Ron-Ron Comes Strong at Yao and the Rockets

Yao Ming shot an arrow across the bow of 'Good Ship Ron-Ron' Artest yesterday. According to an article in the Houston Chronicle, all the way from China ('they can't buy cell phones with chickens' can they Jay Crawford?) Yao said this of Artest: "When I text-messaged with Luis (Scola), we talked about team chemistry. That's only what worries us. We worry [read more...]

Ten Years Later…

When was the last time you went on YouTube and watched some old Michael Jordan highlights? Can you remember the smile on your face when John Paxson's three beat the Suns in the 1993 Finals? Do you still consider Phil Jackson a Bull, or has his time with the Lakers adjusted your thinking? It has been ten years since the Bulls [read more...]

-Mike Bibby and Ron Artest each returned for the Kings last night, with both coming off the bench.

New Year’s Resolutions

I can't believe it's already been a year since I wrote last year's list of New Year's resolutions. Although, it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about my favorite baseball team anymore. I'd like to send a shout-out right now to Ozzie Guillen and his crew for allowing me to scratch "I never got to see the [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

For those that didn't see it when it first ran on HBO, the mini-series Band of Brothers is about the finest piece of filmmaking these eyes have ever seen. It is an eye-opening and incredibly realistic (I imagine) account of what it was like training for and participating in WWII, and every time I see it I appreciate my grandparents' generation more and more.

For Carlos Beltran - Seeing as he's set to make about $60 billion over the next few years, I would say that your best bet would be making something instead of buying something. Maybe a personally created mix CD, or a self-edited compilation of your personal home movies, complete with excessive slow motion, many star wipes and a soundtrack courtesy [read more...]

Ron Artest Rapped in Mystery

Yogi was so wrong. If ninety percent of the game is mental, the other half isn't physical. It's music, err, rap. Ron Artest was already a walking caricature. We knew he was out of focus. Now we know the world he lives in must be just as out of focus to him. The enigmatic ballplayer…excuse me, ballplayer/aspiring music mogul has officially [read more...]
