A Little Late Don’t You Think

13 Jun

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has brought formal charges against former cyclist and CANCER survivor Lance Armstrong for doping. They are looking to take away his 7 Tour de France wins. To make it even worse they are banning Armstrong from competing in Ironman triathlons, which apparently is his new hobby.

Good job Anti-Doping Agency catching someone after they won the Tour de France 7 times. What tipped you off, the 7th win? And hasn’t Armstrong been through enough, I mean the man survived stage 3 cancer. Can’t we just let him have his 7 wins in peace?

Also, the Olympics are about to start shouldn’t the Anti-Doping Agency have their hands full with that. Or do they only care after an athlete wins. It’s so much better to get to strip a title. Bureaucracy is so efficient.

The LeBron James Song

13 Jun

Tuesday night on Jimmy Kimmel, Mike Tyson treated the audience to a special song dedicated to LeBron James. Let’s just hope that when Tyson moves to Broadway he doesn’t try to sing.

Mad Men

13 Jun

If you were wondering how the Miami Heat establishment felt about last night’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder look no further than the faces of Pat Riley and Alonzo Mourning. Riley, a former coach, is president of the Miami Heat. And the guy next to him is  his body guard former Heat center Mourning.  They do not look happy. .  . If I were Heat coach Eric Spoelstra I’d be updating my resume. I hear the Bobcats are looking for a coach.

Don’t ask David Stern if the lottery was fixed; you may end up like Jim Rome

This convinces me more that the lottery is fixed.

Justice for Pacquiao?

13 Jun

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) will be reviewing the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley. The split decision by the judges giving Bradley the title has been very controversial. Bradley won 115-113 despite not landing nearly as many punches as Pacquiao.

It is one thing to overly hype fights but it’s another to just plain fix them. The WBO says it doesn’t doubt the judges. I think they just don’t want to look like they are doing nothing. It is merely a public statement to try to appease the public. It’s unlikely they will overturn the decision.

Let the LeBron Jokes Begin

13 Jun

The Miami Heat took on the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday night for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Thunder pulled away from the Heat in the 4th quarter to win, 105-94. This is nothing new for Heat’s LeBron James who made it to the Finals last year only to loose to the Dallas Mavericks.  James has a history of chocking in the 4th quarter. So much so that it inspired a series of jokes. I just thought I would share a few jokes before moving onto game highlights:

1. If you ask LeBron James for change for a dollar, he’ll only give you three quarters in return.

2. Apple has just released the LeBron James iPhone. Only vibrates. No rings.

3. LeBron James skipped college in order to avoid the finals.

4. LeBron James should get married because that’s the only way he will get a ring.

5. LeBron? No I don’t think I know him. Doesn’t have a ring to it.

Oh there are so many more. I love cheesy jokes. Maybe some new ones will arise this year if James doesn’t seal the deal. The match-up of Thunder’s Kevin Durant and James proved what I have always believed Durant should have been MVP. For the Thunder Durant had 36 points and 8 rebounds. Compare that to James’ 30 points and 9 rebounds. More importantly Durant did what James has struggled to do: seal the deal in the 4th. In the 4th Durant ran a fast break dunk and made a 3-pointer that gave the Thunder the lead.
