So if the Knicks beating the Heat was a 'statement' game...how do you classify Cleveland's win Magic?
I love how you can only make 'statement games' against the Heat too. Not against other teams. It is comical. Even though some of the 'other teams' have won chips. RECENTLY. It would be different too if you guys didn't REMIND US OF THAT FACT every five minutes. So one minute that counts and the next it doesn't. all because you won't LET GO of how 'The Decision' was made....Comical. Ya'll skirts ARE REALLY SHOWING. @ hating the man who has essentially done nothing to you. Miss me with the 'people of Cleveland' shit too. You care as much about the people of Cleveland if you aren't from there as you do about that little boy without water in the Sudan. You 'care' but you aren't gonna do shit so it is a mute point...Stop bringing it up....
Let me let it be known that I respect THEE SHIT OUTTA MAGIC so you won't hear any 'jokes' about him being old, outta touch or having AIDS. That doesn't have much to do with this statement truthfully. I am attacking the 'statement'. I hate that I HAVE TO SAY THAT but I see now reading comprehension, even for the well spoken, is something that goes by the wayside when you 'DON'T AGREE WITH THEM'. I learned that yesterday...(More on that COMING RIGHT UP...) I just think this statement is not a fair one to make ESPECIALLY since
A. It has only been three games.
B. The NBA season is so long and even though we are almost in its stretch run it isn't done. All I hear about are 'The Playoffs are different..the Playoffs are different....'. Stand by that then. This is THE REGULAR SEASON. Don't flip flop when a team you feel is overhyped loses but when your beloved team loses start pointing to 'Chips from last year' or 'title games'. Need I remind you, after Detroit had their 'run', that last year 'we' (you) kept waiting for them to 'turn it on', use that experience of being in the chip game & ignored glaring losses and weaknesses too. All in the name of 'they are the champs'. Houston was a TWO TIME CHAMP. What happened? Oh....
C. The Knicks neither knocked the Heat out of the playoffs nor did the 'win a chip'. This last one isn't as much for Magic as it is the Knicks fans all over my TL last night. Throwing confetti on it like they just won game 7. It was one game. After that Cleveland loss, ya'll were ready to throw your jerseys in the Hudson. though...I digress....

While I am addressing fans in my timeline, what is all this 'bandwagon' talk? Ya'll are KILLING ME. Or all of this 'if you are a fan of the game' you are a bandwagoner shit? Most of you have NEVER played it on ANY LEVEL so to half jokingly take that shot is pretty ballsy. It would be akin to me talking about beauty products and makeup. Yeah I know what I don't like to see but that doesn't make me 'qualified' to talk about it 'cause truthfully I don't know SHIT ABOUT IT other than I see it. That is you on this basketball thing. You might know that the team that scores the most points wins, that they actually use quarters instead of halves like in college (Maybe you didn't know that..) and a few of the rules but judging by the 'rest of your regurgitated answers' you don't know 'dick about the game'. Now someone is going to read this last paragraph and assume I am talking about woman. @ the innuendo. You'd be correct EXCEPT that there are a couple of dudes who speak on it who I can tell don't know anything either other than from watching. I will readily admit that the majority of the TRULY OUTLANDISH statements come from women though. I will also READILY ADMIT (and enjoy that it is is the case) that I HAVE SOME OUTSTANDING WOMAN IN MY TIMELINE WHO DO KNOW THEIR SPORTS, know all the rules and understand how THE WHOLE PROCESS WORKS. Not into because the #8 is cute or because #11 grew up in their neighborhood. Or because 'The Decision' was on TV and because it what everybody is talking about in a 'hateful way' so they just plopped themselves on the 'wagon' 'cause they are DOWN TO HATE AIR. Got a couple of dudes guilty of this too. I thought you didn't watch pro basketball B? What happened? Oh you only watch those select few games to formulate an opinion with 'fact' without taking the whole body of work into consideration? Oh...My bad..As you were....
They lost the game. I still feel Mike Miller, who was bought there to take the shots when the defense absolutely IS SMOTHERING THE BIG 2.95 (I won't totally discredit Bosh 'cause had he hit just three shots, they woulda beat Chi. He didn't & they didn't. His importance was seen in that game and when he was hurt so...) should be taking those shots. He is 6'8 and had a 6'3 Billups on him. Get him the ball. Period. He could be the Kerr (Kerr did it for SAN ANTONIO & CHICAGO so pump your brakes at you ASSUMING I am calling The Heat...the Bulls) Oh well. They didn't. Chauncey played big. Steal. Big shot. Game. Can't argue with that. I actually CALLED Chauncey going to the Knicks in this trade and people thought I was a bit silly. So I am neither surprised or shocked he is there or that he hit that shot. He does that. Will he be enough come playoff time though? That is the question. 'Cause Melo is gonna score and if Amare can stay in a game, he will do what he does.....(Notice, I haven't written SHIT about this trade since it happened here. I let ya'll have all of that....) Lets see if they can make noise in THE PLAYOFFS before we start crowning 'em though aight? It was ONE GAME. Yeesh...Hats off to 'em though...
I know that Gilbert Arenas was 'sulking'....Probably gonna come off the bench..

I know who won't be sitting. JASON RICHARDSON. I only have one question. When D. Howard gets in foul trouble, WHO IS GONNA PLAY CENTER? 'Cause Gortat is gone...Understood getting rid of Carter and Rashard but JJ is STILL their best shooter. What is gonna happen with his minutes? Hedo is probably their best playmaker at this point so how is HE GONNA GET ON THE FLOOR? We are about to find out if Stan can coach, that's for sure. Hey Q Rich, you hear that? That is the sound of your minutes going BYE BYE..
Again, understand that some of them had to GO. Now just wondering (Really playing Devil's Advocate.) how it is all gonna work. Somehow, I don't see Gil playing 'Jason Terry' for this team or "Jamal Crawford', UNLESS JAMEER isn't on the floor at the end of the game. 'Cause again, JASON RICHARDSON should not be on the bench. You bought back Turk to recreate that mismatch at the 3 so he is gonna be on the floor and Gilbert can be 'Wadelike' when he is COOKING which is what you wanted from Vince but he either cannot provide anymore or felt like it wasn't his place. Should be interesting...
Flipside is Phoenix. Do you trade Nash now and say 'Fuck it?"
I'm John Wall and I do a fist pump and then realize, 'Shit, now I am REALLY GONNA GET DOUBLED...' Rashard, you gonna earn that contract homie?

I go on vacation and all hell breaks loose. McNabb,
April 06, 2010Donovan McNabb, Football., Philadelphia Eagles, trade, Washington Redskins

Didn't see the need to 'announce' that I went BEFORE I ACTUALLY DID. My life is boring in that aspect so....
Okay, so you all know that D. McNabb got shipped down the turnpike to the Washington Redskins. I ,like you, was initially VERY SHOCKED that he was sent to a rival. It baffled the shit outta me honestly. Now that I have had time to think on it, it might not be such a HORRIBLE move.
There was only so much they were going to get for him and they DID get what they asked for. Playing him twice guaranteed sounds really 'interesting' but even if they sent him to the AFC, he still could have 'came back' and beat them in some sort of scenario anyway. So even doing that didn't guarantee they would not have to face McNabb again. I also had to remember that Donovan had some control over this issue. Meaning, it wasn't a 'shocker' to him. We have since found this out to be true because last week, right around the time of McNabb's "I just want the situation resolved' statement, he spoke to Dan Snyder. It was an weirdly worded statement THEN but I had no idea it meant THIS.
As far as Kevin Kolb is concerned, I am not all that convinced he is the 'answer'. Two games is not enough for me but hey, I don't run the Eagles nor am I am fan. We are about to find out though. With the 'person that is to blame for all of the failures in Philly for the last 11 years' gone, who are the fans/critics alike going to blame now? You can sarcastically continue to blame him but HE IS NO LONGER AROUND. I hope you guys (Eagles fans) that wanted him gone are patient. (Chuckles) Then again, ya'll the same mofos who threw batteries in snowballs.....
So now, Mick Vick is a 'reasonably' paid backup. Interesting. So when he gets 'vocal' about his role, he will be called all types of wrong due to the fact that he was 'allowed' back in the League. All because he will want to do what Kevin Kolb has expressed in these interviews the past couple of days. He wants to play and start. As he should. I am hoping he becomes the pain Donovan should have become when he wasn't getting the things he needed and they HAVE TO TRADE HIM. Of course, he might not be able to afford to do that but I am sincerely hoping so.
I also feel bad for Jason Campbell. I hope that the 'Skins let him go so maybe he could see some stability in another situation. The way that Jason found out was CLASSLESS. Even if you don't like your current quarterback, you should have the nuts to call him and tell him or his agent. I don't wanna hear that 'We didn't know it would turn out and it was a last minute thing....' shit either. Even if the 'Skins didn't think they had a shot at him, just letting him know they threw their hat in the ring on some level would have avoided that. Again, when he acts an ass (if he does), don't look for me to feel some kinda way about it. I won't blame him.
Again, Donovan is not the first Pro Bowl quarterback to part ways with their 'primary' team and have had to move on (McNair, Montana, Garcia,Cunningham,etc) so that is not the REAL ISSUE for most on the outside of 'Eagle World' (Fans included) It is the way things were blamed on him to me. He was not faultless. He wasn't 'the issue' to me though. He didn't play defense. He didn't fail to draft a Fullback. Try to convert Dan Klecko to FB. Draft a bunch of damm receivers that sucked or a bunch of bust lineman on both sides of the ball. Make Mike Mamula a high draft pick. You get the picture. You ALSO KNOW WHO DID THOSE THINGS. Lets see if he gets blamed if they don't win the chip.*
*Yes, he did draft Deshean Jackson, Shady McCoy, Brian Westbrook, Brent Celeck and some others. Still doesn't mean those other wasted picks didn't happen or should have happened.
