1) Stephen A. Smith Leaves ESPN
This is a very sad day for me in that its Stephen A. Smith's last with ESPN. Back on April 17th, Stephen A. announced through his website that he'd be leaving the network as of May 1st (today) and now my grief begins. No more violent arguments with Skip Bayless to look forward to! I'm a broken man right now lol.

I wonder what he's planning to do next?? If I had to guess, I'd stay radio because he often did such a great job filling in for Steve Harvey on his show and also when he was called about the Strawberry Letters. He's also appear on Hardball with Chris Mathews a couple times so maybe the world of politics?? He'd be like the black Keith Olbermann, but possibly even more fiery lol. I'd love to see it. Thanks for all you good years Stephen A.!

2) Al Horford Out For Game 6 vs. Heat
Thank goodness, I was tired of looking at this nigga's face! I don't know if he does or not, but he looks like he's wearing make-up during the games so I'll be happy not to see him on the floor lol. Probably wouldn't matter though because this series was going 7 regardless. The sad part is that there just playing for the right to get swept by the Cavs in round 2 lol.

3) Kobe's Jersey Still #1 Seller In NBA
It was #1 back in January and at the top it shall remain. If you wanna read why I believe its at the top click here. Rounding out the top 5 was Lebron, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, and Allen Iverson.

4) Lions Aren't The Only Ones With New Jerseys: 49ers & Jags Join The Fray
If you're too lazy to click the links inside the link I provied than you can click here to see the Jags' new unis and click here for the Niners'. The new Jags jerses are okay. I think its a downgrade honestly, but I'm loving their new helmets that are either black or green depending on how the light is hitting them. Very gangsta!

The Niners on the other hand have no positives. These new/old unis are terrible! Its 2009 NOT 1989 (I dare you to say the pic at the right doesn't look like its from the 80s)! They went way simple and way wack. This isn't just a downgrade, its an abomination! Honestly, they look like the old AZ Cardinal jerseys. Its just not a good look and now I have a real reason to root against them this season lol.
