Well today L.A. threw the Lakers a parade for winning the NBA Championship. It’s not like the city actually paid for it though. Instead “private donors” were solicited for the funds and it took the L.A. City Council two day to vote yes to that.
Since the city of Pittsburgh willing shelled out for not one but two parades this year for their championship team certainly Los Angeles could do the same for the Lakers. I mean L.A. should have a better economy that Pittsburgh. I suppose the whole state of California is bankrupt and here I thought the Terminator guy who made Twins was taking care of all that. What, people in Southern California are careless with their money? Get out of here!
Also today marks the 15th anniversary of OJ’s “slow role” through the streets of Los Angeles, coincidence? Conspiracy theorists unite!
Here is the perfect story of father’s day 2009. It seems that Jonathan Weaver of Las Vegas recently had a problem but poorly chose the wrong way to correct it.
Jonathan wanted to watch Game 3 of the NBA Finals Tuesday of last week but he had to baby-sit because his girlfriend selfishly had something to do like school. So while watching her two kids (ages 1 and 2) he started desperately needing sports. Just then he had a brilliant idea. He decided to tie up the kids in their car seats, bind their hands (so they wouldn’t mess with his tools, you know safety first), tie a rope around their necks, stuff a cloth in their mouths and leave them in the garage. I mean it isn’t his fault he couldn’t afford that cage at Petco. After that he went to PTs Pub and watch the game. Now since he isn’t 21 I’m sure how he was allowed in, however if the bar isn’t checking IDs anyway, why not just bring the kids with you? Not one, but two designated drivers.
Jonathan’s reasoning for all this was nothing short of a Mensa member:
Police said Weaver didn’t think leaving the children was a big deal “because they have had campouts inside” the garage.
The mom wasn’t charged with attempted murder however she is currently preggers with this moron’s kid.
All kidding aside, I get knots in my stomach when I think of what those poor kids had to endure. Oh, and I do hope the bound and gagged routine is allowed in prison. They love child abusers there.
Sure the Lakers won the NBA title last night however judging the number of arrests, as a whole Los Angeles is weak rioting city!
Injure cops √
Smash store windows √
Looting √
Destroy police vehicles √
Act like a complete idiot √
Setting bonfires in the middle of the street √
Everyone take comfort in knowing that no Laker Car Flags were injured during the looting… thank goodness!
That’s all nice but there were 76 arrests after the Phillies won the World Series in 2008 and Los Angeles only had 25 arrested last night. WEAK!!!! I expected better damn it! All you did was the same stuff that occurs in places like Oakland and Detroit on a daily basis.
People can talk about DiMaggio’s hitting streak, Cy Young’s 512 wins, or Wilt Chamberlain’s 10,000 women, but the record that will never be broken in sports is the level of destruction and general buffoonery in Philadelphia after the Phillies won the World Series. I thought this was in reaction to The Hangover winning the weekend’s box office again.
Alabama football will be forced to give up 21 wins from the 2005-07 seasons. Does that really hurt? No, not really. In all 16 athletic programs and 201 athletes were involved in a textbook scam.
Five players were suspended from the team in 2007 after it was revealed that they used their scholarship benefits to gain free textbooks for other students. Officials were immediately suspicious when athletes decided to pick up any textbooks at all. However, since the violations allegedly started in 2005, any victory from those three seasons that those players participated in would have to be vacated. The school will also be on the never ending probation for three years and have to pay a fine.
Vacating wins means absolutely nothing. It doesn’t take back the booster money or tickets sales that those wins generated. The only true way to hurt a school is to take away scholarships, and the NCAA will not be doing that, even though Alabama is a multiple repeat offender. This particular offense is very minor and so is the punishment, even if the NCAA probably wants you to think otherwise.
Mike Price is celebrating by heading to the strip club…”Roll Tide, right coach?”
Notice Adam Morrison sporting some G.I. Jane haircut while having the look of a lost doe on his face. That look pretty much sums up his NBA career. Seriously, it would be hard to guess from just this picture who the alleged rapist is.
Fact: I was a National Recruit out of High School including multiple Pac-10 offers.
Fact: I was a scout.com (4) Star QB labeled as a dual-threat. I learned a complicated offense that calls for a pocket passing QB.
Fact: I’m a life long UCLA Fan. I love UCLA Football. Most Bruin fans have been very supportive/good people.
Fact: I’ve always worked hard in the classroom as a student athlete where I’ve been recognized as a UCLA Honor Roll student.
Fact: I’ve competed hard in games and on the practice field, in film and meetings where I’ve always come prepared, attentive, always taking notes. Read the rest of this entry »
Bob “Huggie Bear” Huggins, the West Virginia basketball coach and professional heart attack victim, recently showed up at a fundraiser sporting two black eyes. The reason for the black eyes? Well, much like that Luka kid Suzanne Vega sang about, he got his ass kicked by the bathroom door.
West Virginia University athletic director Ed Pastilong, left, and WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins are shown Sunday, June 7, 2009, at a fantasy camp basketball banquet in Morgantown, W.Va. Huggins kept his sense of humor as he sported two black eyes and a welt. He says he stepped into the edge of his bathroom door late one night. Pastilong’s right hand was in a cast from recent surgery.
Was he dancing on the ceiling when he stepped on the edge of the door?
I’m calling BS on that one I don’t buy it, his gut would prevent his face from ever reaching the door first and in Morgantown, a black eye is just called “having to be told twice”. Also it doesn’t explain the hair for that matter. He does seem to have won the fight with the 10-piece bucket of the Colonel’s half-fried and half-grilled.
What do you tell a college coach with two black eyes?
The Bengals have a program for elementary-aged students in Cincinnati where if a student makes an “A” honor roll for two periods they’re invited to the exclusive “Academic Achievement Party” held at Paul Brown Stadium.
One can blame technology but I rather think that Coach Lewis enjoys crushing the dreams of kids. In a world where recorded phone messages are dialed out, Lewis’ pre-recorded message went out to about 20,000 elementary school students regardless if they could spell, read, write or addition. This is like when WVU accidentally admitted Chris Henry.
Cheviot resident Melissa Miller’s 13-year-old daughter, Josie, hadn’t expected the invitation because she knew her grades didn’t quite stack up. But after hearing Lewis’s voice on the phone, 20 minutes of “jumping, high-fiving and texting all her friends” ensued.
It was all for naught.
“When you’re trying to encourage kids, it’s hard to take,” Miller said.
The pre-recorded message was only supposed to go out to 2500 kids not 20,000. So Lewis did the only thing he could do: He recorded another apologetic message and rescinded the invite to the non-honor roll students. Lose-lose situation. Students were, naturally, distraught, learning at a young age what it’s like to be a Bengals fan. As a consolation, the troublemakers were invited to try out for the team.
This is a missing episode of 227, right? Wrong! This is the same woman who wore a Gators jersey on the Senate floor to congratulate her alma matter. By the way she bumbled through that and it was embarrassing to watch.
Now she has cursed the Magic with this little bit that was done before game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Someone just got served…nothing says you’re a passionate fan like saying “go team”. She probably cheers for Tech and State U. and all the other nameless universities you see in every ATT/Doritos/Johnsonville commercial.
It is truly a magical moment when Maxine Waters is not the stupidest person in a room.
This is the Long Island Ducks mascot Quackerjack. I’m really not sure what he is doing to the poor man and honestly I’m too afraid to investigate any further. My theory is that John Rocker took the mascot gig after he got cut from the actual roster.
