This is the Newest Member of the Sacramento Kings and it makes sense



I know you Warrior Fans are rejoicing and celebrating on Ash Wednesday that your Warriors whooped the living crap out of my Beloved Sacramento Kings tonight. But we left with a lovely parting gift. In trading the last link to Kings Success, Kevin Martin, to the Houston Rocket for Tracy McGrady.

Now the trade details as follows:

Houston gets: Kevin Martin, Sergio Rodriguez, Hilton Armstrong, & Kenny Thomas

Sacramento gets: Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry, & Joey Dorsey

Here's why this makes sense in my mind for the Kings and this is probably the only reason why... McGrady's contract. This is his last year worth $20 Million and that tells me that the Kings Wanna be big players in the 2010 free agency class. Plus Sacramento is in position for another high draft choice again (though I still think this year's draft class is weak).

Yes I am sad to see Martin go but it looked like that the Evans/Martin backcourt was never going to workout and plus he gets get to go back to his first NBA coach in Rick Adelman and I think Houston will love Kevin Martin's Scoring ability in addition with what they have now.

I knew the Kings were going to make a move during the trade deadline but not for T-Mac. I would have love to get Tyrus Thomas from the Bulls but what can u do.

The final 3 characters finally revealed for Super SF4..

I know I haven't been on this in a quick minute. I had previously forgotten my password. But I had nothing to post anyways. This would be the closest thing here. Y'all know it had to be something about Street Fighter.. Can I say DUDLEEEEEYYY!!!



And speaking of Street Fighter [4], SF4 is going to be on the dog damn fuckin' iPhone next month. Yeah.. Fo' realzZ. Not the DS, not the PSP, the fuckin' iPhone. Not even the Wii!!

WTF in NFL


Seriously, the Raiders giving kick his ass Sea-bass the richest contract in NFL history for a marginal kicker just boggles my mind.
I can't wait to see the Raiders draft a 4.6 40 meter long snapper in the upcoming draft and hire a 5.4 40 meter assistant special team coach and mascot.

You know what Grinds my Gears!




For those who didn't get a chance to watch this year's NBA Slam Dunk Contest, give yourself a pat on the back for not tuning in because this year's Dunk contest SUCKED! Whatever happen to the days where we looked forward to watching the these Dunk Contest. Who remembers the memorable Showdowns that Jordan and Wilkens had or what about the time where we crowned Harold Minor "Baby Jordan" because of his Jordan-esque performance or Dee Brown's No-look Dunk. Or who can remember Vince Carter's Thunderous Windmill Dunks that showed Reminiscent of the Human Highlight Film. And Probably to you Warrior Fans J-Rich between the legs, one-handed reverse dunk that won him the 2003 dunk contest that had the crowd jump up and out of their seats.

This year's Dunkers apparently didn't get the memo of what dunk contests are all about. I remember watching these Dunk Contests trying to emulate them on a 7 Foot rim when I was younger and to this day (although I could do it on a 8 foot Rim but that's another story). I mean we all tune into All-Star Saturday night to see what new dunks these Athletes can come up with and it seems like this year's NBA dunkers help bring this contest to a screeching halt. I know there's always talk about having Lebron, Kobe, or any other superstars who can dunk, into this competition but that will never happen now especially what happened tonight. I mean How Can Shannon Brown of the Lakers, who owns 44" vertical, come up with just a plain one-handed jam. I mean What the Hell is that? Even Dwight Howard hid his face in disgust because of the lack of originality and creativity these so-called Dunkers provided Saturday night.

I think I'm going to dust off my Sega Genesis and put in my old copy of Jordan Vs. Bird: one on one and play the slam dunk contest mini game cuz even though the dunks are old, they're still better Dunks than the ones I saw this past Saturday night. Just Plain Awful!

It's Official Folks, the excitement and allure of NBA All-star Weekend is dead. It's basically become a little pow wow get-together for A-list celebs and the NBA's Best to shoot the breeze and talk about how rich they are. I bet you Kobe is trying to sell the fact to Spike Lee that his new Nike Kobe V's are just TOO HOT or Lebron coming up with a new handshake for every Celeb he meets. I thought NBA All-Star Weekend was for the fans but I guess Today's NBA stars has lost touch with that. If they could get it through their heads that we make them who they are and all we have to do is stop paying attention to them. But we won't because we love basketball too much and as long as we keep paying attention they're still going to get these contracts and live life like a rock star and they probably don't care what we think because they're getting paid. I know that's not what every NBA player is all about but watching this years dunk contest sucked cuz it has no heart, no passion and that equated to the garbage I saw tonight. What a Shame.

Being that it's Valentine's weekend it just breaks my heart to see the Sport I first learned and love has gotten to this point.
