There are still a few series to be played. Spurs and Jazz (as if that’s a better matchup than the Spurs and Suns). Pistons and Cavs. Spurs, Pistons. Who cares? What the NBA did to the Suns will remain the real story of the Playoffs, and the rest is a big yawn. Too late, doesn’t […]

NBA Screwjob of Phoenix Now Complete
No players or coaches are allowed to say much against “the league” – the gestapo of NBA basketball, for fear of getting fined or benched (or deported?) but everyone hinted around the real issue tonight as a talented Phoenix Suns team finally ran out of gas and lost game 5, after having been forced to […]
Spurs Make Mockery Of NBA Rules
NEW YORK, May 15 — Robert Horry of the San Antonio Spurs has been suspended two games without pay and Amaré Stoudemire and Boris Diaw of the Phoenix Suns have each been suspended one game without pay for their actions in last night’s game, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, […]
Joey Crawford was Right!
NBA – sore loser rant begins here >> I was surprised to see Joey Crawford call 2 “T”s on Tim Duncan a few weeks ago, ejecting him from a game for essentially just laughing at the ref. But after watching game 4 of the Denver Nuggets vs. the San Antonio Spurs, I’m starting to see […]

Dear MSNBCtv: From Keith Olbermann’s show, to your “Worst Person In The World”feature, to Hardball, I’m thinking, you can’t really get much moreoffensive than that… so if you’re going to fire IMUS, why not justshut the whole network down? You’ve done enough damage for one decade I think. One thing will be true after Imus […]

And the award for Best Over-Acter Goes to…
I rented Mystic River from Netflix, and managed to make it through the whole film despite being repelled by the protagonist’s character and by the over-acting of Sean Penn. Come to find out later, Sean Penn won the Oscar for “Best Actor in a Leading Role” for his portrayal of Jimmy Markum, an arrogant self-absorbed […]
Borat – The sound of throwing up
Imagine the sound of someone vomiting: “Borat!” “Borat!” After hearing the hype I rented the movie from Netflix. Although there were some laughs in the beginning, the movie became increasingly disgusting, until I reached the point of ejecting the movie sometime after the “do you clean my anus?” dinner party. Amazingly Rottentomatoes.com gave this movie […]
Another Successful Non-Union Company
Toyota to Build $1.3 Billion SUV Plant in Mississippi This is about 10% of what Ford lost last year. Chump change I guess, for these players. But I have to ask myself why Americans are so sworn to buying Japanese cars, and can we somehow get a grip before we lose our entire auto industry? […]
