Ok so this was just an absolutely sick play. The Spurs were down 3 with less than a minute to go and they set up a game tying 3 pointer for Tim Duncan?!?! Wow and he knocked it down.

So if you followed this hockey season at all you knew this was coming. The Rangers had the Devils number this whole season beating them in 7 of their 8 regular season games. Last night they beat them in their first round playoff series for a 4-1 series win.
The most controversial portion of the series was the whole incident with Sean Avery and Martin Brodeur. Well apparently Marty is still feeling bitter about it.

A police report yesterday revealed that a snitchin drug dealer confessed that he’s been selling some dank to Tennessee Titans players for around $1000 an ounce, or what they thought was an ounce. For those of you who don’t know much about marijuana, the normal price for and an O of some good weed will generally range from about $300 to about $700 depending on how good it is. So if your paying $1000 for an O, it’s gotta be some pretty ridiculous weed or your just getting screwed.
In cross-examination by Williams’ attorney Peter Strianse, Corey Cecil was asked about the transactions, “The people that were sending you those wire transfers were connections that you had made on the streets when you more or less were a hydroponic marijuana dealer to the stars; is that right?”
Cecil asked Strianse what he meant by “To the stars,” and the attorney replied, “Tennessee Titans players, you would set them up with ounce quantities of high-quality hydroponic?”
Cecil then replied, “Yes, sir.”
Cecil also confirmed in questioning that he was “pinching out” seven grams of each ounce and selling it to the players as a full ounce with the Titans players unaware of being shortchanged.
He was pinching bags? He got arrested and sang like a bird? This guy definitely needs to learn more about the game. He’s no real hustler.
The court report didn’t name any specific Titans players even though we all have an idea of one guy who was probably involved.
Corey Cecil, the dealer, had an uncle who is a cop. His uncle and another officer would stage fake arrests of Cecil during drug deals, and take all the money and the drugs. Afterwards they would give Cecil his weed back and they would split the money. Not a bad come up but you can’t sing about it so that it gets posted on the internet, idiot.
Cubs fans have been known as being very obnoxious for years. Just ask Steve Bartman. The only fans that are worse are probably Red Sox fans but either way, Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman was not ashamed at all to speak his mind on how he feels about Sox fans. LoL!

Here is a very rare video of Michael Jordan breaking a backboard back in the day. Very cool video and it would suck to be those guys that all the glass fell on. I have a few questions though, 1. Whats with the uni’s? 2. Why does the backboard look so cheap? 3. Can we shoot whoever picked out the music for this video?

So yesterday I reported that Miguel Tejada had lied about his age to the league and to his teams. Here is a video of him being busted in his lie by ESPN:

If the rumors swirling around about Brian Urlacher are true, than is acting like an oversized crybaby. Urlacher’s agents are looking for the Bears to trade him, while Urlacher is saying that he will retire instead.
Urlacher would be potentially retiring because of back and neck problems but if they trade him to a contender or give him a really good deal, I’m sure those problems can be handled. The real reason is because this way, he won’t have to repay any of his $13 dollar signing bonus that he got when he got his current nine year, $56.65 million deal.
It’s one thing to hold out on a contract but to threaten to retire is something completely different and we all know he’s not going to do that. He’s not fooling anyone:
One NFL insider laughed off the situation as the equivalent of a child taking his ball and going home or threatening to hold his breath until he passes out.
”Urlacher has no leverage,” the source said. ”He wants to be paid, right? If he takes a medical [retirement], then he’s got to prove he’s hurt. If he does that, he’ll never get paid. They’re not going to trade him. All he can do is be disruptive.
”It’s a joke. Players never walk away from millions. They threaten to, but they never do it.”
Agreed with the last line. Theres no way that Urlacher will retire.
The Astros have had more than their share of headlines involving their new third basemen, Miguel Tejada. First he was named in the Mitchell Report for using steroids and now he admits that he is actually 33 not 31 like he is listed in Astros and MLB records. I doubt that the Astros had all of this in mind when they traded for Tejada.
Tejada, saying he wanted rid himself of a burden, approached general manager Ed Wade and asked to correct misinformation he gave the Oakland A’s when he signed in 1993, the Houston Chronicle reported on its Web site Thursday.
Well thats one confession down, only one more to go.
I don’t know if this helps Baltimore with their current quarterback controversy or hurts them but either way, Steve McNair has had enough. McNair announced that he will be retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons.
McNair leaves a great legacy. He will forever be known as one of the toughest and most versatile players to ever play the game. He was the epitome of a warrior by playing hurt for most of the last half of his career and still being more productive than most QB’s. Whenever it seemed like he took too many poundings and he was down for good, he always got back up.
McNair is one of only 3 quarterbacks to amass more than 30,000 yards passing and at least 3,000 rushing. The other two are Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. Pretty good company.
During his career, McNair was named co-mvp and led the Titans to a Super Bowl appearance. He came up one yard short of winning it.
Sadly this will probably be what McNair is most remembered for. Eight years ago at Super Bowl XXIV against St. Louis at the Georgie Dome in Atlanta, McNair hit wide receiver Kevin Dyson at the six on a play that started at the 10-yard-line. Rams Linebacker Mike Jones wrestled him down just one stinkin yard away.
Oh well. You will definitely be missed Steve.
