I can see that Def Jam doesn’t recognize me.  I’m Mike D the one who put the satin in your panties.  Time to count MC’s in this place to be.  Not five, not four, not two, just three.  -Beastie Boys

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  You all know about Kobe.  You all know about he rootinest tootinest gun in the West.  You know about him.  Do you know about the other guys?  No, not BF Goodrich.  Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.  But odd as it may be, without my one and two where would there be, my three?  Lamar, Pau and me.  And that’s the magic number.    Read More »

They go ohh and ahh when I jump in my car.  People treat me like Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  I’m a supreme rap star.  -EPMD

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Down goes Bynum!  There’s no need to fear, Lamar Odom is here.  I know, I know, Kung Pau Gasol had his first triple-double as a Laker.  I don’t care.  The story today is Lamar Odom.  Last night, Odom had twenty rebounds in the Lakers’ win over the Hawks.  That marks his fourth consecutive game with at least seventeen rebounds.  Big deal you say?  So what you say?  I say, the last Lakers player with 17-or-more rebounds in four straight games was the Big Fella.  I say it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975-76.  Put that in your Pau and smoke it.

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!

So I got something new to see and you just gon’ keep hatin’ me and we just gon’ be enemies.  I know you can’t believe.  -Kanye West

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Goodness gracious great balls of fire!  These here Lakers are not messing around.  Like my main Paulie from the Pope of Greenwich Village always says, “I don’t mean you walk around morning to night whackin’ ‘em upside the head like someone from the other side, but you terrorize ‘em once in a while, just to keep ‘em in line.  Know what I mean?”  The Lakers know what he means.  The Lakers are keeping folks in line.  The Lakers just kept the Eastern Conference in line.  Kept ‘em in line real good like.     Read More »

Share your knowledge.  It’s a way to achieve immortality.  -Dalai Lama

1.  Meet the Mets, meet the Mets.  Step right up and greet the Mets.  Bring your kiddies, bring your wife.  Guaranteed to have the time of your life.  Oh boy!  Jimmy Rollins doesn’t look so silly anymore:  “The Mets had a chance to win the World Series last year.  Last year is over.  I think we are the team to beat in the NL East, finally.”  Remember that?  Now, with one embarrassing loss after another, the Mets’ first-place lead in the NL East has completely vanished.  Voila.  Three games to go.  Three games to go and they’re tied with the Phillies. The Fighting Phills.  Three games to go and Jimmy Rollins is looking more right every day.            Read More »

If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.  -Adlai Stevenson

1.  Sidney Crosby.  Sid the Kid.  The Next One.  Wins the NHL MVP.   A travesty. It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.  Martin Brodeur should have won that award.  Hands down.          Read More »
