The Drubbing

While watching a Denver Nuggets game last week I got to thinking, “Is there anyone on this team that doesn’t have sleeves?” There are a few, other than George Carl, but the list is a pretty short one. So after careful consideration, we’ve compiled a list of the Most Heavily Tattooed Teams in the NBA. We’ve ranked them from most to least, and cited the players with the most ink on each team. They key here is quantity of tattoos, not quality of the artwork (otherwise Steph’s head tattoo and all of Mike Bibby’s tats would automatically send them to the bottom of the list) nor quantity of players with tattoos, or the subject matter of their tattoos. We want lots of guys, with lots of tats. So here they are.

The LA Raiders are in a state of free fall.  This is not news, but with the recent firing of yet another Head Coach, Al Davis may start calling plays himself next year.  Now, there is no doubt that Al has been around and knows more about football than i ever imagine of learning.  But there comes a point in a person’s life where they should just take a step back, know they are past their prime and let things go.  If we ever had a chance for someone to use a video game to make play calls, this may be the time.

Wow what a week it was. We’ve got some big things shaking up in the Week 6 Larry Bird League, Basketball Jesus Rankings including a new leader. I’ll give you a hint.

In the spirit of recapping this festive Thanksgiving week, filled with Turkey and NFL goodness, we’ll skip the stuffing and go right for the meat of the rankings. I’ll give you a hint. The King is still King, and at least one of the Warriors is losing the battle.

As the New York media anxiously anticipates the summer of 2010 one man continues to capture the headlines: Starbury. If you watch MSG, FSNY, or the Worldwide Leader you know that there are only two topics of discussion when it comes to the New York Knicks:

1. The Knicks are going to get Lebron in 2010!, and
2. Starbury.

I do not have a problem with CI’s title “It’s Week 7 of the NHL and Alllllll’s Weeeeelllll!” aside from the annoyingly excessive amount of times the letters “l” and “e” appear. I like the NHL. In fact I would say that Ovie is my favorite athlete right now because of the joy and energy that he brings to the game. CI, you made one critical mistake…

The Golden State Warrior tandem that has been shocking the Larry Bird Fantasy Basketball world is holding on, but they’re fading fast too. It’s going to take a monumental effort for Stephen Jackson (11) and Andris Biedrins (13) to hold off the likes of Al Jefferson, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and newcomer, Derrick Rose.

Sicilian team, Catania, pulled a 90s-era Mark Wahlberg and dropped their pants while the opposing team was taking a free kick. Was this the start of a very public circle jerk? No. It was their best attempt to block the goalkeeper’s vision.

It probably didn’t come as a surprise, but my team won the match-up 6-4.  Nate is all talk, no game just like his basketball skills.  I predicted a 6-4 win, and that is exactly what i got, although it could have been a lot worse for Nate, he is lucky Calderon got injured.
