Don’t ask me how I happened to stumble upon this, but…

WTF?!

Supposedly, this is a J.J. Redick bobblehead. I do not approve. Ew.

I think it’s safe to say that Gilbert Arenas is an odd duck.

A really odd duck.

open letter to spike lee

michelle — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:53:36 +0000

Dear Spike Lee,

As mascot for the New York Knicks, I submit to you the following message from the Boston Celtics, their fans, and the entire state of Massachusetts, on behalf of whom I speak. You can keep your mercurial hotdogs in the Big Apple. We don’t want ‘em. We tried that once and and a frightening blitzkrieg of vaseline and midnight underpants dancing followed. For everyone’s safety, please just keep Nate Robinson and I’ll pretend I never read this report from Chris Sheridan. Ok? Ok, then.

Love,
me

ho ho ho happy grizzly day

Haha! Rudy Gay, Elf Dictator. My favorite line is: “Marc Gasol. NOT YET!”

on the muse’s mind – week of 11/30

michelle — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:30:48 +0000

Here is what the muse™ is thinking about this week:

A chin length bob would look cute on me right about now
* [BOS 108, CHA 90] It may be too early to decide the Celtics are out of their slump and cut my hair — I mean we beat the Bobcats and they aren’t exactly the Lakers — but I’m going to throw caution to the wind and just go ahead and do it. How about my boy, Perk tonight, huh? I love when he has a good game. He’s such a smart player and hard worker that I really appreciate it when he’s successful. Shelden Williams continues to impress too. Baby who? (Just kidding, Glen. *winkys*)

De-fense. *clap clap clap* De-fense.
* [PATRIOTS 17, SAINTS 38] Mmmm, yeah… The Patriots defense kind of blows, doesn’t it? Somewhere in Oakland, Richard Seymour is giggling to himself.

The college football coaching deadpool
* Charlie Weis – shit-canned from Notre Dame
* Bobby Bowden – “retired” (ie. forced out) from FSU
* Mark Mangino – waiting to hear fate from Kansas

Tiger Woods, TMZ has it’s sights locked on you
* This whole Tiger Woods saga is nuts. The only way it could be weirder is if Tiger was floating in the sky in a big tinfoil balloon. The story just doesn’t make sense. His wife happened to be outside with a golf club? What now? I can understand why he wants the whole thing to go away… I just hope he realizes that it isn’t going to. TMZ and their ilk are nightmarishly determined and they will never give up until they’ve chewed all the meat off the carcass. I have always admired the way that Hugh Grant handled that old “caught with a hooker” scandal. He just sheepishly marched his ass onto the Tonight Show or Letterman or wherever and threw himself on the mercy of the American public. And what happened? We all thought he was boyishly charming (like the character he plays in absolutely every movie he’s ever been in) and forgave him. Then again, maybe Tiger doesn’t have anything to confess to. Guess we’ll find out soon enough. The media is a relentless bitch. You can run, but you can’t hide.

i’m staging an intervention

Ok, so I know prison does some interesting things to people. Sometimes they find God. Sometimes they find inner peace. Sometimes they just get super buff and come out with some interesting “stories” to tell. I’m down with all that. Whatever works. To each his own. But, you know… I just can’t get behind this interesting bit of news: J.R. Smith no longer wants to be called, J.R. He wants to be called… *drumroll*… Earl.

Um, no.

I’m sorry if that’s your given name, but I’m just flat out saying that this isn’t going to happen.

The only names I will authorize are the following: J.R. (an oldie, but a goodie), Smitty (holla! JVGisHipHop) or my personal favorite, Golden God.

Ok? Ok, then.

baseball nightmares

michelle — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:21:13 +0000

From the Ewww! files
* The New York Daily News is reporting that workers at an Arizona cryonics lab abused and mistreated Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams’ frozen severed head by playing baseball with it. OMFG. Oh-Em-Eff-G! Who works at that horror show of a lab? Serial killers? Excuse me while I go vomit chunks. [AP/Boston.com: Report: Book says Ted Williams' head mistreated]

Brad Penny, still dead to me
* Last Wednesday, Brad Penny pitched his first complete game in 4 years. Despite the effort, the Giants were officially eliminated from the playoffs. Penny is a free agent next season and has not ruled out a return to the Giants. Either way, he is expected to stay in the National League. Surprise, surprise. [AP: Penny tosses gem, but Giants out of playoff hunt]

John Smoltz sucks weenies (still)
* In other “I was a big fat failure with the Red Sox” news, John Smoltz recently blamed his suck performance on his balls not being rubbed up enough. Then his Skipper accused the opposing pitcher of using pine tar to be able to keep a good grasp on his balls. Wow, that takes… um.. brass ones. [MLB.com: Arroyo denies pine tar accusation]

delonte’s packing (and other musings)

michelle — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 01:07:07 +0000

A shotgun? In a guitar case? WTF?
* What the hell is Cleveland doing to my beloved Delonte West? I blame YOU for this, LeBron! Word has it that the mercurial KFC fan was bombing down the street on a Can-Am Spyder motorcycle somewhere in Maryland when he wisely cut off an officer. D’oh! He was subsequently found to be packing some major heat — two loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun in a guitar case. A guitar case. And the legend continues… smh. More on this from ESPN/AP – Cavs’ West arrested in Maryland

They need a couples name. I dub them… Khlodom
* People magazine is reporting that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are already picking out wedding rings. Why the hell not? He’d be an easy man to cook for. Hey honey, you want the Skittles tonight or the Twizzlers? More on this whirlwind romance from People.com – Khloe Kardashian to Marry L.A. Lakers Player

Bouncing back
* NFL wide receiver (and Kendra baby daddy), Hank Baskett has landed on his feet after being kicked to the curb by the Philly Eagles. He’ll now be catching passes from Peyton Manning for the Indy Colts who needed a replacement after the team lost wide-out Anthony Gonzalez in a week 1 knee injury. Not a bad team to end up with, all things being equal. It’s not like getting traded to the Raiders or something. RIP Richard Seymour. More tidbits from USA Today – Hank Baskett, Playmate wife join Peyton Manning’s team

NBA fans, prepare for scab refs
* No Dick Bavetta? No Joey Crawford? What hell, you say? More on this from Yahoo! Sports – NBA to move ahead with replacement refs

New phenomenon – the Twitter feud
* So the latest Twitter feud is currently on-going and stars Jets bigmouth, Kerry Rhodes and former Patriot, Rodney Harrison. The gist is that Rodney called out Kerry for threatening to embarrass the Pats and more specifically for threatening to hit QB and patron saint, Tom Brady. They’re going back and forth barbing yet claiming to respect each other. Blah, blah, blah. Lets just cut to it. Clearly, Rodney is right. He’s a former Patriot and the other guy is a smelly NY Jet. There. Done. More on this silly social media feud from WEEI - Kerry Rhodes and Rodney Harrison Engage in Twitter Battle
