Sports..President Obama on the Super Bowl

I personally agree with him, even though the Steelers haven't supported me, but just in the fact that Arizona is a Cinderella story, but the Steelers are just too cold right now. What do you think?

Sports..Syracuse B-Ball Coach Decides to Beat Up His Mic after First Loss

So if you didn't watch anything in the sports world last night Cleveland State beat No. 11 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome with a hail Mary half-court shot.
Here's the video of game winning shot

What was more entertaining and hilarious, was what happened after the game.

Head coach Jim Boeheim, who looked as confused as Yao Ming trying to play defense was answering questions when his mic started to malfunction. A few nasty stares at this horribly made device wasn't enough, so Boeheim took a swipe at the thing. No, seriously. He took a jab so quick at the mic, I felt I was watching the Kimbo Slice fight again. Just peep the vid..Beware: it is definitely too funny for work but hit play anyways.


So, what is your take on the situation. What do you think Coach Boeheim was thinking/saying in his mind to make him take a swipe at the mic like that. I personally think he was saying the following:

"I might have lost my first fight on the court this season, but I damn sure ain't losing with a mic"

Just my take though, what yours. Let a sister know.

Sports..Lil' Wayne's blog on the NFL Right Now

Well I haven't posted any of Lil's Wayne's thoughts on sports lately because more often than not these days, he really hasn't had too many smart things to say. ( Kid's Stay off the drugs and misc. liquids) But, he bought up some interesting points about the NFL, and I can appreciate his few moments of intelligence.

Lil' Wayne- "The AFC is a real mystery right now. You kind of know what's going to happen with the NFC, but the AFC is all messed up this year. I'm probably the only person out there who thought the Chiefs were gonna be playoff contenders, and Cincinnati would be good, too. "

Suga HiL- Very true, I feel that sometimes NFL mess up games just to play with people's heads.

Lil' Wayne- "The whole Plaxico thing kind was crazy because immediately afterward everyone was talking about the legal implications and what are the Giants going to do with him now, and no one stopped and said, My God, this guy just shot himself. Is he okay? Was it stupid? Of course. I mean, I accidentally shot myself when I was twelve and that's a scary lesson to learn. But before you go yelling at him and talking about his punishment for being so stupid it's like, Guy, is your leg okay? I was amazed no one was asking that question. The guy just shot himself in the leg!"

Suga HiL- No one was asking if he was okay because he shot himself in the leg..FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, Lil' Wayne, it's his leg. My thinking was if you are dumb enough to put yourself in a situation like that, you deserve all the consequences coming to you. (All I gotta say is OJ=15 yrs in prison)

So what do you think bout' what Weezy had to say, or what I had to say for that matter. Let a sister know. The full blog entry is HERE.

Sports..Is it ALL about the chesse??

I was watching this Josh Childress interview and his whole International basketball experience..it's definitely interesting..(watch vid)




Is it all about the money these days? Maybe I wasn't understanding or hearing him right. I'm nit judging his decision, I'm just think out loud. Obviously, I believe none of the NBA's star players will go overseas. Why? I think "our" NBA players are some of the most cockiness, competitive, and spoiled players in the professional athletic realm. Without the challenge, I just can't see them making a major move like that.

I honestly think in Josh's case, no play + money is different than, stater + money. It just seemed to me he didn't explain this well enough in the interview. He just seemed a little jaded about his reasoning for playing overseas. What do you think? Is his reasoning smart? Do you think more NBA players will be welcoming playing overseas? Hit me up and let me know.

Sports..Did You know the WNBA Championship was on last night??


Man, I'm feeling kind of disappointed and robbed because I had no idea that the WNBA championship game was on last night. No commercials, no marketing, nothing. How is any league supposed to grow if you don't even publicize the Championship?? I mean, WTH? Anyways this is how it went down.

The Detroit Shock won their third WBA championship in a 76-60 win against the San Antonio Silver Stars in a dynamic completed a three-game sweep.

Detroit became the second team in league history to win a third championship. Only the Houston Comets, who won the first four (1997-2000), have more. Los Angeles (2001, 2002) is the only other team with more than one. It was an especially sweet win for the Shock, who let the 2007 title slip away, losing Game 5 at The Palace to the Phoenix Mercury.


The game was tight for three quarters with San Antonio leading by six on several occasions. But the veteran Shock were too much to take in the fourth with the title on the line. The Shock enjoyed a 49-45 lead after three periods. A pair of free throws by McWilliams-Franklin less than a minute later gave the Shock their first double-digit lead of the game.



The Shock had been one of the league's best teams for much of the year, but sputtered a bit after losing top post player Cheryl Ford to a season-ending knee injury in July.
But a trade for the veteran McWilliams-Franklin over the Olympic break was just what Detroit needed.

After a night of celebrating, the Shock have a date with the new mayor of Detroit, Ken Cockrel Jr., who will honor the team at a downtown celebration at this afternoon.


I'm About It All Facts:

• The Katie Smith was the MVP of the game with 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist.

• The Shock completed the first three-game WNBA Finals sweep in league history.

• Detroit is the third team in league history to win the championship without home-court advantage.

• The Shock's three titles are the second-most all-time (Houston has four), and their 27 playoff wins are tied for the most all-time with Los Angeles.

See all the video highlights
Here.

Oh and congratulations ladies you deserve that and more!!

Sports..My Alma Mater is back in the Ranks..

What a difference a year makes.

My alma mater Oklahoma State is riding high with a 4-0 record and is one of six Big 12 teams to be ranked this week. An explosive offense that has hung 50 points on each of its last three opponents is bringing back memories of previous Cowboy teams when Barry Sanders was here 20 years ago after a 55-24 rout of Troy last week.

"I would say winning gives everybody a good feeling," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "When the guys are walking on campus, I would guess that people are telling them they are playing well. I imagine they are feeling pretty good about themselves."

Only a year ago, the prospects for the program weren't nearly as bright. The Cowboys limped home after a loss to Troy in quarterback Zac Robinson's first career start. The residue of discontent sparked Gundy's infamous rant after beating Texas Tech in their conference opener.

Fast forward a year later and it's much quieter around Stillwater. Their 21 spot national ranking -- their first since Gundy took over in 2005 -- is a milestone of sorts for the program as we head into our Big 12 opener Saturday night against Texas A&M.

new players have come along who might give them more firepower than last season. RB Kendall Hunter ranks third nationally with an average of 154.5 rushing yards per game and has a capable backup in Keith Toston, who has run for 100 yards in each of his last two games. The Cowboys lead the nation in rushing, rank third in scoring and are fourth in total offense.

Dez Bryant has developed into a key receiving threat who has already snagged six touchdown receptions, including three last week against Troy. These guys have truly taken some pressure off Robinson, who finds he doesn't have to be as big a part of the offense as when he rushed for 847 yards last season.

I can't predict how the rest of the season for Oklahoma State will turnout, we have four opponents so far have a combined record of 6-11. And play all four of the Big 12 teams ranked in the top seven nationally. Ultimately, I really think we can hold our own right now.

The Cowboys will be looking for revenge against Texas A&M, which has posted a pair of one-point victories against us in the last two seasons. The Aggies escaped with a tight overtime victory in Stillwater in 2006 when an Oklahoma State extra point was blocked, the loss at College Station last season after squandering a 17-0 halftime lead.

For the first time in Gundy's coaching tenure, we'll have a settled quarterback situation this week against the Aggies with Robinson in charge. I feeling great, and look forward to the rest of a really exciting season.

Sports.. Lil' Wayne Blog Post #2

Okay, so if you don't know by now, Lil Wayne now has a blog on ESPN, because he's a sports fnanatic. I read the first one, it was aight, but the second one I actually found entertaining and got some laughs from. Here is some of his excerpts from his post..

ON NFL: Now on to Brett Favre. He must know God's phone number, 'cause he is
superhuman. Like, Brett Farve? Come on. He's like 3900 years old and he threw
for six touchdowns? He's never even done that in his whole career. And he does
it with the Jets when no one is expecting nothing from him.
ON Sundays: I'm gonna watch the baseball games today at my house. On Sundays, I
pretty much don't leave my house until after all the games are over, and then I
go into the studio. I have five TVs in my house and we have like 85 TVs in the
studio, and all of them will be on different sports.
ON his Fantasy Football Team: I won my fantasy football match-up this week, by
the way. I slayed 'em 79-43. I'm 3-1 now. They still don't know it's me, even
though I use my real name, Dwayne Carter, on there. Even if there's a guy who
knows who I am, he's probably looking at that and going, yeah, whatever.
I mean for one of the first times ever Lil Wayne is not sounding like he got a cup of syrup in his hand. *Claps and Snaps for that*. What do you think though? Hit me up and let me know.

Sports..Are We in the Twilight Zone??

This weekend's display of a couple of WTH's in sports has made me believe that...(Click Video)



We are truly in the Twilight Zone.

First one, Dallas Cowboys actually won a game in Lambeau Field against the Greenbay Packers for the very first time. T.O. only had two catches for 17 yards, the rest was done by Marion Barber and special teams player Miles Austin. Final Score: 27-16.
Twilight Zone moment: I mean, yeah I thought that they might win but I knew the Cowboys history; and the Packers did put up a fight until the 3 quarter. Plus, how many times did people think Dallas was going to win at Lambueau and didn't...6 to be exact.

The United States won the Ryder Cup Championship for the first time in 9 years.
Volumes have been written on the withering pressure of this event, particularly America's tense susceptibility to that pressure in recent years. If you asked around, I'm sure the most common explanations for the United States' recent Ryder Cup failures was its inability to play loose and have fun. Their Twilight Zone moment: Tiger Woods wasn't even on the team!?!? Yeah, I know you're thinking the same thing as me. Their combined record in this Ryder Cup: a dominant 6-1-3. Their combined record on Sunday, with the Cup up for grabs: 3-0.

And finally, the Miami Dolphins beat the New Patriots in a 38-13 win at New England's home field. Fans booed the Patriots. Many left early. The record winning streak of their favorite team was ending with a stunning domination by the lowly Dolphins. Twilight Zone Moment: In ending the Patriots' NFL-record 21-game regular-season win streak, the Dolphins also snapped their 11-game road losing streak.


So do you think were in the Twilight Zone sports wise? I also think that something a little off in NCAA football too, but I could go on and on about that one. Or do you think that's these events are just luck and are really just a one in a million moments? Hit me up and let me know.

Sports.. Goodie Bag

Bring out the backup quarterback Tennessee.. According to ESPN. The mother of Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young said he's "hurting inside and out" and indicated he might not want to play football any longer.
Felicia Young said in Wednesday editions of The Tennessean that her son is tired of all of the negativity he's faced after being booed during a 17-10 win Sunday over Jacksonville.

I personally feel that he just had a bad game and needs to fight through it, but moms are most of the time right. Read the Full Story.

Another QB has alos bitten the dust..I tell ya I have never seen so many QB's get injured or bee just slightly off in one season. Anyways, 49er's high-price QB is done for the season and could possibly never play another game again due to another shoulder injury. Read the Full Story.

The Former Seattle Sonics basketball that was recently moved to Oklahoma City now has a team name.The Oklahoma City Thunder. Not bad right? "It's very unique," said Mason, a former Oklahoma State forward who the Thunder acquired in an offseason trade with Milwaukee. "It's going to take some time getting used to, just like Utah Jazz or Orlando Magic, but I think it's a great thing for the state and a great thing for the city."

Well I'm definitely looking forward to their play this season. Read Full Story.

And less than 24 hours after Indianapolis Colts starting defensive tackle Ed Johnson was arrested on a drug possession charge early Wednesday, the team said it would waive him. Colts president Bill Polian said the team would waive Johnson Thursday. He said the Colts consider every violation of a team rule or NFL policy on a case-by-case basis."

Johnson was pulled over for speeding and arrested for marijuana possession. Polian said Johnson was repeatedly told that during the offseason, and was reminded as recently as Tuesday of coach Tony Dungy's rules of behavior."Unfortunately, he chose to violate those rules," Polian said Read Full Story.

Sports..Goodie Bag..Must See TV!

First off all, I just wanted to let ya'll know that I apologize for not updating you guys on the football this weekend. You know how it is when your my hosts the family for the holiday weekend..that means you have to do as much work as she does. It was definitely fun yet exhausting...

But anyways, I'm giving you the rundown of what's going on in sports, since there is soo much going on right now...You know how the goodie bag goes.

So the Williams sisters are playing each other for the 1oth time tonight @ 7pm in the quarterfinal for U.S. Tennis Open on USA.

(Singing Together now) Are you ready for some football!!!! Okay, enough of that, The NFL season officially kicks off tomorrow (Thursday) with the NY Giants and the Washington Redskins taking center stage..you best believe I'll be sitting in front of the tube for this one..

And I know you thought the NBA was long gone at least for about 6 months, but the season is truly only two months away.. ESPN did some early polling picks about the next MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Future worst player. The list is pretty interesting... take a look at it
HERE.

LeBron James and Chris Paul take the spots for top MVP picks, Baron Davis and Jermaine O'Neal got the spots for worst newcomer this year. Also, Micheal Beasley grabbed the #1 spot for the Rookie of the year (Miami Heat)..along with hometown team homie, Russell Westbrook repping the new Oklahoma City team.

I think the voters did a pretty good job on this list, what do you think? Hit me up and let me know. Oh, if there there is something that you want this knowledgeable lady sports fan to be talking about or something I should know, hit me me as well.

Also a very insightfull story from one of my favorite ESPN Sports writers, Jemele Hill, on football players playing through the pain.. "Any Given Sunday" is truly a real-life story complete with consequences.. Read it HERE. My question to all, is how much would you be willing to sacrifice for your career. I try to keep these things in prospective, if I had my dream job, would I scarifice my health for it? I don't know, but if you play pro sports the smartest thing you can do is create another avenue for yourself so that your health will never be a bargaining tool to put on the table. What do you think..Is Shawne Merriman doing a little too much gambling with his health and career? See Shawne in play on Sunday, in San Deigo.

I thinks that's about it for now..I will be at the O-State vs Houston game this weekend, but I will be putting you for all the games and scores so no worries.

Sports..U.S. Open, & Ready for the Challenge

Today was a good day for tennis..

It started out with top-seeded Ana Ivanovic lost in one of the biggest upsets in tennis history today, stunned by 188th-ranked Julie Coin 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the second round of the U.S. Open.

Venus Williams won her match in blowout fashion against Rossana De Los Rios in less than an hour to reach the third round. The seventh-seeded Williams won on her fifth match point, needing only 59 minutes to advance.

James Blake also had an action packed match until his opponent withdrew from the match due to rumored back problems..

More action is expected tonight from powerhouse Serena Williams, she is currently leading her match 6-1, with one to go..

Sad thing is, if everything goes as planned the two Williams sisters will meet in the quarter-final..meaning only one can make it to the end..

Comments and concerns have been made more frequently about the tendency for them to be matched against each other in early rounds. Officials say that round matches are computer generated and are completely random. I can't say really believe that. It's just like China gymnastics team, you know that they were underage but you just can't prove it.
Either way, it looks like it's going to be a great U.S. Tennis Open.
UPDATE: By time I posted this Serena had finshed her job by winning her match in two sets, 6-1. 6-1, under-cutting her sister by one minute, fininshing her the match in 58 minutes. Get em'

Sports..Intellect..Governor Barkley? Umm..

Former NBA star and TNT sports analyst Charles Barkley attended the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday and answered five questions for CNN.com at the CNN Grill. Here are some of his responses..

On why he's in Denver?
Barkley: I just wanted to be here. I'm just so excited. I never thought in my lifetime we'd have a black man with a legitimate shot of being president.

What do you think the Democrats need to do here to win the White House?
Barkley: I think they've got to just make sure to get those troops home from Iraq, that's a big deal. But No. 1, we've got to give poor people a chance. America is divided by economics, and we as Americans, we've got to do a better job of supporting poor people.

And the question that knocked my socks off...

Are you running for governor in Alabama?
Barkley: I'm planning on running for governor. I can't screw up Alabama. Politics, it's just so important, and I just want to do good things with my name, and I'm just going to keep continuing to do that.

Hold Up...Wait, wait, wait. I am I the only person that thinks there is something wrong with Charles Barkley running for governor. The political cartoonists' already called and said..Ha..he's waay too easy. Charles said in a Playboy article earlier this year that he would run..but most thought he was just making conversation. Plus, who doesn't love his humor and his knowledge on the game of basketball, but it would be really hard to take him seriously. I guess he's serious.
Another thing is I know that everyone deserves a fresh start but, for the state of Alabama, don't you think there is a little conflict of interest knowing his past issues with gambling? Plus, if, and that's a BIG IF, he was elected, who's going to replace him on TNT? I could not see that trio working without him. Charles was the only post-athlete that I can truly say was built to commentate on their sport.

Maybe I rushing too soon to judgement, but maybe I've made some good points. It would be some-what entertaining to here why he really wants to run for governor, and what he is going to come with to prove he should win.

What do you think? Should Barkley be in politics are should he keep on the hardwood..Hit me up and let me know.

Hello again, on the last day of the Olympics; a lot went on while you were sleeping so I made the sacrifice to bring you all the action for ya bright and early.

Early Saturday morning the Women's basketball team won their 4th straight Gold medal and Spain. The U.S. Men's Olympic basketball team survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 Sunday in the gold-medal game.

US Men's volleyball competed in the Gold medal match against Brazil and came out with the win. Plus, China brought their artistic touches again for the closing ceremonies. Taking this Olympic ride with you guys has been real fun, complete with jaw drops and all kinds of emotions. So let's do this again in another four years..same time, same place, different year. 2012; London.

Sports.. Olympics Recap

So after the sloppy men's and women's 4x100 relay races, the leader of USA Track and Field said the federation will conduct a "comprehensive review" of the way it trains and coaches its relay teams after the men's and women's 4x100m relay teams each blew medal chances by dropping the baton in Olympic qualifying.

Both of the teams dropped the baton and did not advance to the finals. In his weekly blog on the USATF Web site, CEO Doug Logan said he has received a number of e-mails from fans saying the dropped batons in both relays Thursday were "reflective of a lack of preparation, lack of professionalism, and of leadership."

"I agree," Logan wrote Friday. "Dropping a baton isn't bad luck, it's bad execution. Responsibility for the relay debacle lies with many people and many groups, from administration to coaches to athletes. That's why, when these Games are completed, we will conduct a comprehensive review of all our programs."

Darvis Patton and Tyson Gay missed on the final exchange in the men's semifinal heat. Gay worked on exchanges with Patton in Beijing but was not present at the U.S. track team's training camp in Dalian, China, where two full practices were dedicated to baton passing.
Torri Edwards and Lauryn Williams bobbled the last exchange in the women's race. The men missed the final for the first time since 1988, and the second since 1912, and the women for the first time since 1948.

It means the U.S. will go 0-for-6 in Olympic sprint events -- 100, 200 or relay -- for the first time ever. If you didn't see the Men's and Women's butterfingers relay moments it's
HERE. All in all, yesterday was a bad day for the US Teams as a whole, favored women's diver Laura Wilkinson came in last, and the US Women's softball team, which has never lost a game since the sport made it's debut, lost to Japan and was left with a Silver medal. My thought is no country is perfect, but yesterday's historical losses make for a strong comeback, especially with the Men's Basketball final coming up. I'll continue keeping you updated with these last couple days of the Olympics so stay tuned.

Tonight: All the relay finals go down..so don't be looking for the USA representation till tomorrow.

Note: There was a recent quote that I really liked by Micheal Phelps:
"It's the Olympics. If you can't get up to swim in the morning, don't go.”

Sports.. Olympics Recap

Alright guys, I'm back with the Sports Goodie Bag, and this one will detail what's going on in the Olympics Day 5/Recap.

Last night Phelps won one more Gold medal; this one for the 200m medley. I think I can officially say that any race that Micheal is in, he'll win the Gold medal.
The U.S Women's gymnastics team who I told needs to get they minds right..fell apart during the last two rotations of the final. They had the opportunity to capitalize on China's mistakes on the High Beam but they as well made mistakes plus some they could not afford on the Floor rotation. So they ended up with a Silver medal, which is good, but you just should have seen the way they fell apart. My heart goes out to them for a loss like that.

Today you can look forward to more Micheal Phelps winning Gold medals. Also, the Individual Gymnastics finals start today, which could be really interesting. I'm sure China will be all in the mix seeing that they took both Team All-Around gold medal for gymnastics.

For those boxing fans you can also look forward to quite a few match-ups tonight. I will be watching most of it but tonight is definitely not one of those "action days". But, I'll keep you updated.


NOTE: Post Update to Aaron Rodgers Pre-Season Debut
Like I had predicted Aaron Rodgers didn't have his A game face on, it was more like his B- game face. Final score Bengals 20, Packers 17. I have to admit he did a lot better than I thought he would do. We will see if he can take the real heat when the season starts.
