1) Wrong Righted: Stern Picks Love To Replace Yao In All-Star Game
This might be the best decision David Stern has made since...uhhh, since...well, maybe ever.

Oh well, good. Now I don't have to keep my fingers crossed that Mark Cuban would forced Dirk to opt out of the game. However, this doesn't forgive the fact that the 32 coaches in the NBA got it wrong by taking Blake Griffin and Tim Duncan over Love, but it's a nice place to start.

2) Sam Bradford Wins Offensive ROY Award
Rightfully so. I think Dez Bryant would've had a good shot if Romo didn't get hurt, and he didn't ultimately end up getting hurt, but there was really no other choice for this one but Bradford.

3) Ndamukong Suh Wins Defensive ROY Award
It would've been a travesty even surpassing Kevin Love's All-Star snub if Ndamukong (aka Chaos N. Suh) didn't win DROY.

4) Gilbert Arenas Served Court Papers At Halftime
No wonder Gilbert Arenas was a virtual no show in that Heat-Magic game Thursday night, the man was served with child support and custody papers as he left the court at halftime. Apparently his BM isn't satisfied with the $20,000 a month she's getting, and want it increased to $100,000. These bitches are crazy!

I guess this is what Gilbert gets for fucking this lousy bitch, but if you and a child can't survive off $20,000 a month, you're basic as fuck. Oh well, you can't blame her, she's just playing the oldest game in the book.

5) Albert Haynesworth Accused In Road Rage Incident
If it's true that Albert punched dude and that's what finally gets him released from the Redskins I bet he's gonna be pissed! No, not because he got released, but because he didn't think to do this sooner.

Random News Shit: NBA Doom & Gloom Edition

1) Orlando Adds Gilbert Arenas, Re-swaps Vince Carter For Hedo Turkoglu
Wow, wow, wow!

Now, before I give my opinion, let's go through all the trades: In the first trade, Orlando got Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark, and Phoenix got Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mikael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick, and cash consideration. The next trade with the Wizards was a straight up swap of Rashard Lewis for Gilbert Arenas.

The biggest winner from all these transactions: the Miami Heat (no Wall or Arenas for the Wizards tonight, plus the new-look Suns Thursday). The biggest losers: Steve Nash (obvious reasons).

Who is Orlando's GM? I don't think he's getting enough flack for trading for Vince, letting Hedo go, and then trading Vince for Hedo a year later. Hedo is due $10,215,850 for this season, Vince is due $17,522,375, so why didn't they just pay Hedo to begin with?? That was essentially a waste of the entire 09-10 season.

And then there's Gilbert Arenas. Can someone please explain to me which of Orlando's problems does he solve? Why not wait and see if Hedo coming back could revive Rashard's career? It's not like teams were beating down Washington's door to take on Gilbert's huge contract and 39% shooting. That trade would've been there in January or February.

I will give Orlando credit for bringing in Jason Richardson though. Can you believe he's only 29?? Seems like he's been around for like 12 years. Regardless, he's shooting 42% from 3 this season, so he's definitely an upgrade over Vince.

2) Yao Ming Done For The Season Again
When I heard this news, I felt horrible for Yao...then I read his comments on the subject:

"I haven't died. Right now I'm drinking a beer and eating fried chicken. What were you expecting, a funeral?"

LMAO! The niggas have finally corrupted Yao! He's still in Houston too, so let's just hope he doesn't get a grill and start sippin' sizzurp.

...On second thought, let's hope he does.

3) Blazers Give Brandon Roy 3 Games Off
They could give Roy 3 years off, and I'm not sure it'd make much of a difference. His knees are gone, and it's just a matter of time before his career is over. Very sad. Somebody get this man a beer and some fried chicken.

4) Joakim Noah Out 8-10 Weeks After Thumb Surgery
Tough break for the Bulls. They have more than enough pieces to get this through this though, so they'll be fine.

5) Rajon Rondo Sidelined 1-2 Weeks With Ankle Injury
Ultimately he's only gonna end up missing about 4 or 5 more games. Boston's next 5 games: Indiana, Philly, @Orlando, @Indiana, and @Detroit. Something tells me they're gonna be fine.

1) Kansas Earns Top Seed In NCAA Tournament
Man, I can't wait to fill out my bracket this week! I hate college sports, but I love March Madness! Go figure.

Anyway, also receiving #1 seeds were Syracuse, Duke, and Kentucky. We'll see if any of these 4 have what it takes to win it all. I got my money on either Kentucky or Kansas.

2) Browns Release Derek Anderson
It seems like just yesterday Derek was leading a Romeo Crennel coached Browns team to a 10-win season. Now that's over. Romeo is gone, Braylon Edwards is gone, Jamal Lewis is gone, and now Derek Anderson is gone.

Arizona or Seattle are the likely landing spots for Anderson seeing their QB situations are almost as bad as anyone else's.

3) Browns Trade Brady Quinn To Broncos
The trade was for FB/RB Peyton Hillis, a 6th round pick in the 2011 draft, and a conditional pick for the 2012 draft. If Quinn beats out Kyle Orton for the starting QB spot and flourishes this will look like a steal, but for right now I guess its a pretty fair trade. I have no idea what the fuck the Browns are doing at QB, but they better get their shit together fast.

4) David Beckham Tears Achilles, To Miss World Cup
Its funny because when this story first broke ESPN said Beckham's playing status for the World Cup was unknown. It was like, "huh?" The man tore his achilles tendon! He didn't strain or stress it, he tore it, there's no way he could possibly play in the World Cup which is just a few months away.

5) Gilbert Arenas Wants To Change To No. 6
LeBron James has started a trend already! Funny, I thought it would be middle and high school players jocking LBJ's new shit, now his peers in the NBA. Kinda sad actually.

(Side note: How awesome would it have been if Arenas changed his number to 9 or 45, you know, like a pistol. That would be too great! He isn't that dumb though...or is he?? lol.)

1) Britney Spears' 3 To 1
Get it, 3 to (2) 1?? Aw fuck it, you're no fun! lol.

Anyway, on tomorrow's Billboard Hot 100 Britney's new single 3 will open up at #1. Its the first song to debut at #1 since Taylor Hicks' "American Idol" victory song Do I Make You Proud (no word yet on why that was ever #1). Congrats to Britney, she's come a long way from 06-07 Britney.

2) Dow Reaches 10,000 For First Time In 2009
Just in case you were wondering, yes this is the most important story BUT I don't have a nice nifty picture for it like I did for the Britney story lol.

Anyway, its nice to see things coming back somewhat. Jobs are still way down, but nobody said this would all happen overnight. I hope it doesn't fall back under tomorrow.

3) Group Trying To Buy Rams Drop Rush Limbaugh
Well its about time. Why wouldn't they do this sooner?? This just goes to show racists are generally dumb people in more ways than one. Fuck Rush, fuck his bid, fuck this group, I hope they fail in buying the Rams anyway. Thank you.

In other racist asshole Rush Limbaugh news, he's gonna be judging the 2010 Miss America pageant so all states sending black representatives please save your airfare and stay home.

4) Before I Self Destruct Pushed Back Again
Fortunately it was only by a week this time so instead of dropping November 17th, it will drop November 23th (the Monday before Thanksgiving). Also dropping that day are allegedly new albums by Timbaland, Rihanna, Lady GaGa, and Birdman.

5) Miles Austin Wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Lets go ahead and add this to the list of things Roy Williams will never do (a couple things already on that list include replacing T.O.'s production and being good).

Anyway, you already know the stat line so no need to repeat it again (*cough* 10 catches, 250 yards, 2 touchdowns *cough*). All I know he this nigga better be in the starting line-up from now on whether Roy Williams is back or not.

6) NBA Fines Gilbert Areanas, Wizards 25K Each
And you wanna know why they fined him and his team?? Because he wouldn't speak to the media! How gay is that?? I mean seriously, what the fuck??? How do you get fined for NOT talking?? All the talking Gillie has done over these past few years (including writing a blog for NBA.com!) now makes him obligated to speak to the media?? Bullshit! Straight bullshit!

7) Man Who Stabbed Ex's Pet Fish Gets 2 Years Probation
What a dumb way to get probation. Idiot.

On another note, this guy didn't get any time for popping up at his ex's house, pushing her against the wall, grabbing her hair, and shoving her against the bathtub, but his assault of some fuckin' fish got him 2 years probation?? Umm, okay. Matter they hadn't heard, but ITS A FUCKIN' FISH!

Arenas Worth More Than Paul??

Both of these brothas got PAID so I'm not mad at either, I'm just asking a question. Is Gilbert Arenas worth more than Chris Paul?? Arenas just signed a new 6-year deal worth $111 million and Paul signed a 4-year extension worth $68 million. Something just looks off about those figures to me. Yeah I know the difference is only about $1.5 million a year, but isn't it just kinda weird that Gillie is making more than CP3?? Oh well I like both of them so its all good, I'm just sayin'.

Welp, hopefully Hibachi can stay healthy this year...hmm, maybe that's why they didn't give him the $127 million deal we heard about earlier?? Oh well, as Gilbert said himself: "What can I do for my family with $127 million that I can't do with $111 million?" lol.

Young Jeezy Saved Hibatchi's Life!

Yeah I know, shocking AND provocative lol. Anyway, this is Gilbert Arenas wrote in his blog yesterday about his suicidal thoughts being removed by the inspirational words of Jeezy:

It was just me and my car … speeding -- something that I shouldn’t be doing. Then I got that thought that I know everybody gets once in a while, I was like, “You know, what if I just ran my car into this pole right here?” I don’t know why I thought that, but I kept going with it. “Then I can jump off the road into this lake and just swim … or drown. Whichever one comes first.” It was really devastating. I was thinking, “Mannn, again?!” But I listened to Young Jeezy’s verse in “They Know” to get me past those bad thoughts … plus, I’m sane. I’m a sane person, I wouldn’t do that to myself.

All I wanna know is was Shawty Lo's verse before Jeezy's the REAL reason he wanted to drive into the pole?? I mean that shit was that bad lol. If so I'd hate to hear what Gillie would've done if he got to that ear-wrenching Lil Wayne verse lol.

Seriously though, what in the hell was in Jeezy's verse that made it seem like life was again worth living?? I admit it was a good verse, but damn it wasn't life changing or anything lol. You know what your problem is Gilbert?? You play too damn much lol.
