March Madness

The exact same day I put a deposit down on Penguins season tickets for 2007-08, Mario Lemieux and his group announce an "impasse" on negotiations between Penguins ownership and the scum bag politicians policing this deal. So Lemieux will now "aggressively" pursue other options. And I don't blame him.

When is the last time you financed something (i.e. a car, house, etc) without knowing the interest rate? It appears the last time both sides met, Slick Ed Rendell (chief crook in this deal) refused to offer this bit of information. I would think that's kind of important, no? When talks broke down, Governor Rendell simply pounded his fist on the table in a last ditch attempt to intimidate.

Perhaps Slick Ed has watched one too many gangster movies. Maybe he's too wrapped up in Scorcese's big win for The Departed. Instead of being a Tony Soprano wannabe, I'd simply suggest it's in the people's best interests for Big Ed to act accordingly to his role: a public servant.

More madness.................

So Kobe Bryant says that when he gives his defender a back handed slap in the face after his jumpshot, that it's only natural (RP song). My advice...just keep doing it, and stick to your story. If you smack guys around consistently after you shoot, maybe the league office will buy it. (And it offers good video)


Let's get serious. The Kobester's backhand is about as natural (albeit, less brutal) an act as this Chris Simon stick to the face...


The madness doesn't stop there. My boys from Inter Milan get ousted from Champions League play on Tuesday, then throw down...

That's Dave Navarro from Valencia doing his best Carmelo Anthony RUN-AWAY-STICK-AND-MOVE impression. I just wish my boys would've showed as much desire during the game, as they did chasing him all the way back to the locker room.

And finally...you know it's all mad when Coach K of all people starts to defend his players for being goons. Speaking of Duke...if you're a Duke hater...check out the following fun little site....
