So the National Championship may be over but....

Last night at the Utah Jazz played the Los Angeles Lakers  at the Staples Center, Gordon Hayward  went hard to the cup and slammed it in the face of Pau Gasol and Ron Artest .
I'll admit that this wasn't a hyped Blake Griffin dunk on the difficulty scale, but the circumstances surrounding the play elevate it to “I must email this clip to all my friends” status. First, it was late in the fourth quarter of a tight game that ultimately went down to the wire (the Jazz won on a Hayward steal on Kobe Bryant as time expired). Second, Bryant, the best player in the world something that I hate to admit was guarding him. He went left, used a pick and then went full-speed at the basket and finished with a left-handed jam.

Hayward must have been exacting revenge – or was just plain angry – at all the Butler trashing this week. The former Butler star, with one athletic play, made us forget about Butler’s dreadful performance in the championship game. His box score read 22 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Not a bad night for the ex-Bulldog.  To bad that Bulldogs didn't have much of an effort towards Huskies on Monday night and we already start discussion so to what could have been if Gordon would have stayed in College would the outcome been different? Who knows but for whatever reason this was a pretty good dunk last night and for me its even better because I hate the Lakers.

Another College Add the University of Central Arkansas to the list of schools that are making the move to colorized turf. According to the school via a press release on itswebsite, starting in mid-April, the school will replace the natural grass of First Security Field at Estes Stadium with purple and gray artificial turf.
Initially the announcement was meet with some skepticism considering it was made on April 1^st, April Fools Day, however it is legitimate.

WTF was More exciting than the actual title game

Perhaps you saw – and if you didn’t, consider yourself extremely lucky – but UConn didn’t lose the national championship tonight, 53-41 over Butler. The first half was ugly probably the worst performance since Louisville v.s. Morehead State The second half was almost unbearable. Butler shot 12-64 for the game. 12-64. That’s 18.8 percent. 12-64. 12-64. (Is it starting to sink in yet?) Infact usually in the closing credits with "One Shinning Moment" they usually have more than 3 highlights but do to the poor effort by Butler there was no Highlights worthy enough to be in the "One Shinning Moment" video except the video clip below should have made the cut in my opinion personally.
The game was so mind-numbingly awful, in fact, that one of the highlights was something that had next to nothing to do with actual basketball. With slightly over six minutes to go before the game mercifully ended, a UConn player was knocked to the ground during a fight for the ball.
Someone wasn’t happy about how this transpired, and apparently was close to a microphone. You can hear what this person exclaimed at the four-second mark of the video below. Then, the video’s creator, bubbaprog of Mocksession fame, helpfully slowed down the footage, for an ultra slow-mo view of (and listen to) the accidental curse. Trust us, this was better than the actual game

Mets Get Pranked on Their Own Network With Funny “Family Guy” Clip

Someone at SNY SportsNet New York, the television network owned by the NY Mets, decided to beat the rush and begin dumping on the Mets right out of the gate, starting with their Opening Day broadcast.  Making fun of the Mets on and off field ineptitude is getting to be as easy as making emo teenagers depressed, and just as much fun. Towards the end of the SNY broadcast of the Mets 6-2 season opening loss to the Florida Marlins, an unknown SNY staffer thought it would be hilarious to insert a “Family Guy” soundbyte into the production, one in which evil baby Stewie laments about how much of a letdown it is being a Mets fan.  Only a portion of the audio made it to air, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less funny, especially after you see the clip in its entirety.

Louis Murphy and a little Blue Pill....

Oakland Raiders WR was pulled over early on Sunday morning for playing his music too loud, and, according to police, refused to show his ID. An officer then attempted to handcuff him, and again, according to police, Murphy refused to cooperate.
None of this, however, is the interesting part of the story. What happened then, Gainesville Sun?

Harrison said Murphy consented to a search of his vehicle, where officers found a "non-labeled prescription bottle containing 11 individual pills later identified as Viagra." Murphy could not provide a prescription for it and allegedly told the officer that he had peeled the label off of the bottle "because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for it."

This has to be the funniest story of the year.  This guy probably didn't want anyone to know about his sexual problems, but then to not get it prescribed to your own problems makes this story even better.  Now with the internet jumping all over this the only thing that Louis Murphy has going for him is there is no football right now. 
That's a pretty rough night. A guy gets pulled over for the relatively harmless infraction of loud music, and the story ends with the whole world given an unflattering glimpse of his sex life. Also, they probably took his Viagra.

About the only thing that would be worse for Murphy is if this happened in the middle of one of those four-hour spells you hear so much about.

Pete Rose’s Transformation to Elderly Jewish Grandmother is Almost Complete

Well Baseball is finally upon us and Fans are finally on the field but this Hall of Famer really doesn't look his best in my opinion.  I guess this is the old saying that a picture is priceless.

Great Moments In NFL Draft History: A GM Flips Out On Mel Kiper

     The NFL draft is quickly approaching, which means that it’s Mel Kiper’s time to shine. But as we’ve seen with bracketologist Joe Lunardi, ESPN’s seasonal analysts (you know, the guys who are featured heavily for one month, then disappear for the other eleven?) often stir up the strongest feelings.
Such is the case with Kiper. Recently, Channing Crowder, who was selected in the third round by the Miami Dolphins in 2005, blamed Kiper for his reckless spending as a kid coming out of college. You see, Kiper originally had him rated as a first-rounder, so Crowder spent like one before the draft.
But apparently, Crowder stopped watching ESPN immediately after that, because Kiper soon had his stock slipping. Sure enough, Crowder was drafted in the third round, and he owed the bank some money.
But perhaps the best Kiper-related blowup though was in 1994, when then Colts GM Bill Tobin had some choice words for ESPN’s draft guru. Come for Tobin’s rant against Kiper, stay for a mustachioed Keith Olbermann saying Tobin should “get a life.“   
    This is why I don't like the draft because of nimrods like Mel Kiper and Todd Mcshay because we think people are experts yet in reality no one has a clue on how good a college athlete will transfer into playing NFL football.  No draft experts regardless of the sport have any specific Idea on how an athlete will preform at the next level but I guess like anything else its good drama and good TV, and with Lockout continuing to Loom over are head ESPN and Fox Sports will do whatever they can to squeeze this drama out because their is a chance that their will be no games on Sunday.  Below is a the video to enhance the article above
