Cry me a river why don't you

"Everybody complaining about the lockout! Shoot I'm making the most of it! Vacation, rest, relaxing, appearances here and there! I'm good!" he wrote. "Right about now we would be slaving in 100 degree heat, practicing twice a day, while putting our bodies at risk for nothing."
Then he wrote

"FYI last tweet was a joke! Relax people damn it's called sense of humor! Cry me a river why don't you..."

Anyone who's upset at Reggie Bush's tweets and are reading deeper into it, needs to fucking chill. Our whole world needs to discuss and try to find a deeper meaning in every tweet, word and everything that people say that they take things out of context. Reggie Bush's sarcasm was just that. It wasn't anything about his work ethic or his mentality, it's a shitty situation, why shouldn't he be able to laugh at it.

Also, I hate that people go after him for using the word slaving. When he said that I'm sure his intention wasn't meant to belittle slavery. If you have ever been down south and specifically New Orleans it fucking sucks in the summer. It's a million degrees and the humidity matches it. Thinking about 2 a day practices in that type of environment makes me sweat.

If I were the Saints this would have zero influence on me. He will have an unbelievable year with Mark Ingram being the featured back. People need to chill out and lay off people some times. At least he's not trying to get all political (I'm looking in your direction Rashard)

Letter to LeBron The Asshole

Dear LeBron,
I have a couple of pet peeves in sports and someone relating a game to war and his teammates to soldiers is one of them. Here is what you texted last night:
20+ games left in phase 2. I’m ReFOCUSED! No prisoners, I have no friends when at WAR besides my Soldiers.

It's another example of an athlete being completely ignorant. You get paid hundreds of millions to dunk a basketball, not patrol land mine laced roads in Afghanistan for what, comparatively speaking, pays nothing and could cost you your life. You have no idea what it is like, if anything, you are the furthest removed from a situation than anyone in the USA. People have been fawning over you since High School and then you signed a 100 million dollar shoe deal right after High School. Don't belittle the war and soldiers please.

Also, getting passed the the stupid war and soldiers analogy, LeBron stop trying to be fake tough, you fucking homo. You are the biggest ego maniac in the world and cares what everyone thinks of him. If you want examples look at your What Should I Do commercial, his retweeting mean tweets, and The Decision. There are really only a couple bad bood teams that mind their own business and that would be the Celtics and the Lakers. I can't speak for the Lakers so much, but the Celtics really just don't like people. Even during the All Star they didn't even talk to the other players who were there teammates.

Also motherfucker if you were ReFOCUSED you wouldn't have blown a 21 point lead against the Magic, you wouldn't have missed yet another clutch 3 and you would be able to beat a team that had over a .500 record.

So LeBron, like I end most of my posts directed at you....

Die

Karma Comes back to LeBron

After the Lakers demolished the Cavaliers by 1,000 points the other day, LeBron (Who is embracing his role as the villain, tweeted this)

One who the hell is he to be tweeting something after watching another team beat the Cavs. if he did it after he played the Cavs that would be one thing. But to watch some other team take care of business and leave a smug tweet is kind of BS.

Second, LeBron doesn't really have the right to say anything with a championship ring missing in his trophy case. He needs to prove something before he can talk. And to cop out with God at the end of the tweet is pretty cowardly too.

But the best thing that happened with all of this, is that Karma came back and bit him in the ass as he tweaked his ankle last night in a loss to the 13-24 Clippers. If you don't believe in karma, you have to admit the coincidence is pretty funny.

I hope this is one of a series of terrible things that comes LeBrons way.

Ozzie Guillen's Son Sounds A Lot Like His Old Man

“I’ll always respect him as a person and give him credit that’s due,” Jenks said. “But I want to play for a manager who trusts his relievers, regardless of what’s going on (Boston Herald)."

That's what started an absolute twitter rant by Ozzie Guillen's son (Oney Guillen)...

"hahah memo to bobby jenks get a clue u drink to much and u have had marital problems hugeee ones and the sox stood behind u."

"u cried in the managers office bc u have problems now u go and talk bad about the sox after they protected u for 7 years ungrateful"

"they did not air out ur dirty laundry, u came to [spring] not drinking and then u sucked and started [drinking] again be a man"

"and to think u were actually a cool guy and ur word meant something, to bad u dont hit in the AL so they can drill that ***"

"and u say the manager didnt trust u? he kept putting ur fat *** there and u kept blowing it, he never took u away from that role unreal"

"one little story remember when u couldnt handle ur drinking and u hit a poor arizona clubby in the face i do."

Wow, overreact much? This isn't the first time this guy has shot off his mouth. Oney Guillen was fired last spring training from his job as a video coordinator for sending negative tweets about the White Sox. Then during the season he didn't stop, as he sent tweets about about White Sox general manager Kenny Williams is terrible.

Yet, in some ways I have to agree. I didn't like Jenks comments. He won a ring there, they did stick by him for the most part, and Jenks really didn't give him a lot to work with since his velocity and effectiveness were spiraling downward. Still, this was a complete overreaction.

Charlie Villanueva Blasts KG

KG and Charlie Villanueva got technicals last night, but it hasn't stopped there...

Villanueva tweeted: "KG called me a cancer patient, I'm pissed because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke ... I wouldn't even trip about that, but a cancer patient, I know way 2 many people who passed away from it, and I have a special place 4 those."

Before the game against Boston on Tuesday Villanueva tweeted: "KG talks a lot of crap, he's prob never been in a fight, I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him (ESPN)."

I bet KG says a lot of awful things on the court, so this really doesn't shock me at all. Is it over the line? Probably, but KG plays with fire and likes to get in guy's heads. Plus he is 100 times back then anything Charlie Villanueva will ever be, so if I was him I'd just let it go, or at least actually fight him instead of Twittering him to death.

Artest Blasts Doc Rivers

As if the Celtics/Lakers rivalry needed anymore gasoline in the fire...

"At the time Ron Artest obviously in another world, so he probably didn't hear Doc Rivers immediately following the Lakers' Game 7 Finals win over the Celtics, when Rivers made special effort to point out that the Lakers still hadn't beaten the Celtics' starting five (Kendrick Perkins was sidelined with an ACL injury) .

In recent days, Rivers made the rounds and in an interview with John Thompson on ESPN 980 he said it again. Word apparently worked its way to Artest, who two months after the Finals appears to have come down enough to take Rivers' comments as fighting words (Boston.com)."

Here are Artest's tweets

- "Doc got one million excuses..
Just come back this season a take what you want..."

- "Boston lost to lakers because of Kendrick Perkins injury. What about in 08 when Bynum was injured. What about this year Bynum was injured .."

- "What about Kobe played with a broke finger .... What about Ron artest defense When the Boston staff said Ron artest was too slow" (of course this ass-clown speaks in the 3rd person)

As much as I hate to admit Artest is kind of right. Bottom line is that you either win or lose, you can't sit back and just make excuses, but I also see what Rivers is doing. I think one of the biggest things for the Celtics is to have all these old guys keep believing they can still do it. Sounds simple, but I believe comments like that make them believers.

I really just love all of this. The Yankees vs. Sox has lost some of it's nastiness, but Celtics/Lakers is more then picking up the slack. The addition of Shaq, history, and these comments have done enough to get the most lethargic NBA fan interested.

Shaq Challenges Jim Rome To Fight

On "Rome is Burning" Wednesday, Rome said the Celtics should not sign the free agent center, insisting O'Neal had not lived up to expectations in his long career that included three championships with the Lakers. Added Rome: You never approached the game with the dedication and discipline of Kobe Bryant," the former teammate with whom O'Neal had a public feud.

In his response, mixed in among insults, O'Neal challenged Rome to a boxing match at the ESPN studios.

Tweeted Shaq:

"Those that dnt respect your hard work, its ok, make em respect u as a person."

"If u wanna see shaq box jim rome live on espn. I do if he wins ill donate my salary to a charity of his choice."

"And forget the back and forth jim rome, I challenge u to a boxing match, live at espn studios, show the world if u can bak up the tuff talk."

"Jim rome, I am happy with my career and the legacy that I have left behind, obviously u r not happy wit yur legacy I 4got u have no legacy about"

Responded Rome on his own Twitter feed:

"Really? You're getting hooked and want to fight a guy with no legacy. You're better than that. Thx 4 checking in. Bn 2 long."

I hate Jim Rome so much, but I'll give him credit that he had a nice comeback there at the end. Saying that, someone needs to take a shot at Jim Rome. He deserves it, and it hasn't happened in far too long (last time was Jim Everett). This should be interesting to see if this verbal sparring match will continue.

The John Daly Saga Continues...

We reported yesterday that a writer published a story outlining Daly's lengthy PGA Tour disciplinary file. Well, Daly was not happy about this and today twittered the journalists number saying "Call and flood his line and let's tell him how we feel".

Ok, first off this is fucking hilarious, and I love when celebrities strike back against the media. Saying that, this really isn't the journalist's fault. He is not making any of this up, and it is public information since this file was released in 2005 during a lawsuit against Daly.

Daly has made this mess for himself. He can blame it on anyone he wants to, but at the end of the day how can he? This journalist didn't make him drink, show up to event drunk, or be cited by the PGA 21 times for failing to give full effort.

I love your antics Daly, but you can't blame anyone but yourself for the mess that you are.

Chad Ochocinco wants to fight Shawne Merriman for real

Ochocinco has came out and not been descret about his dislike for Shawne Merriman recent. Here are some of the quotes in no chronological order:

"I think back when we played last time," he continued. "I can't remember. I don't know. You know what, I think I copied his dance after I scored, and I think it pissed him off." -Ochocinco

"Tough? Why? That's not how I look at things. I'll whoop his ass, right now, like Will Ferrell. Yeah, like in 'Step Brothers."' -Merriman

"Merriman sent Ochocino a twitpic of the two players' faces superimposed over those of actors Ferrell and John C. Reilly in an advertisement for the movie "Step Brothers" with the message, "see u sunday."" -CBS Sports

"I will beat Shawne's head in, right now," he said. "It's not even fun. This is not in fun. This is personal. Bring it on. It is what it is. I think he might be one of the only people I don't really get along with. I want to fight. I'm not sure how to get the fight on without him suing me." -Ochocinco

"It would be a joke man," "It's like a little kid, you hold out your hand and you hold their head and they swing, you know, and they can't do anything. It's one of those things." -Merriman

"Roger has nothing to worry about in this case. I'll keep it legal -- as possible," -Merriman

Ochocinco is 6--1, 192 pounds. Merriman is 6-4, 265

My Take:

I love Ochocinco with a passion. I think his antics are wildly hilarious and it's great for the game. Other than the many times his mouth and some of his actions have gotten him in trouble with his team, his lively flavor and attitude is fun to watch. The man certainly works extremely hard and has elite talent....but not....as a fighter against Shawne "steroids" Merriman. Did everyone just overlook and forget that it was only 2 seasons ago that Merriman was suspended four games for taking performance enhancing drugs? *This whole only four games thing in the NFL blows my mind but I'll save that article for the next player that gets caught and no one cares. Anyway, back to the fight...is Ochocinco seeing the size of Merriman? Merriman is a fucking monster to put it boldly and frank. Like I said I'll be one of the first people to defend Ochocinco's actions but if this is real, I'm genuinely concern for the injury that would keep Ochocinco off the field come the hopeful playoff run. Being as all these quotes came before Chris Henry's death this morning, I don't see Ochocinco or Merriman even caring about one another. Sure they will hit each other a few times during the game but beyond that, they're going to play and leave.

Ocho...if you read this...here is your touchdown celebration sunday if you want to keep stickin' it to that "lights out" bullshit (obviously it comes with a fine almost equal to my yearly salary but I respect it every time):

>Bring a battery powered lamp (turned on all game)...bring it either to the endzone or the Charger's sideline and simply just turn it off......and only if your winning.

I can't think of anything that would be more subtle that would piss off Merriman more than that. And for the record, Step Bothers is a fantastic movie...kiss the baby Shawne Merriman you Tia Tequila Chris Browner

Be Great

Larry Johnson Rips Coach

Here is a guy I am really sick of...

"Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has belittled his rookie head coach on what appears to be his Twitter account, saying Todd Haley has "nuthn" when it comes to NFL-quality credentials. The remarks were posted several hours after the Chiefs (1-6) were routed at home 37-7 by San Diego.

One tweet read: "My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches."That is followed by: "My father played for the coach from "rememeber the titans". Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn."

Haley did not play high school or college football. He attended college on a golf scholarship. He was hired by first-year general manager Scott Pioli to replace the fired Herm Edwards. A spokesman for the Chiefs said Monday it was not certain if the tweets, posted under the alias of "Toonicon" were posted by Johnson. The Kansas City Star reported, however, that Johnson had said the online alias is his and the account includes a link to Johnson's personal website.

The final post read: "Make me regret it. Lmao. U don't stop my checks. Lmao. So 'tweet' away."

The tweets drew responses, including one that referred to a nightclub incident in which Johnson was accused of spitting in someone's face. Johnson's response include a three-letter homophobic slur (Sportsline)."

As of right now there is no way to prove that this is Larry Johnson, but I really wouldn't doubt it. He is a piece of shit, and this totally sounds like something he would say. Johnson had all the ability in the world, but all we are going to remember is him slapping women, and his fucking big mouth. If I was the Chiefs I would trade or cut him. Kansas City isn't going anywhere for awhile, and Larry Johnson is a waste of space, so either get some draft picks or at least clear some cap space.

NBA Bans Tweeting During Games

"The NBA on Wednesday banned players from using Twitter and other social media sites during games. The league sent a memo to teams telling them that cell phones and other communication devices can't be used from 45 minutes before game time until after players have finished their responsibilities after games. That includes halftime. The rule applies to "coaches, players and other team basketball operations personnel." NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed the memo and its contents. The memo did not specify penalties for violation of the rule, and said teams are free to create their own policies for practices and other team events. The NBA has more than 1.4 million followers on Twitter, and many players are active on it (Sportsline)."

Thank fucking God. I am so sick of this twitter shit. Sure it is useful for us to break a story, but if I was a coach/owner I would ban this right away. Players heads need to be in the game not stupid fucking twitter. Hopefully all leagues will do the same.

Twitter is the Gift That Keeps On Giving

First of all, I'm calling bullshit on Rodney Harrison claiming his twitter page was a fake after getting into a back and forth with Kerry Rhodes. That shit was as real as Fitty's brother's page but at least Marcus had the balls to back it up and offer a half assed apology. When Rodney realized how juvenile he looked he bailed.

All that said, I don't feel too bad for him when T.O. comes out on his twitter and destroys Harrison for some comments he made during Football Night in America. Rodney makes some pretty bold statements on the NBC and he takes shots at a lot of players and coaches so it's not a surprise some active guys return fire. To wit:

1. Hey rodney! Send me sum steroids 2 the Bills facility next week!about 10 hours ago from MogoTXT
2. Is tht Y u used steroids b/c u were worried about ur stats or ws it b/c u were losing it? Lol! U're a loser & a cheater? Got any steroid ...about 10 hours ago from MogoTXT

I could less about Rodney Harrison! Anybody tht using steroids, yes
STEROIDS rodney, is a cheater & cheated the game!about 10 hours ago from MogoTXT
It's just a shame Rodney's twitter page was fake otherwise we could see some fire works.

Hackers Shut Down Twitter

"A hacker attack shut down Twitter on Thursday morning, and Facebook also said it was "looking into" possible site problems. Twitter said in its status blog Thursday that it was "defending against a denial-of-service attack," in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through (FoxNews)."

Oh Man!!!! What the fuck am I going to do without knowing how big Shaq's dump was today....It's just anarchy out there.

Schwarzenegger Wields 2-Foot Knife in Twitter Video

"In the video, which was posted Tuesday, the Republican governor (Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sitting at his desk in the Capitol admiring a 2-foot-long folding knife before looking up to thank followers for their budget-balancing ideas (FoxNews)."

WTF? California is almost at the point of declaring bankruptcy and Schwarzenegger is doing videos with a huge knife making jokes......HILARIOUS. Good for him, at least he is going down with a sense of humor. Not sure I would be real pleased if I lived there, but since I don't this is fucking awesome.

More Nonsense From Ochocinco

"Although the NFL has issued a decree saying that players who use Twitter during games will be punished, Ochocinco remains steadfast that this won't stop him. The Dayton Daily News chronicled his latest thoughts when he appeared on video, saying, "There's a lot of things they [NFL] don't want me to do. I do it anyway. They know that. I don't know why they even fussing about it. ... When I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it, regardless of what they say (ESPN)."

Ugh, this guy bothers me so much. Listen, players should not be "tweeting" during games. It is just foolish. Chad should be focusing on getting his career out of the shit pile that it is currently in instead of informing all of about his ass rash he gets from his jock strap. OK, that was unnecessary, but I am sick of this guy and I hope the NFL kicks the shit out of him.

Ben Roethlisberger Has Cancer

No just kidding, but a lot of people thought he did because some dude created fake Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts, claiming to be Big Ben. He then passed out the rumor that he had cancer. Hilarious? Yes... but this kind of stuff has been happening a lot, and these sites need to find a way to make sure that the person starting the account is who they say they are. Anyways, still good stuff...

Mark Cuban Fined for Criticizing Refs

What's with this "Twitter?." I know about Myspace and of course there is Facebook, but this new Social Networking site Twitter seems to be all the rave amongst pro athletes as of late. Charlie Vilenueva of the Milwaukee Bucks was recently chastized by his coach for blogging, or "tweeting" during halftime recently during a game against the Celtics and now the NBA have slapped Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a $25,000 fine Sunday for publicly criticizing the officials after Denver's 103-101 win over Dallas last night.

Cuban used the Twitter online social network to complain after Friday night's game that Denver's J.R. Smith was not called for coming off the bench to taunt Antoine Wright after he missed a shot near the Nuggets bench.

Cuban said in another posting Sunday that he "can't say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does."

In an earlier meeting of the two teams, the Mavericks owner was fined $25,000 after becoming upset about a foul that wasn't called on Smith. Cuban offered to donate the money to whatever charity Smith chose, then suggested he'd give it to the fund for a gruesomely injured hockey player. (AP)
