Want to Bet Cash Money’s Baby $5 Million on the Super Bowl?
Definitely do so! Birdman tweeted Monday that he would be betting $5 million on the Patriots. Is this because he admires Bill Belichick’s leadership style? Nope. This is about family. According to Baby, Pats running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis is his “nephew.” And for YMCMB (YOUNG MONEY CASH MONEY BRADYS), family comes first. I have no […]

Protection: Justified Season 3, Episode 2, ‘Cut Ties’
Last night’s episode of Justified was an example of why some newcomers find it a little hard to embrace the show initially. In the first episode we caught up with Marshall Raylan Givens, his ex-wife, current lover, and soon-to-be mother of his child, Winona, his fremesis, Boyd Crowder, and all the other characters, old (Art! Tim!) […]

The Shootaround: NBA News, Notes and The Unbreakable Memphis Grizzlies
Living Legends During last season’s playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies were a shocking success story, knocking out the Spurs and taking the Thunder to seven dramatic games before being knocked out.

Exit Flip: Saunders Reportedly Out as Wizards Coach
At 8:36 a.m., The Washington Post published a story about Flip Saunders giving the Washington Wizards a day off. That seemed odd because the Wizards got severely punked Monday night by the Sixers. It seemed less odd at about 11:30 a.m., when Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that Flip had been fired. You hate to see […]

I’m no neck doctor, so I have no idea how he’s doing physically, but I am a student of human behavior and the interview he’s given to The Indianapolis Star‘s Bob Kravitz is, while funny, not exactly full of sunshine […]

NBA Trade Deadline Countdown: How Crazy Can Danny Ainge Get in 52 Days?
Coffee, cigarettes, automobile manufacturing, and NBA trade rumors are what made this nation great. I already had coffee today, I quit smoking a few weeks ago, and I take the subway. So let’s just get into the slanderous, scandalous mongering, shall we? Two juicy ones Monday: At the eye of the rumor storm is Danny […]

The Shootaround: NBA News, Notes, and Ricky Goes to Hollywood
Tonight’s the Night For … The most entertaining bad team and the most nerve-wracking good one to do battle. Ricky Rubio brings his ready-for-the-silver-screen game to Hollywood. Chris Paul is still listed as day-to-day. Unless you have a high-stakes craps game, or have recently been involved in a helmet-to-helmet hit with James Harrison, you’re watching […]

Real Madrid Might Own La Liga, But They Belong to Barca
Jose Mourinho has pulled off some pretty impressive feats in his time — winning the Champions League with both Inter Milan and Porto, going unbeaten at home for 60 games as boss of Chelsea — but perhaps the greatest trick he’s ever pulled was getting his Real Madrid team to ignore Barcelona. And this season, […]
