RIP Mike

http://www.imeem.com/jackson5music/music/bRpXttSr/the-jackson-5-never-can-say-goodbye/

Wow...damn........wow................:(

the state of the nba....wolfpack blog pre title contenders

the lakers championship was a long time ago....so who are the teams to beat (prior to the draft---maybe this changes in 6-7 hrs)?

the lakers won---great but i think this needs to be put in perspective since the celtics were not healthy....say what you want about my asterisks theory but i don't think the lakers beat the celtics with triple double threat rondo, solid bench play in big baby, and a more mature perkins that would have killed bynum (maybe they get something out of marbury when he actually plays with garnett)....i think the celtics if healthy can still beat the lakers....the only question in boston now is how the organization feels about rondo....shopping him around can't be good for chemistry if no deal is made and if they give up allen they are probably done. i refuse to believe rondo is that hard to play with since he is a triple double guy. i think they know rondo's ceiling and are trying to cash in while the hype is their kinda like ace shopping around bret farve last year after he had a 6 TD game w/ 0 INT.

then we have the rockets....i think they should be better next year with the growth made by brooks mainly....inserting t-mac although not easy should enable them to beat the lakers in game 7 (question is do they get to game 7 with t-mac playing)....i think next year they could with yao, scolla, artest, t-mac, brooks with landry, hayes and von off the bench.

then you got the spurs....people forget r jefferson is a dream teamer (although the worst usa team---i put the failure squarely on larry brown and the lack of a true PG). he has the ability to be a legit number 2 or 3 on a championship squad but he will be asked to be the number 3 or 4....this is nuts....this splits up the grinding minutes from the aging duncan and gino....i think this is huge also considering this will be the easiest insertion, non chemistry breaker of all these aquisitions on a team that does not get rattled anyway. it also another body (paul pierce, melo-like) to throw at kobe and odom even....

of course the big cactus in cleveland....people think shaq will clog the lane too much....this is where coaching comes into play. this is only a problem if you run bron on five offense....if you run plays this is a big help to lebron (he will have more left in the tank at the end of the game). and maybe some of those shots mo, delonte, gibson, wally get are that much more wide open and they can sink the shot since they will be touching the ball. but if the coach of the year runs bron iso, this will be a disaster....who else has a back up center now the caliber of ilgauskus....i think they are shopping big z but i would keep him unless they can get a solid SG (too bad mike miller is not available) for big z (at this age shaq and big z can use EACH OTHER)....either way cleveland with shaq should beat the magic and the lakers (there is no way healthy SHAQ and BRON lose to kobe....shaq will kill to win that series; actually kobe would too but it is like deadliest warrior simulation---i gotta take bron and shaq)....

then you got the magic....i think they could be strong again but this depends on how they manage the skip-nelson garbage....if skip can be happy off the bench he will be one of the best bench PGs in the league...this can be huge if he accepts it and jameer returns to pre-allstar break form (this is key because if jameer sucks, there is no way skip will be content backing up someone he feels he is better than or even if it is wash--jameer has to be flat out better). this playoff experience alone should better them but then again the cavs were in the finals a few years back.

to be objective....the lakers have a wildcard too...if bynum can play a whole season at pre injury form, they will be tough to beat. these arguments are perdicated on the fact that with current bynum, the lakers are weaker down low than the magic, rockets, cavs, spurs, and celtics. if bynum is great again the lakers are tough in the frontcourt and have a legitimate big 4. they also need to retain ariza who could also be better.

right now because of the man made chemistry issues in boston i got the spurs and cavs in the finals and who knows the winner....alot of time left but i love it when the nba starts these one-upping each other trades.

Puppet Commercial Parody

This guy made a few puppet commercial parodies, where he dubs over the voices. This is the funniest one, but there are a few others if you click on this user name (jerseychaser106). Otis and Mo will like this... He clowns on Kobe.


Lakers 2009 Finals Run

Last one, I promise. But this is a well done highlight real of the Finals.

The Way They Work in South Carolina

South Carolina Gov Mark Sanford disappeared for 5 days and was said to be writing by his wife and hiking the Appalachian trail by his staff. His cell phone picked up a signal if Georgia somewhere near the appalachian trail but not on it. He took one of the security vehicles his bodyguards usually drive him around in and dissappeared.

He showed up today and said he was in Argentina for 5 days. Now he has added to that by confessing to an extramarital affair.

What's wrong with this picture:
1. You are the governor and you dipped out like it was the weekend and you aren't on call. Officials considered transferring power. You have to tell somebody where you are, even if you tell them not to reveal where you are.

2. You are the governor of South Carolina, your state sucks by all standards and you didn't even want to accept federal stimulus dollars. How are you going to go on vacation to another country when you govern one of the worst states in the Union?

3. There is no logic to any of his. If this is how he reacts when he is overwhelmed then he needs to find a new job. Who goes to Argentina, has an affair and then comes back and tells everyone? This guy is screaming for help. People thought Vince Young had mental problems, he went to Buffalo Wild Wings and turned his phone off for a few hours....

TO getting ripped... too funny.

What a bum!

my brother will hate me for saying this but can't dispute the picks at o-line much as i don't really care...(maybe pace can make a case).

you can't leave TO off the list at WR.....i think TO is more a snub than moss becasue moss obvioulsy took a couple of years off in oakland and this is for all decade....TO has played well everywhere....holt disappeared at times although he did have huge QB issues for half the decade...it seems like he just edged out bruce as the best WR on the team 4-5 yrs ago....after a super bowl run a few folks ERRONEOUSLY thought azhir akim was better than holt....holt is good but not better than TO (nor moss really but he can beat out moss because he never quit...i guess the folks are factoring in the fact that if TO had holt's QB issues, TO might be out the league by now).

click on monday for the defense...it is pretty straightforward....i am not sure about jenkins at DT and troy at CB but i can't come up with a snub easily so they must be warranted...maybe woodson and winfield at CB. i am not too big on urlacher BUT I UNDERSTAND. i can see bob sanders over troy at safety but troy is more healthy so this is not a unjust travesty.

So what, I like GOOD MUSIK...


I've been listening to The Fray since '08, when I would occassionally login to Pandora. They are a really tight alternative band. It wouldn't hurt to peep them out. If you like, leave a comment and I'll send their earlier stuff.

NBA Draft discussion

So I'm on the phone with my boy Yancy talking about the NBA Draft, and here some things that we are arguing about:

Best point guard in the draft: Johnny Flynn (Y) vs. Ricky Rubio (Me)
Tyler Hansborough belonging in the lottery: Of course (Y, he'll end up being a Shane Battier) vs. He's alright but he's no lottery pick (Me, i rescind the mark madsen comments, i was trippin)
Stephon Curry: SG (Y) vs. PG (me)
Blair should go higher than Thabeet: We agree! From Y, Thabeet ain't shit! If you're going to draft a UConn player, his name should be AJ Price.
Gerald Henderson: He's an NBA player trapped in Duke basketball. You know who he reminds me off, is that guy from Washington (Roy). (Y) vs. My dog can run and jump, but does that mean that he can play basketball.
Ty Lawson: He's not going to be able to finish in the pros, he'll be bouncing up there with the trees like Shaq as opposed to an NC State Center like Josh Powell. He'll be a good distributor (Y) vs. I really think he's getting punished because Raymond Felton ain't shit in Charlotte but he was better than Felton @ UNC. He's legit (Me).
Sam Young: That's an NBA player, he's going to make a killing, he's big and can shoot (Y)
Chase Buddinger: Guess what his real name is, Luke Walton (Y) vs. I don't know who the fuck people are looking at, that guy ain't shit!
AJ Price: is real!

What Do You Think of The Iranian Protests?


Not too long ago, 2000 to be exact we had a jackass steal an election (go watch Recount on HBO if you want a narrative) and we really didn't do shit about it. So all Americans, not just those that voted for the dumbshit named W are partially to blame for the destruction that took place over 8 years. Iran is a much different story. People are protesting the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because it is quite apparent to them that he stole the election. Many Iranians have decided that they are not going to stand for it and have taken to the streets to risk their lives in protest. Obviously there is a difference between our lives and the restrictions placed on Iranians, but the extreme difference in the two reactions is enigmatic.

Some Americans think that the President has not been forceful enough in his rhetoric about the situation. Ironically it's many of those same Americans who are mostly to blame for the fact that we are hamstrung in Iraq and unable to fully pressure Iran and North Korea. I would like to see the UN Security Council step in but 2 of the 5 permanent members, each having veto power, are Russia and China which are highly unlikely to agree to sanctions on Iran. The other 3 permanent members are the United States, France and the United Kingdom. Iranian analysts who have already left the country are backing claims that the election was a fraud. There are more votes than voters, family members of those speaking out are being arrested, demonstrators are being hospitalized.

Could this lead to worldwide support of tougher sanctions on Iran?
How much worse does it have to get in Iran before it will get better?
(There are already strict sanctions imposed on Iran making life for citizens difficult)
Any chance Russia or China is critical?
