I See Your Alex Tanney and I Raise You Johnny Mac

Apparently this is becoming a trend, I think the degree of difficulty is a little higher on some of the Johnny Mac throws. Also, I give Johnny credit for not having a bunch of goober fanboys hopping around and screaming after each throw...act like you have been there before.

Beer Pong = Sport

Beer pong has become the number one party game around. Like all good party games the rules are simple, the variations are many and inevitably it ends bad. These guys pull of some ridiculous trick shots and prove once and for all that a college degree doesn't mean what it used to.

Nice effort, hopefully for these guys '"pong" makes an X Games appearance. If poker is ESPN worthy, certainly this is.

Just Wow!

So I wasn't sure what to think when I saw this...other than that it has nothing to do with sports but it MUST go on the SBZ. Due to its awesomeness I really had no choice. If possible try to ignore Pauly D's innate, well, you-know-what...

Apparently this is a well thought out channel on you tube with this kid rocking to various jams. Not sure why it is entertaining but it is, there is much more where that came from.

From LaMarsha to LaMarcus to Snub

In the past I have been known to rip on LaMarcus Aldridge. Saying things like: “He’s too soft”, “I wish he would show some passion”, “He needs to take it inside more”. And it turns out I was right. The once soft and tender LaMarsha has become a strong inside force, one of the league leaders from 5 ft in and a legitimate All-Star. He answered his critics (while proving them right) and with the new dimensions in his game he has transformed himself from a high-level role player into one of the few players you can rely on every night for 20 and 10.

We made fun of him earlier this year as much smaller and much less talented players pushed him around the court. I think he got embarrassed and decided he would do something about it, good for him!

So with the reserve forwards being announced this week it was quite disappointing when LaMarcus was left out. I like the Blake Griffin inclusion, he is electric, the Clippers matter and he has the stats to be there. Nowitzki deserves to get in. even if you drop 6 points from his scoring average for all the flopping calls that go his way he still is an elite scoring threat.

The once-great Tim Duncan is a very good role player for the best team in the league. That doesn’t mean he is an All-Star. Pau Gasol is looking slow and unable to match up with the more powerful post players and his scoring is down this year, is this a pity case? “Pau we’re sorry you look like a turkey, but hey at least you’re an All-Star. And Ginobili, seriously? The guy should go play soccer and stop screwing up basketball with his flopping and flailing. The next time I see Ginobili drive to the hoop and not elbow someone in the face will be the first time.

Remove Gasol, Duncan and Ginobili and replace them with Steve Nash, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love. Zach Randolph (who is putting up amazing numbers) still gets snubbed but that’s okay, basketball isn’t his life, selling weed is. And then the commish can make Monta Ellis (the leagues #6 scorer) the fill in for the Yao Ming spot.

Not that the All-Star game is the NBA’s biggest problem (look no further than the referees) but this has to be the joke roster right? David Stern is so diabolical I wouldn’t put it past him to have alternative motives for influencing the rosters. If it is international appeal he is after someone should tell him that Tim Duncan’s Virgin Islands are not another country.

The Best Way to Tell Who is Going to Win the Super Bowl

One of the ways to tell who is going to win the Super Bowl is to check out the Madden simulation. The simulation is so accurate that they have correctly predicted 7 out of the last 8 Super Bowls. The only one they missed: The Giants amazing comeback victory over the previously undefeated Patriots.

Another great way is to look at their fans...which ever team has the most attractive fans wins the game. You decide...

I am not a Sanchez hater or a Sanchez apologist but the fact that they got this on camera and Mark is acting like a child while his team gets knocked out of the playoffs pushes him closer to the Matt Leinart category...

Kevin Love HORSE Winner

Okay, so these shots are hard to do, but it doesn't even matter that there are trick shots going on with that reporter guy out there. Seriously, if meth and ecstasy had a baby it would be this guy. I am sure he isn't working much anymore since there is no way a media outlet could maintain any credibility with him on their air. So without further ado...

I feel like this guy may have a future in politics...

'Bron not Brains

After the team that he bailed out on put up a stinker against the Lakers last night LeBron posted his expert opinion…

Way to take the high road LeBron, all those players on the Cav’s have just as many championship rings as you do. The continual stench coming from the Maverick Carter/LeBron camp is starting to look like it isn’t going to get better anytime soon.

Just think about Maverick Carter for a second, this is a guy who got a position at Nike marketing without a college degree because LeBron wanted him to work on his shoe project. Now, as the CEO of LeBron’s marketing abomination he tops the list of most unqualified CEO’s in America. He also has the ear of LeBron, at any time he could take over LeBron’s Twitter account but he hasn’t. Instead, he continues to let LeBron, a multi-million dollar celebrity with the maturity of a 9-year-old, damage his brand. Maybe it hasn’t sunk in to Mr. Carter that he isn’t a “self made man” and that his stock is directly tied to LeBron’s stock. But since he is learning on the job, hopefully that will sink in sooner rather than later.

So add karma, God, marketing, brand value and social media to the things LeBron doesn't understand.

New Years Resolutions

In the time honored tradition of creating new years resolutions I decided that since many of our sports personalities think that referring to themselves in the 3^rd person is introspection they might need a little help. So without further ado, here are some new years resolutions followed by the inevitable result.

LeBron James

Resolution – I will take fewer mental notes, shut up and play basketball, be a good teammate and work hard to win that elusive NBA Championship.

Likely outcome – By late February LeBron will have to “clarify” at least two more statements he has made as well as claim that his Twitter account has been hacked into. His extended time standing in front of the mirror trying to figure out his best “I just ran someone over on an out-of-control drive to the hoop but still got the call” face will distract from team chemistry and they will end up losing in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Chad Ochocinco

Resolution – I will spend less time on reality TV and a little more time on the practice field and in the weight room to prove that I have not lost a step and that I am still an elite receiver.

Likely Outcome – The offseason starts off with good intentions and Chad actually starts working on his game. Sadly, the progress is derailed by the fact that both he and his wife are media whores. They sign up for a VH1 reality show, the inevitable fake divorce, the scripted fights and then the actual divorce will prove to be too much and Ochocinco will have a disappointing start to the season and the Bengals will trade him to the Raiders for a pair spiked shoulder pads and a promise that Al Davis will stop prank calling them with trade offers for Ken Stabler.

Al Davis

Resolution – I will hand over control of the team to a young, bright GM who doesn’t look like a skeleton and he will make the decisions and I will reap the benefits. And I will stop prank calling the Bengals.

Likely Outcome – Al doesn’t hand over control of the team, the team's die-hard fan base gets another sub .500 season and Al Davis pretends that he can’t hear when he is booed during games. He is, however, forced to stop prank calling the Bengals as he makes another ill-advised trade for a big-name player who is no longer productive. Al also gets a leading role in the 5^th “Pirates” movie playing the canon-shooting, sword wielding pirate who just can’t call it quits even though every other pirate is using AK-47’s and night vision.

Tiger Woods

Resolution – I will practice my golf game and get it back on track, I will work as hard as possible to win at least one Major this year. Also, I will not cheat on any wives or girlfriends I may have this year.

Likely Outcome – Tiger will start of the year well, winning the Masters in April. Scared that Tiger is “back” Phil Mickelson will send “friends” to his room every night while in the UK for the British Open. Tiger, who is in a relationship, resists and sends Phil into a tailspin. It is later revealed that all of the “friends” Phil sent up were deemed “too attractive”.

David Stern

Resolution – I will fix NBA officiating and make it so it doesn’t look like our league is directly tied to the mafia.

Likely Outcome ­­ - David Stern falls asleep on his Learjet on his way to a WNBA game in Tulsa and forgets that he ever made this resolution. Sadly the napkin he wrote it on ends up in the pocket of a certain Italian family’s oldest son, never to be seen again. The NBA continues its unspoken partnership with the mafia and “series extender” Dick Bavetta continues to referee games despite the fact that he was born in the 1930’s.

Roger Goodell

Resolution – I will not be like David Stern and kill the popularity of my league through mismanagement and hypocrisy. I will look for meaningful solutions to the concussion issue.

Likely Outcome – Roger will start off the year looking into equipment upgrades, helmet size regulations and meaningful changes to the game that would prevent injuries. The season begins with nothing meaningful in place except for a poorly produced video that confuses the players. More fines are doled out, officials get confused about the rules ruining several games, NFL popularity suffers a dip and somewhere in New Jersey David Stern is dropping off a silver suitcase full of cash into a car with fake license plates.
