Move Out Of The Basement King

I’m having a real hard time seeing the Miami Heat lock down the big three: Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris bosh. Don’t get me wrong. James and Bosh look like a package deal and if they were smart, they’d take a little less to play with Wade. Great weather, no state income tax, a chance to play for Pat Riley, alongside Wade, and win a few rings. It’s a no brainer. But I don’t see it happening. Maybe, I’m not giving James enough credit, but I don’t see this guy wanting to play alongside anyone. Playing alongside Wade and having to join him, in his house isn’t in line with a guy who’s bent on becoming a global icon and a billionaire. Alpha dogs like that don’t gravy train anyone to anything. That’s just not good for his look. And while winning is important, it’s not as important as being the man. At least not to him. He’s not going to Miami. Two alpha dogs like James and Wade can’t co-exist either on or off the floor. That team and that town aren’t... More »

Show Up, Man Up, Throw Up.

Coming up fast on the 4th of July, a day of great celebration and tradition in this country, parades, watermelon, fireworks and freaks ramming dozens and dozens of hot dogs down their esophagus’ in the name of sport. I’m talking about Nathan’s famous July 4th Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. By now you know, weirdoes will do just about anything to get on TV. Look, I like a dog as much as the next guy. And sure, I’ll even pound a second one.

But these kooks knock back more dogs in 12 minutes than I have in the first 45 years of my life. A bunch of gastrointestinal athletes, up on stage, with a mountain of dogs, drowning them in water first and then hovering them. I’m sure our founding fathers would be extremely pleased and proud to know, we celebrate their sacrifice with nationally televised competitive gluttony. And the only thing... More »

Vick's Birthday Party

Mike Vick and his lawyer could have a problem. Vick’s attorney Larry Woodward told the police Vick left at least ten minutes before a shooting took place at his birthday party last week and maybe up to 20 minutes before it happened. But the owner of the restaurant hosting the party says video surveillance shows Vick and his crew leaving just three minutes before it happened.

Putting that all aside for just a moment, how in the world does a guy who has already lost everything, who got a second chance and is playing without a net, even put himself in this position. Why not just invite Roger Goodell to a dogfight this weekend, Mike? And save your emails about how the Cat who was shot wasn’t invited; that he was a party crasher. You can’t crash a public birthday party. It’s public. Considering who he is and what he’s been through, Vick... More »
