Apparently this dude is a season ticket holder and is quite known for his pissy attitude when his boys lose. This is after a recent playoff loss and I’m surprised the announcer played it so cool.
I’m even more surprised that they kept the camera on this guy for that long.
Have you seen this commercial yet? I’m not sure what Nike is trying to do here, but this doesn’t remind me of basketball so much as it reminds me of getting together with about 50 brainwashed people, drinking vats of cyanide, and waiting for the mothership to take me away while my body sits lifeless under a white sheet.
Anyone else get that impression, too?
By now you’ve heard about Ubaldo Jimenez throwing a no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. This isn’t one of those situations to dismiss right after reading. The hard throwing right hander from the Colorado Rockies is here to stay as one of the elite pitchers in baseball today.
If you hear experts talk about Jimenez you hear the same thing, he throws absolute gas. He was clocked as the fastest pitcher in the bigs last year with a 97 mph average fastball throughout the season. He registered a 3.47 ERA last season and was absolutely shut down in the second half. His scouting report in off the charts. Opponents hit in the .100′s against most of his pitches.
It’s time we welcome Ubaldo Jimenez to the big stage he is going to be an elite pitcher for a while as long as he stays healthy. Oh by the way, he does all of this in Colorado.
Jason “Mayhem” Miller interrupted a post-fight interview between Gus Johnson and James Shields shortly after Shields beat Dan Henderson Saturday Night. I personally don’t follow MMA at all, but apparently Shields retained his “StrikeForce Middleweight Championship Belt”
Apparently this was also a “blackeye” for the sport….. ummm ok, like the MMA wasn’t a zoo from the get go. Give it some time before it morphs into the WWE..
moving on……..
Chicago fans out there might know what Gapers Block is but for all you other folks out there it’s a web publication that began in 2003. It just show happens that they sponsored a tailgate late last week for the Chicago Blackhawks playoff game.
And wouldn’t you know, the Blackhawks ice crew showed up to entertain some of the audience. They played in a faux hockey game outdoors and showed a little skin in the process.
The pictures of when they take shots and the legs come up are absolute torture.

The studio gangster isn’t going to look so tough sitting on the sidelines.
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 of Boston’s first-round playoff series against the Heat for landing an elbow to the face of Miami’s Quentin Richardson in a fourth-quarter fracas during Saturday’s Game 1.
The announcement was made Sunday by Stu Jackson, NBA executive vice president, basketball operations.
Richardson was fined $25,000 for his role in the altercation.
To be honest, I’m pretty shocked the NBA suspended KG for a game. Not because he didn’t deserve it – he did – but because it’s so rare that a susperstar is actually held accountable for his actions. Who’s going to throw cheap elbows and pound his chest when Pierce is on the ground faking another “injury” now?
As a Heat fan, this is good news for Game 2, but it’s still gonna be tough for me to watch. I tried watching some Spurs-Suns last night and after charge, charge, travel, brick, bad pass turnover, I turned it off. The NBA needs to do a better job of fixing its games.

Mark my words: one of these days, someone is going to call Garnett out on his bullshit and knock his ass out. Nobody buys his tough guy act anymore.
And maybe one of these days when Pierce is writhing around on the floor, he’ll actually be hurt.
