Scottie Pippen Isn’t The Sharpest Bulb In The Drawer
Posted by: | Comments
He also isn’t the brightest knife on the tree, but that’s a different story altogether.
Scottie Pippen has been many things during his time in the public spotlight: top-notch sidekick to MJ, notoriously horseshit tipper, one-man economic recession, among others. Now he can add “complete moron” to the list.
In a recent interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Pippen said he doesn’t know if it would be a good idea for the Chicago Bulls to go after LeBron James if James were to become available because he doesn’t want it to screw up Derrick Rose’s game. Say what?
Via the Chicago Tribune:
“I’m going to probably go after the best player in the game and that’s going to be LeBron James,” Pippen said. “But I don’t know if LeBron James fits with the Chicago Bulls. I don’t know if I want Derrick Rose to give the ball up and let LeBron run the show.
Yeah, Derrick Rose or LeBron James…that’s a tough one.
But Pippen defends his opinion by claiming that chemistry is important.
“There are some great free agents out there. For me, you have to have the right fit. You just can’t go and get the best player. You got to have chemistry in this game.”
I am no great basketball mind by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m pretty sure that if you were to ask every general manager in the NBA if they would take LeBron James on their team if it somehow could work out, no matter the cost, I’m fairly confident every single one of them would say “hell yes.”
But not Scottie. He’s none too bright, that guy. At least he has his looks to fall back on.

Bad News, Cowboys Fans: Jessica Simpson Insists She And Tony Romo Are Still Pals
Posted by: | Comments
If Cowboys fans thought for one second that they had heard the last of Jessica Simpson, they best think again. In an interview with Allure magazine, Jessica claims that her and Tony (pictured above, in happier times) still talk and she remains the most untalented, pseudo-famous fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
“I’m still a fan. I’m a huge fan. I wear my gear, and I cheer Tony on. You know, I talked to Tony today. None of my breakups, none of it’s been bitter.”
Thank God! If they were not still in contact with each other, there would be little chance that Jessica would walk back into Tony’s love life and once again be his little, half-witted, big-titted, special someone. Without that, she could never be the catalyst for Romo’s quarterback play to revert back into the clusterfuck of a disaster it was when they were dating. This means there is still hope, Cowboys haters, and we can all be thankful for that.
As an aside, here are a few of the photos from Simpson’s Allure photo shoot. Not too shabby. The girl appears to have cleaned herself up nicely. Still dumb as a box of rocks, but looking good.
I know what you’re thinking, what do these photos have to do with sports? Sure, technically they are not sports-related, but if some photos can cause you to sport wood, that’s pretty close, right?

Let’s Play ‘Fire Joe Morgan’ With Jason Whitlock’s Most Recent Column, Shall We?
Posted by: | Comments
I have done this previously with Whitlock columns but haven’t in quite a while, but after reading his column published Thursday, “Here’s the truth behind the Tiger Woods scandal,” I thought now was as good a time to bring it back as ever.
You would have to be pretty gullible to believe that this wasn’t one of Whitlock’s patented “Let’s throw a bunch of shit against a wall, see what sticks, whip everyone up into a frenzy and then gleefully relish in how everybody has a complete and total meltdown about it” routines.
Therefore, instead of me gnashing my teeth and playing right into Whitlock’s portly hands, let’s just FJM this bad boy, how does that sound?
By now, everybody has heard about Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins’ appearance on Jay Leno’s show and how Rollins made a prediction regarding the outcome of the World Series. Well, Brian Costello of the New York Post doesn’t appreciate that Rollins would go so far as to say, while clearly hamming it up, that he believes the Phillies are going to beat the Yankees in the World Series. The headline on Costello’s column reads “Mouthy SS says Phils in five.” And Costello wants to let Rollins know he has angered the Great Yankees Fans and will be forced to endure their ire.
Rollins knows he will have the bull’s-eye on him tonight with the Yankee Stadium crowd eager to see him falter. He’s used to being the villain in Queens. Now he gets to see what the Bronx crowd can bring.
Yes, now he will see. Because if Rollins hadn’t said anything, the Yankee Stadium crowd would have certainly treated him with admiration and respect, right?
Further, how dare Rollins not cower in fear and awe and then genuflect to the great and awesome power of the New York Yankees? Does Rollins realize what he just did? He picked his own team to win! On a national television show watched by shut-ins and the mentally ill (seriously, who is watching this crap?).
I hope that Rollins has realized the folly of his statement and that he realizes that to have faith and belief in himself and his teammates and that they could win a series against the Yankees was a terrible, terrible mistake. Next time, Jimmy, just pick the Yankees, unless you desire to get scolded by a New York Post writer again. Shame on you, Jimmy Rollins!

Miami Hurricanes Credit SpongeBob SquarePants For Early Season Success
Posted by: | Comments
The Miami Hurricanes are off to one of their best starts in years. At 4-1, the Hurricanes are ranked 9th in the AP Poll and appear to be enjoying a renaissance of their football program. So, who or what is behind their resurgence? Head coach Randy Shannon’s savvy handling of the team? Quarterback Jacory Harris’ stellar play?
Sure, those two people have had something to do with the Canes’ impressive season, but the real credit goes out to one individual and one individual only: SpongeBob SquarePants.
