Mr. Owens doesn't need another team...he needs a shrink!
As a diehard Bear fan & a drama-queen loving scribe, I wanted Plax the day a loaded gun went-off in his Zubaz & still pray Anquan will be yelling at one of our coaches on the sideline next year. But news the aging, drop-happy, cry-baby was released, even the cynical bones in my rapidly expanding body didn't want to see TO in Chi-Town. I know the few Owens backers will say he's still a threat, but honestly, I believe he's the most overrated WR in the game at this point in his career.
Unlike TO, her performance in underwear is underrated!
Another step slower & still dealing with some hand injuries, the prima donna needs a star-QB, additional receiving weapons to keep him single-covered, and an entrenched head coach with total control of the organization...I know, it sounds too obvious, but it just seems to be the only logical option. Moss, Welker, & Owens...Mr. Bunchden's knee suddenly feels even better! Especially considering Terrell can probably be had for cheap, not to mention the money the Pats saved on their last trade (as I discussed with sexy vigor earlier this week), for once, the NFL experts might have something right!
THE FRIDAY NIGHT NBA ATS SPECTACULAR!
Hold on tight Homeboys & girls, tonight's tilt should be wild!
Considering Bron had no trouble when KG was in the paint, I'm guessing he has a field day with Big Baby in his place!
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (+2) @ BOSTON CELTICS
Even though both Championship contenders will be missing a defensive enforcer underneath, let's just say KG is more Megan Fox while Big Ben is more Megan Cougar...and that's "Cougar" as in sexy cause ur in a dive bar & she's confidently wearing a thong, chuggin' a Bud Select, & refusing to show you her Driver's License. And that's not even counting how much they miss Garnett's offensive production, or how the Brazilian Side-Show Bob is twice the replacement of Big Fat Baby!
Unlike this outfit, the Celts haven't looked as sharp lately
While Boston looked solid early as they played their "We can win without our superstar"-card, they've look extremely tired of late and have struggled against some pretty lousy competition (Clippers, Pacers, & Nets), not to mention they were easily handled by the Pistons in Beantown last weekend. On the Cavs side, they have taken control of home-court in the East and will definitely be looking to keep the momentum rolling like Kirsty Alley down a hill!
While Paulie's always found creative ways to get to the cup, the Cavs are ready to handle his sneaky ways!
Throw-in the King James unguardable-factor against the oddly-shaped Paulie...and the "We have a true playoff-helper (Joe Smith) and you have Mikki Moore & the Artist Formerly known as Starbury"-thing, and I expect the Cavs to dominate tonight. I could go on, but considering I probably would have taken Bron-Bron to win straight-up if KG was playing, trust me Homeboys...CLEVELAND ROLLS WITH EASE
And you gotta luv that this game is on ESPN tonight...
...so sit back, relax, & enjoy the free money from Greggy G!
HORIZON, MISSOURI VALLEY, & IVY LEAGUE SPECIAL
Just like these two at the pool, the collegiate roundball action gets even more passionate when March rolls around!
...or if you just want more gratuitous photos...TOUCH ME HERE
I'm not sure because the sun is in my eyes, but I think she has a flame-tattoo on her...that has to be a sign!
UIC FLAMES (+5) vs CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS
The Flames have some bruising-size, while State's best option is a post player standing 6-5. In addition, while UIC struggled at mid-season with injuries and a lack of confidence, they've gotten healthy, won five straight, and have arguable the best player in the conference in Sr. G Josh Mayo (17 ppg, 39-3pt%)...FLAMES WIN A BUZZER BEATER!
ISU's leading scorer is a transfer from Oregon. So if you combine Duck yellow n green...this must be another sign!
EVANSVILLE ACES @ ILLINOIS ST. REDBIRDS (-4)
After dominating the majority of the season (22-5), the wheels have fallen off this talented Redbirds squad as they've lost three straight. But honestly, this team is too solid to let a mediocre Aces squad keep things close now that it really matters...The veteran Redbirds will come out aggressive, and once they grab a lead, take out their frustrations now that tourney time is here...ISU BY 8-14 POINTS
BTW, what's the opposite of the smart kids from the Ivy League...the plastic implantie chick from Laguana Beach!
PENN SMART KIDS @ CORNELL SMART KIDS (-14)
Unlike every other conference, the Ivy League doesn't have a season ending tournament and the regular season conference champ gets the automatic Big Dance bid. And this season, just like last year, Cornell is absolutely loaded with talent & size...and seemed all set to clinch last weekend. But playing their fourth straight on the road, they took things a little light and lost at the last second to Harvard...which means they had all week to ready themselves for a Tourney Bid clincher at home against the lowly ballers from Penn (9-16)...CORNELL by 20-25 PTS
