Fucking Bum

The Blueshirts were busy today trading away Center Scott Gomez to Montreal for Chris Higgins and two prospects.  I’ll admit, I was as happy as anyone when the Rangers picked up Gomez.  Along with picking up Chris Drury, it actually looked like the Rangers were going somewhere.  However somewhere in the shuffle, it seemed that Gomez lost that fire that he used to have when he torched us playing with New Jersey.  

Somewhere along the line, we have to praise Glen Sather.  Even though he most likely ranks as one of the top ten fuckheads in professional sports, he at least had the decency to pull off a trade to eliminate salary rather than add it for most likely the first time in his career.  Sather stated that he wants to use the money towards a goal scorer.  Now for all we know that could be Dany Heatley, that could be Alexei Kovalev, shit that could even be Anson Carter.  Sather’s done it before, can he do it again?

NYPOST – ANNA Kournikova got into a fight Saturday night in Las Vegas after an unidentified woman threw a drink at the tennis ace. Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table “threw a drink at Anna. She felt Anna was invading her space,” our source said. Kournikova “sprung into action” and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. “It was a big fight,” the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck. Kournikova’s rep didn’t return calls.

I’d like to preface this post with a moment of silence in memory of Anna Kournikova.  Thank you.  Where the fuck has she gone the past few years.  It has been widely documented that she was supposed to be the next big thing in women’s tennis, the sport filled of panty slips, getting stabbed in the back (literally), and these things called grunts which sound alot more like sexual moans.  Kournikova has now slipped into the abyss.  First it was doing music videos with Enrique Inglesias, then it was doing shoots for FHM and Maxim.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a shit about Anna’s playing career but wow has she come a long way.  Now she’s seen in Vegas in the middle of a cat fight.  I wonder what this other hoe looked like.

The Minnesota Clippers

I don’t even know where to begin on this one.  We all know that this particular NBA Draft sucked, it lacked an overall substance.  Sure Blake Griffin is a good player, maybe even All-Star caliber.  But what we are forgetting here is that Griffin would have gone 4th in the 2008 draft after Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, and OJ Mayo.  The team that drafted Griffin, the Los Angeles Clippers finally made their best organizational decision of the best 25 years.  This is the same team that drafted a guy with the last name Olowokandi number one out of Pacific.  Yes, that’s right, Pacific University.  The guy’s nickname was the Kandiman for Christ’s sake.  There was a moment during the #1 selection this year where I honestly thought that the Clippers may have considered trading their pick or drafting another incompetent player.  But, they actually got it right.  The Clippers actually got it right.  All is good, all is swell, The Clippers have finally done something right meaning that the NBA may have just got smarter and now it is a possibility that all these teams are actually managed correctly.  But wow, I was more wrong than Calvin Murphy and all those molested babies.

The Minnesota Timberwolves had to go and mess it up.  After drafting their point guard of the future (Ricky Rubio), they go and draft another point guard (Jonny Flynn)?  And then they have the decency to go out and say that the two of them can play together in the same offense?  No Minnesota, they fucking can’t.  They are two fucking point guards.  This isn’t Thomas and Dumars, or Kidd and Kevin Johnson, fuck this isn’t even Marbury and Francis.  They are two fucking point guards.  Once I thought the Timberwolves could not get any more retarded, they go and draft a guy name Henk with the 47th pick.  Henk Norel, some guy from the Netherlands who looks exactly like Rik Smits.  The only difference is that Smits was actually a good player for some time and Norel, well he’s just Henk.  The Henkman averaged a measly 6.8 points a game in Spain.  How the fuck does that translate to the NBA Minnesota?  I would love to know how your boy Henk is gonna do anything in the NBA. 

Then it got me thinking, “Maybe your wrong Solandog, maybe Rubio and Flynn can play together.  And maybe Henk Norel can produce in the NBA, shit he did play with Rubio in Spain.  Maybe this can all work out.”  While I pondered my thoughts and realized maybe I’m the dumb one in this situation, maybe the Wolves are geniuses.  Maybe Ricky Rubio really wants to play in Minnesota where the Spanish population is in the negative and where he can’t get a burrito or whatever the fuck they eat for 1000 miles.  Once I finally got to my breaking point and figured maybe this can all work, Ricky Rubio – the mop head 125 pound 8th grader that he is stepped out and said that he doesn’t want to play in Minnesota and that if he is not traded he will go back to Spain.  Holy shit Ricky!  Almost as great of a twist as Unbreakable with Willis and Samuel L.  Oh wait, no it’s not because every fucking person in the movie theater knew that Samuel L. was a fucking lunatic in a wheelchair.  Everyone knew.  Just like everyone knew that Ricky Rubio was taking his petite frame away from Minnesota ASAP.  

Rubio Bites Balls Hard - Do You Want This New York?

This 14 year old pre-pubescent spanish skunt is now controlling the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves.  But how can we blame him?  We really can’t.  Who would want to A. Play on a team right after they drafted another player to compete with you when you are supposed to be the golden child and B. Play in Minnesota where the temperature never rises above freezing and where the closest rub and tug is 400 miles away.  God, I know I wouldn’t.  

So enter the New York Knicks, and enter Donnie Walsh a graduate of Fordham Prep – the biggest pussy prep school in the New York area.  The Knicks need a point guard.  They missed out on Rubio and Stephen Curry in the draft and Mike D’Antoni is seriously jacking off at the thought of Rubio running his run & gun offense.  Shit, anything is an improvement over Chris Duhon.  I really hope Donnie Walsh is able to discuss this trade without dying.  I seriously thought he was dead about 7 years ago before he came to the Knicks.  Old bastard.  If I was Donnie I’d contact those retard fucks running the New Clippers and offer them this:

The expiring contract of the biggest alien on Earth, Al Harrington, a first round pick in ’10 and either a couple 2nd rounders or somebody like Duhon who also has an expiring contract for Rubio.  Shit, maybe they can even throw in Henk.

Eric Hinske Playing A-Ball

Post #2

The greatest team in the history of sports made news today as the small, balding, and often incompetent general manager Brian Cashman hooked up with his favorite trading partner/de facto Triple-A farm club, the Pittsburgh Pirates.  

Neal Huntington, the Pirates general manager who should be renamed, “The Guy Who Runs the Worst Baseball Team in the League and Continues to Run Them Straight into the Ground”.  Huntington, a disciple of Mark Shapiro, is coming off a month of where he has dealt his best player (McLouth) for a B prospect (Gorkys Hernandez).  Now he goes and deals Eric Hinske to the Yankees for virtually nobody.

Neither team should have made this trade.  Eric Hinske was a role player on the Rays last year, and with the Red Sox the years prior.  The troll that Brian Cashman is now hopes he can fill the same role with the Yankees.  The Yankees don’t need this guy.  He’s just another non-athletic bum who will make tons of errors at a variety of positions.  

Hinske has often been viewed as a clubhouse guy and should fit well into this new clubhouse that Cashman has cultivated.  However, its just a matter of time til a ball rolls through his wickets at 3rd, or he misplays a ball in right and then that is when Eric Hinske will be hated in New York. Count it.

Look, people make blogs everyday for various reasons.  The stay at home mom who worships her backyard garden may compose a gardening blog, while the retired veteran may start a blog describing his war years.  The problem here is that for all the great blogs that go undiscovered, you get shitty ones like the aforementioned.  

The blog that begins today at this website looks to transcend itself past the level of shittiness.  I one day envision this blog becoming a mixture of ESPN, TMZ, facebook, CNN, Yahoo!, MTV, and Playboy (I would include Twitter, but that would classify me as a douschebag).  This day will probably come by tomorrow, at least in my eyes.

As you can read by the blog name, this is a New York sports blog.  We have the best sports, the most storied history, the greatest fans, and the most drama.  Its a slam dunk of a blog.  But once you add in pop culture, fucking crazy stories, smokeshows, and reader e-mails your blog will just jump to a whole new level.  Thats what I plan to do.

From the first few posts, you’ll probably figure out my sports allegiances.  However, I decided a quick outline can help you get an idea of what the future may entail:

Top 5 Teams

1. New York Yankees

2. New York Giants

3. Chicago Bulls

4. New York Rangers

5. Loyola University Maryland Greyhounds

5 Most Hated

1. Boston Red Sox

2. Dallas Cowboys

3. Philadelphia Eagles

4. New Jersey Devils

5. Any Canadian Team

So there you have it, a little synopsis if you please of my sports allegiance.  Just for the record, I also enjoy scorning those I dislike, finding flaws in people, and embarrassing others. I enjoy all these because it’s fun to do bad thangs.
