As it appears that the AFL is essentially diminishing there is one team I was really hoping would make it through this economical windfall. And that team is the San Jose Sabercats. When the AFL suspended operations in 2009 the Sabercats were left without too many options and when a new league formed in 2010 the Cats were not selected to be a part of that league.
It’s not that I’m pissed off I can’t be watching Arena Football. It’s that of all the AFL teams it’s pretty evident that the Sabercats Kittens are amongst the elite in cheerleading talent.
And by talent I strictly mean ability to do splits and be hot.

There has to be more to the fine than just this, right? Stern’s going crazy.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has been fined $100,000 by the NBA for comments made about free-agent-to-be LeBron James that violated the league’s anti-tampering rules.
The outspoken billionaire, in an interview this week with CNNMoney.com, said “anybody” would be interested in James. Cuban said it would be tough to sign the two-time defending league MVP in free agency, but a sign-and-trade deal with Cleveland is something he would look at.
Really? Cuban must have said or done more with regard to LeBron, because otherwise he’s getting fined for just saying what everybody knows. There is not a team in the league that wouldn’t be interested in LeBron. Not a one. This reminds me of a time in high school when I got a detention for saying “crap.” Amazing, right? The teacher actually gave me a detention for using the word “crap” casually in conversation. If I was going to get a detention for cursing, I figured I might as well get my money’s worth, so I cursed her out in front of the class. My point is that Cuban should really do the same sort of thing here. If he’s going to get fined for tampering, then he should really tamper. Like, have sex with LeBron’s mom or something. That’s doable.

I guess Kareem Rush can carry a tune just fine, but if you’re going to sing generic, crappy R&B songs, you might as well put your dick in a box for some excitement. Who the fuck listens to this crap, anyway?
At least she’s not banging Jason Richardson.
SCOTTSDALE – The mom of Phoenix Suns player Amare Stoudamire was arrested over the weekend, and we’re getting a listen of a bizarre recording taken shortly after officers took her into custody.
Police say when Amare showed up at the police station, Carrie yelled at him to get a lawyer.
The report read: “(Carrie) had a lot of money inside her wallet that was located inside her purse… she wanted her purse to go with Amare, but she wanted the wallet to go with her. Carrie stated, ‘I don’t trust him, he will take all my money!’”
The officer also said the Carrie insisted she was on her way to alcohol class and had not been drinking.
“Boy that feels good to be arrested and not drunk. Woo hoo!” she says in the tape.
It’s pretty amazing that it’s not double teams or hard fouls stopping NBA superstars, it’s their mom’s embarrassing behavior. Carrie Stoudamire reminds me of a female James Brown, and I wonder if she’s going to be the last NBA mom to make a splash this postseason. They say things happen in threes, right? Maybe Paul Pierce’s mom will make a sex tape.
This is incredible. Calvin Murphy is absolutely convinced that Delonte West was indeed slaying LeBron’s mom. He does sound like he’s telling the truth, has no reason to lie, and the cease and desist order does support the story. Man, I want this to be true. It’ll make the Tiger Woods fiasco look like a blurb on Page 6.
Also, I’m pretty sure Calvin Murphy has turned into Ice Cube’s dad in Friday.
I’m not sure how many of you follow Canadian Basketball what with the NBA Playoffs going on right now but just in case you don’t, did you know that Vancouver has a team called the Volcanoes? I have absolutely zero desire to find out how this team got their name and I’m amazed that a basketball team even exists this far north.
And with guys that can dunk no less! Seriously though, they even have their own dance team. And like any other dance team they have obligations outside the basketball court. Take the Volcanoes dancers for example.
Recently they were just yucking it up at the Hazel Dell parade….whatever that is…
I’m sure right about now you want to read the feel good story of Alizee Paradis. She was a tennis player at the University of Cincinnati, she was noticeably attractive, now she’s a model. Ok to the pictures……
These refs are out of control! Tax fraud, fixing games, and now assault! The power’s clearly gone to their heads.
During halftime of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, DeRosa approached press row with the rest of the officiating crew to retrieve his jacket before heading to the locker room when he reacted to a fan standing behind press row yelling at him by picking up a ball and firing a chest pass in his direction.
The fan, Franz Hanning, who happens to be a personal friend of Celtics coach Doc Rivers and the CEO of Wyndham Vacation Ownership, immediately flipped the ball back to DeRosa while continuing his heckling, prompting DeRosa to request security personnel to remove him. Hanning watched the rest of the game from a different seat.
DeRosa, a veteran official with two decades of experience, will be suspended for the next game he was scheduled to work but otherwise appears eligible to continue working the NBA playoffs.
You know that DeRosa was already furious enough to lose his cool and throw the ball, but Hanning catching it like it was no big deal must have really gotten under DeRosa’s skin. He must have felt like such a tiny bitch. But anyway, of course he should be suspended. And just one game is probably not enough, considering if the fan threw something, he’d likely be charged with a crime. The Artest incident in Detroit made it clear that the NBA absolutely can not have players going into the stands, and now a ref actually throws a ball at a fan and all he gets is a one game suspension? Clearly Stern needs DeRosa around to help fix the games.
