Have a great New Years everybody.  Be safe and don’t pull a Barkley.

Peace out homies. Six Two and even!

First, Charles Barkley.  The Round Mound of Rebound was popped for DUI.  Barkley was arrested by the Gilbert Police Department at a DUI checkpoint and had his blood tested on scene by a mobile DUI task force.  He was released a short time later and took a taxi home.  Should have done that in the first place.

Then, Larry Fitzgerald.  The NFL superstar stands accused of a baby mama beatdown.  Larry Fitzgerald, the star wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, has been ordered to stay away from his baby mama and his 11-month-old son after he allegedly knocked her around a room and pulled her hair out.  Pulled her hair?  Really? 

Have a safe and happy New Year’s and remember, if you’re driving, don’t drink.  And if you’re drinking, don’t drive.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?  Should auld acquaintance be forgot and auld lang syne?  For auld lang syne, my dear.  For auld lang syne.  We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet.  For auld lang syne!

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Wooo doggie!  We got a  r-r-really big shew for you today.  A  r-r-really big shew.  Ahhh 2008.  It was a very good year.  It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls of independent means.  We’d ride in limousines.  It was a very good year.  It was a very good year for blogging, and today, I have the best of the best.  The Year In Sports brought to you by the finest bloogers known to man.  Read More »

Hornets 97  Wizards 85:  What a month, what a month.  What a month this Chris Paul character is having.  Chris Paul had sixteen dimes last night.  Chris Paul had a triple-double last night.  Triple trouble last night.  In thirteen games during the month of December, CP3 averaged 11.5 assists and 3.1 steals per game.  Big deal you say?  Who cares you say?  I say, over the last thirteen seasons, only one other NBA player averaged at least eleven assists and three steals per game in one month.  I say that other player was nonother than Paul himself.  Yowza!  Just so you know, the last player to do it by a guy not named Chris Paul was John Stockton back in ’95.

Knicks 93  Bobcats 89:  It’s no secret I’m a big David Lee fan.  That cat can play on my team any day.  That cat had a game-high sixteen boards last night.  That cat has averaged thirteen rebounds per game this month.  That cat now has the highest rebound average for any month by any Knicks player since February of 1995.  Since Patrick Ewing.  Top Cat.

Capitals 4  Sabres 2:   Like father like son.  Sort of.  Not really.  Chris Bourque scored the second goal for the Capitals last night.  That was his first goal and first point in the NHL.  Awww you broke your cherry.  That came in his ninth career game.  At the same age that Chris was last night (22 years, 336 days), his father, Hall-of-Fame defenseman Ray Bourque, had already amassed 283 points (94 goals, 189 assists) in 297 NHL games, and had already been named to the First or Second All-Star team in each of his first four seasons.  Those are some pretty big skates to fill.

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you?  I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you?  What do you mean funny, funny how?  How am I funny?  -Tommy DeVito

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Who knew Eli was so funny.  Someone on a Giants’ conference call asked Eli Manning if he planned to go to San Diego to watch his brother Peyton play for the Indianapolis Colts sagainst the Chargers in the first round.  Eli’s response?  “No, no, no plans.  My plans to Cabo fell through, so I am going to sit here.”  Zing!  Take that Tony Romo.  Try and stay upright in the shower after that Tony Romo.  I know, I know, I’m a day late and a dollar short on this one.  I don’t care.  I just saw it.  And besides, it’s my damn blog.  Not for nothing, I’m not as sold as everyone else is on the Giants making the Super Bowl.  I kinda like Carolina-lina.

And all the world is biscuit-shaped.  It’s just for me to feed my face.  And I can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste.  I’ve got one, two, three, four, five, senses working overtime.  -XTC

 Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  What was Omar Minaycal thinking?  Andruw Jones?  Are you out of your cotton pickin’ mind?  Andruw Jones?  32-year-old .158 with 76 strikeouts in 209 at-bats Andruw Jones?  I know the Mets outfield is shaky.  Anyone not named Carlos Beltran is suspect.  But Andruw Jones?  I’d rather take my chances with Daniel Murphy.  But rest easy Mets fans, the rumor has faded as quickly as it appeared.

The Big Man on the Campus want people to chant this, and I mean this.  If I have to I will get fiendish, and you will be the main course of a mean dish.  -Chubb Rock.

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  I understand that there are some people in Minnesota who are unhappy.  When Kevin Garnett left, so went the feather in their cappy.  But fear not Timberwolves fans, you got a guy you can crow about from here to the Delaware Water Gappy.  You got Big Al Jefferson.  You got one of the best young big men in the game.  Read More »
