The Low Down

Mello you are a lucky motherfucker.

• Why do I hate Duke so much is a question that I constantly ask myself? Even more so around this time of year. North Carolina and Kentucky are just as successful, but I dislike those teams I don't hate them. It's something about Duke that just pisses me the fuck off. I create conspiracy theories around their ability to win even when they are playing at their absolute worse.  
• There are times when your are getting your balls licked and you can't even enjoy it, because you have visions of Coach k cutting down the final four nets in your head. Don't even think about you sum bitches. That's hatred not some homo shit.
• From Danny Ferry and Johnny Dawkins to Bobby Hurley and Christian Laetner. I hate them motherfuckers. Even that lucky charms midget ass floor slapping Steve Wojehowski brought me misery.
• The thing about Duke is win, loose, or draw they are always relevant. They might not have the most talented players, but they pledge allegiance to the Cameron and all that Coach K stands for.
• They get the benefit of the doubt from officials and their games are like fucking informercials for why you should play for Duke or at least become a Cameron Crazy. What other university's crowd has a fucking nickname.
• Please don't even get me started on Dickie V and Billy Packer two of the biggest dick riding buffoons of Duke University on the planet Earth. These two bastards used to battle each other day in and day out for dick riding supremacy over who could compliment Coach K the most. Dickie V is like Fonzworth Bentley to Coach K. He carries his bags, combs his hair and gets the door for him whenever possible. Dukie V wants the term Coach to never be used again after Coach K retires. He said the game of basketball owes him that. Enough said. I'm getting a headache talkng about Duke. I would like to know why each and everyone one of you hate Duke or for that matter any other sports team.
• I am tired of listening to the utter blatant lack of respect that sports fans as well as Philly fans have for Dononvan McNabb. The latest trade rumors have him going to the Raiders and I actually heard Raiders fans saying oh hell no we need to hang onto our second round pick and build through the draft. They say don't need a 34 year old QB coming in and being paid 11.5 million per year.
• Let me get this straight you would rather have a man with child bearing hips and an ass that makes Clay Aikens say I wants some of that running your team. A man that makes Ricky Martin and millions of other men from for their baby oil evertime he drops back for a pass. Give me a mutherfucking break.
• The only people who should have problem with McNabb running the Raiders are The Klan, Rush Limbeaugh and Jamracus Russel's new sponsor Johnson and Johnson. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.
• Time for a new baseball season to start and for renewed optimism to begin. The Orioles will probably start off 7-3, talks of the playoffs will begin, and dicks everywhere will get hard. Then June will hit they will be 20 games under .500 and sales of EXTENSE will go through the roof. Why even bother?
• Anybody including myself that questions how Gary Williams runs his program only needs to look at Calilprari and Kentucky for why the one and done athlete may not be the way to go. Caliprari wins 30 games a year and gets the best players in the land and he hasn't won a title yet. That shit might fly in Memphis, but Kentucky ain't putting up with that shit for long. Ask Tubby Smith who won a title and still got fired.
• Every year Caliprari gets the one and done athlete, wins games gets deep into the tournament and never cuts down the nets. His best players leave and he has to rebuild all over again,allTell while hearing about his failures to win with NBA talent.He coaches lottery picks and franchise players and he hasn't won a title yet.
• Gary gets players, coaches them for four years, and get's props for losing in the second round by a point. His players graduate and some of them play in the pros and others become outstanding citizens in the community. Meanwhile Gary has been to two final fours and won a Natinal Championship. Who would you rather have coaching your team?
• Until next time I'm out like Joey Porter must have been when he smacked a cop's hand away when he was trying to arrest him . In the next edition I will give my top 10 reasons as to why I hate Duke and I will reveal my top 10 wrestlers off all time in honor of HBK.

The Low Down

Everyone keeps talking about realignment and different ways to fix baseball and I am sick and tired of hearing the bullshit. Apparently the head buffoon Bud Selig has put together a panel of hand picked buffoons to come up with ways to change the competetive balance in baseball. Why they didn't seek the advice of Romeo Igromo AKA THE END ALL I will never know. After six months of slaving in winter meetings on some remote tropical island full of beach babes whose full knowlegde of the english language lends itself to the words yes and Papi. This group comes back with a theory of rotating teams in and out of the American League East to give teams a chance to play in divisions in which they have a better chance of competing by not having to face the Yanks and SOX every year. To simpletons and buffoons this sounds great! The Orioles , Jays, and Rays can play in other divisions and someone else can come get their ass whupped. Only one problem this just causes different teams to cry for help and the Yanks and Sox still dominate. I know put the Cubs, Phillies and Mets in with the Yankees and Sox and make them go head to head. Hell no!If you think they go all out now to beat the Orioles,Rays, and the Blue Jays. What the hell will they do when faced with that type of competition. No one will be safe. Their payrolls will sound like the rev gross for Avitar or Titnaic. The only way to cure Baseball of it's cancer is too impliment a salary cap with a ceiling and a bottom and make the schedules much like football where they are based on your record from the previous season. Imagine the divisions still the same , but the Yanks and Sox having to play the Angels and other top tier teams more than the bottom tier all along having the same payroll restrictions as everyone else. You could go over your cap to resign your own players, but you would have to pay a penalty tax for doing so. That way the Yanks and Sox could still spend more, but the playing field would be leveled from a financial stand point. Don't get me started on front office shit and the farm system that a whole different blog. That's my take. Let me know what you think. All that from my office in Bmore, Md. and I don't even get paid for this shit

• Those pics I found of Stacey Dash are from her Playboy shoot and let me just say goddamn. She is 40 going on 22. I think Jamie Foxx is hitting that. Fuck you Jamie.
• My boy Brad Piff came up with something the other day when he said with all of the supposed Kobe stoppers out there. Where the hell is the Quenn James stopper at? Think about that shit. Jordan had his pretenders who thought they could stop him like John Starks, Gerald Wilkins, Byron Russell and Craig Ehlo. Kb 24 has had Bruce Bowen,Bonzi Wells,Dohntay Jones,Tashawn Princess,and now this clown matt barnes who thought they could stop him. I'm not even going to capitilize his name. We will just call him the foon. Has anyone ever tried to D up the Queen and make it his life mission to try to and get into fights with him. The foon who has never really found a home in the NBA tried his damnest to get under The Mamba's skin and get him thrown out of the game. The next time that happens to Lebron will be the first time. Either guys fear retaliation from Delonte tech 9 West or A PIMP NAMED STERN has put out that memo that says fuck with The Queen and I will fuck with you. He doesn't get fouled hard, he get's no technicals, and he has never seen a consistant double team let alone been involved in a confrintation. Kobe and Mike got fucked with, but Queen James hasn't. Go figure. Oh yeah and foon you may get to see the Mamba again in the finals. Talk that shit then Bitch.
• On the topic of KB 24 and Mike, you know how I feel about that argument. Just think about this for a moment if Mike is considered the absolute best to ever play the game hands down and Kobe is always compared to him, then what does that make Kobe. The second best ever. Those two players are never compared to anyone else and when you think about if there was no Jordan you all would be dick riding the hell out of THE MAMBA. Just a thought but the second best ever tag ain't bad, but Kb24 would never settle for that shit.
• Another game winning shot for THE MAMBA. In a national poll conducted by ESPN 80% of the people chose Kobe over the entire NBA to take the last shot of the game. Only 20% said they would like Dwade,Mello, Jesus Shuttlesworth,Queen James and the rest of the NBA deciding the outcome for them. Once again when this man retires you will miss him and be sorry you are forced to watch the Nuggets and the Cavs batlle it out for supremecy.
• The acquisition of Bouldin and the resigning of Mason damn near puts the Ravens in the Championship game. No excuses now Baltimore. You have your playmaker. Now it's on Flacco's ass to get the team to the promise land. I want to see who you are going to blame now when you loose to the Colts.
• Say it aint so AI drinking, gambling, and fucking Bitches. That sounds like a weekend in Vegas to me. When I see a picture of AI looking looking like he did in his mugshot photo then I will believe he is down and out. He has made over 200 million in his life and I hope he didn't do the shimmy like Antione Walker and spend all of his  goddamn money. That would be a shame considering you achieved all of your fame without practice.
• I'm out like that dumbass look on the Chris Bosh face last night after his boys got jayed up.

What's Causing All This

With the acquistion of THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW RVD,THE CHARISMATIC ENIGMA JEFF HARDY, and THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR things are looking up for TNA. Ever since Vince McMahon purchased WCW and ECW the wrestling world has waited for a company to emerge and take on those bastards up north. TNA has desire, the talent, the X division, the 6 sided ring and a nation of unhappy wrestling fans backing them in up their fight against the WWE. Only ego and bad booking could fuck this situation up. Use AJ STYLES, KURT ANGLE, CRISTOPHER DANIELS, RVD, AND JEFF HARDY to showcase pure wrsetling and athletic ability in the ring and utilize Big Sexy, Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, and Mick Foley to work the mic and bring a strong backstage presence to elevate the work of the new comers. I'm going to give you a chance just because you have RVD and AJ STYLIN AND PROFILIN STYLES ON YOUR ROSTER. Do the the right thing and make the X Division Title the most coveted trophy in the sport and watch your popularity grow. That's your advantage over the WWE , so showcase it and highlight it. Your roster has the talent. Now you have to let them perform. I look forward to this Monday night battle and hopefully TNA can emerge and one day I can see those guys in person.  These pics of AJ STYLES AND RVD are for my boy Brad Piff. Enjoy and see you on Monday Nights. I'm out like ECW.

Random Thoughts

Do you know what the Carolina Bias is? It exisists in the ACC and it rears it's ugly head from time to time. If Carolina and Duke aren't ranked nationally in the top 5 and aren't competing for the ACC title then it's an off year in the ACC. If everyone else is playing well, but these two aren't then the ACC is viewed as being mediocre. Duke and Md. are playing for ACC supremecy and because the Tarheels suck the ACC is not viewed as a national power. This is complete and utter bullshit. No it's not Romeo. It is called the Carolina Bias. Like it or love this shit exists and there is no changing it. Win or lose I'm going to enjoy watching my Terps play tonight in a game that counts and fuck you, the announcers, the media and everybody that has a problem with Mike Lowery. (THAT'S A BAD BOY REFERNCE TO THOSE OF YOU KEEPING SCORE).

• RANDOM THOUGHTS:
• Is it just me or are the Duke Blue Devils the only annual top 25 team that has a token black guy in their starting 5 instead of a token white guy. I think white guys with game dream of playing for Coach K the way devout Muslim Rafiq Abdul Ali Baba Gibson dreams of eating that pork.
• Don't be fooled by Queen James dick riding of Jordan and wanting the number 23 be retired around the league. I told you before Queen James has an ego and he don't give a fuck about Jordan. The Queen has his eyes on someone else and it's KB24. He knows that if he is to stake his claim as the Queen of the NBA he has to overthrow The Black Mamba. What better way to start than to have his jersey be the top seller in the NBA. Ever since The Mamba switched from 8 to 24 his jersey has been number#1. Queen James figured he would stir up this bullshit about paying homeage to MJ, while all the while positioning himself to takeover the NBA. Starscream shit at it's finest. If I can't beat him on the court. I damn will off the court. Lil Dez can't be happy about this shit.
• Outside of Lakers Celtics can someone tell me what the best rivalry in the NBA is right now. The only one I can think of is Gilbert Arenas vs Common Sense and that shit is one sided right now.
• Mello's game has come a long way, but the Mamba taught him somethging when they played Sunday. You have to make adjustments based off of the way a team is playing you and there is nothing wrong with being a decoy. Basketball is not figure skating there are no points given for degree of difficulity or for artisitic impression. Once again KB24 is playing a different game than Mello and The Queen and come June the results will show it.
• Mr. Vasquez has played himself into the discussion of being one of the greatest Terps of All Time.The only things missing are a signature win over Duke and post season success.Even if those things don't happen he should still have his jersey retired and his career at Md. should be celebrated.
• There are rumblings around The Ravens front office that signing T.O. could be a reality. While you are at it why don't you go get Marvin Harrison, talk Jonatahn Ogdon out of retirement and I heard that Barry Sanders has been keeping in good shape. What about Brian Westbrook? He only had 3 concussions last year and this just in Pac man Jones has enlisted the help of World reknown rain maker Mike Irvin and he swares up and down that he has given up Ass for the Lord. Amen
• Please keep the NCAA tournament the way it is and stop trying to reward mediocrity. It's bad enough 9-7 teams get to play for rings in the NFL, but I don't need the Akron Muskateers qualifying for the postseason with their 14-14 record.
• Tony Kornheisher was right when he basically called Hannah Storm a 4o year old hoe trying to live out her scholl girl fanatsies. Leave the short skirts, tight shirts and the Ugz boots, to big breasted, finely toned girls who still have their twenties to look forward too.
• Hey S.dot enjoy the pics. They are for you.
• Hey Brad Piff I  went to Shoe City today and I was disgusted. Jordan's with sale tags on them. $60 Jack Purcells, and Dunks that make even Stevie Wonder say What The Fuck. As long as the shoe industry disrespects my intelligence and brings out the bullshit that I saw today. My pockets will continue to stay fatter than Big Shirley at a Pork over Beef rally.
• I'm out like originality in Hip Hop.
