The NBA Draft Lottery Was Not Fixed, But…
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on May 31, 2012
A lot of people thought NBA Commissioner/dictator David Stern was up to no good again last night. The New Orleans Hornets won the top spot in the 2012 NBA draft thanks to the NBA draft lottery during halftime of the Celtics-Heat game (wasn’t that a great game?). Ah the NBA lottery, where the NBA gives […]
My Late-Ass NBA Conference Finals Preview
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on May 28, 2012
Once again I am late as hell in my NBA playoff preview, this time it’s the conference finals. While I have been dealing with a lot of personal stuff lately – grandmother’s death – I apologize for being late with this. Having said that, it’s time to get it going. Note: despite what has already […]
Spurs and Thunder Prove that Small Markets Can Win
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on May 27, 2012
Before I start this rant, let’s rewind to the NBA lockout for a minute. Remember when the small market owners were trying to strong-arm the players into taking a lesser deal? Remember when those same small market owners were bitching over stars joining forces on teams in major media markets? And here’s my favorite: remember […]
Orlando Just Screwed Up Its Future
Posted by klownboy in NBA, sports blogging on May 21, 2012
Orlando Magic just broke off its coach and Ron Jeremy double Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis “My Man” Smith. All this to appease center Dwight Howard. Orlando just set itself up for disaster. I do not care who the player is (if he’s not Michael Jordan), you never NEVER let the inmates run […]

Posted by klownboy in college football, sports blogging on May 16, 2012
Florida State has been rumored to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference for the Big 12, and things have really heated up the last few days. FSU’s chairman of the Board of Trustees poured gasoline on the flame when he opened up his yap over the ACC’s new contract with ESPN. Head football coach Jimbo Fisher […]

Before Ray Lewis, There Was Junior Seau
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on May 2, 2012
One of the biggest shocks I’ve ever experienced happened earlier today while listening to Sirius/XM NFL Radio. I heard that Junior Seau died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest earlier this afternoon. I must admit I felt a bit of sadness. I even shed a few tears while watching his mom crying […]
Shanahan Is Nuts for Drafting Cousins
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on May 1, 2012
Yes, I know Mike Shanahan is a good coach – though he hasn’t won anything of significance since John Elway retired (look it up). And I am sure dude wants to win in Washington more than anything. But after seeing Shanahan draft Kirk Cousins in the fourth round after he mortgaged the future to draft […]
