It must be fun being a referee having to listen to partisan fans, many of whom don’t know a thing about basketball, cuss at you about “missing” a foul call.
It has to be even more fun when it’s the guy who ordered the Code Red in “A Few Good Men.”

There is no blowup here. Just a coach who’s obviously pissed off about losing Game 2 and has to go talk to the media for a few minutes after the game. He gets progressively annoyed by the questions and then settles down toward the end. It is a lesson in composure.
Part of the problem is that half of the reporters that cover the games never played competitive basketball in their lives. Popovich’s response to the “energy” question was a little perplexing. One team can certainly play with more energy than another, but I think his point was that his Spurs were playing hard and the ball just didn’t bounce their way.
A’s pitcher Dallas Braden still hasn’t gotten over A-Rod’s decision to run across the mound following a game last month and has decided to stir the pot with more comments.
From ESPN.com:
Braden said he was particularly peeved that Rodriguez dismissed his actions and words merely because Braden hasn’t done much as a major leaguer yet.
“There’s two ways that I can comment on that, and I’ll give you both of them,” Braden said to CSN Bay Area. “One, I was always told if you give a fool enough rope, he’ll hang himself, and with those comments, he had all the rope he needed. No. 2, I didn’t know there was a criteria in order to compete against A-Rod.”
Rodriguez also is a selfish player, Braden added.“He’s an individualistic player,” Braden told CSN Bay Area. “He plays for the name on the back of the jersey, not the front. I don’t know if he’s noticed, but he doesn’t have a name on the back over there so he should play for the name on the front.”
If this was the first time A-Rod had broken one of the unwritten rules of baseball, then I would call out Braden for overreacting. But this isn’t, and I happen to find the pitcher’s comments funny.
That said, at some point Braden is just going to have to get over it. The game was two weeks ago – let it go, my friend.

According to a report by TMZ.com, the victim in the Lawrence Taylor rape case was forced (by her pimp) to tell the former football star that she was 19.
According to the federal criminal complaint, an FBI agent assigned to the case claims Davis had “caused” the 16-year-old to “engage in multiple commercial sex acts with various individuals” … and even “set the prices.”
The FBI agent also claims that Davis had taken several “almost nude” photographs of the girl on his cell phone in order to obtain customers.
In the docs, the FBI agent claims Davis had sent the girl text messages instructing her to have sex with a client (Lawrence Taylor) on May 5th — but the girl refused.
So, according to the agent, Davis physically assaulted her “in an effort to coerce [the victim] into participating in a commercial sex act.”
According to the agent, Davis then instructed the victim to tell Lawrence Taylor that she was 19 and charge him $300 for sex.
Taylor’s defense team now has a loophole that it can attack. If LT was under the impression that she was 19 because she told him that, then is it considered rape? If he believed he was buying time with a prostitute and didn’t force her to have sex, will he be cleared of rape charges?
Taylor is far from being an innocent bystander here, but this new development may get him out of facing rape charges, which could put him away for four years.

Club Seat has a funny list of the ten worst tattoos in the NBA.
6.Michael Beasley (Miami Heat) – When you have a tattoo on your body that has the word “Supercool” in it, chances are you probably aren’t cool at all. When that tattoo is the size of your back, and in this case says “Supercool Beas”, then you’re definitely not cool and will never have a chance to be cool again in life.
