Well if you can believe Ron Artest he is apparently the newest LA Laker to be after accepting a free agent offer from the Lake Show.  I have to say I really don’t like this move but its entirely for personal reasons.  Artest has proven that when he can keep his head in the game (or stay on his meds depending on who you listen to) that he can be a great player however this last season he also appeared to miss a step in his game defensively and has proven that he can be a chucking liability on the offensive end at times.

That said, this move also has a strange symmetry to Rodman joining the Bulls.  If anybody can reign in Ron Ron and get some production out of him its going to be Phillip the 10th and you just know this move wasn’t made with Kobe’s approval so I guess I will try and look at the positive side and say that he’ll be an upgrade over Ariza…hopefully.

Oh come on did you really think I was not going to say anything?

I just had to post the link to this clip.  This is one of those dumb things that shouldn’t be funny and yet a week after it airs it just keeps getting funnier in my head…

hows that working for ya?

I think these Madden 2010 team ratings are from a spectator at E3… I don’t know if they are legit.  It is great to see the Raiders ahead of the Donkeys!  The player ratings seem to be slowly leaking out here and there.  The Raiders top offensive player… Lorenzo Neal 91… and Garcia (75) is higher than Russell (72)… controversy.  Fargas and McFadden are both 79.

1st Patriots 93
2nd Steelers 92
3rd Giants 89
4th Chargers 88
5th Eagles 88

Check out this link to see a video of the new Madden 10 uniform selection interface.  Pretty cool, it looks like you can mix and match.  I hope the Raiders and other AFL teams will have their 50th anniversary throwbacks.

That my friends is not a mock up, not a photoshop creation, but a picture of the actual PSP Go that will be revealed at E3 next week. Just wanted to throw it up before the announcement on Tuesday.  Stay tuned for specs, and if I’m ambitious maybe I’ll throw up some more E3 announcements next week.  Should be a fun show.

So the annual draft lottery happened tonight and while some would have you believe the excitement is on which time landed the number 1 pick, there are those of us who realize the draft lacks a true impact player this year (what can I say I’m not a fan of Griffin’s game).   So the real excitement comes from…CHAD FORDS FIRST MOCK DRAFT!!!!

Okay thats fake enthusiasm but while browsing Mr. Fords first Mock Draft of the season I noticed something interesting, at pick number 20 to the Utah Jazz…Mr. Tyler Hansbrough.  So what do you think Heel fans?  A good fit for Psycho T?

Oh the mock draft also has Ty Lawson going to the Mavs at 22.  Check out the link for the full first round:

Its the debate of the year, who would you rather have on your team?  Kobe or Lebron?

Well I’ll leave the debate for others because there is no wrong answer.  I however prefer to leave it up to Nike and the genius ad campaign for the Kobe and Lebron puppets:

CHALK

3 Rings

This is one of those rare posts where my words will only make it worse.  A picture is truly worth a thousand words:
