Why's Miami feeling the Heat?

Because they're done son!


Ben Gordan and the Chicago Bulls sweep the defending champs, ending the Miami Heat's chance at repeating. In other news, the Golden State Warriors continue to roll with their game 4 victory against the number one ranked Dallas Mavericks, pushing them one game away from elimination. It's the 1994 playoffs with the Seattle Supersonics and Denver Nuggets all over again. And one more thing.

Come on now. Did you really think I was going to disappoint?

Troy Smith Shafted (No karamo)

So, it took 5 rounds and 37 picks for Heisman trophy winner Troy Smith to finally be drafted to the Baltimore Ravens. The former Ohio State quarterback was projected during the college football season to be the number ONE pick in this years NFL draft. After Ohio State finished the season at 12-0, and ranked #1 in the BCS standings it was pretty much clear sailing for the senior QB. Unfortunately for Mr. Smith, on the day of the BCS national championship game, his offensive line decided to not show up. The end result, the Buckeyes get mollywhopped 41-14, by them Gator boys. (Word to Joakim Noah)"Troy Smith sucks ass. He can't win big games. He choked. He was all hype. Brady Quinn is so much better. Blah blah blah blah." So, let's break down the flawed reasoning of NFL experts, bandwagoners, and most importantly, dumb ass sports fans.

Reason 1: "He can't win the big games. His performance in the national championship game is a perfect example of it. End of discussion."

I admit. His performance in the championship game was just about pathetic. Then again, the dude isn't perfect. Ohio State faced three number twos last season. Won all of them instead for Florida.

Reason 2: "He's to small. He's going to be a liability."

Irrelevant (see Drew Brees)

Reason 3: "Facing Florida's defense was the closest Smith came in facing overall NFL talent and he looked absolutely lost."

And this is Troys fault how? His O-Line beat every single time by a faster D-Line. Something that hadn't happened all year. Comparing Florida to an NFL defense? Highly debatable.

Reason 4: "Brady Quinn is better than Troy Smith."

Hahaha... Let me go back to the Troy Smith "can't win the big game argument." In the 2006 Fiesta Bowl, the game featured both quarterbacks on the grand stage. Pretty damn big game I'd say. The outcome? Ohio State defeats Notre Dame, 34-20. Smith torches Notre Dame for 342 yards and two TD's. Quinn, 29-of-45 with 0 touchdowns. Big game loss number 1 for Quinn. Let us move on to this year. The 2007 Sugar Bowl, featuring Quinn, college footballs goldenboy, and this years NFL #1 pick from LSU, JaMarcus Russell. The final outcome? LSU-41 and ND-14, with Quinn finishing 15-of-35 for 148 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Big game loss number 2. If you want to go further back, look up Notre Dame and USC. Smith and the Buckeyes were able to squeak by Michigan in probably one of the best games last season. How did Brady Quinn perform against Michigan? I won't even go there.
Let's not forget how many Heismans Quinn has compared to Smith. Oh wait....

Done son...

Alba has that Warrior Spirit

According to ESPN Insider, the baddest babe on the planet is caught up with Warriors fever. No better time than now to hop aboard the B-Diddy bandwagon. I now have incentive to watch a Warriors game. (Given that Alba gets as much camera time as Ms. Longoria)

Alba has that Warrior spirit
by: Marc Stein

Fastest-growing bandwagon in the NBA?

You only get one guess.

Of course, you probably only need one.

It's the Golden State Warriors, obviously, after their Game 1 undressing of the 67-win Dallas Mavericks.

How hot are the Warriors now?

My sources in Hollywood tell me reliably that Jessica Alba has requested a ticket for Sunday's Game 4 in Oakland.

Yes: I'm well aware that Alba and Baron Davis are longtime pals. But I'll go out on a limb and say that it's still a rather momentous occasion when an actress of Alba's hotness, er, stature, wants to fly in for a courtside seat.

Alba, by all accounts, only hits Warriors games when they're in L.A. This will apparently be her maiden trip to Oakland . . . after she undoubtedly realized that even Jessica Alba would have a tough time scoring Friday night tickets for Golden State's first home playoff game in 13 years.

Meet Brian Stevenson

This is probably the most ballin dude ever... Not only does he make an instructional video on how to play craps, he gives in you pointers and tips on how NOT to lose your guap while gambling. Pretty much how I'm going to get the 411 on learning how to play craps without pestering the dealers and patroners at the craps table. It's a great video, very basic, and now, I can confidently say I'm 1337 at craps... (maybe not) Yeah, Vegas bitches!

Bobbito Round 2

Here's the second colorway from the "Kool Bob Love" Bobbito Air Force 1 series, due for release in May/June. Didn't get a chance to cop the first colorway, (and don't feel like dropping 2 bills to resellers) so chances are I won't cop this one either.

WUUUUUUUZZZZZZZAHHHHHHHH....

Carnival Aftermath

This is what is left of my Carnies after a night at Porkys in the city. Aside from the one hour open bar, the place is pretty much "Dizzy Lizards NYC." Must I say any more? Overall, I had a great time. Met some new people, had a "few" drinks, and got away from Hofstra.

Anyone know how to clean mesh? Let me know....



Yo, I'm not a Dodgers fan... But damn! ;D

MAY 16, MAY 16, MAY 16.... GET YOUR HYPE ON!

Too bad I didn't cop Crackdown... I guess I won't be missing out that much since my Xbox Live will expire around the same time as well. (No, I don't know if I'm going to re-new it.) Furthermore, let the hype begin!

The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 ^th at 11:59 PM PDT. That means that folks who purchased specially marked copies of Crackdown, or won a spot in the Beta through the “Rule of Three” or other regional promotions, will be able to log into their Xbox Live Gold accounts, download and play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta and enjoy an early peek at the multiplayer aspect of the game.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, and are interested, you can still enter the Beta by picking up a specially marked copy of Crackdown, which would ordinarily be a chore, but thankfully Crackdown is an awesome action game which might ironically distract you from the Beta I’m pimping here. Bungie is also giving out a few Friends and Family spots to valued community members, but those are few and far between, so it’s safer to assume you’re not getting in that way.

Now, I will say this again and again – the game you’re going to play one month from now, is Beta software – and while it will look somewhat close to the final game, it IS Beta – and will contain quirks, a couple of roughedges and all that jazz. But we’re pretty confident you’ll find it a dynamic and exciting taste of what’s to come in Fall.

Crunch Time

Spring break is officially over, and there's about six more weeks until the semester ends.... Time really does fly...

A portion of the Spring '07 collection by Lemar & Dualey line has arrived... This shirt will be copped... Pic courtesty of Highsnobiety.

Over the break, I was watching the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" special on the top 50 dunks... As a Knicks fan, this dunk sure brought back some painful memories. Here's God at work.

Viva Las Vegas! / Air 'em out

Okay, so it's been a while since I've written anything of substance. So let me tell you what I've gotten myself into over the past few weeks. A day before my birthday, some friends and I decided to book a flight to Vegas for four days and five nights. That's more than enough time to get into trouble... Did I mention that we’d be departing for sin city a week after I'm expected to graduate? Crazy! On top of that, I'm planning on traveling to Asia some time after I graduate as well. Going to see the travel agent on Saturday to see what's up.

I've heard from numerous people that the ideal time to travel the globe is after you graduate. Surely, I'm looking forward to it, but one thing that has and will be bothering me is this bullshit internship requirement for graduation. Let me air out Hofstra, and their graduation requirements for a second. In order for me to receive my diploma I must obtain an internship for "x" months and so on. Ok, not a problem. But don't you think that the school should hook you up in some way with an internship? I've sent my resume out to numerous job openings and still no luck.

For 20 grand a year, the advisors can do a little more than give me the names of newspapers and internship openings which took me five minutes to find for free over the Internet. Give us somewhat of an edge over the millions of other journalism students out there looking for a way in. I'm sure Hofstra is satisfied thinking that they're helping us find internships, but in reality, are just throwing us out in the ocean leaving us out to swim.

So yeah, wish me luck as the semester comes to an end... This internship thing is going to be a splinter in my brain until I find one.

On a lighter note, Florida ends up winning the Division I NCAA basketball title, propelling me into FIRST place in the family pool. It's only right that the most dominant member wins it all ehh? ;D Also, for all the haters out there, I placed third in the "It's cool, as long as John Leong doesn't win..." pool. Not bad for a 9 vs 1. What sucks is that the number three hater (rankings produced by Deloitte & Touche) ended up placing in second. Here's the overall shot for you.

Be good...
