler will be playing against Michigan State tonight at 6 and West Virginia will be playing against Duke tonight around 8:30.

Since my team to win Kentucky is out, I'm gonna go with who ever wins between West Virginia and Duke. For some reason I feel like I'm the only Duke fan that doesn't go to Duke or isn't and alumni. Between Butler and Michigan State, I really want Michigan State to win just cause I don't really like Baylor, they're really starting to annoy me personally. Also I would love for Michigan State to show them that just cause you're playing in your hometown doesn't mean that you're going to win.

So make sure yall check it out, tonight starting at 6 on CBS.

NBA MVP

2010-03-14T11:01:00.000-07:00

NBA season is almost over and the talks for MVP are in the works.

My nominees for MVP this year are: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Dwight Howard. A lot of people may not like my nominees, but these players have been really putting it in this season. LeBron James is the leading scorer and Cavs fans will agree with me, without LeBron the Cavs are really nothing. Kobe Bryant has been killing it with a broken finger and when you watch him, you would never know that his finger was broken; on top of that he's been playing since 1996, but he is still in his prime. Kevin Durant is the second leading scorer in the NBA and giving LeBron a run for his money; because of KD playing great basketball, the Thunder are in 5th place making it the first time in the Playoffs since like forever. Carmelo Anthony is 3rd for leading scorer and always plays to the fullest. Dwyane Wade whenever he plays, you know he puts his heart and soul out there. Last but not least Dwight Howard, he leads the league in most blocks and most steals and ever season he just gets more and more athletic.

They all are great but only one can win and my winner for MVP this season is of course LeBron Jame. LeBron has been really proving this year that he deserves the award, but I do believe that Kevin Durant is still giving him a run for his money. Every time I watch a Thunder game, I already know that KD will not disappoint. Almost every game KD scores 20+ this which is crazy and did I mention that the Oklahoma City Thunder are 5th place in the Western Conference.

After LeBron and KD it really doesn't matter who comes next but here is how I would rate them:

1. LeBron James

2. Kevin Durant

3. Kobe Bryant

4. Dwight Howard

5. Carmelo Anthony

6. Dwyane Wade

MVP is usually not announced until like the Conference Finals, so lets just sit and wait to see if my picks are correct or not.

What Should I Do

2010-03-08T13:53:00.000-08:00

Okay I know some people may get mad at me for talking about this but so what I need some opinions.

One of my best friend since like the sixth grade was very pissed off today about a situation, at first she didn't want to tell but please like she could keep anything away from me. Anyways she was telling me about this other girl who she is close to was supposedly raped by someone that I knew. I was shocked to hear this and I wanted to call the police and everything. She continued to tell me that when her father found out she called up the girl and asked if it was true because he was going to call the police. The girl was quick to say no it wasn't true and ever since then she doesn't answer my friends phone calls or text messages. Every time she sees him, she always runs the other way and tries to hide from him.

I was very pissed at first when I heard of this since I use to talk to him and it made me think like what if I continued to talk to him, would that have been me. While I was in class, I kept thinking about the situation and I started to not believe her more and more. I mean she's the type of girl that gets around (if you know what I mean), and they both do have history with each other. On top of that I did talk to the guy for almost a full year before I decided that it wasn't worth it and he was not that type of guy at all. It really makes me wonder if he changed from that time and now or is she just ling. On top of that he does have a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend.

I feel as if it was consensual, but then she realized what she did and I guess he didn't want to be with her and she was pissed about it and said he raped her...idk...Now I'm confused and frustrated about the whole situation and I don't know what to do about it. I feel as if I should go and talk to him and ask him what really happened. I know we don't talk at all, but I mean I still care for him. Then I feel as I should talk to someone and tell them about it. I'm very confused and I don't know what to do..what do yall think I should do...What would yall do if stuck in this situation.

My Dream Team

2010-03-03T14:39:00.000-08:00

So the other I was hanging out with my brother watching the Magic beat the Cavaliers..in which the boy Dwight Howard had another double-double with 22 points and 16 rebounds (GO DWIGHT!)...anyways while we were watching the game, we were talking about who we would like to be on our dream team. I thought long and hard ( since that game was played last month) and this would be my dream team as I think about it right now:

My starting five would be:

At point New Orleans Hornets Chris Paul, after Jason Kidd of course to me, Chris Paul is the best point guard. At guard L.A. Lakers Kobe Bryant, he's Kobe Bryant need I say more about him. At small forward Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James, again LeBron James really want me to go into details. Power forward Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony, he is one of my favorite players and he is naturally talented; if you see him play, he can play both NBA style and international style which is amazing. And last but surely not least at center Orlando Magic very own Dwight Howard, he's like the first center I have ever seen (in my short life) to be so athletic and of course he is now my favorite player; he's also just 24 and he just keeps getting better each year,and I always enjoy watching him play.

My bench players who are just as great as the starters are Miami Heat (LETS GO HEAT) Dwyane Wade, Wade would have been a starter of course, but a man name Kobe Bryant is still killing it in the league; Wade always gives his blood sweat and tears on the court when he plays (PLEASE DON'T LEAVE MIAMI). Toronto Raptors Chris Bosh, a lot of people out their may have never seen Bosh play or may think I am crazy, but Bosh is very talented and he is one of the greatest players out their right (don't believe watch him play some day). Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant, KD is crazy sick, he averages 29.8 points per and just dropped another 39 points against the Sacramento Kings; on top of all that, he is the future of the league and to me should be consider in the MVP talks this season and of course future years. Utah Jazz Deron Williams, behind Chris Paul (this is my opinion) he is the best point guard, he is very talented and like CP3, they know how to lead their team to victory.

Atlanta Hawks Al Horford, like KD he's also the future of the league and he is very talented; I've been watching him play since his college days with the Gators and to me, he's been getting better and better. Phoenix Suns Amar'e Stoudemire, Amar'e is one of those players that you would love to be on a team with because he is so passionate when he plays and you always see it in his eyes. Utah Jazz Carlos Boozer, when I was making this list, I tried to narrow it down, but I just couldn't take Boozer out; when I watch him play, I always feel as if he's giving it all and he wouldn't mind being back-up as long as he's winning.

Their were some players that I had to think very hard as to if I would actually want them on my team, but then after watching them play, they changed my mind completely. Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose, he's the future leader of his team and has so much talent and dedication which I would love on my team. Miami Heat Michael Beasley, no I didn't pick because he plays for my favorite team, I chose because when I see him play, he has so much talent and the potential to learn so much; when he stays out of trouble and puts his mind and heart into something, you know he can achieve it, and like Dwight, he has a sense of humor that will keep the mood happy ans positive. Sacramento Kings Tyreke Evans, Evans is the future like the others I said and of course he is Rookie of the Year this season; with Kevin Martin gone, Evans is the future leader of the kings just watch.

And last but not least, I know he's not in the NBA just yet, but he is extra extra talented. University of Kentucky John Wall, I mean I was never really into college basketball but watching John Wall play, I can't keep my eyes off the television. He is one of those players that if the rules didn't force him to go to college, he would be in the NBA right now killing it and doing his dance. He averages 22.1 points per game, 5.5 assists per game, and 5.2 rebound per game; and it wouldn't hurt that his team is outrageous with talent and have a great coach. If you never seen him play, trust me you would love to see him do his thing.

Now when it comes to head coaches, that's a whole different story; that would take me about forever to pick the right coach.Anyways, you know who my dream team would be, who would you pick?

Kevin Durant

2010-02-24T13:36:00.000-08:00

This may be the best season that Kevin Durant has had so far in his very very very short career in the NBA. It has been outrageous; KD has averaged about 31 points per game in February alone (and the month isn't even over yet), he originally averages 29.9 points per game this whole season making him the leading scorer this season. On top of leading the league in points, he is on a 29 games streak of scoring 25+ points; second in NBA history to do so in one season (Michael Jordan lead with 40 consecutive). He stats in an article with The Oklahoman that he doesn't care for the 25+ points streak, he cares more for a game winning streak. (check out http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/other_nba/view.bg?articleid=1235168&srvc=rss for the full story).

A lot of people may not agree with me on this, but I really do think that KD should be considered for MVP this season. I mean he's kind of like the Dwyane Wade of the team. Don't get me wrong, the Oklahoma City Thunder is a really good team (they are number 6 in the West and 10 in the league), but KD is a really big reason that they are up there. I'm not saying he is on top of his game just yet, but he's on his way. He has a lot more years ahead of him, this is just his 3rd year in the league. To think he's doing all of this in only his 3rd season, just imagine his future.

If he is not considered in the MVP race, then I will be very disappointed (even though LeBron will most likely win). I am really looking forward to see KD break MJ's record..Oh and I almost forgot, for all the people out there that thought KD can't shoot...he is the defending champ of H-O-R-S-E in the All-Star Weekend (you have to know how to shoot for that) and he is like I said the league's leading score and it's not from dunking or free throws (he's kind of too small to be dunking on everyone)

If you don't believe me, just check him out...If you don't know who he is (shame on you), still check him out.. number 35 for the Oklahoma City Thunder (formerly known as the Seattle Super Sonics...I know Seattle regretting what there decision right now).

All-Star Weekend

2010-02-12T12:45:00.000-08:00

Today is the beginning of the NBA All-Star Weekend, which also marks the half of the NBA season. This year it is in Dallas (as we all know), and will be the biggest All-Star Weekend ever. So, instead of it being in the Dallas Mavericks' arena, it will be taking place in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium which will take more than 90,000 fans. I wish I lived in Dallas right now just to see how that works out.

Anyways the schedule for the weekend has been released, and everything will kick-off tonight starting with the celebrity All-Star game at 7 on ESPN...after that, the Rookie vs; Sophomore game at 9 on TNT will begin (which so far the Sophomore are on a 7 game winning streak), during halftime, the dunk in will begin...for people that don't know what that is, well it is a competition that will decide who will get the final slot in the Slam Dunk Contest..which is a whole lot better than what they did last year. The two players that will compete in the dunk in are Eric Gordon of the Los Angeles Clippers and Demar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors..the winner of the dunk in will compete with Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace, and Shannon Brown in the Slam Dunk Contest (which I'm pissed cause Dwight Howard will not be competing this year).. back to the Rookie vs. Sophomore; the Rookie's roster consist of players suck as Brandon Jennings, Stephen Curry, Tyreke Evans, Omri Caspi, and DeJaun Blair ( pissed again cause my boy Ty Lawson didn't make it) and the Sophomore's roster consist of Michael Beasley, Derrick Rose, Brooke Lopez, Eric Gordon, Russel Westbrook, and O.J. Mayo.

Tomorrow which is my favorite from the All-Star Weekend is when most of all of the fun things take play such as H.O.R.S.E, Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Challenge, and my favorite the Slam Dunk Contest... I love the Slam Dunk Contest so much, it's really the main reason why I watch the NBA..so thank you Vince Carter :-) ... Every thing begins tomorrow at 5pm on TNT.

Then last but not least, Sunday raps everything up with the All-Star Game.. West vs. East, who will win..both sides are stacked with great players, but this year, the West will be playing without Kobe Bryant, and the East will be playing without Allen Iverson (still don't know why he was on the roster anyways)... the West roster consists of Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Amr'e Stoudemire, Kevin Durant.. Chris Paul and Brandon Roy are also among Kobe Bryant that will not play for the West this year due to injury...the East roster consists of Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Al Horford, Gerald Wallace..only Allen Iverson will be out. I'm going for the East this year, not only cause I'm from the East, but also because their roster is looking even large than the West.

I just know that this Valentine Day will be a great one for me, it's going to be BOMB!!! (in Dorell Wright's voice lol), so if you are going to watch the Winter Olympics or the Daytona 500 this weekend, make sure yall take a peep at the games this weekend on TNT :-)

SUPER BOWL

2010-02-04T14:29:00.000-08:00

This Sunday SUPER BOWL XLIV will finally begin... New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts in Miami. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

This is the Saints first Super Bowl EVER!!! Amazing huh, they truly deserve it including the city of New Orleans, they have been through so much since Katrina. It's amazing to see what a football team can do to a city... The Saints went from the AINTS and now back to the wonderful SAINTS again. Before Katrina hit, the Saints sucked, but after it hit and everybody started coming back, they kept going up and now they are finally in the Super Bowl. Since they are the underdogs in this game, I really want them to win...and because I can already see how that parade will go...it will make Mardi Gras look like s**t.

This is the Colts fourth time in the Super Bowl and a little fun fact, every time they have been to the Super Bowl, it was played in no other than Miami.I mean it really isn't a total shocker that they are in the Super Bowl this season, hello they have Peyton Manning and Pierre Garcon WOW he is going HAM out there right now...coming from a Division III school to being part of one of the best teams in the NFL is AMAZING!!!! But unfortunately, the Colts are going through some injury problems, but I don't think that will stop them from going all in...Since the Colts were here like 2 seasons ago, they already know how Miami works...they are staying in the same hotel as last time, and some of the players are still staying in the same room that they were in when they were here the last time...

As the days get closer the anticipation is driving me crazy...yea media day this season was whack, at least we know that the game shouldn't be whack (hopefully). Halftime performance is the Who.. I know half of the world may not even know who that is, but it's okay cause halftime is the time when everybody refills up on their foods and drinks and go to the toilet and what not lol...

My prediction is that the New Orleans Saints will beat the Indianapolis Colts to a very high scoring game...I know the only games the Colts lost this season were when the Colts benched their starters, but they never played against the Saints this season, so maybe the Saints defense can shut Peyton down the same way they shut down all the other great quarterbacks they played against during the playoffs...

Make sure yall check out the big game on Sunday, February 7, 2010 on CBS at around 6:20

NBA All-Star

2010-01-22T12:24:00.001-08:00

The NBA All-Star starters have been announced and one pick is very shocking:

Eastern Conference Starters:

Dwyane Wade

Allen Iverson (WTF)

LeBron James

Kevin Garnett

Dwight Howard

Western Conference Starters:

Kobe Bryant

Steve Nash

Tim Duncan

Carmelo Anthony

Amar'e Stoudemire

The West's starters are great but the East starters well ?... From all the good guards out there that should have been a starter instead of Iverson. I love Iverson, he is a future Hall of Famer, but he doesn't deserve to be a starter. He hasn't done anything yet this season, but go back to the 76ers that's all. This voting is why a lot of people think that the fans shouldn't get the chance to vote. You never get something like this in the Pro Bowl selection smh... Other than that, the East is looking pretty strong, just hope the reserves are better than this. Some of the East players that the coaches should consider are Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Shaq, Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, David Lee, Chris Bosh, Josh Smith, and Gerald Wallace. This is going to be very tough for the coaches to pick, I'm just happy that I won't be picking.

The West's starters are looking very strong, having the leading scorer in the NBA (Melo), the star in the best team in the NBA (Kobe), and a man who dominates in assists (Nash). Now if you think the starters are huge just think about the reserves that need to be chosen. JR. Smith, Chauncey Billups, Chris Kaman, Richard Jefferson, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Brandon Roy, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Zach Randolph, and Lamar Odom. Good luck :)

Besides the All-Star game (which will be on Valentines Day), the event that I always anticipate to watch, the event that made me fall in love with the NBA is the SLAM DUNK CONTEST. This year unfortunately :( Dwight Howard will not be competing, but Nate Robinson will be there to not disappoint us. Competing with Nate Robinson are Gerald Wallace and Shannon Brown. Now during the halftime of the Rookie vs. Sophomore game, Eric Gordon and DeMar DeRozan will be having a dunk off to see who will take the final spot of the Slam Dunk Contest. I think this way is better because last year's was just stupid; you had the fans pick the players not by how they could dunk, but by their other talents that had nothing to do with dunking. You know I will be watching the Rookie vs. Sophomore game to see who wins and how good they are.

This All-Star may be the biggest one ever. Not because of the players who will be there no, but it will be the place where they will be playing. This years All-Star Weekend will be in Dallas, Texas in the new Cowboys Stadium. The stadium will be holding more than 80,000 fans; that will be the most fans ever to be attending a basketball event. Which means more money for the NBA and Dallas, so its a win win situation for all.

When more information comes along for the All-Star Weekend, I will surely keep yall posted :)

I'm Proud to be a Haitian Dominican

2010-01-22T11:05:00.000-08:00

A lot of people never believe me when I tell them my background, they always want to tell me what I am. Even when they try to believe me, they keep asking me so many questions. So this will be the last time I explain my background:

I'm Dominican Haitian a.k.a Domaitian but I was born and raised in Miami. My father and his family was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and moved to the United States once he was 18 years old. My mother and her father was born in Haiti, but her mother was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. My mother moved to the United States when she was 20 years old and married. My parents have been in America for their whole adult life and raised my brother and I in America.

When people see my mother, they just think that she's a white woman who fell in love with a black man, not true. When people see my father, they call him a black man who fell in love with a white woman, again not true. Skin color has nothing to do with what a person is and what person background is. Just because my mother's skin color is white doesn't mean she is automatically a white person, her father had black skin. And just because my father's skin color is black doesn't mean he's from Africa.

I always here people around me speaking Spanish, Creole, or French and when I answer them back in their language, they have this shocked look on their face as if they never met a person that looks like knowing their language. Once I answer them, they always ask me what school did I learn these languages in. When I tell them that my family knew these languages and taught me when I was little, they get even shocked.

People for some reason are so naive that they think that I'm too light to be Haitian and too dark to be Hispanic. Now it seems like everybody I know has accepted the fact that I am Dominican, but they can't seem to accept the fact that I am also Haitian. People always say that they are no beautiful or successful Haitians out there; well hate to burst your happy little bubbles, but that is not true. People need to understand, just because you're Haitian, Dominican, Cuban, Puerto Rica, French, Indian, Mexican, or whatever, it doesn't define what you will be in the future.

So, for the last time I am Dominican Haitian, born and raised in Miami. I am proud of who I am and what I came from, and it will not define who I am or what I will become of myself in the future.

NFL: PLAYOFFS

2010-01-18T11:34:00.000-08:00

The NFL season is over, and the Playoffs have begun. The Wild Card is over and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 34-14, Jets beat the Bengals 24-14, Cardinals beat the Packers 51-45 OT, and Ravens beat the Patriots 33-14 to advance to the Divisional Finals. I twas crazy I think the number 14 as big in the Wild Card? lol... anyways, the best game of the Wild Card week would have to be of course to the Cardinals and the Packers; it started off a little whack I gotta say, but at the end of that game it became so interesting. It was a high scoring almost no defense game, the Cards really fought for that win I gotta say. The game that really got me mad was the Jests and Bengals game; the Bengals are way better than the Jets, but I guess the Jets defense really proved why they are the best defense in the league. And the Eagles, OMG! How do you lose against the Cowboys to weeks straight in a row, I was totally in shock. Not mad at all cause I knew that they wouldn't pass the Divisional Finals.

The Cardinals were the last to play in Wild Card and the first to play in the Divisional Finals, so we all really weren't shocked when they lost to the Saints 45-14. Two words I have to say REGGIE BUSH... Reggie KILLED IT during that game, I think that was the first time since his USC days that I could call him a running back. Kurt Warner did get hurt during the 2nd quarter but came back during the second half. Matt Leinart did get to play, and from what I saw Leinart do, I would have kept him in and kept Warner out. Sadly this may have been the last game that Warner will play. So if it is, Kurt you had a great career and even though you last your last game, you still left with a big bang. FUTURE HALL OF FAMER. P.S. please don't be like Brett Favre and say you're not coming back but then you do, that wouldn't be fair to Matt and you know that.

It seems like every home team that had a bye week won; Colts beat the Ravens 20-3, Vikings whooped the Cowboys 34-3, but only one team didn't win and I really wasn't surprised, Jets beat the Chargers 17-14. It was actually very shocking, not the Chargers lost, but that it was the most interesting game from them all. I'm still mad that the Jets are still here; don't get me wrong they are good, but they are not that good. They keep getting lucky and I just want them to lose already.

Now the Conference Championship is beginning and the NFC Finals is looking very interesting, the New Orleans Saints vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams are the truth and this may be a very high scoring game; they both have great defense but their offense are a whole lot better. If the Vikings lose, this may be Brett Favre's last game. I would tell you guys who I want to win, but I can't cause I like both teams and I want both of them to make it to the Playoffs, I just wish that they were both in different Conferences. Thankfully the best game will be on Sunday at 6:20, so that means everybody will be at home and not at church (LOVE THE LORD)... The other game will be the Indianapolis Colts. vs. the New York Jets, which will also be on Sunday at 3:00. Of course we all know who will win this game... sorry New York but the Colts will win. Yes you guys beat them in the regular season, but lets not forget THEY SAT ALL THERE GOOD PLAYERS!!! Jets were losing during the whole game until the Colts decided to sit all there players down, and then you guys finally won. Which means with there starters in, JETS WILL LOSE!!

The games will be on CBS and FOX. I can't wait to see how these games are going to end. I just want to see who are going to the SUPER BOWL already. Which don't forget SUPER BOWL is in Miami on February 7 and the Pro Bowl will also be in Miami on January 31.

Haiti

2010-01-16T11:55:00.000-08:00

So as we all know Haiti has gone through the worse earthquake ever and the death toll is estimated to be 50,000 + so far. There are more than 8 million people in Haiti right now that needs help. They are without food, water, a place to sleep, and medical attention. It hurts me to see this happening because not only adults are being killed and injured, but little kids and babies are being also. Being from a Haitian descent and having family still in Haiti just makes this whole situation even harder for me to hear and see.

Thankfully being from such a great country, U.S. has already responded to the disaster and are helping everybody in Haiti.I know a lot of you who read this may think that there is nothing that you can do, but there is always something you can do. The smallest things go a long way.

When going to the grocery store, you can always buy some extra water or non perishable foods. Also when going to the pharmacy, you can buy some first aid kits. When going through all those clothes that you don't wear or all the covers you never use, instead of keeping them there or throwing them away, just donate them. If you don't want to that, giving money will really help restore everything also. Here are some organizations you can donate some money to:

Red Cross www.redcross.org

Text Yele to 501501

UNICEF www.unicef.org

People please help the smallest things really help. God always appreciates the smallest things. Helping others will come back to you in a really good way... GOD BLESS

Tiger Woods

2009-12-08T12:35:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to give people my opinion on all of these Tiger Woods rumors. I think they are ridiculous; I mean damn he's human and every human makes mistakes. Besides, he's rich and famous, groupies are everywhere, so we really shouldn't be surprised that he cheated. He is the best player in golf right now and one of the richest person out there. From what I've heard, he's a very humble guy and knows how to work out his mistakes. Besides this is the first time we've heard his name out their in a bad way.Instead of us trying to put out what we think about him and believing everything that other people say, why don't we just wait and see what happens and what he has to say about. W e should never prejudge until we know the full truth.

Tiger Woods is still the best and without him, golf is nothing. Their ratings will well is going down and the sponsorships that golf tournaments get, will be gone. I mean fuck the marriage at least we know he's still a good father to his kids. I mean yea a marriage is sacred and whatever but if it doesn't work it doesn't work. As long as he's their for his kids, we shouldn't be so hard on him.

Rest In Peace Jasper Howard

2009-10-18T16:06:00.001-07:00

UCONN star conerback Jasper Howard was stabbed early Sunday morning and later passed away. Saturday, UCONN won against Louisville 38-25, where Jasper made 11 tackles, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. Saturday night, Jasper and friends went to a school dance in which someone pulled the fire alarm. While people were outside, a fight broke out, Jasper and another classmate were stabbed.

"I know this, he loved UCONN; he loved his teammates; he loved everything about this." Head coach Randy Edsall stated with his eyes red and welling with tears. Coach Edsall drove to the hospital and had to identify Jasper's body.

"As Jazz looks down on us, I can promise him and his family, that son or daughter will have 105 uncles. And we will do what it takes to not get through this, but to grow from it." Punter and team captain Desi Cullen stated.

Jasper was the first person in his family to go to college and was working hard to get into the NFL. Born in Miami, he has talked about his hard living and how his mother had to work multiple jobs to take care of him and his siblings. The even sad part is that he was going to become a father in which he and the team were excited about.

Jasper made a big play Saturday for the win, he forced a fumble just when Louisville was about to score. After the game, Jasper who led the Big East in punt returns last season, spoke to the AP about the big play.

"I felt my hand go on the ball and I felt that I had a chance to get it out. I just stripped it out. It was a big play. We needed it."

The school has schedule for Jasper mother and two teen sisters to come to Connecticut. Jasper Howard was only 20 years-old. :(

Police still have no suspects and still have not identified the other victim in this case. If you have any information, please contact Connecticut Police at 860-486-4800.

Rest In Peace Jasper Howard, you will be always loved and missed.

Stafon Johnson

2009-10-15T13:45:00.001-07:00

USC running back Stafon Johnson was finally released from the hospital. Before leaving the hospital Stafon's doctors, mother, and other family members, had a press conference. Without any hesitation, he gave the cameras a smile. Stafon's mother said that she is happy he is okay and that he is working hard to get back to being normal. She also started tearing up with Stafon when she was talking about the USC fans and organization:

"They sent everything you can possibly think to show Stafon the love, and that meant the world to get us to go along with that process."

Stafon's uncle, Kreg Anderson, read a letter written by Stafon:

"I am just filled with joy, as if I am graduating from one stage of life and on to the next obstacles. I greatly appreciate everything, and at this point, everything counts...This is not the end of anything. This is the beginning of things to come. I'll be back soon. We are fighting on."

Doctors do not know when he will be able to speak; his right vocal cord was torn away from its mooring, and his larynx was separated. When asking the doctors when Stafon will be able to play again, the doctor said that it really depends on Stafon.

"I don't think any physician can tell a player of they're going to play again."

When the doctor was talking, Stafon wrote another message that his mother later read. It had his twitter account and it had a message to his teammate for the game at Notre Dame:

"FIGHT ON. BEAT THE IRISH!"

If you want to follow Stafon Johnson on twitter and show some love, follow him at http://twitter.com/stafon13 ... and for all the facebook people out there be his friend at http://www.facebook.com/people/Stafon-Johnson/3432906 :)

P.S. Stafon if you ever read this..good luck and hope to see you soon on the football field :) Love ya and get well soon.

College Football News

2009-10-05T12:27:00.000-07:00

Yet again another great college football weekend, also some more top upsets. This week was the first week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month or how I like to say it Cancer Awareness Month. It started with some great news for the Boston College Football team and fans; junior linebacker, Mark Herzlich was diagnose with cancer. In May, he came out and said that he had Ewing's Sarcoma, which is a malignant tumor that is found in the bone or soft tissue. Then on Saturday during College Game day on ESPN, Mark came out and said that the doctors are 99% sure that he is cancer free. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is like one the best stories ever this week. In honor of the news, Boston College beat Florida State 28-21.

The Miami Hurricanes played their 4th ranked team this week against the Oklahoma Sooners, it was a great game I must add. Hurricanes QB Jacory Harris had 2 interception in the first half, which was just awful, I honestly thought that they were going to lose the game with all those mistakes the offense was making. Thankfully, the Canes defense was on point keeping the Sooners out of the end zone. Second half came and the Canes were back making touchdowns and winning the game 21-20.

Here are some of the scores from Saturday's games:

Alabama 38 Kentucky 20
LSU 20 Georgia 13
UC Davis 16 Boise State 34
Virginia Tech 34 Duke 26
USC 30 California 3
Oklahoma 20 Miami (FL) 21
Ohio State 33 Indiana 14
Michigan 20 Michigan State 26
Georgia Tech 42 Mississippi State 31

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom tie the knot

2009-09-28T11:39:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Lamar and Khloe Odom getting married yesterday in front of a star studded 250 guests. Despite dating for only 3 weeks they have officially tied the knot and I am so happy for them. The wedding was rumored to be around $1 million, but I was told that E! payed for everything and of course they filmed everything. I wish someone would pay for my wedding when I get married. Some people believe that the marriage is only for publicity, but I do believe that they got married because they fell in love. I don't really see Lamar Odom as that type of guy looking for publicity, hell he plays for the Lakers. I'm also happy that Khloe has found a man that she can trust and that she doesn't think is as she says 'full of shit'.

Hell who would ave thought that Khloe Kardashian was going to get married before Kim or Kourtney; shocking huh. I guess her mom will finally be off of her back and hop on someone else' back about marriage.

Anyways the guest list for the party was star studded. It looked like an award show, I guess that's what happens when two celebs get married. The guest list included Kobe and Vanessa Bryant, Derek Fisher, Lala Vasquez, Luke Walton, Ron Artest, Baron Davis, Phil Nickelson, Suger Ray Leonard, Babyface, Kenny Smith, and others.

I only wish Khloe and Lamar the best and hope that it lasts longer than anyone expects it to. I just hope Khloe isn't bad luck and the Lakers start losing this season. GO LAKERS!!!!

Week 4 NFL Schedule

2009-09-28T11:28:00.000-07:00

Week 3 of the NFL season was a very interesting week, from the Lions winning their first game since 2007 to Brett Favre throwing the winning touchdown pass to Lewis.

Here is the schedule to week 4:

Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears

It's the end of another week in football, only one more week before the first quarter of the NFL season is over. Week 3 has had some very interesting games and plays, including some more injury reports to add on the already long list:

Michael Vick has finally been reinstated in the NFL and yesterday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs has made it official. Vick was on the field for 11 plays, which included 7 handoffs for 30 yards.

"I think I played fairly well. I made good decisions with the plays I had. I missed one ball across the middle. I think I could have hit that. i have to make sure I keep my arm warm on the sideline so when I go in there I am not cold. My focus was to be smart and not turn the ball over." Vick stated after the game.

Just to see Vick's face yesterday, he looked like a kid in a candy store. I'm happy that he's back and unlike Pacman Jones, we know he will stay out of trouble. Also the Eagles did win against the Chiefs 34-14 and Kolb actually didn't suck this week. The Eagles are on a bye week for week 4 and McNabb will most likely be back for week 5.

Rookie Mark Sanchez is killing it in New York right now. He helped lead the Jets to another victory making them 3-0. Sanchez threw for two touchdown passes in a 24-17 victory against over the Titans. Sanchez has become the first rookie QB to start a season and win his first three games. Sadly the Titans being the best team last season has not even won a single game this season yet. I think this is the time that Coach Fisher needs to put Vince Young back in, just saying.

At least being 0-3 is better than losing against the worst team in the NFL. The Detroit Lions has finally won their first game since 2007, beating the Redskins 19-14. Sadly Detroit fans in Detroit couldn't watch the game and see their team win since they had a BLACKOUT! That's what they get for not having confidence in their team and going to see them play. So Congrats to all the Lions fans that went to the game and saw rookie Matt Stafford lead your team to your first victory since 2007.

Redskins head coach Jim Zorn should be lucky that if they fired him right now, they are losing coaches for three positions. But, it's not all Zorn's fault, it really isn't; you have to look at the GM also, he just buys players not giving the team chance to have chemistry. Unlike basketball, football you really need chemistry to win games and the Redskins has none. Also Campbell is not ready to be a starting QB, he's a good player but he's just not ready. Hopefully they could recuperate next week.

Shout out to Brett Favre with that last second touchdown throw to Greg Lewis. It was the best play of the week I must say. That touchdown helped the Vikings beat the 49ers 27-24, making the Vikings another undefeated team right now. Also in the game, Favre went in for a block, who would have thought he would do that now a days as old as he is. I think Favre with the Vikings is a really good look for him right now. Just wish it happened last season and earlier instead making all of us wait. PUNK!

Here is the remainder of the scores from Sunday:

Packers 36, Rams 17
Patriots 26, Falcons 10
Lions 19, Redskins 14
Vikings 27, 42ers 24
Jets 24, Titans 17
Eagles 34, Chiefs 14

Detroit Lions Win First Game Since 2007

2009-09-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

The Detroit Lions has finally won their first game since 2007 today against the Washington Redskins 19-14. Congrats to all the Lions fans and so sad to all the Redskins fans. Being a Redskins fan, I am very dissapointed in them right now, how do you lose against the worst team in the NFL?

If I was the coach of that team, forget your day off, I will work each player until they cant be worked anymore. They are so whack right now, the Redskins should have went for Jay Cutler instead of keeping Jason Cambell. Cambell has not done anything in the past seasons he has been here to impress me or to even keep him on the team. The running backs haven't even done crap neither, I mean what happened to the old Clinton Portis? The one that would rush threw anything, he need to come back ASAP. Lets not get started on the receivers; THEY SUCK! Redskins need taller receivers, well let me rephrase that, they need taller veteran receivers. When Plaxico Burress comes back, don't hesitate just sign him.

I can't really say anything about the defense but, HOW THE HELL DO YOU LET THE LIONS SCORE ON YOU? You guys just paid so much money for Albert Haynesworth, what you thought he could only make the defense better? I think not, it takes the whole defense to make plays not just one player. PUNK! Yall lucky I aint the GM cause if I was, coach Zorn bye, offensive coordinator bye, defensive coordinator on thin ice. I would be cutting players from left to right and bringing in new players. UGH Redskins yall just make me sick.

Anyways, congrats to the Lions winning their first game since 2007. Congrats to Matthew Stafford for winning his first game in the NFL. Now Lions fan can say that they wont be defeated two years in a row. I know in Detroit they are celebrating like they won the Super Bowl.lol.

***Redskins are officially off my favorite teams list until further notice.

It's the end of another college football week and the standing has changed yet again. Still on top is the Florida Gators of course winning yet again against University of Kentucky 47-7. On a scary note, Florida QB Tim Tebow, got a concussion in the 3rd quarter keeping him out for the rest of the game. This injury will result in a doctor allowing him to play instead of Tim or the coach saying it's okay; but Gator fans no need to worry because your next game is not until 2 weeks, so Tim has enough time to get better.

Many teams in the top 10 ranking this week lost; Penn State, University of Miami, Mississippi, and California. Other teams that were not ranked, has been ranked this week; Oregon, Iowa, and Georgia Tech.

MICHAEL BEASLEY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-21T13:24:00.000-07:00

Today was the first day back for Michael Beasley to the Heat camp. This is like the best day to me, I've been waiting forever for this day to come. For people that didn't know where he was for the past month that have been living under a rock, he went to a rehab in Houston, Texas to address a drug problem that he was facing.

Now that is over and he is back, the best thing about all of this, is that the Heat never gave up on him no matter what. Coach Eric Spoelstra and other coaches went to visit Michael while in rehab and working with him.

"We want to bring him back to the family, bring him back in here. We're 100 percent behind him. We've invested in him, not just financially but emotionally. We've spent a great deal of time with him this summer, trying to develop him on the court but also off the court. He's ready. He was excited to be back here. We have great structure here within the franchise and I think what the NBA and everybody saw is that we're 100 percent behind him. We are with him every step of the way and we're expecting great things from him this year." stated by coach Spoelstra.

Michael was not available for comment Monday. No specifics about his treatment have been released, with either the Heat and the people close to Michael citing privacy concerns. He will be with the team when training camp opens officially on Tuesday, September 29. Other players kept in touch with him during the past month through text messages and Twitter.

"I have no concern at all. He's working out,he's staying in shape, he's keeping himself sharp. It's not like he doesn't know the plays and with Beas, if all else fails, he'll shoot it. So he'll be fine when he gets back. stated by Heat forward and captain Udonis Haslem.

Through everything that Michael has been through, team president Pat Riley, coach Spoelstra, and many teammates have stated that Mike is still valued. no matter what others think about him (haters), the Heat still has his back 100 percent of the way. Can I say that this is one of the best organization in the NBA that will always be there for you.

During the summer coach Spoelstra said that Mike was filled with plenty of on-court 'work development.' Before going to Houston, he spent about two months working with the Heat. Since the end of last season, he has gotten faster and added 10 pounds of muscle while maintaining a low body fat. H e also has already taken a team conditioning test and 'blew it away....he's in phenomenal shape.' YEA BUDDY!!!

"Physically, you'll see he looks different, He's just bigger. When you talk about a guy who's that talented, and then you really start to develop the fundamentals and the details of his game, you see dramatic improvement in a short period of time. That's exciting." coach Spoelstra.

The Heat are planning to ask Mike to play bigger roles also. I guess that trip to rehab only helped to make him better,and unlike some people who go to rehab, it ended for the better and not the worse for him. I'm just so happy that he is back. I miss his playful smile and how you can tell he is having fun on the court with his gorgeous green eyes (can't lie, I have the biggest crush on that man lol..sshhhh don't say anything).

WELCOME BACK MICHAEL!!!!!! :)

To all the haters out there also, the tatt is still sexy and Beas still is the best.. HATERS!!

Touchy Subject: Close To My Heart

2009-09-19T12:09:00.000-07:00

I know that this has nothing to do with sports or music or whatever, but this is something that is dear to my heart. It is sad to say that parents are sending their kids to school thinking that it is safe but then not knowing if they are coming home safe or even alive.

In the past week, Miami has had multiple incidents in which kids are bringing weapons to school. So far about 8-9 students have been arrested so far. Sadly one student has died and another in stable condition.

Here is some stories:

In a high school on Tuesday, two students 17 year-old Juan Carlos Rivera and 17 year-old Andy Rodriguez, got into an altercation which led to a fight, which then led into a fight. During the fight, Rodriguez pulled out a knife and stabbed Rivera 3 times; 1 in the upper back, 1 in his chest, and 1 to the kidneys. After Rodriguez ran off leaving Rivera on floor to die. Sadly many kids were out there just seeing him die slowly and painfully. You want to know why they fought, for a girl. The saddest thing is that Rivera came to America 5 months ago and living with his grandmother and uncle. His mother had to fight with the government in Cuba to allow her to come here and bury her own son. A mother has not seen her son in 5 months and now the last she will see him is dead.

On Thursday, police has cracked down on 7 different schools arresting kids with guns, knives, and tazers, but don't think it's only high school, no middle school students, even elementary.

On Friday, shots were fired at another high school in a bathroom. This one was more scary just because I was there. When a teacher went to the restroom to see what had happened, he found the gun and accidentally shot another round. The sad part of it all is that, the cops still do not know who it was. But not only did they find one gun, they found two. Two guns and not knowing who they belong to or why were they brought to school.

Last but not least, also on Friday, two middle school kids got into a fight at a park for I don't know what reason, and one pulled out a very very large knife. Did I mention they are only 12 year-old and 13 year-old boys. The 12 year-old pulls out a knife and stabs the 13 year-old in the back and also injuring himself with it. The poor boy was airlifted to the hospital with the knife still stuck to his back. Luckily the boy is in stable condition. The sad thing in this is that a little boy will be charged with attempted murder.

Kids are losing there futures each and everyday, either by going to jail or by getting killed. The thing about it is that you can't blame the schools or the parents, because if a child wants to carry a weapon they will. I blame whom ever is giving these kids these weapons. But, you can blame the parents if they are leaving their weapons out in the open for they kids to just go out and take it. The sad thing about it is that this is not over yet in Miami, I guarantee you that.

R.I.P Juan Carlos Rivera...you will truly be missed :(

Kanye West

2009-09-19T11:51:00.000-07:00

As we all know or saw..Kanye West made an ass of himself at the VMA. I've been wanting to keep this to myself, but I can't anymore.

Yes we all know what Kanye did was heartless and a dick move, but lets be real with ourselves, it's not the first time he has done this. Hello we all remember when Hurricane Katrina hit and Kanye was on live television saying (and you can't forget), 'GEORGE BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE.' Or when he didn't win during the VMA and Grammy's he said he was robbed and that he was not coming back ( that was during the VMA). So why are we shock that he did this again. He's and arrogant man and we know this. I just can't stand how everybody wants to strike his music and all that other crap. We all know that Kanye is one of the best rappers out right now, so once he drops something good, we all are going to go out and buy it anyways.

Besides we all know that he does most of this because we allow him to. We never really say anything and the people on TV never stops him. So, he's not going to stop until the people around him stops condoning it and the executives on TV tells him enough is enough. I'm not saying that what he did wasn't wrong, but that he was expressing his opinion, just at the wrong time. I mean I totally agree with him that Beyonce had the best video of all time, hell she's the best,and we all know that; a simple award is not going to change that. At least he apologises and knows that what he did was wrong. So, that means he is on his way of changing a little bit..lol.

Ohh and Shout out to Beyonce for being the bigger person in the whole thing. And that is why she the best and will be the best for a long time. :)

Do you guys remember former Detroit Lions Charles Rogers who got arrested and fucked up his NFL career and went to rehab. Do you remember when he was on Outside The Lines and said he was ready to change and become a better man. Well all that went down the drain when the idiot got arrested and charged on Thursday for driving while intoxicated and not having a valid driver's license; which is a 93 day misdemeanors. Novi police were called around 2 p.m. Wednesday, where cops said Rogers was found 'unresponsive' behind the wheel that was running and in gear. Police reported in a statement on Thursday that they smelled liquor on his breath, and he also failed the sobriety test. He failed to take a Breathalyzer test, and his blood was taken after a judge signed a warrant.

People like Charles just makes me sick. You do something wrong, you go on TV or whatever and promise to change. You then get a chance from society and then you go and mess it up doing something so dumb. They say that they learned from the past. Well if you did, then why are you going out and doing the same thing or something in the sort. Just reminds me of Adam Pacman Jones, you get so much chances but you just spit in our faces. Whatever he gets right now as punishment or in the future, he deserves. WHAT A PUNK.

NBA News

2009-09-19T09:36:00.000-07:00

It has been said that the 2009-2010 NBA season will be without the original referees that we see every season. The refs has rejected the NBA's new contract offer so the NBA will begin with replacements starting next week. A statement from the NBA this morning made it clear the lockout was under way:

"It's extremely disappointing that the NBRA has ignored the economic realities, rejected our offer and left us with no choice but to begin using replacement referees." Stated by executive vice president and general counsel Rick Buchanan.

Training camp was set to begin on Sunday, but was pushed back into sometimes next week to give the NBA time to get the replacements and to get them in New Jersey. The league has began contacting replacements last Wednesday, the day after the last meeting with commissioner David Stern, which he abruptly ended because he the officials reneged on a previously agreed to proposal.

The contract between the NBA and the officials expired September 1, and the sides has been trying to reach a new two-year deal. They agreed on salaries, which would have held steady this year and would have given the refs an increase the second year, but the union balked at the league's attempt to change retirement benefits.

The first preseason game in on October 1, in Utah. The last time the NBA has used replacement refs was in the 1995-1196 season. Lets just hope the everything goes well. I can never go without a season with no NBA.

The rumor has it that LeBron James is not going anywhere when his contract is over.

While he was out signing doing his book signing in Cleveland,a fan screamed 'DON'T LEAVE US, MAN!' And LeBron said he ain't leaving. Just to keep it short and simple, I wont believe it until I here he signed an extension. Until then, Cleveland get the oxygen mask ready.

Delonte West

2009-09-19T08:54:00.000-07:00

So it's been a good minute since I last posted a story and I will tell there has been a lot of interesting things that has happened in the past couple of days.

Delonte Delonte Delonte...Delonte West was arrested Thursday night for speeding on his motorcycle and carrying loaded guns. He was just carrying one gun, no he had three guns, and just hearing where he had them and what type of guns makes this story interesting. So here it is; Delonte had a Beretta 9mm in his waist band, a Ruger .357 strapped to his leg, and a Remington 870 shotgun in a guitar case slung to his back. Sounds like to me he was ready for war, don't it?

Delonte was in Maryland traveling north on the Beltway in a three-wheeled motorcycle called a Cam-Am Spyder when he cut off an officer near Route 214,The cops pulled over Delonte for making an unsafe lane change, and when the cops approached the motorcycle, Delonte told him that he had a handgun in on his waist. It made the cops take precaution and call for backup, after searching him they found the other guns.

The cops still do not know why or where Delonte was heading with all that guns or why he was even in that area. When speaking to Delonte's father, Demitri West, he said that Delonte was always protecting himself and always looking behind his back. He also said that Delonte was always looking out for specific people and because he was concerned of his well-being as a high-profile athlete.

All I have to say is, first and for most, Delonte West is not all that big. He is usually known as that ghetto white boy who plays with the Cleveland Cavaliers and likes KFC. I think maybe he heard his girl was creeping with another man and so he was going over there to maybe scare the crap out of her. Well whatever he was doing, it was a dumb a really dumb thing to do. But, with all jokes aside, Delonte has been facing some depression moods since childhood and has been taking medication and going to counseling for it. Maybe he stop taking them and due to that, it has made him very paranoid. In whatever case, I just hope that he is okay and he can work through things. I just hate seeing players or people who is getting to their highest moment of their life and ruin it with something stupid.

R.I.P William 'Skipper' Beck

2009-09-12T13:55:00.000-07:00

September 11, 2009, for us we are remembering the ones that we lost in September 11, 2001. But for the Charlotte Bobcats and the Beck family, they are mourning the lost of their co-owner William 'Skipper' Beck. Beck died Friday in a plane crash around 7:15 AM at a local airport in South Carolina, just across the state line from Charlotte. The York County coroner and the Federal Aviation Administration say Beck was piloting the aircraft and wad the only person aboard the Cirrus SR22. He was 49.

Witnesses say the plane returned shortly after taking off but then crashed as it tried to land and caught on fire. An Internet flight tracking site says that the plane flew from New Jersey to Rock Hill on Wednesday.

On the day that one of his co-workers is getting inducted to the Hall of Fame, Beck passes away. They are still now answers into what happened that caused the plane to crash and catch fire.

Here is a statement from majority owner Robert L. Johnson:

"The entire Bobcats Sports & Entertainment family mourns the loss of our partner and friend Skipper Beck. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. Skipper loved basketball and was instrumental in bringing the Bobcats to Charlotte. As an owner he was without question the Bobcats greatest fan. We will miss him at courtside."

Rest in Peace Skipper, you will truly be missed.

NBA Hall of Fame

2009-09-12T12:44:00.000-07:00

Last night the NBA Hall of Fame took place. the people who were inducted were of Michael Jordan, David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan, and C. Vivian Stringer.

Here is a little history on each person if you don't know:

Michael Jordan, as what people would call him, the BEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. He has 6 rings with the Chicago Bulls, but to me that's not what makes it so interesting. He won the first 3 in a row from 1991-1993. He than retired when his father passed away in 1994. After 18 months being retired, he came back to Chicago and won 3 more titles in a row from 1995-1998; all of those Finals, he was Finals MVP.. He then retired for a second time in 1999, and came back in 2003 as a Washington Wizards, and was still good. During his career, he has 32,292 points, 6,672 rebounds, and 5,633 assists. He was also NBA MVP for 5 years in 1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, and in 1998. He won the Slam Dunk Contest twice in 1987 and 1989. Need anymore cause I can go all day.

David Robinson, nicknamed 'The Admirable', was drafted to the San Antonio Spurs in 1989, helping them become one the greatest teams in the NBA. He had 20, 790 points, 10,497 rebounds, and 2,954 blocks. He helped the Spurs win two NBA Finals in 1999 and 2003 and was league MVP in 2005. He also has been in the All-Star Game 10 times in 1990-1996, 1998, and 2000-2001. Not only was he good in the NBA, but in college he won Naismith College Player of the Year and the John R. Wooden Award in 1987.

John Stockton holds the career for most assists at 15,806 also the most career steals at 3,265. He also has been a 10 time NBA All-Star from 1989-1997 and 2000. He has been in the NBA Finals with the Utah Jazz but came up too short to the Chicago Bulls. His best career highlights came during game 6 in the Western Conference Finals in 1997. Stockton scored the last 9 points for the Jazz, and the buzzer-beating 3 point over Charles Barkley to send the Jazz to the first of two consecutive NBA Finals appearances.

* Did I mention Jordan, Robinson, and Stockton were all part of the Dream Team in the US Olympics.

Jerry Sloan, not only did he coach, but he played in the NBA. While playing, he finished with 10,571 points, 5,615 rebounds, and 1,925 assists. As a coach, he has 1137-751 record (as of the end of the 2008-2009 NBA season), making him the fourth all-time most-winning NBA coach. From his 1137 win, he collected the 1,000Th win against the Dallas Mavericks on December 11, 2006, beating them to 101-79. He is the only coach in NBA history to record 1,000 wins with the same team. He first coached the Chicago Bulls from 1979-1982 and now the Utah Jazz from 1988- continuing.

C. Vivian Stringer is the first coach in NCAA history to lead three different women's programs to the NCAA Final Four; Cheyney University of Pennsylvania in 1982, University of Iowa in 1993, and Rutgers in 2000 and 2007. She is the third winning est coach in women's basketball history. She was honored as the Naismith College Coach of the Year for women's basketball in 1993 and is also part of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.

After thinking about everything and this year being such a great induction, I was wondering about the future Hall of Farmer's. Here is a list of all the players that should be inducted; Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, Alonzo Mourning, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash. Also players that if continue to improve should also be in the Hall of Fame; LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Amar'e Stoudemire, Mario Chalmers, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, Joe Johnson, Allen Iverson, Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis. Can't wait to see who will be inducted in the Hall of Fame next year. :)

2009-09-12T12:14:00.001-07:00

This is the second week of College Football, and the rivalry games are just getting better and better. This week the USC Trojans will be playing against the OSU Buckeyes. Most people say that the Trojans will win and most say that the Buckeyes will win. I'm Hurricanes fan and the Buckeyes are one of our rivals, but I just love Terrelle Pryor a lot. Also the Trojans has a true freshmen as there starting QB, this is the first in a long time since this has happened, so it's kind of hard to say he can beat a good defense that the Buckeyes have.

Last week the Oklahoma Sooners lost there QB Sam Bradford to a third degree shoulder separation. It is said that he should be out for 2-4 weeks. Lets just hope that he is out until after the Miami Hurricanes play against them in week 4. (praying to GOD)

Back to this week's rival games; not only will USC and OSU head off, but Notre Dame and Michigan will also be playing tonight. Hate the guts out of Michigan so you know I am definitely be going for Notre Dame.

Since the beginning of college football, the AP rankings has changed drastically, here is the ranking as for today:

Florida
Texas
USC
Alabama
Oklahoma State
Mississippi
Penn State
Ohio State
Brigham Young
California
LSU
Boise State
Oklahoma
Virginia State
Georgia Tech
TCU
Utah
Notre Dame
North Carolina

Congratulations to Shawne Merriman, he will not be charged for battery and false imprisonment on former 'girlfriend' Tila Tequila. The DA dismissed the charges because there were insufficient evidence to the accusations. Tila will still be filing for a civil suit in this case. I just hope Shawne learned his lesson.

Kansas City Chiefs said it will be game time decision in which Matt Cassel will be playing or not for the opening game. Cassel has practiced all week but the decision is still 50-50. Cassel sprained his left knee during the third preseason game the Seattle Seahawks, he went back to practice the following Monday, but has been limited to drills. If Cassel doesn't play during the first game, head coach Todd Haley doesn't know who will be the starting QB; it will be between Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen. Whoever starts, don't expect the Chiefs' game plan to change at all.

Congrats to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals for selling out there first opening season game. They announced on Friday that they should out in time to avoid the local blackout. Usually team only get 72 hours to sell out before the game, but since the Labor Day Weekend, they got an extension. The Bengals distributed more than 1,000 tickets to local charities and military members. The Riaders have been given a 24 hour extension by the NFL to sell out tickets or there will be a local blackout. Which shouldn't matter since there first game of the season is on ESPN. The last time a season opener was blacked out locally was in 2004, the New Orleans Saints were hosting the Seattle Seahawks.

The Oakland Raiders gave Richard Seymour a letter stating that if he was not in the Raiders office in 5 days, then he would suspended for the remainder of the season without pay. News came in that Seymour will be in Oakland sometime today and could possibly be playing in the season opener on Monday against the San Diego Chargers. When talking to Seymour, he said the trade 'blindsided' him. Seymour said he made no contract demands as condition of him joining the Raiders, but he needed the time to settle a couple of personal issues; he wanted to make sure he knew where his family would be living during the season. He also stated the he has been in contact with the Raiders owner Al Davis and coach Tom Cable after the trade.

"I didn't demand anything to go there, I'm happy to go there, and I told them that. But me and my family have never been separated. This was a difficult transition.First of all, I was blindsided by this whole event. When you get blindsided, you should take a moment to gather your thoughts. I have a lot of personal issues more pressing than football."

Those issues include arranging for his wife and four children to move to South Carolina while he plans to live alone in Oakland during the season. Seymour also is the legal guardian of his 15 year-old cousin who was starting high school in Massachusetts.

The court has ruled that the Minnesota Vikings Pat and Kevin Williams will be able to play the whole entire 2009-2010 season until further notice. The courts will not be able to rule upon the case that is at hand until the season is over.

The first game of the season has kicked off already on Thursday, September 10. The Tennessee Titans took on the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Opening up with a banger going into overtime, but before I talk about this season game, I gotta talk about last seasons. The Titans bounced on the Steelers beating them 31-14. After and during the game, some of the Titans players stated stomping on the Terrible Towel. Now this year playing in Pittsburgh, the Steelers took back there dignity and won 13-10 in overtime. Not only did they win, but they lost a valuable player on their defense, Troy Polamalu. During the second quarter, Polamalu sprained his MCL and could possibly be out for 3-6 weeks.

Now in the spirits of opening season, here is the schedule for the remainder of the week:

Miami Dolphins @ Atlanta Falcons
Kansas City Chiefs @Baltimore Ravens
Philadelphia Eagles @ Carolina Panthers
Denver Broncos @ Cincinnati Bengals
Minnesota Vikings @ Cleveland Browns
New York Jets @ Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars @Indianapolis Colts
Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals
Washington Redskins @ New York Giants
St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders

Detroit Lions has announced that there starting quarterback will be rookie Matthew Stafford. I wonder how Daunte Culpepper feels about this. I think the only reason why he got the job is because of Daunte's foot injury and the other quarterback is injured also, so yea they had no choice.

Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini said he is not going to reveal the starting quarterback until the season starts. The starting position is between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson. Mangini said he doesn't want to reveal who it will be so it will make the other team's defensive coordinator won't have an advantage. He said it is tougher preparing for two players than preparing for one.

Tennessee Titans running back Lendale White said he is ready for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. He also said he can't until he runs all over them again. If you don't recall from last season, Lendale and several other Titans players, stomped on the Steelers' signature towel following a murking of 31-14. It would be sad if the Steelers lose the first game as defending Champs to the Titans 31-14 or something like that.

Brandon Marshall has been reinstated after being suspended for the two preseason games by the Denver Broncos. Let's just hope he has learned from his mistakes and just shut up and play. All this drama isn't going to leave a good taste in other teams mouth. It's too bad that the Jets won't be able to go and get him right now without getting in trouble. Hopefully everybody gets what they want after the season is over and it's not an ugly divorce.

The saddest thing that has ever happened has this weekend, the New England Patriots has traded Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for a first-round pick in the 2011 draft. Seymour is one of the only, well was one of the only players that has been with the Patriots since their first Super Bowl. It's not a happy time in the Seymour camp, and if I was part of that camp, I would be too. Going from one of the best teams in the NFL to one of the worst teams in the NFL isn't really a good look. I would just retire if it was me.

The first game of the NFL season will begin in 3 days. The Super Bowl Champions Pittsburgh Steelers against the Tennessee Titans. Great game to start the NFL season. Can't wait and you know I will definitely be watching.

Shawne Merriman

2009-09-07T08:06:00.000-07:00

It's sad to say that my lovable talented supposed to be his comeback season Shawne Merriman was arrested Sunday morning around 3:45 AM for supposedly choking and not letting his 'girlfriend' leave his San Diego home. The girl involved is (in the words of Gloria Velez), the "4'11" midget, Myspace hoe, no-talent bitch Tila Tequila (remember it all came from the mouth of Gloria Velez not me).

After the Chargers game, Tila, Shawne and other players of the Chargers went to the club and partied it up. Tila and Shawne went to Shawne's home in San Diego; something went wrong, cops were called and Shawne went to jail while Tila went to the hospital. Now they are two sides of every story and here they are:

Shawne claims that Tila was very intoxicated and he didn't want her to leave until she had a safe transportation back home. But Tila said that is all false cause she doesn't drink:

" I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila 'Tequila' cause the irony. I can't drink. I put all of my love and faith in God. I am only 93 pounds and 4'ft 11. The truth will set you free....GOD is with me."

It is kind of hard to believe that a 6'ft 4 265lb linebacker would choke a 4'ft 11 p3lb girl and her not still being in critical condition or something. Also the fact that she says she can't drink is bullshit; we all did see her show on MTV, and she was drinking. Also she has tweeted about herself getting drunk and shit like that. I think she is taking things way out of proportion and if this continues, it will fuck up Shawne's career for good. Hopefully Tila comes out and tells the truth about it all. I also just hope that Shawne learns from this and leaves her alone for good.

Here's a statement from Shawne:

"The San Diego Sheriffs Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided. We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms Nguyen, however paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California. There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriffs Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate and fully with the Department and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."

Can I just say this, I knew something like this would have happened since the first time they and that whole situation with Shawne's ex-girlfriend.I will keep you guys posted on this story of course...hopefully in the next couple of days the truth comes out or everybody mouth.

Here is some pictures of Tila and Shawne prior to the whole situation:

non girlfriends or chicks you're not fucking doesn't do all this with you in the club.

Stillman Forfeit First Game of the Season

2009-09-05T13:16:00.000-07:00

Sadly Stillman had to forfeit there first game of the season against Clark Atlanta due to the swine flu. About 37 players have gotten the swine flu on the team forcing them to cancel the game. Tigers head football coach L.C. Cole said he noticed his team were having flu-like symptoms after a morning workout during the week.

Both team are unable to reschedule the game, so Stillman had no choice but to forfeit the game to Clark Atlanta. The only reason why Clark Atlanta gets the win, it because it is not there fault that they can't play the game, it is Stillman's fault that they cannot play, so Stillman has to forfeit. Sorry Tigers fan.

College Football

2009-09-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

College Football season has finally started and it has started with a BANG...

The Oregon Ducks has suspended there starting running back and best running back LeGarrette Blount for the rest of the season. Which is sad because it brought his draft ranking all the way down. When asking a top recruit team, they said Blount went from a second round pick and the second best running back in the draft, to an undrafted running back.

For people that don't know what happened, well hear is the story.

After Oregon lost..well they didn't lose, they got embarrassed by Boise State, Blount went to shake hands with the other team, like after every game. When leaving the field, Boise State defensive end Byron Hout hit Blount shoulder pads and started taunting him. Blount then punched, well sucker punched Hout on the chin and went on a raging rampage. He started pushing his teammates when they were trying to hold him back. While he was coming off the field, he starting getting into an argument with the fans; he then charged to the fans, but luckily, the guards stopped him before he got to the fans and made a bad situation worse.

Blount later did apologize for his action, but an apology wouldn't help his situation at the moment. It was hard for the coach to tell him the he was suspended because it is his senior year, so that mean this is his last year playing and he messed it all up. At least he gets to keep his scholarship and so he will be able to complete school and graduate. Also he is still able to practice with the team, just not play.

Boise State also has stated that they will punish Hout for his action, he will not be suspended, but he will be punished. Hell he will always be remembered as the guy who got sucker punched for talking smack and got knocked out also.

It is a sad story, but he has to face the consequence for his actions. I mean it is sportmanship week in the NCAA and that does not have sportsmanship written on it at all. I hope he has learned from it and every other college player learn from it. I wish LaGarrette Blount all the best right now, and hope he can come through from this whole situation.

2009-09-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

I want to correct myself real quick...my last post, I stated that Pacman was trying to sign with the UFL; well it's not the UFL, it was the CFL. Sorry my mistake..I just never thought that someone would go to the CFL after the UFL came, but I was wrong. And since we are on this topic, he tried to get signed, but the CFL team said no. Are you surprised, I think not. Who wants Pacman on their team, I know I don't with his attitude and actions.

Today marks the NFL final cut on the rosters. Each team must cut until they have 53 players on their roster. Teams are cutting from left to right before Monday comes to get ready for the regular season. For some teams it will be hard to cut, but for the others, it will be a breeze to go through. Certain teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans are keeping it a hush hush of who they are cutting until the release the final roster. Other teams are being dumb an releasing really good players for there team...But I really don't care cause my team to win the Super Bowl (Philadelphia Eagles), are still looking good.

The New York Giants have released David Tyree. For those who don't know ho he is, well he's the guy that made that incredible helmet catch in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.

"I talked to Kevin Abrams this morning and he said it was a very tough decision for the team. Like anyone else, it was a tough thing for David to hear. He's actually saying his goodbye to his teammates right now. He's obviously disappointed, but we're confident someone else will see the value he brings on special teams and as a wide receiver. We'll see how things go here in the next few days." David Tyree's agent Michael Clouser told the Newark Star-Ledger.

Surprise that he got cut since the Giants doesn't have any really good receiver on the team. They really should have cut a receiver they usually don't use like maybe Sinorice Moss. I mean it hurts me to say that cause I love Sinorice, but as a sports fan, I gotta call it how I see it. Oh well, then it should make it easier for the Philadelphia Eagles to win.

The Buffalo Bills have released Dominic Rhodes, who was one of the biggest person they got this off season. With Marshawn Lynch suspended for the first three regular season game, the Bills only have Fred Jackson to play that has NFL experience. This comes one day after the Bills fired there offensive coordinator Turk Schonert. I see there season not going so well right now.

The NFL has fined Brett Favre $10000 after an illegal block in the preseason game last week against the Houston Texans' defensive back Eugene Wilson. Eugene is looking for an apology from Brett, and still is:

"Eugene went back out on the field after the game hoping Favre would come up to him and apologize and express some concern and that didn't happen. Eugene then was hoping Favre would send him an apology through some sort of correspondence, but that hasn't happened, either. Eugene is still hopeful Favre will apologize to him.' Eugene agent James Sims said."

Now the only reason why Eugene is making a deal out of it is because he did get injured and he does want an apology which is understanding, if Brett didn't do it on purpose like he said. I would be surprise if Brett apologizes, doesn't look like a sorry guy to me.HEY at least we now know that Roger Goodell isn't playing this season with punishments. Which is a good thing cause QBs always get away with things and now they don't.

The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly expect Commissioner Roger Goodell to issue a ruling on Michael Vick's possible full re-instalment before Saturday's mandatory league cut down to a 53-man roster. Under the conditions that Goodell imposed in July, Mike may not begin playing in the regular-season until Goodell notifies that he can, which must come by week 6. But, Eagles head coach Andy Reid and team president Joe Banner have been updating Goodell on Mike's behavior and progress, while also trying to get a clearer understanding of when he will rule on Mike's re-instatement. It is widely believed that he will allow Mike to return to full-time duty by Week 3, according tot hose close to Mike and the Eagles.

I hope Goodell lets him back in sooner than Week 6.

The Cincinnati Bangles have finally signed their draft pick Andre Smith, on Sunday. On Tuesday, Andre messes up his foot (smh). See that's what he gets for not coming to practice and working out like he is suppose to be doing. I guess the team can't make fun of him anymore behind his back during practice.

Simeon Rice will be going to the UFL. He hasn't been playing in the NFL since 2006 when he was released. I wonder if he still has it, I mean if he still does, then NFL needs to go and get him ASAP.

Adam 'Pacman' Jones has also signed with a UFL team. Do we really care about Pacman right now? I know I don't. He is someone that really makes me sick right now. All the chances he has had, he just takes it and throw it right in everybody face. No wonder Roger Goodell is so strict with all these chances. I honestly would never let Pacman in my team, NEVER! I hope he has fun in the UFL; he better hope that he doesn't mess up in the UFL. Once he does, he will not have any more chances, and he can say bye-bye to playing professional football.

Golden State Warriors are looking like some unhappy campers. Stephen Jackson and the Warriors are uncertain if Stephen will be coming back for the season. Despite everything, general manager Larry Riley still thinks Stephen is a key part of the team despite the best player on the team saying he wants to go elsewhere and win.

"Stephen Jackson has been a true professional since arriving here three seasons ago, and our expectations of him have not changed despite his recent comments. He's been one of our most consistent and productive players during that time. We expect that some display of professionalism as we begin to prepare for training camp and the start of the upcoming regular season." Riley said in a statement.

Stephen said on Friday to Dime Magazine that he wanted out and had made it known to the Warriors brass. But the problem is that he signed a three-year contract extension in November and is a person that the team considers part of their long-term plans.

"It's not about a decision I made, it's just things are in the air right now. I really can't get too much into it right now, but I'm just looking to go somewhere where I can go and win a championship." Stephen Jackson told Dime Magazine.

The man that put 'bad ass' in the Detroit Pistons and who coached the Detroit Shocks winning three titles, will join Kurt Rambis and his staff at the Minnesota Timberwolves, http://www.espn.go.com has confirmed. Which is a total shock because Laimbeer has always said he will never become an assistant coach only a head coach. This has been Laimbeer's first time coaching in the NBA before. For people that doesn't know who Bill Laimbeer is, well here's some knowledge for yall:

Bill Laimbeer was drafted in 1979 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, then was traded to the Detroit Pistons in 1982. He became one of the most notorious players in the NBA, having players form Charles Barkley to Karl Malone hating him. In other words, like what Dennis Rodmen said 'he was bad as he wanted to be.' He also helped the 'Bad Boys' Pistons win back-to-back titles. After retiring from the NBA, he took a job coaching and was the general manager for the Detroit Shocks and also helped them win three titles.

Great resume huh?

It must suck to be a part of the Minnesota Timberwolves right now. Ricky Rubio has signed a new contract with Spain that will not end until 2011. Which would suck for the Timberwolves because they spent a perfectly good draft pick on a player that won't even play for them. They could've went for Stephen Curry, but no they went for somebody that was always a little bit iffy about whether or not he was coming to the NBA. I think the NBA needs to make a rule about things like this. You know if they get drafted, then it should be mandatory for them to play, if not, then they should be banned for some time. Kind of like Billy Donovan. Oh well, I'm just happy that the Timberwolves aren't my favorite team right now.

Mr. Taller than Tall Yao Ming may be back playing sooner than we expect. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said that the team doesn't feel as if Yao's broekn left foot in career-threatening anymore.

"Yao Ming is progressing well. I don't think that a career-ending scenario is something that will happen, based on what I'm hearing from the doctors. They do know that the bone will heal and he'll get back on it. And they have not actually ruled out his return this season. I think that's less likely than likely, but they haven't ruled it out. And next season, the outlook is very good. He just took off the cast for a short period, so the doctors could examine it, and everything is going well. Everything is on track." Morey told ESPN The Magazine's Sam Alipour.

I guess we will have to wait and see what happens when the season starts.

So before the game on Monday, Brett Favre told the Minnesota Vikings that he may have cracked a rib or something after taking some hard hits last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Their has been no x-rays yet or no reports about it, but Favre has complained about it being hard to breathe. He will st5ill be playing in the next preseason game, unless something happens to him in between now and the next game or the beginning of the regular season... is it bad for me to hope that there is something wrong with him, so he doesn't come back and he will be gone for the rest of the season or maybe forever?

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora missed practice today, and head coach Tom Coughlin doesn't know why. Osi attended team meeting on Monday morning and left unexpectedly and didn't talk to Coughlin before leaving and never returned to practice. General manager Jerry Reese, send a text message to Osi and asked him if everything was alright; Osi replied that everything was 'OK', but he didn't explain why he left. Since he was absent for practice, it will be considered unexcused, and he will most likely be fined.

Rumors: Supposedly posted by http://espn.go.com, he left after he had gotten into a dispute with new defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. He supposedly criticized Osi for making a mistake in Saturday's game against the Jets.

" We will have to talk to him when he gets back. Obviously he is not here, so I am concerned. There must have been something of a personal nature, and he left. I haven't personally talked to him. He did respond to Jerry, evidently by text. That's all I have. I haven't seen him, so I can't tell you." Coughlin states.

Well whatever it is, you know I will be keeping you all posted on this story ;)

Denver Nuggets JR Smith and Phoenix Suns Jason Richardson has both been suspended by the league for recently being convicted of driving offenses. Both suspensions were made today and are without pay.

Jason Richardson has been suspended for the first two games after pleading guilty to driving under the influence in Arizona. Richardson was arrested on February 15, 2009, after he was speeding 90 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. When he was stopped, it showed that he had his three year old son seat unrestrained. He was booked for speeding, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment of a child.

JR Smith has been suspended for the first seven games for all of his recent driving situations. In June 9, 2007, JR and two passengers were involved in an accident, in which JR and another passenger were ejected out of the car. The other passenger, Andre Bell later died due to head injury. It was said that JR had gone through a stop sign and collided with another car. He then plead guilty on June 30, 2009 for the incident and was to serve 90 days in prison, but ended up serving 30 days. The 60 days were suspended, on the condition that he completes 500 hours of community service.

The Denver Broncos has suspended wide receiver Brandon Marshall for his action on Wednesday during practice. He has been suspend for the last two preseason game for conduct detrimental to team. In other terms, he has been acting up in practice and so the team has suspend him for his action. I think the only reason why the Broncos did this is so they can hurry and make it clear that they don't want him here. Also that they will either trade him or release him, whichever is easier and quicker for them

Michael Vick played his first game since 2006 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had 4 completions for 4 attempts for 19 yards, and a one-yard run in his debut. He did look better than all the other quarterbacks that have been playing and haven't been gone (won't name any names, but y'all know who I'm talking bout). He will be playing the last preseason game also since that will be his last game before he is reinstated to the league. Not to mention, i never thought that there were going to be so many Vick supporters in Philly like I say at the first game.

The New York Jets has named rookie Mark Sanchez as there starting QB for the season. Mark is the first rookie to start as QB for the Jets since 1977. They believe that Sanchez will help them get tot he Playoffs and hopefully he does. I guess we will have to see what happens.

The Minnesto Vikings' lockerroom has been divided into three sides; one side that supports Brett Favre, another that supports Tarvaris Jackson, and the last one that supports Sage Rosenfels. But, Favre doesn't lead the score of support on the team, whick I definitley agree with. Favre will be here for maybe only this year and the Vikings are going to give up there QBs for no reason which is so dumb. But hey, they're not my team for the Super Bowl, so do what you got to do.

It seems that the people in New Orleans can relax now, the Saints will be staying in the N.O. Lawmakers approved the lease arrangement Friday that has the state renting downtown New Orleans office space from the owner. The approval states that the Saints will be staying in Louisiana through 2025.

Plaxico Burress

2009-08-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

Tuesday night on ESPN's E:60, they interviewed Plaxico Burress. The interview was something that I believe Plaxico needed to do. He went on and told his side of the story and even though I always supported him and I'm glad he came out and told his full side of their story.

So here is a little summary of what had happened that night:

Plaxico gets a phone call from teammate Ahmad Bradshaw to come pick him up so they could go to the club. A couple of weeks earlier, teammate Steve Smith was robbed at gun point at his complex, which is the same place that Bradshaw lives in. So, Plaxico said to himself, 'the only way he was going over there, is if he had his gun with him.' So he took his gun with him and went to pick up Bradshaw. When going to the club he was search by the security there and they even knew he had a gun, but they still let him in. While he was walking up the stairs to the VIP section, his gun started slipping down his jeans. When trying to retrieve it, he shot himself and did not even know. While walking, he felt his jeans getting wet and so when he looked down, he realized that there were blood on his shoes. He then told his teammate Antonio Pierce that he needed to go to the hospital because he shot himself. Pierce then rushed him to the nearest hospital, and the doctors at the hospital had put him under another name (which Plaxico had nothing to do with at all). Through the whole thing he states that the New York Giants knew everything that had happened and did not seem to try and help and make things easier. He did not know the whole situation was serious until he got a phone call from the team telling him that he needed to contact his lawyer ASAP.

I mean for the Giants to just let there best receiver just lay there in dirt by himself is just wrong. I think the saddest part of the whole story was when he was talking about his family and how he is going to miss them. His wife is currently pregnant with their first daughter and is due around Thanksgiving. When he was asked that, he started crying and couldn't even talk, he just said 'it hurts.' It really hurts me to know that a man that wants to be their for his family can't because of something so stupid. So, now a son and a daughter will be without a father for two years.

To prepare for going to prison, Plaxico hired a man that will help him get around in prison. He also talked to Michael Vick, who is a good friend of his (they also grew up in the same place in Virginia), and Mike told him to keep busy, take care of yourself, stay out of trouble, and most importantly stay safe. I still don't approve of the time he has to spend in prison for something stupid. He's not a criminal, he only caries a gun for protection. He also spoke about the only reason for the gun is because he doesn't feel safe and he wants to protect himself and his family.

All I'm saying is if the Mayor and city of New York wants athletes to stop carrying guns, then help make the place safer for them so they don't have to look over there shoulders so much. They need to feel safe, and it's not only athletes lets be honest, it's everybody. I just hope that he can return to the NFL after he's done with prison...so Miami Dolphins, hit him up when he comes out. ;)

Micahel Beasley Check Into Rehab

2009-08-24T13:00:00.000-07:00

Two sources has confirmed Monday that Michael Beasley has checked into a rehab in Houston to address concerns over emotional distress and drug problems. This all started on Saturday when Michael posted this image in which in the background shows two baggies in which it looks like weed in the bags. After posting it, he then posted some tweets stating why are people hating on me and that life was not worth living.

While in rehab he will be guided be John Lucas, a former NBA coach, who runs a center for professional athletes with substance abuse problems. Lucas also battled substance abuse while in the NBA as a player and as a coach.

Bruce Shingler, a longtime friend and live-in personal assistant said, "All I can tell you is that it's true Mike is in Houston. Mike has had some issues. But as far as all the rumors and stuff out there, I can't tell you anything about that. This whole situation was supposed to be super G-14 classified, I think. He knows he got work to do. He's a 20 year-old guy growing up in the NBA, with money and fame. It's not easy. But all of this stuff that you here isn't what it seems like. that's all I can tell you."

His mother was unable to comment at the moment. Also the Heat's spokesman Tim Donovan declined comments earlier this afternoon. It is uncertain how long Mike will be in rehab.

I just hope that Mike is okay once he comes out; set aside from the season coming up, I just want him to be mentally okay for his family. He has been through a lot this past season alone and it can be a lot on a young man who hasn't had a lot depending on them. Mike if you read this, I'm praying for you adn I really want you to come back. And all the Mike haters, stop hating!!!

Interesting Michael Beasley story....

http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_basketball_heat/2009/08/beasleys-tweets-resonate-before-going-silent.html

We can't judge Michael Beasley personally because we don't know what goes on in his mind or in his life. So, for us to say we dislike him because of something he did or say, we need to listen to what he has to say and why he believes that before we judge him.

To me, Mike is like a little kid who just got wrapped up in something that he's not ready for just yet. All he needs is somebody to be like his big brother and keep him on the right track so he doesn't fall. I'm really routing for Mike (cause he is part of the future of the Miami Heat that I see), and I hope he can get his mind right before it is too late.

Second week of preseason is just wrapping up and some very interesting things have accord.

Brett Favre played his first preseason game with the Minnesota Vikings against the Kansas City Chiefs. Favre as I expected sucked like crazy. Didn't see the game and you don't believe me, well here is his stats: he had 1 completion out of 4 attempts, and that one completion was for only 4 yards, which they had to punt after his whole series was over. On the other hand, Tarvaris Jackson went HAM that game; he had 12 completions out 15 attempts for 202 yards, he had 2 touchdowns and no interceptions(and to think the Vikings are letting him go). Jackson is going out and saying you're going to want to trade me instead of releasing me to a better team.

Chad Johnson..I mean Chad Ochocinco said on twitter he has a new way to celebrate and he knows he won't get fined for this one. He's going to pull a Brett Favre on us; he's going to retire then come back, but with an even bigger bang (crazy huh). In his second preseason game against the New England Patriots, not only did his thing as a receiver, nope, but also a kicker. After Chris Henry made the touchdown, Mr. Ochocinco kicked the extra point and made it to help the Bengals win the game. He also was the kicker during kick off after the touchdown. So, if the receiving thing doesn't work, Chad can always be a kicker. lol :)

Ben Roethlisburger was unable to play this week because of aggravating his Achilles tendons on Thursday, but the injury is not serious and he should be ready by next week or if he doesn't want to, by regular season's kick off.

Jeremy Shockey is a true definition of man that stands on his own. During scrimmage this week against the Buffalo Bills, Shockey got into a little altercation with a comeback, which led to an fight with two comebacks, then with about ten Bills players on top of him. The whole time I'm watching this I just wonder, what happened to the Saint's backing up there teammate? Either they don;t like Shockey or they just a whole bunch of wimps on the team.Don't want to start anything, but Jeremy you need to check your teammates, the Giants would never let that go down when you were there. But, at least the Saints won the preseason game against the Bills 38-14.

Matthew Stafford got the chance to start in his first game in the NFL, and didn't do so good. He had 5 completions out of 13 attempts for 34 yards, and 1 interception. But, he is a rookie and he does need to work harder if he expects to become the starting quarter back for the team.

Memphis Tigers

2009-08-23T13:39:00.000-07:00

The Memphis Tigers must vacate their NCAA-record from the 2007-2008 season and serve three years probation for violating NCAA rules. So, all the work that coach John Calipari did with Memphis in the 2007-2008 season has been taken away. The 38 games win and reaching the NCAA championship does not exist at all. Memphis president Shirley Raines, said after the announcement that the school will be appealing what she called an unfair penalty.

"We know the rules. We did our due diligence. We did everything we could to determine the student-athlete was eligible and that the rules were being followed." Raines said.

In May, Memphis was accused of several major fractions under Calipari, which includes a fraudulent SAT score by a player and providing close to $1,700 in free travel to a player's family member. In which all of these cases are all surrounding Derrick Rose and brother Reggie.

It must really suck that all Memphis has done last season will be taken away from them. Which I think it's stupid cause we all know what happened and remember it no matter what, but in the books it doesn't exist at all? NCAA needs to come up with new punishments for the league. Also it really doesn't effect the people that were actually involved in the accusations neither. Derrick Rose is in the NBA doing his thing, while Coach Calipari is now coaching Kentucky like nothing happened. I think if the NCAA wants to punish somebody, then they need to go after Rose and Calipari. Make Rose pay the money back and suspend Calipari for a couple of games or something and put him on probation or something. I'm just saying right now it must really suck to be a Memphis Tiger. :(

Plaxico Burress Pleads Guilty

2009-08-20T10:25:00.001-07:00

Early today at 10 am, Plaxico Burress took the plea deal and pled guilty and will be serving two years in State prison. He will be arraigned on September 22. It's so sad to hear how it all came about today. Plax came to the courthouse as soon as it opened at 9:30 this morning, and sat in the fifth row of the court room waiting for his turn. He sat quietly with his attorney rocking back and forth. His attorney then went to the judge and they discussed the terms of his plea deal. The deal is that he will be serving 2 years in state prison and two years in post release supervision. Also the judge has stated if Plaxico gets arrested between now and September 22, he will have to face up to 7 years in prison.

The thing that makes mad the most is that when this first started, the D.A. gave him a deal which he would've served 2-5 months in prison and 1,500 hours of community service. But, his dumb self didn't want to serve time in prison which is dumb as hell. Hello did he hear what New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg said when the story first came out. He wanted him to serve the three and a half year or more for this, so we all knew he was serving time like it or not. Not only did the mayor wanted him to serve time, but the D.A. office also wasn't going to let him get out of this without serving some jail time. he should've learned from Michael Vick's and Donte Stallworth's case.For him being so stupid and naive of the situation, he now has to take an even harder punishment that might keep him out of the NFL for the rest of his football career. But, if he does come back still looking good and playing good, then maybe he might be able to come back to the league. the NFL is known to giving second chances to players after serving a couple time.

So, Plaxico will be serving 2 years in prison with a chance of good behavior of only serving 18-20 months and likely to be released by spring of 2011 if he starts serving his time as soon as possible. He is now 32 years-old, so when he is released he will be about 34 years-old; which means he would be as the end of his career. Hopefully he will still be in shape and ready to play when he comes back. He just needs to hope that there will be a team that will take a chance on him, and someone like Tony Dungy in his life when he is released. I only wish for the best for him and hope nothing happens to him prison (don't drop the soap or turn your back at anytime). I also hope the best for his wife and child at home. i know his baby will definitely miss daddy while he's gone. Plax needs to hurry up and serve his time so he can come home to his family, that is the most important thing right now.

Ben Roethlisburger

2009-08-19T14:23:00.000-07:00

I didn't really want to talk about this cause every time I do I just get even mad. Okay so we know that Big Ben is being accused of raping a former Nevada casino worker Andrea McNulty. Well according to Big Ben, two days after being handed the civil lawsuit, McNulty sent Ben an e-mail stating that she can't wait til she is at celebrity events siting next to Ben and other celebs.

"Andrea McNulty should abandon her lawsuit immediately and admit that Ben Roethlisburger did not rape her. We believe that the woman's own words directly refute the scurrilous allegations made in her complaint." Said by Ben's attorney W. David Cornwell in a statement e-mailed to the Associated Press.

I am sick and tired of women trying to pull this off on athletes. Women we wonder why man can't trust and respect us. This McNulty chick needs to go somewhere and get a life; I think she's mad cause Ben didn't want her and now she wants her revenge.I know pretty soon this will all be over, you know it's not that serious cause Ben is in Pittsburgh doing his thing and not even worrying about all of this. I say this will al be over before the end of September maybe sooner.

Amber Rose

2009-08-19T14:16:00.000-07:00

I found a new interest in Kanye West's girlfriend Amber Rose. She's edgy and sexy,and she looks good in a string bikini. If you don't believe me, then check out this photo of her in South Beach:

For people that don't know who she is and what she does, let me break it down for you:

Amber Rose is a model who was former an exotic dancer. She was featured in a couple of videos such as Ludcris' "What Them Girls Like" and Yong Jeezy's "Vacation". She is a Italian, American , and Cape Verdian descent. She has posed for magazines and done spreads for Smooth magazine and Louis Vitton. She is most known for her relationship with Kanye West, which can I say they are so adorable together. (Kanye, Amber is whole lot better than your ex-fiance, major upgrade).

Don't believe that they look good together, well check this photo out and tell me again you don;t think they don't look good together:

The thing that makes me love her is that she's straight up and she doesn't hold anything back. She straight up that she's bisexual, but when in a relationship she's committed to the person. She also says that the only thing she doesn't completely shave is her hair, which most people would be embarrassed of telling people. I mean honestly if you would have never told me, I would have always thought the Amber was light skinned black girl and I love it. Sorry Kim Kardashian, but Amber Rose is taking your spot in my heart.

NFL News

2009-08-19T13:08:00.000-07:00

First off it's Brett Favre not Bret Farve; people check your spelling. Anyways, Favre has signed a two year $25 million contract. He will be getting $12 million this season and $13 million next season. but the bad thing about this whole ordeal is that the Vikings has stated that they will be trading Tarvaris Jackson before the beginning of regular season. I think they will definitely regret letting Jackson go after Favre is a flook or when he's gone and they don't have a back up.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall says that he does not trust the Broncos management. He said he has no problem working with scout team while he plays to get back to Pro Bowl form. What is really bothering him is the way the Broncos handled his acquittal on misdemeanor charges last Friday. In his comment on the matter, he said after Wednesday mourning's practice that he was disappointed a member of the team's public relations staff told his teammates not to gloat over his acquittal in an Atlanta courtroom. Marshall, who wants to get traded or a new contract, also said the directive has fostered distrust between him and the team. I just hope this whole situation doesn't turn out as bad as it already has.

Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens will be sitting out until next week because of a sprained toe injury. According to the Bills head coach Dick Jauron, T.O. isn't expected to come back until sometimes next week. I don't think it's that serious personally, I just think T.O. doesn't feel like practicing so this is his excuse for right now until the season starts. But, I guess we will have to see until when the season starts how good he really is.

The Miami Dolphins has a new fight song, well a remake of the original fight song. The new one is sung by T-Pain and can I say being form Miami I hate it. During the first preseason game and the Dolphins first touchdown, they played the new song and the crowd started booing like crazy. First off T-Pain isn't even from Miami so why is doing our fight song, second if you are going to remake a song, make it better not worse than the other. One thing I love about Miami, when we hate something, Miami knows to change it real quick.

More NFL news on the way.

Miami Heat News

2009-08-19T11:09:00.000-07:00

Since I am such a huge Heat fan, I thought I should speak my mind on the actions the Heat have been taking this off season and all the news around the Heat.

Let's start with the most recent news. The Heat traded center Mark Blount for guard/forward Quentin Richardson. Can I say this is one of the worst trades I can think that the Heat made. Why do we need another guard/forward on the team? We have enough of those already, they should have traded for a center since they don't have a permanent one on the team. I know this may sound mean but, I think Quentin is worse than Blount and I would've kept Blount way before I would go and acquire Quentin. And don't get me wrong, i love Quentin I do, but not for Miami. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Dwyane Wade said he isn't rushing to sign with the team and he is waiting until he knows that the team is a contender. Then, also everybody keep making a big deal that he just bought a home in Chicago. Why is that so important? I don't know why, he just wanted to buy a house in his hometown. So what! I think the only thing that is keeping him from coming back next season is himself. If he would just sign an extension, the Heat will be able to go out and get other players cause they will know how much they have to waste on him and how much they will have to waste on other players.

But, I honestly don't think Dwyane will leave if doesn't have to. Think about most of his business is in Miami. His charity is huge down here, Miami loves him, they even call Dade County, Wade County just to show how much we love him down here, and of course we made him who he is right now. Like he said, he loves this city and he would love to be here forever. Let's just hope it happens; don't need him forever just when our youngsters become better.

Since the Heat couldn't get Lamar Odom, they need to rush on the Allen Iverson deal before he is also taken away. Iverson would be great with our team, even though I believe he will be backup to Mario Chalmers, but when Chalmers is slipping (which he rarely did last season), Iverson will be their to back him up. It would be a great point guard duo (if there is such thing of that).

Here is a complete list of there current roster right now as we speak:

50. Joel Anthony

30. Michael Beasley

25. Patrick Beverley

6. Mario Chalmers

14. Daequan Cook

9. Yakhouba Diawara

4. Robert Dozier

40. Udonis Haslem

22. James Jones

21. Jamaal Magloire

7. Jermaine O'Neal

11. Chris Quinn

5. Quentin Richardson

3. Dwyane Wade

1. Dorell Wright

(They also have Luther Head who is a free agent at the moment)

Lets just hope this roster will go HAM this season and we will make it the Playoffs and past the first round. I'm still mad at the fact that we don't have Jamario Moon this season. Miami is so cheap that we can't seem to afford these players and top what other teams are offering.

Brett Favre to Sign with Vikings

2009-08-18T10:38:00.000-07:00

When the physical comes back, it will be official. Brett Favre will be back in the NFL as a Minnesota Vikings. He will sign a contract worth between $10-$12 million. Favre arrived at Minnesota earlier today and is in the Vikings facility as we speak right now. Head Coach Josh Childress, has confirmed the whole ordeal in an e-mail to the Associated Press, asking if the whole plan was to sign Favre; Childress replied. "In a perfect world."

Favre's mother, Bonita, told the Biloxi Sun Herald that her son would be practicing with the team on Wednesday. ESPN analyst Cris Carter, reported the Coach Childress already told the Vikings organization that Favre will be starting in Frday night's preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

If I was Tarvaris Jackson, I would be extra mad right now. This was supposed to be his season to come out and become the starting quarterback, but now he has to fight for second string instead of first. It must really suck right now to be a quarterback on that team, I would feel as if the team doesn't trust me enough to win games so they had to go and get a 39 year-old man to do the job. That's my opinion, but I want to hear yours. :)

Michael Vick in Madden 2010

2009-08-17T13:30:00.000-07:00

For everybody getting ready to go out and get Madden 2010 tonight, I will advise you to STOP, and wait for the new and improve Madden. Since Michael Vick just signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last week, the creators of the video game are going back in and putting Vick in the game as an Eagle. This is according to Rob Semsey's twitter; Semsey is the Senior PR Manager for EA Sports.

Vick hater or not, waiting for the new and improve Madden 2010 to come out would be better. Everybody knows if you're a video game fan put aside the personal vendetta against people, you want the best of the game that you are playing. So, you know for a fact I will be waiting for the new Madden 2010 to be done. Sorry Gamestop, but you won't catch me in you store tonight buying Madden 2010. I wonder what they're going to rate Michael Vick this season? I guess I will have to wait and see. :)

Shaun Ellis Suspended and Fined $100,000

2009-08-17T12:47:00.000-07:00

New York Jets defensive end, Shaun Ellis, has been suspended without pay by the NFL for the season opener and fined $100,000 for violating league's substance abuse policy. Ellis was arrested in November and charged with possession of marijuana, speeding and driving without insurance (who does that now a days), in Hanover, New Jersey.

"I wasn't surprised. I knew there was a possibility of that. The league made a decision. That's what I have to go by and I have to accept it.It hurts, it's a situation that happened last year and for it to carry on into this year, it's kind of tough. I just wish I would've been able to have dealt with it last year. This year is just going into things fresh with that behind me, but it didn't happen that way. I just have to learn from this mistake and move on; just put it behind me and get ready for Week 2." Ellis said after the morning practice at SUNNY Cortland.

Without Ellis for the season opener, means that the Jets will be without two defensive starters. In July, linebacker Calvin Pace, was suspended for four games without pay for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances (always the linebacker).

Shaun Ellis was speeding on the morning of November 29, 2008, when he was pulled over, according to police, he was asked for registration and insurance, but was uncooperative. Hanover Township Police Captain Shawn Waldron, said Ellis willingly turned over the marijuana when the officer smelled it in the car and Ellis said he had smoked some the night before. Waldron also said Ellis had less than 50 grams on him, making it a disorderly-persons offense in New Jersey.

Athletes need to learn that they need to stop going out and acting a fool. Yes they are still normal people, but not that normal because they are athletes with money and people know who they are. So, that means they need to be careful of what they do when out, because like it or not every athlete is a role model even if they don't want to be. And also it is a privilege to do what they do and to be in the league. It can always be taken away from you in the snap of the finger, and I don't think you want to learn that the hard way.

Brett Favre

2009-08-17T12:04:00.000-07:00

On March 4, 2008, Brett Favre formally announced his retirement from the NFL. On July 29, 2008 Brett Favre filed for reinstatement with the NFL and was granted reinstatement on August 4, 2008.Then on July 28, 2009, Brett Favre informed the Vikings officials and the rest of the NFL world that he will remain retired. And now on August 17, 2009, http://www.foxsports.com reports that a couple of unnamed Vikings players said that Brett Favre will probably be officially signed by the 3rd preseason game. Anybody surprise about this story??? Anyone, anyone, I know I'm not. I mean what else is he going to do, stay home at his farm and cut grass or whatever; I think not and he still has a little something left in him. I think if he comes back, he will see that he should have just stayed retired.I wonder how the other quarterbacks on the team feel about this story.I just hope all of this won't ruin the Vikings chance of making it to the Playoffs. Instead of worrying about a person that's not on the team, they should worry about the players they have right now and decide who will become starting QB with the ones they have at the moment. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. And you know I will keep you guys posted on this story.

Detroit Lions

2009-08-16T10:24:00.000-07:00

Now the Detroit Lions gets there own post cause they are that special for right now. Yesterday the Lions won the first preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, which really doesn't matter, you gotta regular season games not preseason games. So far they are reminding me of last season in which they won all of there preseason games but lost the most important ones; the regular season. Right now they're on a 0-17 run since the 2007-2008 season.

I'm really hoping that this season the Lions actually win a game or two. They have improved their roster with drafting Matthew Stafford with the first overall pick in the draft in April. Also of course they have quarterback Daunte Culpepper, and wide receiver Clavin Johnson; just naming people that I know and we all know. And hopefully with these players and the others, they can finally end their losing streak.

So with two good quarterbacks equals two good quarterbacks fighting for starting position on the team. And can I say that I don't care how long Daunte has been in the league, the position is wide open for any one of them. But stats will show who should win and also the chemistry with the whole team is a huge factor. You don't want a player who the team doesn't trust to lead it, you need a guy that the team can trust to win games. But, back to stats on these to QBs, we will mae it fair and just compare it to the preseason game they played so far. Matthew had 7 completions out of 14 attempts for 114 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. While Daunte had 5 completions out of 6 attempts for 41 yards, 0 touchdown and 0 interceptions. But that is only the first preseason game, don't know what goes on during practice. So, I guess it all depends on the coaches decision.

News Around the NFL

2009-08-16T09:39:00.000-07:00

Rumor has it, if Plaxico Burress gets signed to a team, he will be suspended for a minimum of 8 games. Goodell doesn't want to suspend him for the whole season until he knows further details of Plaxico's case and what will happen to him. So, if Plaxico is found guilty, of course not only he will serve time, but he will be gone for the whole season and maybe more. But, we're not going that far right now. Teams are not taking any risks just yet until they officially know how long he will be gone. You don't want to sign someone that will be gone for the whole season, waist of time and money.

I guess we won't know until it happens. But. believe me I will keep you guys posted for a fact on this story.

In sadder news, but very predictable, Goodell has suspended Donte Stallworth for the whole 2009-2010 season. It's not surprising because Donte did kill a man and will have to live that fact for the rest of his life. But, it still wouldn't be fair because Donte did kill someone and Michael Vick just killed dogs, so if Michael is out for a whole season then it's only right that Donte is too. Hopefully, Goodell will give him a chance when he comes back and reinstate him after. For his team the Cleveland Browns, the head coach, Eric Mangini, said he is not sure of Donte's future with team, and he will have to wait and see what happens.

Michael Vick had his first practice yesterday with his new and improve team the Philadelphia Eagles. Head coach Andy Reid said he was very impress with Michael, and that he did better than what he expected. It was good also because the Eagles are know for their West Coast style offense in which Mike played when he was with the Atlanta Falcons. Coach Reid still says that Mike is the third string quarterback for the team, but I think that will change soon.

Some people in Philadelphia are still not happy with the signing and some are happy because they see as a good deal for the team winning a Super Bowl. But, most people are just waiting to see what Mike does and are not picking sides just yet. In a poll http://www.philly.com/, about 83,000 people voted in which they thought the signing of Michael Vick was good or not; 51% said yes and 49% said no (this was the second highest poll they had after the poll question do you believe in God). I'm with everybody who is just waiting to see what Mike has in store for, but I can say I am leaning a lot with people that are happy with the deal. I guess we will have to wait until August 27 to see him play and see how good he is, If not preseason, then we will have to wait til Goodell reinstates him. You know I'm waiting and we will definitely keep you guys posted.

Brandon Marshall Found Not Guilty

2009-08-15T11:39:00.000-07:00

Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall was found not guilty Friday by an Atlanta jury on misdemeanor battery against his former girlfriend. Brandon had faced two counts of simple batter before on his ex-girlfriend Rasheedah Watley in his Atlanta condominium that they shared together.

"I'm just happy now that legally and emothionally we can move past this."

Brandon Marshall also said he plans on celebrating Frida night by watching his teammates in an preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Brandon's lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, expressed that he was happy that Roger Goodell waited until the verdict of the case came out before he decied on Brandon's punishment. Brandon was suspended last season's opener after a series of domestic disputes, and Goodell stated that a conviction of in the Atlanta courts would lead to a second suspension.

I guess since Brandon wasn't found guilty then maybe he won't get suspended, and if he does maybe it might be like 3 games or less. I guess we just have see and wait. But, believe that I will keep you guys posted on the case. Hopefully he finally learned his lesson and he will stop fighting with his girlfriends, well now his fiance.

Highest Paid Athletes in the NFL

2009-08-15T10:16:00.000-07:00

So yesterday New York Giants quarterback, Eli Manning, signed an extension with the Giants with a 6 year $15.3 million starting next season. So when I heard this I was thinking damn he must be the highest paid NFL player. I had to investigate this and I found out he's not, but he does get paid more than his big brother Peyton Manning, quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.

Well here is the list of the top 6 highest paid NFL players courtesy of http://www.espn.go.com/ :

Julius Pepper, Panthers; $16.683M; 1 year left on contract
Carson Palmer, Beangles; $16.166.; 7 years left on contract
Eli Manning, Giants; $15.285M; 7 years left on contract
Nnamdi Asomugha, Raiders; $15.155M; 3 years left on contract
Ben Roethlisburger, Steelers; $14.664M; 6 left on contract
Peyton Manning, Cotls; $14M; 7 years left on contract

Before Eli signed his uber big contract, Nnamdi Asomugha was the highest paid athlete on average. He agreed to a 3 year, $45.3 million, earlier this year. For people that doesn't know who Nnamdi is, he is an All-Pro conerback of the Oakland Raiders, who has 257 total tackles, 16 sacks, and 10 interceptions for 69 yards. I also thought I should bring up that Nnamdi is partially color blind. " It was determined when I was about 7 years old. It's never really affected my play on the field- I can easily distinguish between light and dark colors. I only have trouble between similar colors- the light ones. They look the same to me. No problems on the field."

Julius Pepper will be the league's highest paid player this season with 1 year $16.7 million contract. If you don't know who Julius Pepper is a defensive end of the Carolina Panthers. He has 344 total tackles, 70.5 total sacks, 4 interceptions for 164 yards, and 1 interception touchdown. Who I must say donated $100,000 to a scholarship program that supports African-American students at his Alma matter North Carolina in February (just had to add that).

And now Eli Manning is among the highest paid players in the league today. I guess big brother needs to step his contract up to beat little brother. I just wish that I was part of the Manning family. Every single one of them are rich. Daddy played in the NFL, Peyton and Eli getting paid top money, and the oldest brother is a doctor. Who wouldn't want to be part of that family. Let's just hope that Eli plays good so we don't feel like they paid him too much for no reason.

Reggie Bush Cheated on Kim Kardashian

2009-08-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

So rumors has it that Reggie Bush had a side chick when he was dating Kim Kardashian. The other woman Carmen Ortega, a Miami model, said that she and Reggie had a thing for like 3 months while he was still with Kim. She also stated that Kim was also creeping on Reggie during their relationship. See at first I didn't what to believe, but Carmen said that she has proof of their relationship. On Lip Service, Carmen said that she had a sex tape with them together and she might let it out, she doesn't know yet.

But that's not even the worst part of it all, Carmen says that Reggie is cheaper than cheap. I always thought that the side chick got more than the main chick, but I was wrong. She said on Lip Service (I love Lip Service I must say), that he never gave her anything except plane tickets and dinner but that's all (like a hoe, feed her first, then take her home). She also said that when she asked for a simple thing from him, that's when they started to drift apart and ever since then they don't talk to each other anymore.

Now Reggie you see if you just bought her stuff and treated her like a true side chick, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened. But don't get me wrong, I love all of this so thanks for creeping with a chick that's trying to get known. But, the crazy thing about this is that most people out there right now are saluting Reggie (I know I am), for getting two chicks. Thank God you didn't catch anything from one of them (not naming any names, but it's not Kim).

So after the break up, Kim went blond (which I hate so much), and I do know that Kim still loves Reggie for a fact and wants him back. But, then I was hearing that the whole relationship was legit at first, but then ended up as just publicity. Supposedly, the relationship was over a while ago, but they continued to be together because of a paid trip to Africa and they didn't want to give the money back for it. I just hope that's not true at all, I pray it's not.

I really don't care what people think about the relationship personally. I want Reggie to grow up and Kim to slow down, so they can finally be together and get married and have kids. The problem to me is that Kim is rushing things a little too much for Reggie and Reggie is not ready for all that Kim is asking for. Yeah Kim is older than Reggie, but she needs to understand that his a professional athlete and athletes has other things on their mind. It takes time to get married, falling love not so much, but marriage yes it does. Reggie loves her, but he's not ready to marry her, and Kim need to accept that. Also I just hope that all this Carmen Ortega drama doesn't get in between their future together. Maybe Kim should have never admitted that they were dating, you do a Jay-Z and Beyonce on our ass, then maybe it will work.

Aren't they cute together?

Michael Vick Signed to the Philadelphia Eagles

2009-08-14T11:52:00.000-07:00

Michael Vick has been very optimistic that he would be back, but he knew it would be a long process; so after almost three years of no football, yesterday made it official of him being back and Michael Vick is now with the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean who thought he would be playing for the Eagles, from all the teams that were interested and not interested in him, the Eagles were the last team on our mind. He signed a contract for two years, stating that he will be getting paid $1.6 million in the first year and the second year with a team option of $5.2 million, but none of the money is guaranteed so the Eagles are at no financial risk if Mike doesn't make the team. The Eagles and Mike has been talking since last week, but started negotiating about a contract since Monday after backup quarterback Kevin Kolb got injured, and yesterday they made it official.

But not a lot of people are happy with this; Bill Smith founder of Main Line Animal Rescue in the Philadelphia suburbs, said he will be renting three billboards near the Eagles' stadium blasting the signing of Vick.

"I'm really shocked that he's coming to Philadelphia. He kept talking about second chances. His dogs didn't have a second chance...There are a lot out there who deserve second chances more than Michael Vick," Smith stated.
Also the Philadelphia Daily news blasted the Eagles for the decision that they made in their headlines for today's edition stating "Hide Your Dogs" and "What Are They Thinking?" Also a national group said it would be watching to see if Michael Vick backs up what he pledges.

The owner of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, said he did serious "soul searching" regarding Mike. Lurie said he met with Mike for hours and was convinced he can become a force in stopping animal cruelty.

"I needed to see a lot of self-hatred in order to approve this," Lurie said.

Lurie also said if he doesn't see Mike being proactive in working with the community and the Humane society, then his signing would be a "terrible decision."

"There is no third chances and we know that. If it isn't fulfilled the way we expect it to be, then it will be the end," Lurie said.

But don't think Donovann McNabb will feel threatened with this signing. No, McNabb has been talking to the front office asking them if it was possible to get Mike on the team. McNabb and Mike has been friends for a while now and McNabb believes that Mike deserves a second chance and thinks being with the Eagles would also help the team become better.

Head coach of the Eagles, Andy Reid, called Mike "one of the greatest quarterbacks" in the league two years ago. With McNabb being the starting quarterback no matter what, Mike will have to look at playing another position. The best scenario I could think about is that the Eagles will use him to play the Wildcat offense that the Miami Dolphins made popular last season. But Coach Reid still has not said how he will use Mike.

"I will say, though, that he will contribute. You can ask defense coordinators on other teams if they're worried about that," Reid stated.

But I must say, all of this would have not happened if it was for former head coach, Tony Dungy. Dungy now mentor and advisor of Mike truly did helped Mike get where he is right now. Without Dungy visiting Mike in prison and saw that he is remorseful about what he has done and is a changed man, we would have never believed him and the commissioner would have probably not let him back in the league so soon. I love the fact that Dungy gives people another chance and sees things in people that we would not take the time to see.

"I really got the sense he wanted to do some great things. He wanted to be a positive role model for young people. He wanted to get back to his family," Dungy stated.

Mike has three kids, a seven year-old boy, a four year-old girl (and like he said going on fourteen), and a one year-old girl; he also has a fiance. Don't worry everybody, Mike will keep his number while playing in Philadelphia.

So in his condition of being reinstated, Mike will be able to play in the last two preseason game and be allowed to do everything with the team except play in the games until week 6. I'm happy that Mike is back and will finally get to play and show his skills and prove that he hasn't missed a beat. I only wish the best for him. I really really want the Eagles to win the Super Bowl this season now. McNabb, Westbrook, and Mike needs ring. Can't wait til the last two preseason games to see

how he is, and he comes back playing against the Washington Redskins, can't wait for that also. I wish he was playing for the Miami Dolphins, but this works too. :)

Joe Budden get's punched by Raekwon from the WU TANG

2009-08-12T14:15:00.000-07:00

So this is an interesting story to me, rapper Joe Budden was doing his online show when Raekwon from the Wu Tang Clan, came up to him and confronted him.The people that were with Raekwon were carrying cameras with them and got it all on tape.

Well before I continue this beef all started when Joe Budden was doing an interview and said he was a batter rapper than Method Man (nigga wished he was). Members of the Wu Tang Clan took it into offense and have been threatening Joe on youtube ever since. So, while Raekwon and Joe was 'talking', a fist flew and hit Joe in the eye real HARD.

Now you gotta go on youtube and check out the videos..I would love to post it on my blog but I I I would post the video on my blog but I a whole lot safer not to for some crazy reason.The best advice I have for Joe Budden is to just drop everything and act like nothing happened. I mean it's the Wu Tang Clan, to me they are like a gang or a mafia of their own. I would never mess with them or anyone associated with them. Hell Joe started it, never say something that you can't back up. Whoever told you that you are better than Method Man lied to you real bad. So, Joe until you come out with a shit album, shut up and stay in the studios or whatever you do before the Wu Tang comes back and leave you looking worse thatn Chris Brown left Rihanna.

Dwight Howard Pictures

2009-08-12T13:50:00.000-07:00

Orlando Magics center Dwight Howard has been a victim of nude pictures hitting the net. He is the first guy that I have heard of but he still a victim. His lawyer stated that the picture is not him and that it was doctored (which I have no idea what that means). I'm just saying that if it true and it is truly him, then he shouldn't be ashamed of the picture. Now I see why a lot of ladies in Orlando and Atlanta are fighting over him. The only reason I see why he wouldn't want this picture of his nice manhood out would be because he's such a great guy with a "Christian" mind, but he's just 23 turning 24 years-old and he will make mistakes. Not only is he young but he's a famous athlete that is in the public eye.

Well here's the picture I just hope I don't get introuble for posting this..lol: That is so nasty (in a good way). I was expecting it to be bigger, but that still works for me. ;)

I love Dwight no matter what, he's still a great center and will be the best center in the NBA. These pictures won't hurt him at all; I wish him luck and I still love and support him no matter what people say and think. But I must say nice..I want to know if someone took the picture or did he take it? I mean if it's real.

Khaliah Clark- Fab Role Model

2009-08-08T10:10:00.000-07:00

Here's an interview of my girl Khaliah Clark that was posted by Darian Murray:

Hailing from West New York, NJ, Khaliah Clark has encountered many obstacles that would have forced many of her peers her age to simply give up. However, Khaliah Clark has a silent strength that has enabled her to go where many have only dared to dream.
Khaliah has embraced who she is and is well on her way to becoming a Household name. Khaliah has been working magic in the fashion industry since 1999. Starting as a sales rep for Full Force Sales with Ozzie Stewart, she went on to work for clothing lines such as Bust Rhymes' Bushy, Karl Kani, and the Ruff Riders’ Dirty Denim Collection. She exclaims, “Fashion is a part of who I am. It’s like a second skin.”
In 2001, Khaliah moved on to work with Balla apparel, one of the leading lines in urban wear. At Balla, she took on a variety of responsibilities, from being show room manager, to assisting the VP of Marketing in all product placements, to contributing to matters of public relations. As a validation of her hard work, Khaliah was invited to host that year’s first ever Urban Fashion Week in Miami. She was more than up for the challenge, “I loved that experience and I knew at the moment that there was nothing I could not do.”, Khaliah states.
Ready for a change, Khaliah moved on to Baby Phat in 2003. Interning first for the VP of Public Relations, she was involved in all facets of the fashion business, including product placement, visual merchandising, production, and styling. She was involved in both the spring and fall season lines, and having once again impressed her colleagues, in 2004 she was named venue manager for the Kimora Lee Simmons Fashion Show at Radio City Music Hall.
Wishing to expand the reach of her work, Khaliah jumped at the opportunity to work for the critically acclaimed independent film, My Brother. Starring Grammy Winning Singer/Actress Vanessa Williams and Academy Award winner Tatum O’Neal, Khaliah’s work as Wardrobe Supervisor provided her with valuable experience in the field of fashion in film.
In May 2005, Khaliah once was again honored with the pleasure of working with Urban Fashion Week, this time as Event Coordinator for the two-day Urban Fashion Main Event in New York. Held in a Westside loft in Manhattan, the event showcased some of the hottest brands in fashion, such as Baby Phat, Akademiks, Def Jam University, Azzure, Ecko Red, and Phat Farm.Currently, Khaliah does freelance work, as a Fashion Stylist, Event Coordinator, and Production Consultant, as well as projects with fashion extraordinaire Roger McKenzie and his agency Brat Pack, Inc.As the First Lady of Brat Pack, Khaliah has worked with an amazing list of celebrities, stylists and TV shows. She was worked with outstanding stylists such as Iconic stylist June Ambrose in which she assisted on the Rocawear campaign, Ne Yo's "Go on Girl Video. And the list of her achievements goes on and on.
She has worked with celebrities such as Mya, R. Kelly, Method Man, Carmen Electra, American Idol’s Paris Bennett, gospel Sensation Nyoki, Rock Icon Joan Jett, and reggae pioneer Burning Spear.
As for TV, Khaliah has done work with MTV’s TRL, BET’s 106 and Park, Jimmy Kimmel Live, VH1’s The White Rapper Show, and most recently she has styled one of the stars of HBO’s The Wire, J.D. Williams while continuing to gather clients and garner a reputation as one of today’s top stylist.
Recently, Khaliah and I conversated about her life and how she has evolved as a black woman and as a Single Mother and what she believes to be her motivation.
Hello, Khaliah, how are you?
Hi, Darian, I am well thank you for asking!
Well, I must ask you, how did you become a stylist?
Well, I became a fashion stylist by interning for Roger Mckenzie of Brat Pack Inc. He introduced me to world of styling. He showed me everything to become successful. It was a life changing experience.
What inspired you to get into the stylist game/Industry?
My love for fashion and my aunt Avis, she always talked to me about fashion and what a lady should and should not wear. I have always enjoyed dressing people up. Whenever my friends would come to my house and I would change their outfit or add to the outfit, they often left feeling and looking amazing. I always would watch red carpet events, movies and videos. I would say, “I would have loved to dress her or him.”
So I hustled my way into the business. I had a passion for it all. I got in the fashion game by making dresses and sexy tops out of promo tees.
Who are some of your favorite designers and why?
Well, hands down it has to be Dolce & Gabanna. Their pieces are just classics. Also, Gucci, Chanel and up and coming designers. I love labels, because their pieces never go out of style. There are moments and then years later Vintage pieces.
I love up and coming designers, because most of the time their pieces are one of kind pieces. Simply because they are designed by the designer. They put they heart and soul into their pieces. That’s what makes a designer a designer.
How have you dealt with the highs and lows of your career?
The Highs are always good, simply because, you really see how far you have grown and what you have accomplished. Personally, I deal with the lows with a lot of prayer and meditation.I always call up my stylist friends; speak to my mom, aunt, or my brother. I complain how bad and grimy the industry can be and then I'm back at it again the next day. In this business, one has to have a thick skin.
What are you doing to give back to the community?
I am mentoring young girls from my church. I am a Youth Advisor, so it’s sort of my calling in a way. To show them that you don’t have to settle in life. I constantly try to empower the leaders of tomorrow.
Being a teenage mother, I know the struggles of being a parent and single parent at that. I try to teach girls that no matter what obstacles or challenges u may go thru in life, you can make it.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 Years?
Honestly, I see myself working on various projects. Also, I will be working on my daughter Moet's clothing line and a positive reality show surrounding the clothing line. I am so proud of her and she already has a feel for fashion that is unmatched. In a way, she has become something of a style Connoisseur herself. She loves the fashion and the styling in ways that often surprise me.
I am also super excited about Clark Boyz. It’s a clothing line created by my nephews. They are all dancers and athletes who have also embraced fashion. The Goal for Clark Boyz isn’t just for someone with the last name but it’s clearly for the young urban gentleman who knows that when he stops, the world stops as well. Each Clark Boy has his own style and swagger and we want the world to know it’s a unique and trusted brand.
The long term goal is to have everyone wearing the brand. I am excited because eventually Clark Boyz will carry everything from backpacks, sneakers and ultimately jewelry. It’s truly about the branding and influence in the market that sets them apart from everyone else.
As for production, I am partnering with KC Rose who founded KC Productions. We also worked together on a ground breaking Fashion Show Entitled “The Fashion Main Event”. It was a smash and we have much more to bring to the realm of production. I head the East Coast division and Stylist Keyonna Cox heads the West Coast Division. The goal for KC Productions is to be the forerunner in the Television and Film Industry.
What would you say to an up and coming stylist fresh out of school?
First off, get a Good Internship, stay volunteering and assisting other stylists. Get all the experience you can. You can work tons of free projects just to build up your name and styling resume. Networking and researching are key factors as well. You must know this business in and out and you have to be a multi tasker and work well under pressure.
What are 5 key things a woman and man should always have in the area of style?
5 things for women:
Stiletto heel;Nice handbag
Accessorize your look always;Having a well coiffed hair
Dental health is Important
Always smelling like roses- A good scent is Key for a woman.
5 things for men:
Clothes that Fit Nice;Correct Hair Cut
Presentable Hygiene
Shoes/Sneakers must be clean always;A Good Scent is also key for a gentleman
Khaliah Clark has proven that even with challenges and setbacks, you can have a positive outlook on your future and that makes her a Bonafide Role Model who is well on her way to becoming a Legend.

Khaliah is like my older sister I love her and support...It's crazy cause we never met personally but we always keep in touch on twitter. So, if you ever need a stylist just hit her up. :)

LeBron James Unlikely to Sign Extension with Cleveland before 2009-2010 Season

2009-08-08T09:33:00.000-07:00

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James stated that he will not sign an extension with the Cavaliers until 2009-2010 season is over and he knows that they are going to win.LeBron's contract ends after the 2009-2010 season and he will become a free agent searching for a new team. LeBron said he will wait til the season is over and then decide whether to stay or leave.

After coming short in making it to the NBA Finals last season losing to the Orlando Magics, the Cavaliers went out and searched for better players to help them get to the Finals this season and keeping LeBron in the long run. They went out to get center Shaquille O'Neal, foward Jamario Moon, gaurd Anthony Parker (who is also Candice Parker's big brother), and working on signing foward Leon Powe.

Hoping this will help the Cavs win a title and keeping the star forward happy, the Cavs front office are pulling everything out of their hats to make LeBron happy. Ireally don't know if this will help LeBron stay. I think it will be very shocking if goes to me personally; Cleveland is his home, all of his family and hometown friends live in Ohio. All of his childhood and career started in Ohio, and not to mention his charity and organization is in Ohio. Why leave? I think he will be the highest paid athlete of all time when he becomes a free agent, it only depends on which team will be paying him. Cleveland Cavaliers or some other team. I don't know I honestly can't see him play for any other team, It's like Kobe leaving the Lakers or Jordan leaving the Bulls. Guess we will all find out next year. CAN'T WAIT!!!!! :)

Titans to Honor Steve McNair This Season

2009-08-06T16:27:00.002-07:00

The Tennessee Titans will honor Steve McNair with an No. 9 decal on their helmets for the upcoming season starting with the Hall of Fame game this weekend. Steve McNair a former Titans player who played 11 seasons and helped them get to the Super Bowl, was found shot to death by his girlfriend Sahel Kazemi, who then killed herself,on the July 4, 2009. The coaches and sideline personels will also have the option of wearing a No. 9 lapel pin.

"We felt this was an appropriate way to honor Steve McNair and the contributions he made to our franchise," Titans owner Bud Adams said in a statement. "We have other things planned for our fans to honor him and the McNair family."

McNair retired in April of 2008 after 13 seasons in the NFL, the last two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He was also inducted in the Titans' Ring of Honor in October of 2008, and the Titans fan has been petitioning online for the them to retire his number 9.

It is a little bit hard for me to write this blog because I do miss him a lot and maybe if he didn't have a crazy chick for a girlfriend he would still be here. I can't even imagine all the pain that his family is going thorugh. I mean seeing how Vince Young took it, just imagine how his sons are taking it. What mother would want to see her own child die before her. But, some of the pain of his passing goes away knowing that they will honor him and make sure no one forgets his name. And no motter what people say about him right now after all this and the side chick and whatever, Steve McNair was a true kind hearted man that put his love for people before himself. I guess God needed him more than we did right now. I hope not only does the Titans honor him, but the whole league honor him this season. So, No. 9 or SM better be on every single helmet this season or I will go off. R.I.P. STEVE MCNAIR

Michael Crabtree Ready to Sit Out This Season

2009-08-06T15:48:00.000-07:00

Rookie wide receiver for the San Fransisco 49ers Michael Crabtree, is prepared to sit out for the whole season and re-enter the 2010 NFL Draft (I didn't know that was possible), stated by David Wells on Thursday. David Wells is Michael's cousin and advisor.

"We are prepared to do it," Wells said. "Michael just wants fair market value. They took him with the 10th pick and you have Darrius Heyward-Bey

[the seventh overall pick by the Oakland Raiders] getting $38 million? This week is crucial. Michael was one of the best players in the draft and he just wants to be paid like one of the best players. This week is very crucial."

But Michael's agent, Eugene Parker, told ESPN that this is not true (who do you think is ling?)."You've known me a long time and I'm not a guy who makes threats. Nor am I a guy who negotiates in the public. I don't know where this came from but no such threat has been made."

David Wells stated that the Niners has made an offer but it is not acceptable and that Michael is ready to start practicing and was held out of organized team activities this spring by coaches only for precautionary reasons (this sounds like crap to me).Michael has also missed the Niners' off season mini camps but was regularly present at team headquarters for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts. Let's not forget that Michael Crabtree is recovering from a foot injury.

Ohhh and for people who doesn't know who Michael Crabtree is well he was drafted to the 49ers in the NFL Draft in April. He was a former receiver for Texas Tech and caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season. He finished his college career with 231 receptions, 3,127 yards and 41 TDs (I do my research and I know what I'm talking bout don't get it twisted lol.). And yea he was good in college, but that doesn't mean you will do the same in the NFL; just ask Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, and all the quarterbacks that came from UM. If this is true then Michael you are being dumber than Jamarcus Russel right now. Just shut up and play and prove to the team that you are worth more than whatever they are offering you and Darrius Heyward-Bey, which I don't know why you gotta put him in your mess. But, if it is not true then Michael I know David Wells is your cousin and that's family and whatever, but he gotta go before he does something that you will regret for the rest of your life. And what's up with all this we David Wells keeps saying, you're not the one in the NFL, Michael is so shut up with all that, messing up baby boy's career for no reason. All I can say is get better and play like you did in college, maybe better and wait til you're like a veteran. Hell right now you sound like one maybe worse in my mind. 49ers, don't give in like the Raiders did last season, he hasn't even played a game to show he's good, don't pay him and he sucks like Reggie Bush or a bust like Jamarcus Russel is right now. Keep Your Pimp Hand Strong Niners!!!!!

Rashard Lewis Suspended For 10 Games

2009-08-06T15:00:00.001-07:00

Orlando Magic's forward Rashard Lewis has been suspended for 10 games. The Orlando Sentinel first reported the positive test early this morning, stating unidentified league sources, the newspaper reported the supplement taken contained DHEA, which is a steroids precursor. In Simpler terms Rashard took something that elevated his testosterone.

In a statement that Rashard released he stated that he took an over-the-counter supplement late last season that had a substance he did not realize was banned by the NBA.

"First and foremost I take full responsibility for the situation and accept the corresponding penalty," Lewis said. "I apologize to Magic fans, my teammates and this organization for not doing the research that should come with good judgment.I hope every athlete can learn from my mistake that supplements, no matter how innocent they seem, should only be taken after consulting an expert in the field," Lewis said in his statement."

Rashard will be suspened without pay for the first 10 games of the seaon (which is nothing in the NBA seriously). Last seaon he averaged 19 points in the Playoffs which helped the Magics make it to the NBA Finals (maybe the drugs died out on him in the Finals).

I really do think Rashard didn't mean to take the DHEA, I mean he is good without. I f you don't believe check his stats before you judge. Thank You!!! :) The 10 games he will be suspended for won't even effect him or the team. He will come and play like that great forward he is. I am confident that Rashard and the Magics will kill this season, well they better since they are my team to win the Finals this season (well I hope they win this seaon). Rashard is a great man on and off the court and I mean at least he get caught sticking a needle up his a$$.

Donte Stallworth Deeply Sorry

2009-08-06T14:21:00.000-07:00

Donte Stallworth said he has done an "irreparable harm" to the NFL and to the family of the man he struck and killed.

For people that are unfamiliar with who Donte Stallworth is and what he has done well let me fill you in. Donte is a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns and was arrested and plead guilty for DUI manslaughter in June for murder. On March 14 (a day before my birthday thanks Donte) Donte was driving drunk and high in Miami beach when he struck and killed 59 year-old Mario Reyes, a construction cane operator. When cops checked Donte's alcohol level, it was over the level in Miami which is 0.08 and his was 0.126, they also found marijuana in his system. He plead guilty for DUI manslaughter and was to serve 30 days in jail which he served 24 days; also his driver liscense is suspended for life.

Donte, who is under indefinite suspension, went to speak with commissione Roger Goodell in New York on Wednesday to discuss him coming back to the league. It is uncertain in when we will get a response from Goodell.

In a letter, Donte said he was grateful that Goodell met with him. Here is his letter that he released earlier today:

"I wanted to meet with Commissioner Goodell before making any public comment about the impact of my actions on the National Football League. I want to thank the Commissioner for giving me the opportunity to be heard yesterday," the letter read.
"I recognize that there is a difference between the legal standard in my criminal case and the standard to which NFL players are held. It is clear that I exercised poor judgment and caused irreparable harm to Mario Reyes, his family, the NFL, its owners, coaches, employees and to my fellow players. Going forward, I am committed to conducting myself in a manner that more accurately reflects who I am and meets the high standard expected of all NFL players. I tried to convey this commitment to Commissioner Goodell yesterday. I respect the Commissioner's authority and I trust his judgment. Whatever he ultimately decides is the appropriate discipline, I will accept knowing that I have profoundly affected the NFL and its relationship with the fans of our game.
"I apologize for my poor judgment. I jeopardized the honor and privilege that I have been given to be an NFL player and to play for our fans. I am truly sorry."

On Wednesday head coach of the Cleveland Browns Eric Mangini spoke to the media calling the Stallworth-Goodell meeting "a league matter, so I can't elaborate anymore."

"Once the league makes the decision they're going to make, then we'll address it then."

I truly hope that Donte and comminssioner Goodell comes with a reasonable punishment. I just hope he doesn't start playing before Michael Vick. So, after week 6 then yeah Donte can come back. I do believe he is really sorry for his action, I mean he killed a man and he will have to live with that for the rest of his life. I really do like the Cleveland Browns for sticking in their and standing behind him through everything and not releasing him as soon as he got in trouble, but that might change soon, you never know. Think about it, what if Goodell suspend for the whole season, the Browns would have no choice but to release and get someone else. I'm just saying if he has to go I'm going for Marvin Harris. But we're going to think positive in this whole thing and hope that Goodell gives him a second chance and he gets to come back. GOOD LUCK DONTE!!!! :)

AFL Is Finally Over and Broke

2009-08-04T10:02:00.000-07:00

A league source told ESPN that the AFL is "suspending operations indefinitely," and an official announcement was forthcoming. Also the league will be filing for bankruptcy.

"It's just unfortunate we're in this situation," Bouchy said, according to the newspaper. "Everyone knows myself and Arizona fought hard to avoid this day. The league was divided into two groups and factions. You had one group of committed owners who contributed capital and willing to do whatever it took to bring the league back in 2010. I have been in that group the entire time. Then there was another group that just wasn't willing to make the investment. We could never get a consensus."

Tampa Bay Storm owner Jim Borghesi posted a message on his Facebook page, saying: "The AFL will be having a press conference to announce that the league will not be returning," according to the Albany Times-Union.

In December of 2008 the league announced their suspension of the 2009 season. In March the players and management agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, and in April a business paln was put together for the owners to review.

But Columbus Destroyers managing partner Jim Renacci, who was in charge of coming up with the adjusted financial plan, told the Columbus Dispatch that despite efforts in the past six to nine months, and with the economy still in a recession, the requisite 75 percent of owners could not agree on the plan.

"When you have 22 different owners in 17 ownership groups, it's very difficult to get a supermajority on most any plan," Renacci said, according to the Dispatch.

This is really sad to hear because I really did like the AFL and it was my second NFL until the NFL season started. I hope the UFL can take the place for that void, even maybe the AFL can work everything out and probably by 2012 they will be back and business. I only wish for the best in that whole craziness.

Roger Mayweather Faces Charges

2009-08-04T09:49:00.000-07:00

Roger Mayweather, the uncle adn head trainer for Floyd Mayweather Jr., was arrested and charged with coercion with force and battery strangulation over the weekend in Las Vegas, on Monday.According to the police report, officers answered a call at a private residence on Sunday morning and found Mayweather with his arms around Melissa St. Vil. He released her, and she begain coughing and splitting blood. The report says that paramedics described redness on St. Vil's throat and defensive wounds on Mayweather's face and head. St. Vil stated that she hit Mayweather in the head with a small lamp as he attempted to strangle her, and the lamp did have blood on it. She also stated that she was hit in the ribs a couple of times.Mayweather was taken into custody and transported to Clark County Detention Center.

I don't know what they were fighting for and I really want to know becasue for a 48 year-old man to do all that to a woman, then she must have done something really bad to him. Probably she owned him money and she ain't want to give it, so he beat her up. Even maybe they were dating but didn't work out. I really want to know what happened and you know I will be keeping you updated on this story.

Marshawn Lynch Still Sunspended

2009-08-04T09:33:00.000-07:00

The NFL has denied Marshawn Lynch's appeal of his three-game suspension. For people that don't know Marshawn Lynch, running back for the Buffalo Bills was suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the personal conduct policy. The supsension was a result for Lynch's arrest on February 11, when the police searched a parked car Lynch was in and found a 9mm semiautomatic handgun in a backpack in the trunk. Police also found four marijuana cigarettes in the car, but no drug charges were filed. That was the second incident with the law following a hit-and-run accident in Buffalo in May of 2008. He pleaded guilty for traffic violation and admitted to driving off after striking a female pedestrian with his car near Buffalo's downtown bar district.

"We are disappointed, obviously," Bills head coach Dick Jauron said after the team's afternoon practice at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y. "We'll lose a real good football player for three games. But, hopefully, Marshawn has learned a good deal from it."

Now Marshawn you know you were wrong for everything you have done, so why are you trying to appeal the suspension? You should be happy that Goddell didn't suspend you for half of the seaon or the whole seaon. Just take your punishment and SHUT UP!!!! Hell you should be happy that the Buffalo Bills aren't releasing you, they got Dominic Rhodes and Fred Jackson, they could just drop you and move on without even looking back. So take your suspension and come back hard on September 23.

Plaxico Burress

2009-08-04T08:56:00.000-07:00

With this story about Plaxico Burress I have been trying to bite my tongue with it because I truly love Plaxico and I really do feel sorry for him. I don't I do feel like he is sorry for what has happen and he is ready to pay for his consequences, but I think three and half years is way too much for him to be serving.

If you're familiar with the Plaxico Burress situation well here's a brief description about the case;

On November 28, 2008, Plaxico shot himself in the thighs at the New York nightclub LQ. When Glock pistol, tucked in his waistband of his sweatpants, began sliding down his legs, he began reaching for his gun and accidentally shot himself. He then went to the Hospital to get help, while his friend and former teammate Antonio Pierce took the gun and threw it away. The next day Plaxico turned himslef in to the police. Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg called the hospital actions an "outrage" and stated that they are a "chargeable offense". He also said that he wants Plaxico to face up to three and half years. Just recently on August 3, 2009, Plaxico was indicted on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and a single count of reckless endangerment in the second degree. If found guilly he could face three and half to fifteen years in prison.

So that I got you familiarrized with the whole situation, I personally think it is unfair that he has to serve so much time. I mean I know he had an unregistered gun on him and he had the safe lock off, but I mean he didn't kill anybody and if he did it would have himself.

I think if he has to serve a lot time then Donte Stallworth should serve time.On March 14, 2009, Donte hit and killed a man with his car in South Beach. You know what he got, 30 days in jail, 2 years house arrest, 1,000 hours of community service hours, 8 years of probation, and a life time suspended liscence. Did I mention Donte killed somebody, when Plaxico didn't.

Plaxico is 31 turning 32 with a family son Elijah and a wife Tiffany. Not to mention his son was just born like probably 2 years ago and needs his father to be with him. Also he has maybe a good 4-5 more seasons in him. So the best thing I think he should do is make the preccess go a little bit faster so he can serve his time and come back to the league.

I think the Dumbest thing Plaxico has done so far was not taking the ple deal they had for him. He could have served 2 years and maybe get out eraly for good behavior or like most people over booked prisons.

I just hope this ends good for Plaxico I'm gonna really miss him if it doesn't. So Plax if you ever read this I'm praying for you. I think if he is really remorseful for what he has done, then God will find the best thing for him in this situation. OH and Antonio Pierce was not indicted in this whole situation and said he will testify again if has to. He want's to do what is right. If that means throwing your friend under the bus then whatever.
