I may look intimidating, but the picture has rounded edges to show I have a sensitive side, too! Well that was entertaining. For those of you that don't quite understand what happened at the trading deadline, allow me to explain: #1. Kenny Williams talked to Nationals GM Mike Rizzo about acquiring Adam Dunn last week. Rizzo explained that he wanted Quentin, Beckham, and prospects. Kenny kindly told him to fuck off. #2. Kenny and Rizzo talk again earlier this week, with Kenny pitching a package involving Hudson and Tyler Flowers. Rizzo explains that he is interested only in a trade involving Edwin Jackson. #3. On Thursday, Kenny talks to Rizzo about a possible deal where he would send Jackson, Christian Marrero, and a mid-level prospect for Dunn. Rizzo claims that if Kenny could get Jackson, he would do it. #4. Kenny acquires Jackson. #5. Rizzo asks for Jackson in addition to Quentin or Beckham. #6. Kenny says "fuck you" and hangs up. So, in short, we are now operating at ...

OY! Apparently, Amar'e Stoudemire is a Jew. http://www.jewishjournal.com/thegodblog/item/amare_stoudemire_is_jewish_20100728/ After finding out that his mother is Jewish (dubious), NY's big ticket did what any other 20-something Jewish kid would do - he hopped on a plane and went to Israel to flip out. You can keep up on his exploits via twitter (amareisreal) including recent gems such as: -I'm the new Reggie White. (RIP) I'm going 2 Israel 2 study Hebrew. It's time 2 get a better understanding on who we R. Follow me !! Shalom - On the flight to Israel. This is going to be a great trip. The holy land. Learn about it. This ze ha'halom sheli. Shalom. -Jerusalem is a beautiful city, I'm at a cafe eating a late lunch. I learning Hebrew by the min. Keep up !! Whatever. This whole thing ranks pretty high on the ridiculously unlikely scale. I'm only posting it because of the slim possibility that he sits out the season because he wants to learn in yeshiva. ...

Friends, brothers, countrymen - we are on the brink of war. Don't pretend like you haven't noticed it. This is a full-out SIEGE of the Dong. Every day we endure countless of attacks, lives and links hurled at us with the future of only an immediate death. They do not die with honor, nor do they waver from their suicide mission. I am, of course, referring to the Chinese. Yes, that's right, for every post we have on the dong, it is followed up by one of these "gems": 陳晏李秀樺雄 said... 這BLOG真是讓人意猶未盡!! YOU'RE A FUCKING AUTOMATION! You don't watch sports! You don't even know what the hell a ZJ is (for the record, if you have to ask, you can't afford it). Well, I for one am tired of this shit. We need to hit them where it hurts, and hit them hard. We will make them remember the day that they crossed the Dong. As of Thursday, from 1:00 PM to 1:02 PM, residents of China will not have access to the StarCraft II servers. Now, I know what you're thinkin...

We will march on Washington! We will have hamburgers in the dugout! Look - I hate the Cubs as much as the next guy, but any Cub fan fighting for the removal of Jim Hendry is an absolute moron. Yes, the Cubs are terrible. Yes, the Cubs haven't won anything since the silent film era. I understand that it's tough and that someone is to blame, but you don't blame Jim Hendry. Let's take a look at all the "horrible" things that Hendry has done for you over the years, shall we? 2002 - Hendry deals Dontrelle Willis and Julian Tavarez for Matt Clement and Antonio Alfonseca As we know, Willis went on to have a few really good seasons for Florida, and has since become a colossal bust. Tavarez had a good year for the Pirates and one for Boston, but otherwise failed to live up to expectations (not to mention getting knocked around more than Rihanna). On the Cubs end dumping the psychotic Tavarez proved to be a bit of "addition by subtraction", Clement had three g...

Still The Best Ever? The Heat officially signed Zydrunas Ilgauskas as the 9th player on the roster, joining Mario Chalmers, Mike Miller, Jamaal Magloire, Joel Anthony, Udonis Haslem and the big three, Bosh, Wade and LeBron. That team is looking pretty goddamn good right now. Definitely one of the best in the NBA and an obvious title contender. But, is this an all-time great team? It's impossible to say before they've even played a game (let alone a full season) but on paper, we can at least look at some comparisons. I am obviously assuming that the 96 Bulls are the best team ever assembled: Starters : Jordan Pippen Kukoc Rodman Ron Harper Luc Longley Bench : Steve Kerr Randy Brown Bill Wennington Jud Buechler James Edwards John Salley (Simpkins, Haley, Caffey - not on playoff roster) Let's not match these team up against each other (the Bulls destroy them with Pip on LBJ, Rodman on Bosh and Jordan on Wade) but let's just think about the potential of the roster on paper....

Here is my chat with Fisting Andrew Golatta this morning. It was too good not to share. Not surprisingly, he hasn't been following the LeBron saga, so this is a fresh take: FAG : whats up, fag nipples? me : this lebron shit is crazy man FAG : ??? me : you watch any of this hullabaloo last night? FAG : how long have you known me? didn't watch it. fill me in FAG : OK, so i just read it on CNN. what's the big deal? me : he just took a massive dump on cleveland, on live tv me : it was funny FAG : it's not like he's the first to do that. cleveland sucks me : yeah but this was unprecedented FAG : to me, it sounds like he agreed to be more of a team player and for less money, in exchange for actually winning something FAG : can't really fault that me : he didn't tell cleveland until the announcement. me : he scheduled himself an hour on ESPN to shit on their face FAG : hahahaha me : normally, people just sign and it gets reported me : he made a national spectacle o...

I'm a self-absorbed douchebag! Reinsdorf : "I respect his decision, but as I've said before, I believe we'll be better than Miami." "Miami will have three great players, but no center, no point guard and no cap room," Reinsdorf said before the decision. "I think we'll be better if he comes to us, but I think we'll be a great team without him." Gar Forman: "I remain convinced that this organization made the strongest of bids to acquire LeBron James during this free agency period," Forman's statement read. " Those quotes are perfect - the Heat will be fun to watch but all 3 of them will suffer statistically and as a TEAM, they aren't that good. How are they going to stop Dwight Howard? How are they going to stop the Lakers (Pau and Bynum)? Put Artest on LeBron, Kobe on Wade and I think the Lakers win that battle 9 times out of 10. The Bulls did all they could to get him and he would have made us a better team. I...

Don't be a moron. An open letter to LeBron James: Dear LeBron, I'm looking forward to your press conference tonight. I don't blame you for being an egomaniac. You're just reacting to an insane amount of public interest and the 24/7 prying of the media. Announce your decision (the biggest FA decision in NBA history) on your own terms. Give some money away to charity in the process... nice gesture. You are the best player in the NBA, you make any team an instant contender and you're in your prime. The spotlight is yours. You have a tough decision to make: The Heat have Wade and Bosh, 2 of your buddies from the Olympics (also in their primes) and you can create a true dynasty in Miami. Even with scrubs filling out the rest of the lineup, you'll be in a great position to win a few championships and should have a lot of fun doing it. La de da, easy choice... Wrong. Miami is the worst decision you can make. If you succeed, you'll only add to Wade's glory. It...

Boozer: 5 Years, $80M. Perspective: Wade: 6 years $125M Bosh: 6 years $95-125M (depending on if it's a sign and trade) Joe Johnson: 6 years, $119M Amare: 5 years, $100M I'm not unhappy - we still have room for a max (if Lebron want's to win a title) and didn't break the bank for a guy who averaged 1.5 less ppg and 3 more rpg than Amare last season. Also, if we missed on Boozer, we would have had to sign David Lee, who is useless. This is a good deal, he makes us instantly better and is a great addition to Rose/Noah/Deng and provides much needed inside scoring. I like it. I like it a lot. Updated LeBron odds: Knicks: 50% Cavs: 20% Heat: 15% Bulls 15% KEG

Lebron Watch 2010: 40% Cleveland 25% NY 25% Miami 5% LAC/NJ 5% Chicago We could still sign Boozer/D.Lee and JJ Redick/Ray Allen/Mike Miller and field a pretty solid squad with some depth. It'll be tough to get past Miami in the East though... especially if they DON'T get Lebron and sign 3-4 good support guys like the ones above. This summer sucks. KEG

Fags As everyone knows (thanks to an insane amount of media coverage), this is the biggest free agent bonanza the NBA has ever seen. The big names include LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Amare, Boozer, Dirk, Pierce and Joe Johnson. Amare just signed with the Knicks (not a bad deal, if he brings others) and Johnson is going to stay with the Hawks for a max deal which is apparently fair market value. But if you're a Hawks fan, you want to find market value, and strangle it to death. Since everyone else is doing it, here are some arbitrary grades and predictions! Grades : Knicks : F Sure, they got Amare but it's clearly a last-gasp effort to get a blue chip FA before the big 3 spurn the big apple. Amare is a really good player. How he'll play without Nash on a weak team (and on a bum knee with one half of an eyeball) remains to be determined. Unless they ALSO get another really good player, this is a failure of an offseason, considering the tanked last year and traded everything just for ...

I am Batman Inexplicably, the All-Star voting did not result in Brian Anderson going to the All-Star game. It was not revealed how many votes he got (I'm sure it was on par with Albert Pujols), but there was some sort of behind-the-scenes collusion that resulted in a snub. Of course, Brian took it all in stride, putting together his most impressive performance to date : Anderson, the White Sox's first-round pick in the 2003 draft, threw a scoreless first inning Sunday in his professional pitching debut for Kansas City's rookie affiliate in the Arizona League. Anderson, the Sox's 2006 opening day center fielder, struck out two and allowed an infield hit to Yair Lopez of San Diego's rookie team. Obviously, an overzealous editor got to this copy before it hit the press - let me give you the unedited version: Brian Motherfucking Anderson, quite possibly the best player ever, threw a scoreless first inning Sunday. This should not surprise you, because he is fucking...
