So I’m chilling here with a basketball game going on in the background. Suns vs. Celtics, not paying too much attention. After the game ends, I glance up and notice there is another basketball game going on. The McDonald’s All-American game. As I glance I see a high fade that rivals Kid from Kid N’ Play and I think, “Wait, I’m not on ESPN Classic am I? Is this the 1987 McDonald’s All-American game?”



I press info, it says 2008. I look at the other players, it is definitely 2008. But some dude is rocking a straight up, old-school high fade. Lucky for you, I had the presence of mind to snap a shot with MiPhone so that you may all bask in its glory.



Enjoy.

I’m all for super talented human beings, but if I am in the NFL, I am pretty content with where I have gone with my life. Then, you have Tony Gonzalez. Remember a few years ago when he wanted to become a professional basketball player, but for fear of injury, he “decided” to forgo his attempts. Now, Tony has decided to dip his feet into the Hollywood realm. Here’s a clip of him as a pilot. I smell Oscar! (Or is it Emmy?) Whatever.

These kinds of stories scare me more than terrorists, nuclear bombs, and Robin Williams.

From Asylum:

Thomas Beatie was born female, but he has since changed his sex — removing his breasts, taking regular testosterone injections and legally registering as a man.

However, Beatie apparently didn’t remove everything from his former life. He recently told The Advocate magazine that he has become pregnant, conceiving from a sperm donor because his wife Nancy is unable to conceive.

I’ve never been a fan of David Stern. I thought the introduction of the new basketball was stupid, and not allowing adults who have just graduated from college is absurd (and the excuses laymen make such as “kids out of high school need development in college” is almost equally as absurd.

Now, Stern is thinking of raising the minimum age from 19 years old to 20. I’m not going to use the “people can go to war but not get a job” card, I’m just going to Stern a communist who likes to fix things that aren’t broken. For some reason, Stern gets all the credit for what the league is today, but I believe it is the actual talent in the league that has it so high, as opposed to the marketing of the talent. Either way, Stern is a boner.

Blurb:

“Will the NBA attempt to push back the minimum age to 20 [from 19] when the collective-bargaining agreement expires in 2011? —Kirk Henderson, Washington

Yes, we will. We think [raising the entry age to 19] has been very constructive.”

I only post this video of Greg Oden to rant on how lame it is. I truly hope this footage is taken by amateur fans, but if this is the paparazzi that is following Oden, then I am not about to like where professional sports in America is going.

If you aren’t very familiar with Google Maps (Street View), you need to jump on the wagon immediately. I’ve often heard stories of people seen picking up hookers and doing other random illegal activities on it, but for the first time, I have seen it!
