Mike Vick: from Falcon to Eagle

So Mike Vick's finally back in the NFL. Although, i would rather have him on another team i am happy for dude regardless just for the fact that he's officially back playing in this league.. & besides, for someone who was in jail for 2 years, being a "back up" i feel actually would be a great role for Vick, for now. lol With the 2-year offer in which he signed, he could really use this year or 2 to shake off the rust before EVENTUALLY being traded or signed to another team in which desperately DOES need a full-time Quarterback.

I wish him the nothing but success in this comeback attempt, & hope all of the haters would just hushh.. accept that he did his time & paid a hefty price for what he did.. and just let him play football again.

Nike's "Kobe in Asia" tour wraps up

Nike's "Kobe in Asia" tour officially wrapped up today in Chengdu.. after hitting Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore & MANILA in the matter of a little over a week.

I personally am a BIG fan of this project by Nike/Kobe, in which the purpose is to expand the sport of basketball across the globe by way of visiting fans & schooling some humble youngsters on the game.

I hope LeBron can do something like this in the future. lol

Nike signs Griffin, Harden, & Curry

After somewhat taking last year's draft off, according to @NikeBasketball, Nike has signed Blake Griffin, James Harden, and Stephen Curry. Blake Griffin was the #1 pick to the Clippers where he will be in a big market and play for a team that does not feature a big time Nike player, Harden went #3 to the Thunder and will join Nike players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry went #7 to the Golden State Warriors a team that like the Clippers, does not feature a marquee Nike athlete.

welcome back Michael Vick

Mike Vick was officially re-instated back into the NFL. finnnally. lol i hope dude makes a tremendously successful comeback wherever he may play next.

Mayweather ESPN interview

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4187100

pussy ass nigga.

Pacquiao'll RIP this muh'f*cka UP.

after Mayweather barely gets through Marquez next month, i'm SURE his next fight'll be against Pac-man, HOPEFULLY in the Fall.. around my birthday in October;) perhaps. He already ducked him once last month when he decided NOT to wait for the results of the Hatton/Pac-man fight & instead pursue an ok yet much less interesting fight w/ Marquez.

Stop frontin' Money!!

LeBron James: "Where AMAZING happens.."

Last night in Cleveland's 2nd game against Orlando, LeBron hit a miracle game-winning 3 pointer with 1 second left in regulation, which happens to be the biggest shot of his career. He ended the night w/ 35 points & 5 dimes.

A 25-foot game-winning, buzzer-beating 3-pointer that defies all reason? One that no more than two dozen people on Earth could have thought he'd hit? One that saved the Cavaliers' dream season -- as well as Cleveland's collective sports psyche -- from plunging into the abyss?

that's just what MVP's do. lol

*James became the third player in NBA playoff history to compile at least 300 points, 80 rebounds and 60 assists in the first 10 games of a single postseason (he has now done this twice).

**Since 2006 James has totaled more 30+ point games in the Playoffs than anyone in the NBA.. 27 times, 3 more than kobe bryant.

SLAM 129

What a classic cover.. especially with the peak of the playoffs currently going on & all this "Great debate: kobe vs. LeBron" talk arising EVERYWHERE. Can you imagine if the Denver Nuggets were to upset & take out the Lakers this series?? dammn.. then SOMEBODY would be held responsible for causing a huuge magazine recall & have to get THEIR face photoshopped out & replaced w/ a Carmelo head. I can't say the same for LeBron against Dwight tho.. cos': "LeBron would NEVER let this happen!!" haha

kobe.. don't F*CK things up, everyone's watching. lol

Stephon Marbury is a dumb mutha'f*cka.

well deserved: MVP

the 2008-2009 nba MVP is LEBRON JAMES. dude is a monster, & in my eyes the BEST basketball player in the world(NOT kobe lol). I honestly thought he should of got it 2 years ago too, INSTEAD of Dirk Nowitzki. lol His great season all started with the '08 Olympics & it's gonna end with a CHAMPIONSHIP this June. real talk. dude's still only 24.. daamn, i hope he pulls in a few more. lol

"W I T N E S S. M V P"

living legend

John Madden retires

NEW YORK (AP)—John Madden’s last game as a football announcer was a thrilling Super Bowl decided in the final seconds.

The perfect ending to a run as one of sports’ most popular broadcasters, now that Madden called it a career Thursday. Yet it didn’t fit Madden’s style to think about his retirement that way.

“I’m a grinder,” he said on his Bay Area radio show. “You just grind and get through it and when it’s all over, you think about it. You don’t rush into any decisions.”

Madden’s exuberance for football and blue-collar persona endeared him to TV viewers for three decades. Boom! As sudden as his signature call, he’s leaving midway through a six-year contract with NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

“I think his work ethic and passion and love for the game made him apart from everybody else,” said longtime broadcast partner Pat Summerall.

Madden said his health is fine, but at the age of 73, he wanted to spend more time with his family. His 50th wedding anniversary is this fall, and his five grandchildren are old enough to notice when he’s gone.

Amazing..

Kanye West's "Amazing" is officially the new theme-song for this season's NBA playoffs.

Manny Pacquiao x FRSH

FRSH, Filipino pound-for-pound boxing champ Manny Pacquiao and Pound 4 Pound International teamed up to create a special limited edition tee for Pacman’s May 2nd, 2009 bout against Britain’s Rickey Hatton. The tee will be the Official Team Pac Man shirt with all proceeds from sales going towards the Manny Pacquiao Foundation, which was established with the goal to provide support and assistance to the underprivileged in the Philippines by offering aid with medical assistance, education for the youth, and food to those in need. Only 502 (commemorating the 5/02 fight date) pieces were produced, designed by FRSH and emblazoned with each entities respective logos. Sales will begin via 80’s Purple this Wednesday, April 15th 2009 and then through FRSH on Friday, April 17th 2009.

SLAM 128

The new June '09 issue releasing soon IF not already out on racks, features 2 youngn' NBA prospects gracing the cover.. OVERrated Spanish point guard sensation & "Pistol Pete" resembling Ricky Rubio & my boy, Compton's own Brandon Jennings.. who I personally see as a more offensively explosive version of Derrick Rose, & future NBA superstar in the next 2 years.
