    Wally Walker has a plan - go SuperSonics!

    Wednesday, June 28, 2006, 08:43 PM EST [General]

    I used to think the Seattle Supersonics draft strategy was to draft all white guys in the first round.  It made perfect sense.  Vladimir Radmanovic, Luke Ridnour, Nick Collison, Robert Swift and Johan Petro (I assume that Walker assumed that Petro was white since he is French and was very surprise to find out he was wrong).  But after Walker drafted a 7-footer out of Senegal, Africa I am going to have to admit I am wrong on this one.  We are no longer trying to field an all-white team.  No one would draft an African with that objective in mind.

    Now it looks like we are going to put the twin towers basketball strategy to shame.  Robert Swift, Johan Petro, and Mouhamed Saer Sane will be the triple towers.  WATCH OUT LEAGUE.  We only need two more years to get two more 7-footers that can not score and we can have a starting lineup of young unproven 7-footers with no skill.  The Supersonics are looking to be the biggest team of the future and we have Wally Walker to thank for this master plan.

    Go Sonics.  Go Saer Sane. Unbelievable.

    World Cup Quarterfinals... lets do it again... predictions and preview!!

    Wednesday, June 28, 2006, 07:09 PM EST [General]

    Germany vs. Argentina The Germans are playing at home and playing the best futbol of anyone in this World Cup.  The Argentinians are is deep as anyone with superstars like Tevez, Messi, and Aimar coming off the bench.  Argentina an epic duel with Mexico will need to be at their best to win what surely will be another epic duel.  I like everything about Argentina's squad this World Cup, but I just do not see anyone beating Germany just yet.  In a game that will have goals and glory.  Its the Germans winning 3-2.  Klose is man of the match with a goal and assist.

    Italy vs. Ukraine Odin is going to like this pick.  The Italians finally play to their full ability.  Luca Toni the great striker who has been unlucky so far in this World Cup will break through with a thrilling goal.  Ukraine will try to awnser for a while, but things will run away as the Italians out play the Ukranians and add two more goals in the second half.  Del Piero gets the third goal late in the game.  Italy wins 3-0.

    England vs. Portugal I can not pick Portugal after how ugly that win over the Netherlands was.  They will miss Deco and Christiano Ronaldo will be slowed by his quad injury.   I think Wayne Rooney finally breaks out in this game with two goals and England wins 2-0.

    Brazil vs. France The last time Brazil lost a World Cup game was against a Zidane lead French team back in the 1998 World Cup final.  Now Zidane in his last tour of duty for France is taking on a hot Brazil team once again.  This is going to be a nail biter but the Brazilians will pull it off in the end with a Ronaldinho fast break and beautiful chip of the hands of Bathez in the 80th minute.  Brazil wins 2-1.

     

    Ok we all know I did horrible the first time around lets see what happens this time.

    Charlotte Bobcats draft a diabetic???!!!

    Wednesday, June 28, 2006, 06:00 PM EST [NBA Draft]

    AMMO!!! The STACHE!!! Adam Morrison drafted number three by the Charlotte Bobcats.  I think this is a good home for the guy who loves to score.  I mean even Gerald Wallace was scoring in Charlotte.  His defensive liablility can be covered a bit by all the great defenders on that squad - Wallace, Okafor, Knight.

    Here is the bad news.  You may not know this but Adam Morrison is diabetic.  This is a tremendous stroy but if you live in the Northwest you have heard an Adam Morrisson diabetic story once a week every week for the last four years.  One thing that has not changed about this story.  It has not stopped AMMO from balling it up ( I am talking about scoring not crying).

    I am not a Morrison fan but I have seen him grow as a player and leader since high school.  I don't think he is an overly nice guy, a good defender, or easy to look at, but I must say he knows how to score and hates to lose.  He also has not let diabetes get in the way of his game.

    Congrats North Carolina!! You not only got a great scorer but a beautiful weekly story on AMMO and his diabetes once a week for as long as he plays on the Bobcats.

    Worst call of World Cup + Why Americans hate soccer

    Monday, June 26, 2006, 11:34 AM EST [World Cup Rounds]

    The upset of a century was underway in Germany today.  The scorching heat favoring the fit Australians who were outplaying the mighty Italians at an anything but friendly game of football.

    The 90 minutes was expired and it was still 0-0.  The Australians were up a man after a controversial red card sent off the expensive sports car Mazerratti.  The funny thing is the tackle was so wreckless it took out a fellow teammate more than the Australian.

    The Italians feisty defense was only outclassed by the incredible ability of the Australians to get their butts, chest, legs, or feet in the way of many dangerous Italian shots.  The momentum had to favor the Australians in a game that was sure to go to overtime.  Not only might they be the fittest team scoring 4 of their five goals in the last ten minutes of the game in this World Cup, but they were up a man and had two substitutions left.  The Italians had used all of their subs but could not be counted out because the rare times they were able to attack they were far more dangerous than the Australians.

    Surely we were headed for another overtime thriller comparable to the Mexico vs. Argentina game a couple days before.  Surely it would take a flash of absolute brilliance to win this battle of defense and goalkeeping.  Surely it was not to be.

    Instead once again the referee took the game into his own hands and with time expiring in injury time he awarded a PK to the Italians.  A bold move even if there had been anything near a foul.  Instead Grosso did a gross thing.  He juked one Australian and then juked another (Lukas Neill) who slid in front and past Grosso.  Grosso could have been a real superstar and side stepped the defender he just juked and blasted a shot in the back of the net.  Sure it would have been off-balance, sure it would have been a tough angle, but it would have been a goal and a real way to win.  Instead Grosso steppend over the helpless Austalian on the ground and dived.  A pure bred unforced flop that would make Vlade Divac jealous.  Surely the ref could see that this was not even close to a foul, let alone away to get knocked out of the World Cup.  No but that was not the case.  Instead it was the worst call of the World Cup.  With time expired Francesco Totti netted an unstoppable PK.  Just like that the great socceroo story had ended.  Cinderella's wicked stepmother was the referee and he just shattered the glass slipper.

    I do want to give credit to Totti.  He came in the game late and helped the Italians get some offensive spark back.  A man whose World Cup was in jeopardy a few months ago after a broken ankle came off the bench and made spectacular heel flicks and passes that gave the Italians hope that they could still score a man down.  It is just too bad that the game ended the way it did, and that we were all robbed of seeing the players do something special to win the game.  Instead it was the actor and the referee.

    That is why Americans hate futbol.

    Top 10 Sports Derrieres!!!

    Saturday, June 24, 2006, 06:16 PM EST [General]

    Ok buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the best list in the history of the planet.  Its going to be a bumpy ride full of excitement and controversy, but ladies and gentlemen here it is your top 10 sports derrieres.

    10. Derek Jeter I am no Yankee fan, but lets be honest, no shortstop has made as many hardcore baseball fans out of once uninterested moms, sisters, girlfriends, and wives.  Jeter's moneymaker not only brings in the fans but brings in the rings.  One clutch derriere starts this list off.

    9. Mia Hamm Americans are hesitant to embrace two things in life - soccer and women's sports.  This didn't stop Hamm from becoming a major American sports icon, leading U.S. women to World Cup glory and snagging herself a shortstop of her own.  Jeter has the rings but Nomar's got Mia's ... Hamm.

    8. Danica Patrick Ever been on a long road trip?  If you have you know that as the miles pile on your bumper gets tired and sore.  With that fact in mind it is even more amazing that Danica rides on against the men's top Indy racers.  It is only a matter of time until Danica and her trunk find themselves toughing out a victory lap against the boys.

    7. Cecil and Prince Fielder  I guess a homerun swing really is all in the jeans.  Prince can thank his dad for inheriting a rump that blasts out the long balls.  This new booty might not even have to take the family "Field" trip to Japan.

    6. Nancy Lopez   It is not a pretty site but this old school rump shaker gets a birdie for consistency and sheer mass.

    5. Maria Sharapova Unlike another bombshell blonde tennis star, this girl actually wins.  It is a good thing too, because when you win, we all get to stare... I mean watch you play alot more matches.

    4. Shaquille O'neal You thought that Kobe and Wade were the sidekicks that helped Shaq get four rings.  Wrong.  The only sidekick Shaq needs is his Diesel fueled mid-rear engine.

    3. Ronaldo It takes a powerful behind to get the President of Brazil calling to find out how much excess meat your hauling.  But that is exactly what happened withe World Cup's all-time leading scorer - Fat Ronaldo.  While the world worries about the size of Ronaldo's butt, his coach just keeps playing the superstar and watching his butt... kick!

    2. Serena Williams  When Serena and her kuzunga are in full-effect they are the most unstoppable force in the history of women's tennis.  Serena's booty is so mighty it makes J-Lo's bon-bon shake.  Even the US Army knows where Serena is hiding her weapon of ass destruction.  Congrat's Serena you own the number two spot on the list and the numer one amongst all the women.

    1. Charles Barkley The "Round Mound of Rebound" carved out a Hall of Fame NBA career with a "mound" that could box opponents twice his height.  This tank ass provided power, balance, and surprising hops.  Sure Barkley's derriere had a great NBA career, but what is more impressive is that it also following that success with another successful career.  Barkley is now making good dough talking out of his butt.  Now that is one talented derriere.
