Sour Apple

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Apple is getting desperate now with the company slashing prices for its iPhone and Macbook models in an obvious effort to gain more market share.

Nice try but they'll never overtake any of their major competitors in either industry. They should just to stick to iPods.

Suns vs. Nuggets on Jimmy Kimmel

Chris Andersen & Dahntay Jones of the Denver Nuggets face off against Grant Hill & Amare Stoudemire of the Phoenix Suns in "The Team Mating Game" on Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night.




Hilarious stuff.

Act a fool

I was out cold last night. I don't remember shit. I dunno how I got to my room. I even left the living room lights and television on. I think I sleepwalked myself to bed.

When I woke up, I was like, "WTF just happened?"

All these and I wasn't even remotely close to being drunk. Didn't even have anything to drink!

I blame exhaustion.

Another US lawmaker with messed up priorities

One US congressman is questioning the NBA's age limit rule. According to the league's collective bargaining agreement with the players' association, an American citizen wishing to join the draft must be at least 19 years old and one year removed from his high school class.

The congressman is concerned over the rule on the basis of age discrimination. Did he even bother looking at his own backyard? Last I checked, the US Congress has it's own minimum age rule (25 years old).

Someone tell this scrub to clean out his backyard first. Better yet, he should move on to more urgent and important matters like tackling recession.

Delusional denial

The wife of the lone Filipino passenger aboard the Air France flight that recently crashed into the Atlantic Ocean believes that her husband is still alive. She remains positive despite the authorities are saying it's highly unlikely that anyone could've survived.

I don't mean to ridicule her misery but this is just plain dumb. Ignoring the facts will just prolong her agony. Acceptance is the key.

Channeling Mamba

I'm still way too exhausted. But I'm still fuckin' elated.

I killed on the court last night, scoring from a variety of ways and hitting shots from everywhere. More importantly, I led my team to three tough race-to-forty wins, nailing the gamewinner in one.

Still floatin' on hoops nirvana.

Air France Flight 447

I'm still puzzled how an airplane as big as an Airbus A330 can just vanish without much of a trace. Sometimes even the most modern of technology seems rather useless. Took a page right our of the Bermuda Triangle chronicles.

Damn weather

What the fuck is up with the weather? It's been raining hard nonstop since Sunday and this has basically done nothing but mess up my plans.

Not a good look at all.

Missing ink action

My freakin' tattoo artist flaked out on me last night. Dude wasn't answering his phone to reconfirm my appointment. I swear he always does this shit. Hell yeah, I'm pissed.

What an ass.

Unbecoming of a King

Lebron James stormed off the Amway Arena after the blowout loss his team suffered against the Orlando Magic. He never bothered to shake hands, congratulate or even acknowledge any of the Magic players.

After all the showboating during the 4-0 sweeps over Detroit and Atlanta, the King suddenly disappears in front of a worldwide audience. No handshakes, no hugs, no words.

Humble in victory, gracious in defeat. Lebron James has none of that.

That's just one of the many reasons he'll never be like Mike.

Witness weakness

Fuck the fix.

Orlando it is.

Lebron had his witnesses. But Dwight got the verdict.

Battling the fix

David Stern just got his first wish as Kobe and the Lakers are through to the Finals. Now it's up to Orlando to fight the fix and close out Lebron and the Cavaliers in Game 6 later.

It'll be tough because everyone knows the calls are all going to be for the King despite being on the road. But if Orlando waxes hot and they keep making their shots, Stern and company can't do jack about it.

I hope the Magic finish this one in blowout fashion so they can stick all the refs' whistles up David Stern's ass.

Sunday morning hoops

Went 4-1 in tough scrimmages last night. It got my body a little banged up with a couple of bruises here and there but I'm all good though. Ready to hit the courts again in a bit for an early morning runout. Game time is at 8am. Too bad I'll miss much of Game 6 of the Cleveland-Orlando series. I hope I get back in time to see the Magic finish off the Cavaliers.

Wanting Kobe 4 whiteouts

I am so tempted to cop my first ever Kobe sneaker. I've never had any of his sigs and I still intend on keeping it that way. So help me God.

The fix is still on

David Stern can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for another day. His dream for a Kobe-Lebron championship series is still alive.

The Orlando Magic had their chances in Game 5 but ultimately fumbled in the fourth quarter. As expected, it didn't help the Magic's cause that the refs were riding the King's jock again.

The fix was a bit more obvious in Game 5 of the Denver-LA series as all 50-50 calls in the fourth quarter went the Lakers' way. Still, Denver had their opportunities too, but they played terrible basketball in the final period. Chauncey Billups was totally out-of-sync. He looked like a rookie with all the stupid turnovers and poor decisions.

I hope the Nuggets get their act together and win Game 6 tomorrow at the Pepsi Center then hopefully squeak past the NBA fix for Game 7 in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Orlando has a real solid chance of closing Cleveland out at home on Sunday.

Count me in as one of the few who don't want to see a Mamba-King duel in the Finals. I can just imagine how much of a slurpfest that would be.

Barca wins lackluster Champions League Final

What an anticlimactic end to an otherwise superb season of European football. Too bad the English champions failed to show up tonight. Props to Barcelona for getting the job done.

On a different note, what the fuck is up with United's all-white kit?! They looked like Real Madrid. They played like Real Madrid. They lost like Real Madrid. SMH.

Roma 2009: The Dream Final

The most anticipated game in world club football kicks off in less than an hour. Fittingly, it pits arguably the two best clubs this season.

My take? United wins, 1-0, in regulation.

Stern Warning

The NBA should have an ambulance and a med-evac chopper ready at the Staples Center for Game 5. With Orlando winning today, a Denver victory tomorrow just might lead to a David Stern heart attack.

I can already imagine the Amway Arena and Pepsi Center crowds going wild.

Stern in trouble

I think it was fairly obvious to the whole world that David Stern and his army of imbecile refs tried to win Game 4 for Lebron James and company. Too bad the Magic didn't get the memo and kept hitting their threes at an amazing rate, closing out Cleveland in overtime.

Besides, how can you rig the game if Lebron kept turning the ball over without contact? The zebras can't blow his horn their whistles then.

I expect the NBA to go all out and make sure this series reaches Game 7. I just hope Orlando can keep shooting the lights out so Stern can bid his dream finals goodbye.

Until then though, brace yourselves for more bullshit calls in favor of the one they call King.

The Birdman takes flight

In case you missed it, this was the ESPN special on Denver's Chris Andersen as shown during halftime of the Western Conference Finals Game 4 between the Lakers and Nuggets yesterday.



"What statement did you want to make?"

"Look at me now."
