Nice Job Bahb!!!

Sorry all, I was at work with the man holding me down so I could only make a quick comment on the Piazza sham...I mean marriage...

Bahb, this was some brilliant reporting!

That picture....can you say, 'deer caught in the headlights?'

I don't blame Alicia Rickter a bit, ex-Playboy model, ex-Baywatch star, that's a lot of ex's!

Ex, this-or-that doesn't pay the bills.

Then there's Piazza, with a career coming to an end that needs, and will get, endorsments...

...now that could pay some bills!

Factor in the attempt the Mets are making to be competitive, add in the playoff bonuses that of course are in Piazza's contract....

...and our girl Alicia just hit the jackpot!

She still gets to have her boy toys, and finally afford them.

And,

Mike Piazza still gets to have his boy toys too!!!

What an arrangement!!!

Piazza can sell himself, to pimp conservative companies crap, and still maintain his lifestyle!

And it only cost him an ex-Babewatch Co-Star, good business move Mike!

Attention:

Any lesbian golfers out there looking for a fake husband? I'm up for it! We could go out to the clubs, hit the VIP rooms, and pick up chicks together! It'd be great! C'mon, call me, email, whatever!

I'll work cheap!

I only want a big house and a Porsche!

How easy is that!

Time To Chime In.

The Fu2rman been staying out of the Superbowl talk until it got a little closer. So it's just over a week away and it's time...

TO, TO, TO, blah, blah, blah, I've heard more than enough!

Terrell Owens is not that important to his team and how effective will he really be on such a tender ankle? I don't care what he says about god healing him, it can't be at 100% yet! The true key to the Eagles success is Brian Westbrook. But you know what? F#@& talking about the Eagles right now, I'll do that later.

Patriots!

That is a much better topic. Remember a guy named Peyton Manning? Yeah, after this season, he now holds the single season record for most touchdown passes. Guess how many he threw against New England. I'll help you remember, it rhymes with freakin' ZERO! For that matter, the only points the Colts put up was a single measly field goal. So do you care what TO does? Play or don't, it doesn't really matter.

Then, the Pats roll into Pittsburgh where they face the number 1 defense in the league, and what happens? The Pats drop 41 points on them!

I hope Philly isn't convinced that this is their year, 'cause they're going to be dissapointed.

Lawyer Milloy, Another Big Mouth That Won't Win The Superbowl

Lawyer Milloy is a jealous fool!

He decided to mouth off against the Patriots.

He said the Pats don't pay their players enough, especially their stars.

It's no suprise he would say that, before the 2003 season the Pats were having salary cap issues, Milloy refused a pay-cut that would have kept him in New England. He must have only remembered one line from Jerry McGuire, "pay me the money!" which I applaud, it was still a crappy chick flick.

Milloy got the money, but now he has to play in a Bills uniform! YUK!

At least with his money, he would be able to afford a really nice house, with a great entertainment system and super comfy couch, on which to watch the entire playoffs!

Let me be clear, I don't fault the guy for wanting to make the money he agreed to in the contract he and the Pats signed. I don't blame him a bit! I may have done the same thing in that situation. He played in New England for 7 seasons, and all of the sudden,

"Hey, Lawyer, that contract you signed, we were just kidding, if you want to stay here, it's going to be at $1.5 million less than we agreed to."

That kinda sucks, but the Pats are committed to winning! That is what I love about this team.

In the era of the salary cap, what else can you do?

The Pats have made a habbit of paying their players well, but not huge crazy money. They sell it to free agents with "come play here, we win Superbowls, or go make more money elsewhere, the choice is yours."

This is why I say Milloy is a fool. Not because he wanted to make money, but because he made his choice, and now he criticizes the Pats for a system that obviously works.

I know I've said many times that I hate Boston sports, and that I should be a GM so I can fix peoples crappy teams, but let me say this,

The New England Patriots are a great team, that is run very well!

Keep up the good work!

Freddie Mitchell, You Are An Idiot!

Freddie! Why on earth would you give the Patriots more to get fired up about!?

Are you retarded, or just stupid?

Do you think the Pats need to be fired up?

Bad idea kid. Your preformance against the Falcons was half skill and half luck! So don't get cocky!!

And especially, don't give the Pats anything to work with. It is very hard to invoke the desire to win as the defending champions, the hunger you had last year is gone. If you want to repeat, you must pull it from within, it is not there naturally. Now your foolish, rookie mistake quotes are going to be all over the Pats locker room! You, and your receivers, including TO, are going to have to cash the check that your dumb ass wrote!

When your team loses, you might want to get real cozy with your agent, he's going to have to find you a new home for next year. At least he would if I was your boss!

And, by the way, nice hair!

Australian Open.

I know, tennis is a gay country club sport, but so is golf!

So, whatever!

Serena and Sharapova went off tonight!

What a great match.

Are men still playing tennis professionally?

I know, Aggasi is, but he's 100 years old, and he's competetive?

How the hell does that happen?

If you are a Tennis fan, which I'm not, don't watch the men, they suck!

If they were men, they'd play a sport.

But the women! They freakin' rock!

Serena and Sharapova, that was a match!


Remember when womens tennis was wannabe model, Anna Kornekova getting crushed by the Williams sisters?

What a sad state!

I had to play tennis in high school, I used to take pleasure in beating the kids that were actually on the tennis team. But I was a Baseball player, you know, a sport, not a recreation!

It was fun, but whatever!

My crappy high school team, that sucked, you know, 'cause I could beat all of them, still would not be able to carry Serena or Maria's raquets!

But I would love to! This is the future of Tennis!

Serena and Maria Sharapova!

Watch, actually, don't watch, just listen....

It sounds like your favorite porn film, lots of grunts and groans!

A message to the stupid men...you can actully get naked with your wife, turn on 'tennis' and get AROUSED by your bad driving SUV wife, and, actually, just listen to Sharapova and Williams!

Close your eyes, open your mind, and you will find yourself in a fun little S&M Fantasy!

Oh, by the way! So will your wife....

.....and tell her I said "Hi!"

Bahb's On To Something!

Bahb, check it out, have you ever noticed that when a checkwriter is displaying her 'penmanship skills' in front of a group of people with a life, it's even more than they think it is reasonable to waste our time.

They freakin' love it!

Have you noticed the very satisfied, pleased with themselves look on their face, as they walk, chins held high, to their, too big, badly parked SUV, that they can't drive properly, especially with a damn cell phone pressed against their head, while their little monsters are being entertained (hence, ignored), by the latest Disney/Pixar release on the DVD player!

Damn I freakin' hate that look!

Now I gotta go on a little about the huge SUV's you stupid men are buying your wives.

What are you thinking!!!!

They can't drive them, much less park them, much less deserve them!

Now readers, I have to give props to Bahb here, he puts his wife in a responsible car, one she can handle, not some Expedition or Escalade, none of that crap she couldn't park between two white lines!

That is a responsible husband my friends. Take a note!

I know we have many female readers, but this is a message to the men.

How dare you!

You want to out-do your neighbor with the bigger better SUV you buy your wife!

Wrong, wrong, WRONG!

If you want respect among your peers, or more importantly, your superiors, Bahb and yours truly, the Fu2rman...

You will be responsible...

...You will buy your wife a vehicle she can handle, take away her checkbook, give her a credit checkcard, and stop her damn lunches with her gaggle of broads, and raise your little monsters with some manners!

Seriously, when is the last time you saw a kid with manners!!!

I'll save that one for next time....

Good God, It's Great To Be This Good!

So, like I said, Pats and Eagles win.

You might think it is easy to be The Fu2rman, it's not!

All week, I had emails every single day telling me what and idiot I am, for this or that. Or what a genious I am, and then some chucklehead was going to bet his kids college fund on the outcome of an F***ing football game! I know I'm always right in the area of sports, but for you gamblers out there, consider, I rarely talk points!

Be smart, or quit betting!

I don't want to hear another damn thing about me being right, BUT my pick didn't cover the spread!

You suck!

And I'm sorry your wife is in last years clearance clothes, and in old lingerie that doesn't fit her anymore, that's your problem! And too damn bad that your kid is going to work instead of attending the crappy college you can afford to send them to. Even with your win you wouldn't have pulled off USC. You know you weren't sending them to USC, you weren't getting your kid's discount on the SC football games next year anyway!

So get over it!

Don't blame The Fu2rman!

Sorry, I have to vent sometimes.

I know, to you, I am the 'perfect' Fu2rman, king of all, but I am still a human being!

Cut me some slack once in a while!

It Wasn't Kobe...

Lakers are 3 & 1 without Kobe, just sayin'. It wasn't Kobe that won them all those rings. Buss is wrong about Kobe. Awesome player, but bad leader.

Lakers seem better off without Kobe, they play like a team, Odom steps up, or it's Chucky Atkins, like last night, against Garnett and the T-Wolves.

This team is way better to watch than the Kobe Lakers.

Just an observation!

Does This Piss anyone Else Off!!!

This may not seem on the surface to be sports related, but trust me, it is!

I was at the store buying some things, just the basics, beer, chips, aspirin, you know, whatever. It was a Sav-on, so I was ready to be in and out in a matter of minutes. I get in line, 4 people in front of me, when, oh my god, this woman breaks out her freakin' checkbook!!!

Who in the hell writes a check in this freakin' day and age?

Everybody takes ATM cards, and the money comes from the same freakin' place! Not to mention the Visa/MC checkcards!

I hate these people, get a freakin' clue! And I love most woman, but notice, it is always a woman guilty of this crime, yes, crime!

Let me give you the sports angle real quick, so you see the importance of this issue.

Picture this, it's halftime, you're out of beer and chips, you lose at rock-paper-scissors, so you're off to the store!

See what I'm getting at?

Literally, checkbook lady took as long as 3 other people in front of me. Up until now, I would say writing checks in line is bad ettiquete. But from this point on, the checkwriting thing in line is just plain rude.

I say from now on, let's call these rude people on it!

Let them know, in a nice way, how totally freakin' rude they are being, and to break out the plastic card that the same bank that let them have a checkbook issued them!

Are you with me!!!

Credit Where Credit Is Due

Bahb, I felt great about rooting for the Lakers again tonight!

I know, they lost.

But with Kobe, the Lakers are at about a
.545 win percentage.

With Odom, they are 2 and 1,
.666 win percentage.

Like you said, one game does make a career, neither does three.

However, if this is a sign of things to come,

I like the fu2r!

What An NFL Weekend For The Fu2rman

Can you say 4 for 4!

Not bad, the only thing I was wrong about was the fact the the Eagles did cover the spread against the Viks. However, I only said the Eagles may get a suprise from the Viks, and they didn't.

On to next week, the Great and Humble Fu2rman says...

Pats and Eagles win.

I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for the Pats, even though they are a Boston team! I have no respect for the World Champion Bo Sox! Here's a team that worked the trade deadline to win, fair play of course, but they continue to fail to sign players that got them there, a characteristic of a bad organization that bought a championship.

But the Pats, they just keep winning. In the era of the salary cap, that's impressive.

All year it's been, Peyton, Peyton, Peyton, but he's home for the season, Brady is not.

You may have noticed all year that there was plenty of talk about Peyton, McNabb, Vick, Big Ben, even Brees, but what about Brady? He didn't put up huge numbers, or break any records, he did have a pretty good winning streak going, he seemed to suffer from the quiet guy syndrome. (Just like Lamar Odom, as Bahb might say). This is a great compliment, something missing in sports today.

Now I know the Steelers are the team that broke that winning streak, but in the playoffs, how do you go against Brady and the Pats?

Some may say it's all Bill Belichick, but his record as a head coach is in the neighborhood of

42-56 without Brady, and
54-16 with Brady.

So you tell me...

The Falcons ran all over the Rams last weekend, but can they do it against the Eagles? Maybe, but it won't be enough. The Eagles gave up less than 100 rushing yards against the Viks, and Dante Culpepper is about as close to Vick as your going to get. That made for a nice warmup for this weekend. Plus, Vick only picked up 82 yards passing.

82 yards!

Pats over Steelers

Eagles over Falcons

And there you have it.

NFL Saturday

So far, so good.

Now that my emotions, and my Chargers! are out of the picture.

The Steelers, as I predicted beat the Jets, barely. But hey, a win is a win.

Gotta say, the Jets did well down the stretch, I can't believe they beat the Chargers, and then forced overtime against the Steelers! Good job J-E-T-S!

The Rams got their asses handed to them by the Falcons, just like yours truly said, before the game. Well, actually, I just said, Falcons beat the Rams.

I think I can say, without a doubt, I have redeemed myself.

Damn it's hard to be The Fu2rman!

Always right, loved by all, and pretty damn good-looking!

Now to go back, and tell you again my picks for tomorrow...

Pats over Colts
Eagles over Viks

Basically if you want to bet an upset, take the Viks and the points, 8 1/2 last time I checked. The Eagles could get a suprise like the Steelers got from the Jets, but I still think the Eagles win. But maybe not by 8 1/2.

Patriots Colts are like 1 1/2 points, I don't think it matters who is the favorite. Pats are going to have to score like crazy, Dillon and Brady and his receivers are going to have to go off. Which I think they will. And again, Peyton, in the cold, outside, even with the Pats weak secondary, go with the Pats.

I hope I'm wrong here, hating the whole Boston sports scene and all!

On the Boston topic, good news, Yanks are having a great offseason, and the Bo Sox?
Not so much......

Re: The Best Thing The Lakers...

Bahb, your last post was nicely said!

I don't want to sound like I'm sucking up to Bahb here, because when it comes down to it, if we disagree, I'm always right!

Bahb mentioned being arrogant, he is.

I'm the humble one.

I'm always right, and look how humble I am!!

But, I will attest to this, Bahb has been an Odom fan for a long time. I remember when it was announced that Odom would be calling Staple Center home again for the LA 'A' team this time, Bahb was going on about the greatness of Odom. He said everything he said in his post and more.

I don't know if he's right, I have not followed Odom's career.

But I do hope he's right.

Bahb's comment about Odom being without ego, brilliant, frankly. Name another player of Odom's caliber that is not demanding to be recognized as a marquis player.

This is why after LA's win against the Cav's, I stated that the Lakers looked like a team again.

With or without Kobe? I went without, scroll down, check it out.

Now I'll add, wouldn't it be great to see Kobe sent packin'?

I will say one more time, Jerry Buss is nutjob for putting his team in the hands of Kobe Bryant!

Bahb, damnit! Please be right about this!!!

Kobe: With or Without You?

I'm going, Without.

Last night Kobe and his Lakers fall 83-95 to the 15-20, 12th place Denver Nuggets! Ouch!!

Tonight Bahb's boy Kobe goes down with an ankle injury.

Now I hate to see anybody get hurt, but with Kobe out of the Laker lineup LaMar Odom led the Lakers to a win over the 21-12 Cleveland Cavaliers.

No big dea! They play in the east, right?

Well, the Cavs are 7-4 against the west. They lost to the 1st place Suns, 2nd place Spurs, the Rockets, and the Clippers. And now the Kobe-less Lakers.

The Lakers looked loose, and worked well together under Odom's leadership. He finished with 28 pts, 8 boards, and 7 assts. Butler finished with 21 points, Mihm 13, and Atkins 11, then you had 5 players add 27 between them.

Now let's talk season averages with Kobe.

Odom 14.2 points per game.
Mihm 10.9 ppg
Atkins 11.4 ppg, so no difference there
the other 5= 23.2 ppg

Now of course this is only one game, and everybody stepped up in Kobes' absence.

But, this is why I say I don't want Kobe.

Sure he averages 28.2 ppg, but when exactly does he get the rest of his team involved? And if they are involved in such a small role, how long does it take to develop them into good players?

The other key factor was the defense tonight. Good team effort.

Kobe adds what to the defense?

He's up to 1.1 block per game
down to 1.4 steals pg, each year gets worse, his career avg. 1.5- '02=2.2 '03=1.7, see a trend?
turnovers are up 2 pg, to 4.6 pg this season
and up 1 rebound pg, to 6.5

Sorry, to say I don't think Kobe was worth the money.

He'll put up some great numbers no matter where he plays, but he's no leader.

He makes the players around him worse, not better.

At least Shaq brings that to the table.

A Message To Another Emailer.

Stephanie, I appreciate your email, and the fact that you mentioned my NFL playoff predictions were off.

No kidding!

Good thing I am so spot on with Baseball, Basketball and Hockey!

But here is part of her email-

I'd like to give my predictions for

the future, but the matchups

haven't been decided for next week

and I can't even remember who is

playing today.  Except I do pick the

Colts over the Broncos, but I

want the Broncos to win.  I do predict

that the Chargers don't win the

Super Bowl.

Well good job predicting that the Chargers aren't going to win the Superbowl!

Especially since the game was at 5pm on Saturday the 8th, your email-

Sun, 9 Jan 2005 10:37:46 -0500

Now to clearify something.

I have been a Charger fan for a long time. I'm used to these disappointments, but I can't show a lack of faith in my team. So no, I was not being objective in saying the Chargers were going to the Superbowl. Still, I am suprised the Jets beat them, Pennington wasn't as hurt as they made him out to be. By the way, I like Pennington, he was on my Fantasy team, and was great until he got hurt. But it looks like he's back.

So I guess football was not my thing this year, therefore, I am not giving predictions for the next round-

Yeah right!!

Steelers beat the Jets

Falcons over the Rams

Colts go down to the Patriots, even though the Pats secondary is struggling, Peyton, outside, cold, I don't see it. However, I hope he proves my wrong, I hate Boston sports!!!

I'm going with the Eagles over the Vikings, but I could easily be wrong here, Viks are playing well, and no TO? McNabb has a habit of winning this game, but Eagles better come out big or they'll go down.

Stephanie, any issues with that?

On a Charger note.

What do they do?

Keep Drew Brees, pay him big money, or keep Phillip Rivers, already making big money?

Well as a long time Charger fan, I can guarantee this, whatever they decide, will be the wrong decision!!

Well How About This

I was pretty damn close about Baseball's off-season!!

On December 7th I predicted Pedro would be a Met, Yanks would sign Carl Pavono and Randy Johnson.

Hey look at that! Pedro is a Met, and Pavono and Johnson are in pinstripes.

Damn I'm good!

I did miss one though.

I said Beltran would be a Yankee, he signed with the Mets. So I was right about New York, I was only wrong about the stadium.

Have fun out on Long Island Carlos!

Now let me say, I'm happy about the Yanks off-season, add Tony Womack to 2nd base, Tino Martinez to 1st, Jeter at SS and A-Rod at 3rd. We have Bubba Crosby as the backup out-fielder, Matsui, Bernie, and Sheffeild from left to right. Then the DH comes down to any OF, (esp Bernie) and of course Giambi. Giambi will play some 1st base, and that would make Tino the DH.

I am very happy to see Tino in pinstripes again! He had a great year with Tampa Bay last year, but he's a Yankee damn it! Remember 2001!!!

I would love to have Brian Cashman's job, but we are totally on the same page, so I guess he is doing a good job...

Angels and Dodgers-

Call me! I'll fix you right up.

Bahb, You're Killing Me

Bahb, again, I'm not going to disagree that Shaq is going to be useless in a couple years, he is almost as big of a bitch as Kobe.

My concern is The Lakers!

They are useless, Kobe is a terrible leader, and they are on a bad path.

You say Kobe will improve?

To what?

It better be 40 points per game, and 10 rebounds and assissts per game, or this team doesn't have a chance!

You can have the fact that Shaq is a jilted chick.

As a matter of fact, I must admit, I was impressed by the analogy, (Fu2rman readers, now do you see why Bahb is the only person I would allow to write with me!)

Now, let's deal with the Lakers! How do you fix this fiasco?

Kobe is useless to me. He should play in the east with Iverson and Kidd, both great, but let me see your ring.

OH! Thats right! You don't have a ring, much less, ringS!!!

The 'Kobe' idea that the Lakers committed themselves to has been a proven bad idea. It has been the model of the easts for some years, and how has that worked out?

Yeah...., not so good.

The Lakers may get to the playoffs, but I don't see Kobe getting another ring, ever!

Well we're stuck with Kobe for 7 years, which would be OK if this little bitch didn't run everybody out of town that could help him!

Bahb, seriously, I love the Lakers, you love the Lakers, how can we fix this mess? Do you really want Kobe to lead our team?

I say NO!!

A Couple Quick Notes

About the Lakers-Theoretically you're right about Rudy T, but he's not running the team.

Kobe is!

And if he doesn't listen to what Kobe has to say, he'll go the way of Phil and Shaq. It may not be out there that this is Kobe's idea, but it must be if Rudy T is so 'open-minded.'

This is why I kept saying the Lakers made the wrong choice! Not that Shaq was a great choice, but it was better than Kobe.

About Vince Carter-Bahb my friend, you nailed this one. I'm even suprised anybody was on hot on him 3 years ago. He was suposed to be better than Jordan, and yes, loads of endorsments because of it. I never actually paid much attention to him, he played for a damn foreign team for god's sake! But I have been hearing for at least 3 years that he was a bust. Not that he was a bad player, just barely a superstar, and never even close to Jordan. Well anyway, you said it great.

I still want to hear your thoughts on the LA Angels!

As for the Dodgers-DePodesta is going after Derek Lowe? He was 14-12 last year with a 5.42 ERA! He struggled most of the year, I prayed he lined up with the Yankees whenever they played Lowes Red Sux.

At least they held onto Odalis Perez! Just kidding, he isn't that bad, but in 31 starts he went 7-6, 13 decisions in 31 starts! I think Lowe had 34 starts. Perez had a decent ERA at 3.25.

Of Course, Garnett! Why Didn't I Think of That?

Oh wait! I did think of that.

I said that before, Kobe would need a Duncan or Garnett to win. But last I checked niether were available. I would be all for that option. If the Lakers could have picked up one of them, then the decision is easy, you trade Shaq and keep Kobe.

Garnett or Duncan, plus Kobe, done deal.

As for not dealing with Shaq's future decline, I am so. Like I said, Shaq is on the downside of his career, and the Lakers would naturally become Kobe's team, if he wasn't such an egomaniac that broke up a dynasty.

What you're not addressing is how is the Lakers current situation is a good thing.

They can't win if Kobe doesn't score 40 points per night. Even then, that's no guarantee.

You may be right that T-Mac is not a winner, he certainly hasn't proven himself, but honestly I don't believe in Kobe.

He has rings because of Shaq. Everytime Shaq was hurt, which was too often, Kobe and his Lakers had a losing record.

He cannot carry a team, he needs to be the 2nd guy, behind a real leader like Garnett or Duncan or Shaq.

Here, let say this, screw Shaq, I don't care about him for the moment...

Putting Kobe in charge of your team is stupid!!

Bahb, as for my rant, and your description of the ladies that may have inspired it, leave them alone, big girls need love too!

Just ask your wife.

(Readers, please note, I am kidding about Bahb's wife, she is lovely, frankly, I don't know what she is doing with Bahb. And I don't do fat chicks, well, unless I can pop one of Bahb's Viagras before we get to her place)

Actually I do get full of myself, it's hard not to when I'm always right!

I win again!!

Bahb, tell us your thoughts on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

So Close

Well leave it to Bill Cowars and the Steelers to throw off my prediction.

The Steelers beat up on the Bills to allow them to watch the playoffs from their comfy couches like the rest of us.

The Fu2rman said we would see

Bills v Chargers
Jets v Colts

Instead, Bills stay home, so

Chargers are at home against the Jets

And

Colts are at home against the Broncos.

So not far off. Here is next week...

Broncos and Jets should be feared...

Jets, Pennington is only back from injury a few weeks, and SD's pass defense is something to exploit, but what do the Jets have?

A good defense!

But not good enough, Brees, Tomlinson, Gates and McCardell, you can't defend that!

I just hope McCardell is healthy, frankly, he produces very little, just the fact that he is a threat. He probably recieves 75 yards and doesn't score, but he pulls attention away from Gates.

So Chargers win.

Broncos at Colts.

Tough game, I would have to pick Indy here, but the Broncs have a good chance.

This will come down to coaching. And I don't have a ton of confidence in Dungy in the playoffs. So I think Broncos.

Broncos win. Maybe I HOPE Broncos win.

Chargers still win the Superbowl.......

One More Nominee For Stupid Owner

Art Moreno! C'mon down!!!

Are you serious? The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?

Well that just rolls off the tongue!

What a proud moment for Orange County, and Anaheim!

Mr. Moreno doesn't think you are worthy of carrying a pro sports team moniker!

My first thought is 'Fuck off, just move the team to LA if you want an LA team!'

But, again, I grew up with this team.

I have said before, I gave up on them in '95, but I have quietly, inside, been pleased with their progress.

They won a World Series, defeating my favorite Yankees in the process. I was actually almost not sad about the Yanks not winning a championship that year. I didn't root openly for the Angels, that whole '95 fiasco and all.

So I couldn't be on the bandwagon.

But I was just starting to think I could like the Angels again, they seemed to be doing some things right, they are interested in signing some great players, they are interested in winning, and that is what it is all about!

Put a team together to win, you don't need the biggest superstar out there, just the best group of players!

This is nowhere more evident than in baseball!

But if this jackass, Morales, wants to be an LA team, go to LA!

Again, Mr. Moreno,

YOU NEED TO DISCUSS THESE THINGS WITH THE FU2RMAN BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION!!!!

Damn, it's good to be a Yankee fan!!!! 'Cause, again, I hate the Angels!!!

Hey Dodgers!

Moreno wants your market, ours is open, let's trade stadiums!

It goes down like this, fire DePodesta, hire me, and the Anaheim Dodgers will be kicking the hell out of the Los Angeles Angels in 2 years!

I guarantee it!

I'll Save The Whale Watchers Some Time

Tonight Shaq played 39 minutes, shot 8-13 for 25 points, picked up 14 rebounds, and blocked 7 shots.

Not a bad night, but the worst part is that the Heat lost.

This loss snaps a 14 game winning streak for the Heat. 14 games without a loss!!

That would be a 25-7 record, tied for the 2nd best record in the NBA with San Antonio, (Phoenix is 26 and 4). The Heat are undefeated in their division, and have only lost 2 games in their conference.

The Lakers on a tear, after beating a sad looking Denver team last night, that put their win streak at 2.

By the way, my favorite LA team, the Clippers beat Denver tonight also.

Lakers record, 16-12, hey the Heat won almost as many games in a row as the Lakers have won all year!

I look at a couple things when it comes to Shaq.

-He usually finds a way to win, aside from the last two years with Kobe.
-And he fills your arena.

Miami had to add seats to accomodate the demand for tickets. So yes, Shaq is getting more money than his numbers alone deserve, but when you put asses in seats, you get a few more bucks. That game against the Bobcats that Shaq played 23 minutes and did nothing may have cost the Heat $450,000.

But so what!

When ticket prices are almost $50 he has to sell 9000 tickets. He probably did that just in season tickets by going to Miami. Not to mention the Heat will be televised the maximum number of games. When is the last time the Heat was the game to watch on Christmas Day!

On a side note, Heat owner Micky Arison screwed the whole thing up.

He is not cashing in on the Shaq craze, he already had his TV deal in place, he is fifth in the NBA in attendance, but has lower ticket prices than the NBA average.

Another retarted Owner.

Owners, seriously, call the Fu2rman! You all need my help!!

Let me bottomline the whole Shaq thing. I am not a Shaq fan, I believe he is on his way out.

I am not a Laker fan for the first time in my life. And that my friends, is Kobe's fault. If he could have been smart enough to see that Shaq was at the end of his career, he was being coached by Phil Jackson, (only Red Auerbach has as many championships), and he coached a similar player named Jordan, so he is familiar with that style of play.

It was only a matter of a year, two at the most, and the Lakers would be Kobe's team.

It is obvious that Buss/Kupchak wanted Phil out for Kobe's sake.

They were ready to make coach K. the highest paid coach in the NBA, Coach K. being a Kobe favorite and all.

The Lakers bet everything on Kobe, while Shaq is helping Miami win the East (even if it is by being defendable, finally, hence allowing Wade, E. Jones, the exLaker, and the rest of the Heat to do their thing), and one of the greatest coaches in history is sitting home.

This for Kobe Bryant!??

Why do you think coach K. rejected the job? Because he loves college basketball? Where players are turning over every year to go to the NBA?

No!!! He didn't want to deal with Kobe's crap either!

You see, this is more about the Lakers bad decisions, than about Shaq going downhill, at least for me.

Bahb just hates Shaq!

Well you Kobe lovin' Big Assed Hairy Beer Drinkin' American Mo Fo, let me see you defend the Lakers decision instead of just bashing Shaq.

Tell us how keeping Phil, Shaq, getting T-Mac, and trading Kobe to the east, so the controversial Christmas game could still take place, is a worse idea than the current Laker situation!
