You always think of New York as a Yankees town, but this parade was proof that there are plenty of Giants fans out there. The streets were absolutely flooded with people. I hope everyone had a historic day. The parade speeches by the players — yikes.

It’s always a special day here at Unathletic when we get to do a Flagrant Foul Showdown. Here are they contestants..

Kevin Love – Love, his team’s leading scorer and rebounder, was suspended for two games by the league for “driving his foot into the upper body and face of the Rockets’ Luis Scola as Scola was lying on the floor.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – His latest red card, for a slap on Napoli’s Salvatore Aronica on Sunday, has resulted in a three-match ban which will see him miss trips to Udinese and Cesena, plus – crucially – the San Siro clash with Juventus at the end of the month.

Kevin Love

vs.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Verdict: This might be the most challenging showdown I’ve ever done. Both fouls suck. Ibrahimovic’s is a class, fairy soccer foul. Love’s is just stupid. I think I’m going to go with Love simply because right before the stomp he threw Luis Scola to the ground like a rag doll. Ibrahimovic’s gets a two game suspension for that open-handed nonsense… fuggin’ soccer.

I find it pretty funny that the Suns and Knicks have similar records this year.   And it’s evident that the Knicks are the highly superior team in terms of personnel.   Yet another sure sign that Mike D’Antoni completely sucks and all credit should be given to Steve Nash.   Does anyone even think about the fact that Nash is 38 years old?  Yes, 38.

Anyway, I’m going to get really angry talking about this so I think it’s time to focus on some of the Phoenix Suns dancers.   I mean if there’s one thing to like in the desert, it’s these girls.

Check out some pics after the jump….

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has passed former teammate Shaquille O’Neal and moved into fifth place on the NBA’s career scoring list. Bryant needed 24 points to pass O’Neal entering Monday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. O’Neal retired with 28,596 points. Bryant nailed a long jumper late in the first half to give him 24 points. O’Neal and Bryant often clashed, even while leading the Lakers to NBA championships in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

I wonder how Shaq is going to try and discredit Kobe here?  The fact of the matter is;  for a long time Shaq has had Kobe envy. He hates that Kobe’s name is mentioned with Michael, and he’s nowhere to be found. He truly wants people to think that Kobe wouldn’t have won a thing without him (which could be close to true). Here’s the bottom line; I don’t really like either guy – but they are ambassadors for the game of basketball. I know the game of basketball is in a better place because of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal. It’s just obnoxious that they’ve also incorporated all this nonsense into their legacies.

Would you miss it? I think not. It’s pretty funny when you think about it. The NFL would be the only professional sports league in America without an “All-Star” game. I really don’t care.. thoughts?

I’m not a huge Lebron fan, but I think he hit the nail on the head with this reaction. How do you not chuckle a little bit after you watch yourself jump over a guy and dunk. It’s a nice dunk, will never compare to Vince Carter though.

What a weekend in the sports world, and I’m not saying that just because of the Super Bowl. There were all types of great sports on this weekend. It was a man’s dream.

Unfortunately, it’s Monday morning (yawn). Nothing but a long week staring you right in the face. It sucks. I’m not ready to surrender the memories of this weekend just yet.

Unathletic has put together the top 5 Epic Performances of the Weekend to get you through this morning…

5.) Missouri vs. Kansas

No. 4 Missouri rallies past No. 8 Kansas on Saturday night. Down 8, three minutes left… no problem, man. Big Ups to Marcus Denmon who scored 9 points in the final two minutes, while Mizzou went on an 11-0 run to win the game.

4.) Northern Iowa vs. Creighton

What a tremendous ending to this game! Have to give it to Northern Iowa, but Creighton helped the matter. This game was a sniff that we’re getting close to March Madness.

3.) Manchester United vs. Chelsea

Down 3-0 — no problem, man. Manchester United showed their class by leveling with Chelsea after falling behind 3 goals. Chelsea fans were completely disheartened. Epic performance, epic game.

2.) Aaron Rodgers wins MVP

Rodgers earned 48 votes to two for New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Packers star is the first Green Bay player honored since Brett Favre concluded a run of three straight seasons as MVP in 1997. Have to give A-Rodg some love here for an epic win.

1.) New York Giants vs. New England Patriots

I’m having a hard time trying to put my finger on this game… It was good, but it wasn’t good. It had a couple nice moments, but for the most part it was pretty mundane. Congrats to the Giants. You can’t spell elite without ELI!

It’s still pretty early, but I think it’s safe to say the 76ers are going to be in the mix for the East. That’s not really saying much seeing it’s probably the weakest conference in the history of the game.

Anyone else geeked up about the Superbowl?  Call me biased but even if you’re not a Pats or Giants fan I would have to think that most of the country is pretty psyched to watch this thing.   Maybe I’m wrong and maybe I’m saying this because I am in fact a Giants fan.

But come on.  Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned rematch being played in the house that Eli’s big brother built?   Other than this kind of big game on Sunday I’m not focused on too much right now.

However, we did manage to get some pretty tasty sports photos during the week.  Enjoy them after the jump….
