Not quite sure about the choice of music, but check out this video of Glen Davis flopping after delivering a hard foul on Brad Miller. The best shot of it comes at around the 0:30 mark.
The bottom line is that no one likes getting hit in the face. Miller is known for his rough and tumble play so it’s funny to see him get bent out of shape after a hard foul.
The league needs to start fining guys that flop like this.
NBA Troll doesn’t really like LeBron James.
“Sometimes being in the post gets boring,” [LeBron] said with a laugh. “I know it can be easy, but it gets boring down there. I like being on the perimeter shaking and baking it, getting to the cup. It gets boring down there in the post sometimes. That’s why sometimes I don’t go down there, but every now and then, you’ll see me down there.”
The NBA Troll proceeds to go on a rant about why LeBron is “LeFraud.”
I agree that LeBron needs to post up more, and his excuse that it’s “boring” is no excuse at all. If he got a few post up moves, he would destroy people on the block. But LeBron is no fraud. (Do I really have to say this?)
The NFL released the 2009 NFL Schedule today, so I’ll do what the 4,000 other websites do and list some of the more juicier matchups of the year. (Although in the sake of being at least a little creative, I’ll list one interesting matchup for each of the 17 weeks on the schedule.)
Before we get to the matchups though, let me state for the record that it’s a complete farce that the Cowboys get six nationally televised games next year despite not making the playoffs last season. I guess “America’s Team” opening a brand new stadium is worth major national exposure…six times a year.
Week 1: Bears at Packers, 8:20PM ET
Jay Cutler’s first game in a Bears uniform will be at Lambeau against the rival Packers on Sunday Night Football. How much will John Madden overplay the, “The Bears finally have a quarterback” angle after every pass Cutler completes?
Week 2: Giants at Cowboys, 8:20PM ET
One of the ‘Boys six nationally televised games, Dallas will open up their new stadium against division rival New York on Sunday Night Football. How much will John Madden overplay the, “Tony Romo and Wade Phillips must win now because Jerry Jones built this brand new stadium and he wants a contender” angle?
Week 3: Falcons at Patriots, 1:00PM ET
The over/under on the number of times Matt Ryan is compared to Tom Brady in this game has officially been set at 800,994,990.
Week 4: Chargers at Steelers, 8:20PM ET
AFC Divisional Round rematch in Pittsburgh – let’s see if the Chargers can hold onto the ball for more than 17 seconds in the third quarter unlike the last time these two teams met.
Week 5: Patriots at Broncos, 4:15PM ET
If Bill Belichick shakes Josh McDaniels’ hand at midfield after this game, I’m calling shenanigans on the behalf of Eric Mangini.
Week 6: Bears at Falcons, 8:20PM ET
Here’s hoping the Bears’ secondary figured out that they have to cover the out pattern when that’s the only route Matt Ryan can look for when there’s 11 seconds on the clock and he needs to get his team into field goal range.
I have the MLB package for DirecTV and normally you get the opportunity to watch whichever team’s broadcast that you want during a given game. For example, the Tigers were playing the Blue Jays last week, so I tuned into the FOXSports Detroit broadcast of the game.
During the broadcast, FOXSports Detroit must have played this one commercial at least nine or 10 times. After about the fifth time, I started searching for it on YouTube because it was one of the corniest commercials I had ever seen I had to share it with those outside of Motown.
Well, it took a buddy of mine (thanks Drew) to finally find it for me, but he did and now for your viewing pleasure I give you: “April in the D!”
Now you might be saying to yourself, “That wasn’t that bad” or “I’ve seen worse” and I admit, it’s somewhat catchy. But re-watch it about nine more times and then tell me what you think. Watch it nine more times and tell me you don’t want to punch that lead singer with the Pistons jersey and no undershirt on right in throat. Watch it about nine more times and tell me those lyrics aren’t some of the worst you’ve ever heard.
Apparently these guys won some contest and that’s why they were given the opportunity to shoot this commercial. I’d hate to hear what the losers’ songs sounded like…
ESPN’s Mark Schlabach discusses how the poor economy has Michigan fans rooting for their biggest intrastate rival.
Michigan State knows it will be representing more than its school when it plays North Carolina in the NCAA championship game Monday night at Ford Field in Detroit.
The Spartans will also be representing a state and region that have been battered by the country’s poor economy, climbing unemployment rates and crumbling auto industry.
“There are a lot of cities right now that have problems,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “But this is ours. This is our big city in the state. So that’s why I think it’s a little more meaningful for those of us that are from around here.”
Believe it or not, the Spartans’ surprising run to the NCAA championship game is even meaningful for the sports fans who seem to hate them most.
Even in Ann Arbor, where University of Michigan fans only seem to dislike Ohio State more than Michigan State, it seems most of the Wolverines are rooting for the Spartans to beat the Tar Heels on Monday night.
“The first four times Michigan State went to the Final Four, you usually had the crowd here rooting against the Spartans,” said Ron Dreslinski of Ann Arbor, who sat at the bar in The Blue Leprechaun on South University Avenue on Sunday. “This is really the first time you have Michigan people rooting for them. I think it’s because the game is being played in Detroit. They’re kind of the underdog, too, which makes it easier.”
The poor economy in Michigan is a big reason why Michigan fans are rooting for State, but it also helps that Michigan’s most hated rival is Ohio State, not Michigan State. Plus, outside of Duke, UConn and North Carolina are the most universally disliked basketball programs in the country. Add it all up and you have Wolverines rooting for Spartans.
What is this world coming to?
