For a Jewish dude, I’m pretty knowledgeable when it comes to rap music. I’ve never heard of Mellow Mel before, but apparently he made a rap song about Dwight Gooden. It’s one of those late-80s rap songs with forced rhymes and cheesy breakdancing beats that sounds like it was written by a fourth grader, which may be why I’ve never heard of him. With lines like, “From New York City to Hollywood, everybody knows the Doc is good,” lyrically, this rap isn’t much better than The Super Bowl Shuffle. I can’t help but imagine a bunch of dudes with dangling earrings and short, pink tank tops that don’t cover their stomachs doing crappy robot dances to this song.
I suppose it’s a fun song simply for the sake of nostalgia, but the novelty wears off around halfway through. For forced rhymes, I’ll take Brother Marquis seven days a week.
Things keep getting better for the Stanford Cardinal, who just this past weekend made the Trojans look like the sisters of the poor, as it was announced that Tiger Woods will be an honorary captain in the Cardinal rivalry game against Cal this coming Saturday.
Coach Jim Harbaugh says it will be an honor to share the sidelines with “the greatest competitor of our generation.
He will also be honored at halftime when he will be presented with a plaque signifying his induction into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame.
Woods spent two years at Stanford, winning the Pac-10 and NCAA championships in 1996.
Yeah he’s a golfer that will just be a fan. But as a fan, I refuse to believe we actually have no impact on the game itself, so in my convoluted mind it certainly doesn’t hurt the Cardinal to have Mr. Woods standing on the sidelines. Perhaps if they win, another Stanford alumnus, Kal Penn, can stop by for a celebratory joint.

Well the Knicks are pretty crappy right now so it couldn’t hurt right? Maybe?
Allen Iverson’s short career with the Memphis Grizzlies ended Monday when the two sides mutually parted ways after only three games. The 10-time all-star guard and former MVP was waived by the Grizzlies, who signed him to a one-year, $3.09-million contract late in the summer.
The Knicks passed on acquiring the four-time NBA scoring champion last season when he was being shopped by the Denver Nuggets and again during the offseason when he was a free agent. But at this point, with the Knicks off to a 1-9 start and frustration brewing within the long-suffering fan base, could the team be desperate enough to make a play for the 34-year-old Iverson – [Via Newsday]
Alright New York. Let’s think this one through. Would it be pretty sweet to have one of the fiercest competitors in the game in a Knicks uni? Yeah I guess. Am I being sarcastic? Yes and no.
You want my reasons for Iverson sporting the blue and orange? OK, here they are

5 Bad NBA Contracts that will have you shaking your head – [NESW]
The shit is really gonna hit the fan in Charlotte now
The Golden State Warriors have banished disgruntled forward Stephen Jackson to Charlotte.
In a deal that NBA front-office sources said came together quickly Sunday night and received the needed league approval Monday morning, Golden State sent Jackson and guard Acie Law to the Bobcats in exchange for veteran swingmen Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic.
Jackson had asked the Warriors to trade him to a contender, preferably the Cleveland Cavaliers or any of the three Texas teams – or the New York Knicks. He instead goes to the Bobcats, who entered Monday in second-to-last place in the Southeast Division with a 3-6 record. The Bobcats have never made the playoffs – [via ESPN]
Well not only did the Warriors give a big F-you to Jackson, they might have actually improved as a team. But that’s not the real issue here folks. The real issue is what the hell is Jackson going to do now that he’s a Bobcat?
Personally the guy got what he deserved. He signs a long term contract then starts bitching like immediately? Look I know Don Nelson wears really tight shirts but it can’t be that bad can it Stephen?
Well, I can think of five things he’ll do in Charlotte
To say Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weis is “feeling the heat” is, admittedly, a massive understatement. The guy’s ass is as red as a stop sign, thanks to the proverbial hot seat he’s been sitting on since signing his massive contract extension when it seemed he was the savior of Notre Dame football. Alas, following a loss to Navy and Pittsburgh, it seems the Irish faithful have given up on ole Weis.
He goes down as the biggest, most colossal failure ever. Worse than Tyrone Willingham by far. Never has anyone been blown up to such proportions, at Notre Dame of all places, and then done so little. The whole thing was just hot air.
I loathe the Irish. In my opinion, the movie Rudy is the only good thing to come out of Notre Dame. When the media started heralding Weis as the second coming, I laughed, knowing his Brady Quinn led Irish teams were only good enough to pound on the crap teams that filled their schedule. Despite my loathing of all things Irish football, I can’t help but feel for Coach Weis. Continue Reading »
I suppose this is what they mean when they say someone has “fuck you” money. There’s just something about Bud Adams that makes me think his double-barrel is more cute than offensive. I’m sure he’ll get fined for this, but when you’re the owner of a football team, any fine has got to seem like peanuts.
The Bills have quite a history with the Titans/Oilers – the Music City Miracle and the Bills’ 32-point comeback in a 1993 playoff game – so I imagine Bud gets really amped up any time his team faces the Bills. In any event, he’s adorable. You’ve got to admire his technique, too. Not only does Bud put the middle finger up, he shakes it around emphatically in case you can’t tell what he’s doing. If you’re going to flip someone off, don’t half-ass it. Bud’s got the right idea.
Frank Wycheck must be proud.
Late in the fourth quarter of yesterday’s Jags/Jets matchup, running back Maurice Jones-Drew took a knee at the one-yard line instead of running into the Jets’ endzone for a touchdown. With the clock continuing to run, Jacksonville was able to kick a last-second field goal for the win. Jones-Drew was aware of the fantasy implications stemming from his unselfish play. From ProFootballTalk:
“To my fantasy owners, I apologize,” Jones-Drew said with a smile. “I have myself today, so it was a tough call. But whatever it takes for a victory, that’s all that counts.”
I love when professional athletes acknowledge the gigantic world of fantasy sports, and it’s so cool of MJD to recognize that he must have pissed off a lot of fantasy owners yesterday. I was actually playing against him, so you can imagine my joy when he took a knee.
Really, how many running backs do you think would have unselfishly taken a knee and sacrificed their own statistics for the good of the team? Do you think Larry Johnson would have done that? I know I wouldn’t have, even if it was an over-30 flag football league. Everything is leverage to get paid, and personal glory trumps team wins every single time. Get that money!
(I’ve been dying for an excuse to post the above clip, but then I realized that I probably don’t really need one.)
