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?

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.
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.

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.

Well, lucky for us, Forbes has now compiled a list of which sports teams are most likely to go go for pizza and never make it back to their destinations.
The 10 that are most likely to move for one reason or another is as follows:
-- Florida Marlins
-- Tampa Bay Rays
-- Buffalo Bills
-- Minnesota Vikings
-- San Francisco 49ers
-- New York Islanders
-- Phoenix Coyotes
-- Nashville Predators
-- New Orleans Hornets
-- Charlotte Bobcats
So what do you guys think of this list? Let a sistah know. FYI, click the Forbes link for the full article.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
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.
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. Posted by Suga HiL at 8:07:00 AM 3 comments

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.
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." Posted by Suga HiL at 9:00:00 AM 0 comments

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.
My favorite moments were watching the James Blake and Roger Feder tennis match, the Micheal Phelps on the real close mill-second swims, and Men's basketball final match. What were yours? Hit me up and let me know.

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.”
