Los Angeles Lakers Fall to OKC Thunder AGAIN! (VIDEO)

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

Now many of you who know me know that I’m not a Lakers fan, I prefer…well that’s not really important, but what is important is that fact that Los Angeles Lakers are 0-2 in the Western Conference semi-finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Are the Lakers the mighty team that we thought they were? Or is the better question, is the OKC Thunder this season’s golden child, a position held by the Dallas Mavericks during last season’s playoff run.

During both games of the 2-0 run by the Thunder, the team has trailed during the last 2 ½ minutes in the 4th quarter. Last night Kevin Durant scored 22 points and the Thunder scored the final nine points to rally for a 77-75 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2.

Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum scored 20 points apiece for the Lakers, who came up empty on their last six possessions after Bynum’s hook shot made it 75-68 with 2:09 remaining.

To me all this seems very déjà vu-ish stemming from last season’s heart breaking lost for Lakers’ Nation during the final games for retiring head coach Phil Jackson.

Now I know many Laker fans are going to bring up the fact that the franchise has several championship rings, but as Janet Jackson would sing “What Have You Done For Me Lately”.

I’m not sure if the Lakers will be able to pull this one out after reviewing the sloppy defensive play from each games last couple of minutes, but I’m still excited about the possibilities of a Kobe vs. LeBron Finals. Nonetheless, credit has to be given where credit is due, Kevin Durant and the OKC Thunder have provided NBA fans an exciting season.

As you know (unless you’ve been living under a rock) Deion Sanders is involved in a nasty divorce battle with his estranged wife Pilar Sanders.

Deion will retain custody of the couples’ son, while the daughter remains with Pilar, reported by USA Today. The final custody agreement will be worked out later.

After a domestic incident on April 23rd Pilar was forced to move out of the couple’s palatial Texas mansion. Before then the entire family had been living in different parts of the mansion while the divorce proceedings were taking place.

Deion Sanders will be in Atlanta, the city where he played many season for the Atlanta Falcons, this weekend holding try-outs for female and male youth, ages 5-14, for the inaugural season of the TRUTH Atlanta Cheer and Football Squads.

Chad Ochocinco Pins Letter To NFL Commissioner About NFL Future

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

Chad Ochocino never ceases to amaze me.

With all of the criticism of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in recent months, the one man who has probably talked to Goodell the most when it comes to punishments and fines wrote the Commissioner a “heartfelt” letter about what he thinks he should do about the future of the NFL.

Ochocinco placed the letter to the man whom he claims to have a “father/son relationship” on his website, OCNNReport.com. Before starting the letter Ochocinco explained to the many fans and viewers of his site: “Many of you know I have a father son relationship with Roger Goodell. I love him and just had to reach out to him with all that is going on. We are at a crucial point in the history of football. The foundation of the game is in jeopardy based on all these factors and the future of the game is going to be shaped by him.”

And then he posted the following:

Dear Dad,

I know it has been a rough week, so I wanted to reach out. Players dying, players suing and on top of that my peers are just going off on you in the media. It does not help that ESPN has all of a sudden become Medical TV with damn near every brain expert on the planet. This has got to be the worst week ever. Since no one is showing any support, I figured I would be the first. You are in one big ass catch 22 and quite frankly, I am not sure there is any solution. One thing I think can help is killing the NFL PR machine.

Y’all do a darn near perfect job at portraying this game as one played by heroes.

But let’s be real dad. This is a nasty, dirty and violent game with consequences. Sign up or go get a regular job. Watch it or turn off the TV and go fishing with your kids. It is really that simple. I know there are probably legal and financial implications that prevent this blunt depiction, but am not sure if you have a choice. If you don’t say it now, the mounting evidence being revealed publicly will say it for you very soon. In all, I love you and if anyone can lead us out of this mess, it will be you. Oh by the way, I have a deal for you. Am having a rebound year and plan to do a lot of celebrating in the end zone. Can my fine money go to supporting ex-players suffering?

Sincerely,

Chad

There has been no comment from Goodell of whether he has received the letter or plans to adhere to the things that Ochocinco mentioned in his letter. It’s surely interesting to see Ochocinco take this type of approach.

Shaquille O’Neal Earns Doctorate Degree in Miami

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Dr. O’Neal will see you now!

That’s right…former NBA All-Star and current TNT color analyst, Shaquille O’Neal earned his doctorate in education this weekend from Barry University Saturday in Miami, Florida.

Education has always been one of O’Neal’s passions, in addition pursuing his education was a promise that he made to his parents.

O’Neal left Louisiana State University early for the NBA, but went back to school and earned his bachelor’s degree and then a master’s degree.

Shaq wrote his thesis on the value of humor in leadership, because he says he’s a natural leader who loves to laugh.

He says he wants to become a motivational speaker and plans to go to law school.

Well Shaq is definitely dispelling the myth that jocks are dumb.

Your J.G.F.,
