My New Blog!

I still get traffic here (who freaking new) but obviously, I don't post here.

My sports blogging career is in some serious limbo at this point (ie. I'm taking a break from that mess)

So in the mean time, in between time, check out my all-inclusive blog, Non Sequitur (not the comic, folks). And when I start blogging about sports again, I'll let you wanderers know. Thanks.

Athletes and Procreation

In 2008, I had a blog called Athletes and Procreation aka "Athletes Making Babies". The blog got me a WHOLE bunch of attention (thanks to Deadspin again for that). Great work by Steve Delhson on this piece.

UConn and Syracuse are still playing, aren't they?

I just witnessed one of the best college basketball games of my lifetime. The Huskies and Orange(men) battled it out for six overtimes with the 'Cuse going up eight to win the game.

I was on the phone with my homie Alfred from Boston (I know, I'm cool with the enemy but he's cool peoples) and he wouldn't call the game.

Me: "You sure you don't wanna call the game a wrap"
Him: "Nope."
*game goes into [1,2,3,4,5 or 6]th overtime*

Syracuse has alot of fight and Jonny Flynn was their catalyst.

This game is one of the reasons why the Big East is the best conference in college basketball. The ACC wishes it could stack up to this conference. With Pittsburgh dropping today to West Virginia and Marquette losing a tight game to Villanova, the Big East is cementing its stake as the best pound-for-pound conference in the country.

Now, if I'm Louisville, I'm tight. See, Louisville has been trying to make its case for a number one overall seed in the tourney. With Pittsburgh dropping today, it looked promising if they can win the Big East title. Now that UConn has dropped, it negates the Pittsburgh loss and Louisville is back to square one.

If I'm Memphis, I'm juiced.

He Don't Want It....

Kobe Bryant is trippin'. He don't want it with Ron Artest.

Only seconds after Bryant came in, Artest and Bryant faced off and exchanged words before referee Gary Zielinski quickly stepped in to separate them. Both stars got technical fouls before Wafer sank a 3-pointer to tie it at 76.

Artest and Bryant continued to shove each other as Luke Walton hit a jumper to give the Lakers the lead. Later, Bryant stripped the ball from Artest, but then missed a jumper with Artest defending.

Bryant got the final word.

He drove inside and converted a three-point play, then swished a 3-pointer after Artest tried to make a steal. That put the Lakers up 85-80 and Bryant held his follow-through and glared at the crowd before trotting down the court. [Source]

If Chris Childs could one-two this clown...



Artest would knock his ass back to Lower Merion. Kobe must've forgot.

Aww, No Sightings of Steph Curry's Mom This Year...

In three weeks, March Madness will be here and one player might not. Stephen Curry, the Davidson guard that took the sports world by storm during last year's tournament, might be on the outside looking in since his team lost in the Big South semifinals last night. This means that unless the NCAA feels some sorta way towards Davidison, they will be NIT-bound this year.

You know ESPN is hurting by this right now. The hype machine for Steph and this season was out of this world. At one point, he was considered a serious contender for National Player of the Year. While that may not be in jeopardy, the never-ending storyline of this kid - the son of a former NBA player (Dell Curry) who was ignored by every ACC school including his father's alma mater - will be missing this year. Also missed will be the in-game camera shots of Steph's mom.

Without Steph, this year's tourney looks promising. In March, my sleeper pick is Louisville and "The Beast" called Terrence Williams. Dude is the best all-around player in the Big East (he needs to get his free-throw game in order though). If Louisville makes it to the Final Four, expect this kid to blow up especially with his bomb-ass personality. (Yeah, I'm coming off like a simp. I don't give a damn. He'd get it today, tomorrow and yesterday...).

So while we don't have Steph or his moms, we should have a dope tourney.
