Byron Scott Fired

Why?
Byron Scott Fired

Why would you fire a coach this early in the season? I don’t know, but apparently the New Orleans Hornets management knows something I do not. Wednesday night the New Orleans Hornets fired head coach Byron Scott. After a 124-104 loss to Phoenix. New Orleans GM Jeff Bower will replace Scott. Byron Scott won NBA Coach of the Year Award in 2008. The New Orleans Hornets are three and six this season. Sure that isn’t great for a team with Chris Paul and Emeka Okafor, but the Hornets still have seventy-three games left. They have also played some good teams this year.

What do you get when you cross…?


What do you get when you cross O.J. Mayo in a T’Wolves uniform and thirty-six points? Someone to say, “O.J. Mayo’s putting on a Mayo Clinic.”

What do you get when you cross Allen Iverson and Paul Pierce? The Answer is The Truth.

What do you get when you cross Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol? The cave man in the Geico commercial.

If...?

If……?

If you combined Joe Mauer’s hitting ability and Usian Bolt’s running ability, would you get someone who could bat .500? The way Mauer hit this year and Bolt ran this year, probably.

If Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal boxed each other, who would win? Shaquille O’Neal. He’s got sixty pounds on Howard.

If the Yankees held a slam dunk contest, would C.C. Sabathia win? When somebody’s 6-7, 290 pounds, chances are they won’t win a dunk contest.

If Pablo Sandoval fought Po from the movie “Kung Fu Panda” who would win? Pablo Sandoval weighs 245 pounds; Po probably weighed 200 pounds. However, Po was a master at kung fu, something Sandoval is no master at.

A Piggyback Ride with KG

A Piggyback Ride with KG


Imagine this for a little bit. Your walking down the hall in your local mall when you see a man who looks like he is about thirty years old, skinny, and around 7 feet. You wonder to yourself if this person plays professional basketball. You’re not a huge b-ball fan but you know some of the superstars. You get a closer look at the man and say to yourself “Is that Kevin Garnett?” You go over to where he is, and you soon realize it is KG. You ask the man, “Are you Kevin Garnett?”

The man promptly says he is. He hesitates and asks, “Would you like a piggyback ride?”

You think it is a joke but you say, “Yes.”

Then he gets down as if he really is going to give you a piggyback ride. So you figure you should get on; it’s not everyday you get a piggyback ride when you’re an adult, let alone from an NBA superstar. When you’re on his back, you feel a little embarrassed getting a piggyback ride down the hall of your local mall.


Everybody is staring at you and, why not, you’re an adult that is getting a piggyback ride. Kevin Garnett now tells you he will buy you a coffee at the local coffee shop. You’re not a huge coffee drinker, but you figure he is Kevin Garnett, so why not.

Once you get to the coffee shop he buys you a coffee. He doesn’t get any. Kevin and you go to a table and chat. You talk about your family and where you work. He talks mostly about his championship season with the Celtics. When you’re about to leave, a kid about ten years old comes to your table and asks politely for KG ’s autograph. KG gives the kid the autograph using the pen the kid gave him and the napkin the kid gave him. The kid then walks back to where his grandfather is sitting.

You get up to leave and say to KG “Thank you for the coffee and the piggyback ride. Good luck next season I’ll be rooting for you!”

The Great Debate;MLB

The Great Debate; MLB

Albert Pujols, Cardinals first baseman, is arguably the best in the game. However, Joe Mauer, Twins catcher, is also arguably the best in the game. Albert is considered as the best in the NL, while Mauer is considered as the best in the AL.

However, Pujols and Mauer are opposites. They play the game two different ways. Pujols is a power hitter who hit 47 homers this year (took the title for most home runs this year), drove in 135, and batted .327 while missing two games. Mauer hits for average more than power and hit 28 homers this year, drove in 96, and batted .365 (won the AL batting title) while missing 25 games.

So I got to ask you who’s your man? Pujols or Mauer?
