1) Terrell Suggs, Ravens Agree on $63M Deal
And with that deal inked, the Ravens have just made T-Sizzle the highest paid linebacker in NFL history. His signing bonus of $33.1 million is second only to Peyton Manning who got $34 million. This deal may be a bit much, but its hard to say the guy isn't worth it.
2) Chiefs Lock Up Matt Cassel For $63M
It seems like $63 million is the magic number for NFL deals this week lol. Anyway, the Kansas City Chiefs have officially put their future in the hands of Matt Cassel by giving him $63 million over 6 years to be their quarterback. We'll see if he's worth it once the season starts, but something tells me he was more a product of New England's system (like Tom Brady) than an actual great QB. I think the Chiefs will regret this in a few years.
BUT the positive is that if Cassel succeeds in that lesser system in Kansas City, then maybe it'll legitimize Tom Brady who is the ultimate product of a great system lol.
3) Lakers Pull $27M/3-Yr Deal For Odom
Good because they KNOW they're gonna have to do much better than that to keep Lamar in purple and gold. The $9 million a year figure looks about right, but only 3 years?? The guy is only 29 and didn't even start putting real effort forward in his career until a few years ago, I think he has more in the tank than 3 years. Well, unless they know something we don't know about his health and love of candy.
This is DEFINITELY worth watching. Trust me lol.
Part 2 and a lil commentary from me after the jump.
LMAO@ DJ Mbenga's face.
LMAO@ Kobe initially not knowing DJ Mbenga's name.
LMAO@ Adam Morrison being there.
LMAO@ Adam Morrison being high while being there.
Good stuff! Oh, and did you hear the breaking news?? Kobe said Lamar Odom is staying in L.A. next season. That's probably true though because as Bill Simmons often reminds his readers, in an interview Odom said he doesn't want to NOT live on the beach so that means he's either gonna play for the Lakers, Clippers, or Heat seeing they are the only teams that play on the beach. Sadly, Trevor Ariza is probably that one that's gonna be gone because I don't know if the Lakers can afford to keep him and Lamar.
This could be the reason behind Odom's up and down play. If he ate regular maybe he would've lived up to his potential!
...Fuck! I'm jealous! Damn you Lamar Odom for living my dream of eating nothing but junk food! lol.
The Lakers end yet another streak as they give the Cleveland Cavs (39-10) their first home loss of the season after 23 straight wins. Guess what player in this game made the biggest difference?? Not Kobe, not LeBron, but Lamar Odom! If you asked me how much Lamar Odom would finish with before the game started, I probably would've said under 10, but today he scored a season-high 28 and pulled down a season-high 17 boards. The Lakers (41-9) will need more performances like that if they wanna get back to the Finals.
The other big story in this game was that now L.A. has homecourt advantage in the case of them reaching the Finals again and playing either Boston or Cleveland since they swept both season series. That's huge! Especially for Cleveland seeing they are an unimpressive 16-9 on the road this year.

In 12 weeks it'll be the end of April and the playoffs will be under way BUT remember he was supposed to be back during the playoffs last year and never came back. Looks like deja vu to me. This one is on you Kobe so you need to hit 40 a night from here out to make up for it lol. This is the kinda stuff Kobe thrives on though so we'll see.
SOURCE
Great fuckin' game! In the end Kobe deferred to Pau Gasol and it worked out the right way this time. With this 92-83 victory the Lakers end the Celtics' 19 game win streak and drop them to 27-3. Finals preview?? You damn right!
This game just made my Christmas because today was boring as fuck! Christmas is a lot more boring than I remember. I need to make some kids or something nigga. Ladies, holla at me if you wanna lend me an egg ;-) lol.
Welp tonight is game 2, how ya got?? I got L.A. because I don't think they'll let Boston take both games in Boston. Kobe knows that can't happen...then again I guess it can because the Heat did in '06 and still won lol. Anyway, yeah I got my money on the Lakers.
Check out this kool commercial I just saw on YouTube. They need to start running this on TV!
What a game! I was hyped off this game 1 like it was a game 7 lol. If for some reason you weren't watching the final score was Boston 98-88. I predicted Boston would win the 1st game with the Lakers ultimately winning in 6 on the phone earlier, but I don't know now. I'm just lost with this series as a whole because K.G. has been my favorite player since Jordan retired the 2nd time, but I'm not too big on the Celtics and at the same time I love Kobe and the Lakers. I just don't know who I want to win, but this has been a great series so far just off this one game.
How ill was it when Paul Pierce came back to the game and you saw the crowd all standing like they were doing the wave and shit lol. Then Pierce goes right to work and busts two 3's back to back!
And how about that put-back dunk Garnett had late in the 4th?? That shit was sick! Oh yeah and that alley oop from Fisher to Kobe mid-way through the 3rd?? Can't forget the 4-point play Pierce had at the beginning of the 3rd. Man, this was just a great game! I can't wait until game 2 Sunday, I'm out!
With there win tonight the Celtics make it back to the Finals for the first time since 1987! I fuckin' 2 years-old son! lol. Its crazy how things work out because remember how heart broken they were after they didn't get the #1 pick and the chance to draft Greg Oden last year?? Well if they had they wouldn't have been able to trade for Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett...oh and not to mention that Greg Oden didn't play one game this season. Yep, its funny how those things work lol.
Now, I don't wanna say I told you so...but I kinda did...well if you got Facebook and saw my bracket lol. On that bracket I had Boston beating L.A. in 6 games considering they were the best team in the league and they are 8-2 against the Lakers in the Finals BUT I don't know about that pick anymore. Whatever, lets just hope they don't break out the booty shorts again lol.
Anyway, the Finals start this Thursday June 5th and somewhere all ABC execs are thanking the Lord they didn't have to try to promote another Spurs/Pistons series lol.
If you thought Kobe jumping over a car was ill check this out! All real, no CG effects this time...kinda lol.
Its about damn time! I can't believe it took this long for Kobe to win ONE, especially with the way he's been dominating the past few seasons. Then again, the NBA MVP Award is bullshit, I mean just think of how dominate Shaq was and then think he's only won it ONCE lol.
Anyway, L.A. Times is reporting this so you have to take this with a grain of salt after that whole false ass 2Pac/Diddy story back in February lol.

This shit is crazy! I know this has nothing to do with the video, but Kobe BETTER win MVP...enjoy:
And this is why there has been no white American superstars in the NBA since Larry Bird lol. This does kinda make me pissed he only did the dunk contest once. I think he was fuckin' Brandy back then but damn he wife is SOOOO damn fine!
Okay, who the hell idea was it to play in these little ass plum smugglers??? You know it was some fruit sitting around in the meeting like 'it'd be cool if the guys wore short shorts tonight' lol. This shit is crazy, but luckily they found the rest of their pants at halftime lol. I like the Lakers and all, but if I see this shit again I just might have to reconsider lol.
