Every man should do Las Vegas...

This past weekend, I submitted myself to what every man should do at least once in his life. Get your boys together and hit Vegas with everything you got. Trust me when I say you will be handsomely rewarded. My reason? It was my 25th birthday (I'm getting old...), and I figured this would be the greatest way to celebrate. I even got to meet one of my heroes in Miguel Cotto (even though he lost Saturday night), and he was truly a cool dude (photo above with the crew.) I didn't forget about you all though, and sports are always on my mind...okay, except maybe at 3am in VIP at the 40/40...Shoutout to Aith and her people's website http://www.poshlifeposhstyle.com/ who is currently being held hostage in Vegas. She definitely showed your boy and the crew a really good time. Shoutout to Roker at http://www.blogger.com/www.mrswagger.com, who is also known as "I can't find my cell phone..." I will give you a detailed review of my trip to Vegas and sports for the past couple of days...

Ed The Vegas Man

**Ed will be taking a break as he will be in Las Vegas celebrating his 25th birthday this weekend. I will be attending the Team USA vs. Canada game on Friday so look for me in the crowd! Full Details to follow, get at me!**

Ed HEARTS the WNBA!!

MAN! If you didn't happen to see the Detroit Shock vs. LA Sparks game last night (you know you had it setup on the DVR, didn't you?), then you missed out on truly great drama, action, and utter comedy. The Brawl II occured when Candace (my mistress) Parker and Plenette Pierson got into it. Carnage ensued. Let Ed break it down for you...

First off, (courtesy of Yahoo!) Candace Parker wanted to focus on all of the good parts of the Los Angeles Sparks’ win over the Detroit Shock. Unfortunately, it will be the final five seconds that everyone else is going to remember. Parker was one of three players ejected along with Detroit assistant coach Rick Mahorn after an ugly scuffle with 4.6 seconds left in Los Angeles’ 84-81 victory. “To be honest, I don’t recall exactly what happened,” said Parker, who led Los Angeles with 21 points. “I’ll have to watch the tape.”

T-Minus three days to Vegas...

The NBA is stupid...

I have a problem with the NBA and the NFL, because they are the only two leagues in the world where they put an absurd limit on when you can enter their league. What's the point of going to college? To prepare yourself for the real world and a career. That's the point of going to high school or any other type of education we receive. So why is it a big deal for the NBA (and NFL, to a lesser extent) to restrict players to play in their league? Let me give you some examples...

Josh Hamilton is a beast

Josh Hamilton is a beast beyond magical proportions. A rehabbed crackhead alcoholic just shutdown the home run derby. I really don't think folks understand how amazing this dude is. He might become one of my five favorite players, for real. Ken, you better get you a jersey asap, because you gotta claim a dude like this.

Plus, what's the first thing he did after hitting those home runs last night? Thanks his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He's not a perfect athlete, but I appreciate his struggle and folks have to recognize what's really real and what really ain't. People make mistakes, but you've got to let people be an inspiration. Even Barry Bonds, Michael Vick, Tonya Harding, Ben Johnson, etc. Props to Josh, you just made the Ed The Sports Fan's pantheon of great players.

Oh, T-Minus 10 days to Vegas...we're gonna be CHEESING ALL THE WAY!!

Ed's .02's on Too Easy & Benedict Brand

These are my two cents, because I was getting excited on being a fringe bandwagon Clippers fan, and now the joy has (somewhat) been taken away from me by Mr. Brand. As Mr. Hideous said himself, never, EVER trust a Dukie. Okay, let me rant...

The fact of the matter is this: Baron wouldn't have thought about signing with the Clippers if he didn't think Brand was gonna be there. Second, Brand didn't even try and negotiate with the Clips, even if he did a bigger deal from Philly. I don't buy the fact totally that the Clip Show wouldn't pay Brand because they've been trying to sign folks for years (Kobe almost signed with LAC, Ray straight up denied them, and Gilbert Arenas was seriously thinking about it as well.) Also, dude just came off a serious knee injury, yet Philly's willing to pay $16M/year for that? That's a suspect investment, but I'll get on PHILA in a minute.

Benedict Brand

Article provided by Kenny Masenda, check him out at kennymasenda.blogspot.com

Elton Brand is a disgrace to the basketball race. Thing is I don’t even hate, and never have hated, Elton Brand. Despite the fact that he is a Blue Devil, I’ve always respected his demeanor, and his play, but after this latest act, ALL that has gone out of the window.

Monday sucks...

Man, I had a great weekend. It was jam-packed with WAY TOO MUCH going on, but I didn't forget about you all. All four of my readers (thanks, mom.) So we owe you all something, right? First off, I wanna give two middle fingers to Internet HomoThug at http://www.getlikeme.wordpress.com/ and all the great work he does over there. Great guy.

The NBA, where WTF happens...

*courtesy of ESPN.com Insider

These are two players that I'm HUGE fans of, Gilbert Arenas and Baron Davis. There is news that both have opted out of their contracts and are available to the open market. However, more than likely they'll stay on the same teams for 2008-09. Whatever...anyway, I figured that this will tease you for the upcoming season. Besides, did you see the offer Joe Dumars and Detroit threw at Golden State last week? Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace for Baron "Too Easy" Davis? Chris Mullin wanted nothing to do with it. What? You can go Chauncey, Monta, Stephen Jack, Al Harrington, Biedrins, Rasheed, Pietrus, Barnes, Azubuike, and rookies Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph? Mullin's drunk.
