Former Wolverines, Heat Star Glen Rice Slept with Sarah Palin

Five for Fighting: Georgetown Hoyas Brawl Needed these 5 People
The Big East is represented in China at the moment by none other than the Georgetown Hoyas. The supposed goodwill tour recently included a bench clearing brawl. This leaves a black mark for the moment on the university, but as usual John Thompson III has a measured response in not hastily cancelling future contests. Some more muscle could have assisted the Hoyas in achieving … [Read more...] about Five for Fighting: Georgetown Hoyas Brawl Needed these 5 People
We can Officially End the Lebron James vs. Michael Jordan Debate
Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)
Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This notoriously untranslatable German word is used as a loanword in English, and it perfectly encapsulates what American NBA fans feel today after the Dallas Mavericks denied the Miami Heat the league title. I guess it's fitting the Finals MVP (Dirk Nowitzki) who did them in was a native of Wurzburg, … [Read more...] about Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)
Dallas Mavericks 105, Miami Heat 95, Game 6: Dirk, Mavs Uber Alles
Well, I guess we know who took the "talent vs. team" argument. It's hard not to bring up "The Decision" and the utterly stupid Miami Heat what should have been a press conference but instead became an absurdly pre-emptive and arrogant pseudo-championship rally. It's not Key Lime, but instead humble pie that's being served in south Florida right now. Wade at that rally: … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 105, Miami Heat 95, Game 6: Dirk, Mavs Uber Alles
Dallas Mavericks 112, Miami Heat 103 Game 5: Taking my Talents to Wurzburg
CENTURY MARK in this finals! Finally a game with a real legit NBA final score. Yes, this was by far the best game to watch of the series, and one of the best Finals games in a long while. This lived up to all the hype! And I loved it because America's Non-Team lost. Everyone I follow on Twitter seems to be Dallas Mavericks fans, but they're actually just … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 112, Miami Heat 103 Game 5: Taking my Talents to Wurzburg
Dallas Mavericks 86, Miami Heat 83 Game 4: Welcome to the Good Life
-That was the first time since Jan. 5, 2007 that LeBron James was held below double-digits. It's the first time in 90 NBA playoff games that James was held to single digits. We witnessed history! Welcome to the Good Life! Summertime ahhhhhhh. The Dallas Mavericks are back in this, we don't have to concede a title to the Miami Heat just yet. -I hope a reporter asked Lebron … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 86, Miami Heat 83 Game 4: Welcome to the Good Life
Miami Heat’s Erik Spoelstra is a very Underrated Coach
Following one of their three regular season losses to the Chicago Bulls, a couple of current members of the Miami Heat broke down in tears. But none of the three regular season losses (by a combined 8 points) were as emotional or as lopsided as Sunday night's 21 point drubbing in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. A beat-down like that has more inspiration for … [Read more...] about Miami Heat’s Erik Spoelstra is a very Underrated Coach
