Time for another quick edition of Snap Takes & Sinister Spin…
Has Vida Guerra been in Tiger’s lair too? If not, she should have been…
How the mighty have fallen. I have no doubt Tiger Woods will come back with a vengeance when the PGA season resumes early next year. However, he is going to be a punch line for a very long time…
What is it with skanks women throwing themselves at professional athletes? It doesn’t even matter if the athlete plays basketball, football, baseball or golf. Even tubby guys like John Daly and Phil Mickelson aren’t immune. In a way I can relate though. This phenomenon has trickled down to the blogosphere as well. Almost without exception, your intrepid blogger is bombarded on a daily basis with women who want to hook up…and this is just on the way from my mom’s basement to the mailbox.
Here is a recent tweet from the guy who inspired this feature, @RicBucher:
Sources give 1 reason why teams shy of AI: yelled from back of Griz bus, “I played for a dumb #!@ last year and I’m playing for one now!”
Over/under on Iverson’s second stint in Philly: 10 weeks. By Valentine’s Day AI will likely be contemplating retirement again. As soon as Lou Williams returns to the lineup, The Answer is going to become a cancer. It’s inevitable…
I’m now about 3/4 of the way through The Book Of Basketball and have read nearly every word (even the footnotes that appear on virtually every page). While Bill Simmons delivers a few dozen laugh out loud quips/jokes/stories/anecdotes, the book is far from a masterpiece. Despite his best efforts, Simmons is simply unable to distance himself from certain biases and a propensity to rehash pop culture references from lackluster 80′s movies. The book also sets a Guinness World Record for usage of the word ’poor’ in a context other than discussing an indigent or impoverished person. After hitting triple digits (poor Mokeski, Barry etc.) I lost count. Having said that (thanks Larry David), I would definitely recommend the book to all Simmons fans and NBA junkies. Grade so far: B+
If Ron Artest was trying to divert some of the media glare from Tiger Woods by admitting that he drank Hennessey during halftime of games when he played for the Chicago Bulls, I don’t think he’ll succeed. Sure, it’s a newsworthy story but Tiger’s peccadillos will be front and center for the rest of the year…
Sinister Spin – I could go in a number of different directions today, however, I think I’ll simply link to a Broadband Motion Picture called Who Shot Mamba? It’s a thrilling Whodunit featuring a memorable performance by Inflatable Ben. If you thought Halle Berry’s sex scene in Monster’s Ball was graphic, wait until you see Inflatable Ben (Wallace) in action.
