I apologize for addressing this so late. My internet was out for two days because the infrastructure in East Atlanta can’t handle a rainstorm. “Targuy” Ngombo The Timberwolves drafted 21 year old Congolese (by way of Qatar) SF Targuy Ngombo with the 57th pick of the 2011 NBA draft. At least, that’s what they thought, [...]
I always thought Cowboys RB Felix Jones looked like a rocked up Dave Chapelle. The other morning I was reading Mediatakeout.com (my morning coffee) and it appears Dave’s body has caught up: (Dave Chapelle, now swoll) (Felix Jones)
Since THE CHALLENGE: RIVALS is a sporting event as much as it’s a show, it’s pointless to “review” it. So in the style of people I am going to blast this to on Twitter, I am going to running diary each episode. 0:00-1:00 The intro namechecks the time Julie tried to kill the other [...]
I didn’t take mushroom tea and sit in the first row behind the home bench at a Hawks/Magic playoff game, but if I did, this is what would have happened. This is Philips Arena, its naming rights are owned by Philips Electronics, one of the biggest electronic companies in the world. Yet, the light has [...]
I only watched the first bit of this years draft, this is what tickled my fancy: The draft was moved from Midtown Manhattan to Newark, I hope it was at least in Newarks “Green Zone”. (this sign is actually 47 days off) I’m pretty sure Roger Goodell (or Goddell in King Britt’s English) is jealous [...]
Of course, this was followed by a faux apology and then the obligatory “my facebook was hacked”. “My twitter/facebook” was hacked” is the 21st century’s version of “I take the fifth amendment.” Both are greeted with the notion of, “ok you might get away with this time but we are definitely watching you now motherfucker,” [...]
Webster’s Dictionary defines Grifting it as the art of getting over at sporting events. At least, in my version it does. This is the first installment of the Grifter’s Guide, and it deals with how to drink more for less money at games. Don’t Feel Bad: Stadiums aren’t content with charging you outlandishly high prices [...]
There has been a lot of smoke regarding a Shaq Sex Tape and thankfully it appears those embers have been stomped out (apparently by Main Street Crips). For a while there have been quiet whispers (and conversations with detectives) about Shaq’s infidelities and dealings with women. I think I speak for humanity when I say [...]
Since it’s Sunday and there’s nothing remotely resembling football on the horizon, here’s a 23 photo sequence of a fight at the Old Meadowlands (RIP). It may not technically be classified as a fight because I didn’t see any punches thrown, but it started as this fan walked over and yelled something at an usher [...]
In 2008, I lived in Vegas and had the privilege of attending the Las Vegas Summer League. It was like a basketball expo, littered with rookies, coaches, all stars, reporters, retired players and hardcore fans from around the country. It was held at UNLV’s basketball arena, which has a practice court and a regular court, [...]
