Goodbye Pistons, and Good Riddance...

I didn’t care who came out of the Eastern Conference, as long as it wasn’t the Pistons, and I know I wasn’t alone. The Pistons get less love than perhaps any team that’s enjoyed as much success over a six-year span. Why? Mostly because Detroit’s style of play has always...

LeBron James knows he has something to shoot for, if he didn’t already.Sure, everybody has been saying Kobe Bryant’s the best player in basketball for a few years now, but it was sort of a “Sure, but he’s a whiner and isn’t the best teammate, and LeBron and sometimes...

To any Laker-hater who decided to punish themselves and watch the Western Conference Trophy (sorry, I didn’t catch the name of the actual hardware…the Michael Cage Trophy?) presentation, a little more fuel was thrown on the old conspiracy theory fire. Those who presume that Jerry West had...

On my way home to watch Lakers/Spurs (and a little Giants/D-Backs to see how Small Z’s doing)… No truth to the rumor that Derek Fisher picked up tonight’s officials from their hotel and gave them a ride to the game. Kobe better hope there’s nothing to the latest rumor surrounding...

Some notes on Boston’s 106-102 win over Detroit in Game 5… -If Boston wins Game 6 in Detroit, wouldn’t it be the biggest upset in American professional sports since the Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl? -If I were Flip Saunders, I’d want Kendrick Perkins tested immediately...

By: Sports Girl Liz Vanessa Bryant, Kobe’s loving and faithful wife, has been through a lot. She’s a survivor. She went  through the Kobe sex scandal a couple years back and stood by her man asking for nothing in return. Except for diamonds of course. But those don’t really...

While the San Francisco Giants were across the continent losing two games to the Florida Marlins, I was sitting in right field watching the Oakland A’s complete their sweep of the Boston Red Sox at the Coliseum. Wouldn’t Bay Area baseball be a little more interesting if the team with the...

We already know Jason Taylor has been portrayed as larger than life before. The Brits were responsible way before Taylor danced with the “Stars,” when they celebrated the first ever regular season NFL game in London with an inflatable, moving Taylor replica that was 30 feet tall (thanks to...

By: Sports Girl Liz One of the most popular things for people to do around my office is to post “FAIL” signs on broken appliances and office machinery. Inspired from the blog FAIL blog, signs will appear out of no where on the broken coffee machine, the photocopier with black dots all over...
