But here we go again, RU Ready for some Football!!?

Well, it鈥檚 time to put that sports commentator hat on, blow some money on new gear, brag of being a season ticket holder or envy the lucky few, and maybe even upgrade that television. Yes, the NFL is here, and man there鈥檚 been some blowouts with the game one openers.

Before anybody even cared, I was a Colts Fan. Jim Mora was the first hopeful by replacing Lindy Infante in 1998, and the rookie Payton Manning was 3-13. Then, while I was driving down Emerson Avenue six years ago in Indianapolis, the news came over the radio that Mora was out and Dungy was the new coach. You couldn鈥檛 give tickets away, and it was all Pacers. Now downtown Indianapolis is like one big Manning collage. So please Indy let鈥檚 not forget there鈥檚 also the NBA.

But getting back to business, who is your team, because this isn鈥檛 a Colts forum it鈥檚 an NFL thread. Although True Colts Blue, God help us those Patriots could be back, and the Steelers are looking pretty good too. The AFC has a slew of strong teams from east to west, and what the heck happened to my favorite NFC team the Saints. Are the Colts really that good this year or did Sean Payton鈥檚 Saints simply play that bad? It鈥檚 not really a house divided, I鈥檝e just always had a soft spot for New Orleans, and don鈥檛 have a clue why.

But here we go again, RU Ready for some Football!!?nba live 2006 ,nba teams

im a cowboys fan
yes
I've been ready since May, maybe even sooner. I'm also a True Blue Colts fan and was "before anybody even cared" as you so nicely put it. I've never been a basketball fan, (I know, a sin when you live in Indiana!) so, I'm not much for the Pacers. But I remember what it was like here back then!

I think at least the Colts came out Thursday screaming "No Super Bowl Hangover!!" They might be close to that good. I mean you have to be pretty good to shut Drew Brees down like that, right? And holding both Bush and McAllister to 38 rushing yards! All the "loses" on Defense, seem to have been for the better and if Sanders can stay healthy, this might be the year people stop talking about the crappy Colts D! But like you said the competition is going to be stiff, for sure!!
Oh so ready for some football!!!!!

My Bengals got the Monday night season opener last night

and kicked butt! Who-Dey!!!!!!!

Sorry Leafsroxu but the Piggsburgh Sqeelers are going down this year!!!
I've been ready since the Super Bowl LAST YEAR.

My Steelers are taking the AFC North this year, especially after a horrible performance last night by the Ravens. Bengals will be right on our tails with a wild card.

Wat Is Up Wit Kobe??

is it just me or does kobe suck dis season, last year kobe wuz scoring over 35 points in almost every game, but now he barely scores 20. I think it's da new number i think its bad luck. Wat do u think?

N Check dis out how bout Kobe has Been The Greatest Decrease In Points Per Game In NBA History! How Do U Go From #1 to #14, C'mon. These All Da Dudes In Front Of Him

1. Allen Iverson

2. Carmelo Anthony

3. Michael Redd

4. Dwyane Wade

5. LeBron James

6. Paul Pierce

7. Joe Johnson

8. Vince Carter

9. Yao Ming

10. Gilbert Arenas

11. Dirk Nowitzki

12. Ray Allen

13. Zach Randolph

14. KOBE BRYANT

WTF HOW U LET A POWER FORWARD (Zach Randolp) N A CENTER (Yao Ming) GET IN FRONT OF YOU!!!

BUT KOBE STILL MY FAVORITE PLAYER NO MATTER WAT

Wat Is Up Wit Kobe??college

I'm a Kobe fan, but I didn't expect him to light the scoreboard up like he did last year. First, he's coming off knee surgery and just getting back into the swing of things. Second, he's making a conscious effort to get his teammates more involved. Honestly, I'm surprised he's already 14th in scoring. Trust me, the numbers will slowly go up. We're not even 20 games into the season. There's alot of games to be played. Be patient.

Wat Is Up Wit Kobe??nba odds ,nba teams

kobe, kobe,kobe wat 2 say about kobe....i think the main reason is that lamar odom has stepped it up this year and is more mature than kobe as a leader.dont get me wrong kobe has great talent he just needs 2 mature a little.
Yao %26amp; Zach are pretty dominant. Kob is just recovering from his knee surgery, and he's trynta get back into his mode. He's still kinda rusty, so don't expect him to do all that well early. Do you think that you would be droppin 35 when you just had knee surgery?!
it probably has nothing to do with the knee he had surgery on, or wait it does
wow. first of all, ever heard of a couple of guys named shaquille o'neal or wilt chamberlain? they were/are centers, and have scored lots of points. if you are truly a basketball fan, you might remember that wilt actually averaged over 50 points a game for a season or two. also, a few more names i could throw at you - chris webber, karl malone, kevin garnett, tim duncan. ignorance.

kobe had knee surgery over the offseason and that is sapping his explosiveness, thus leading to less scoring opportunites.

how many people are going to ask why kobe is scoring less. cripes.
Man I think you need to chill out a little and give him a break. His point totals are slumping now but its just that he got off to a not so good start. Really though he is having a great season, he is playing stronger defensively, being a leader, getting more assists. So what if his points dropped for right now by seasons end he will be in the top 5 for sure.
Well he's not doing what he did last year will never happen agian scoring 81 points yep never happen again but the number does have somethin to do with it i think but how is joe johnson number 7?? dont listen to this because D Wade 4?Heres my top 5

1. D Wade

2. A.I

3. Kobe

4. Dirk

5. Lebron James
Well he is in his 11th season, his body is wearing down, he just came off of an injury, missed all the preseason and some regular season games this year and he is trying to get his teamates going first.
hey man, zach randolph is a good player. watch him play, and you will see why he will rank above bryant. yao is doing incredibly well and so are all the other players. bryant is staying low, which is what most fans wanted. fans like you just want him to go back to being a ballhog.
dont worry.. the season is still early.. i am sure his average will go up a lot.. i'd say top five by the end of the season.
WTF???!!! a kobe fan??? n u dunno he has an injury??? wow now thats a fan ryt there.... anyway... hes actually getting better now... check out 52pts against utah... the #1 team in the west....
thats true hes gone down alot

im a kobe fan n a laker fan too n watch all their games

i think the number killed it n then he had surgery which will never allow him to be the 100 percent kobe

hell get better troughout the season hes juss gettin into rythym anyways *** long *** the lakers are winning its all good

Dallas mavericks v. boston celtics, who would win?

mavericks are soo good and they had the best record last year. they started off the season okay but they won 7 straight and are first in the west. they beat goldenstate 2 times this year to wipe of f the embarrassment from last year and they have one of th greatest fowards in the league, dirk nowitzki.

celtics were an embarrassment last year but some how acquired KG and ray allen. they hav the best record in the NBA right now and are the most surprising team thus far.

who would win if they play each other?

Dallas mavericks v. boston celtics, who would win?nba hall of fame

Boston can have all the regular season wins if they get lucky to beat Dallas at the end of the month, but in the end, the Mavs won't have to face the Celtics, because it is going to be the Pistons at the finals, and to the moron that said KG would leave the Mavs MVPless, Duncan and Bowen seperately are better defenders to put on Dirk than KG is, if the Spurs can't stop Dirk, the #1 Defense team, what makes you think this overrated Boston team can stop him.

Dallas mavericks v. boston celtics, who would win?nba draft order ,nba teams

let go boston let go!
Boston.
the dallas mavericks!!!

they are amazing!!!

boston only plays sucky teams, so everyone thinks they're the best!!

but wait til they play dallas!!!

dallas has the best TEAM!!

everyone has their night!!!

dirk nowitzki is always there to help the team along with jason terry, josh howard, and devin harris!!

i love the mavericks!!!

they are the best!!!
the Mavericks would win since Boston hasn't really been playing the big powerhouse teams like the west and lost to teams such as Detroit and Cleveland and Orlando at times and recently lost to Charlotte and Washington so it wouldn't be a blowout but the Mavericks would win
the C's would win because of this...

Rondo vs. Harris:I would say thats a tie

Allen vs. Terry:Allen-he is a better offensive player,Terry has him on defense but Allen can hold his own

Pierce vs. Howard:Pierce-he is a better scorer and they are probably the same on defense

Garnett vs. Dirk:Garnett-he is not as good as Dirk offensively,but Dirk plays no defense whatsoever,he is soft

Perkins vs. Dampier:I would say Perkins-he is finally starting to develop now that he doesnt have to do everything himself
The Celtics would have to win this one, they are good on both ends where to the Mavs are a little one sided on offense, I agree that the Mavs are a little deeper but with KG holding Dirk down I think he wont be much of a factor leaving them MVPless, the Mavs dont really have any shut down defenders giving Allen and Peirce their oppurunity to do what they want, itd be a close game but I'd have to give the edge to the Celtics.
Dallas Mavericks. they have came back sooooooo good, and have been workin really well together as a team. so i have to give them props, so i am sayin Mavs.
boston
the Boston Celtics have such an extroadinary starting lineup it seems that hardly anybody in the league can match up to them when healthy...

but they dont seem to "want" it as bad as they should.. I mean, they've lost to 3 at or below 50% teams.. (cleveland, charlotte, wizards).. and they've yet to play any of the power teams in the west, besides the lakers and I think the suns.. (they beat them both) so its still hard to say who would win that game..

I'd pick the mavericks though

Why do TNA Fans and WWE Fans hate eachother?

Here I will refer to Professional Wrestling as a Sport- if you have a problem with that I suggest you leave. I entitle this video as one which is speaking to any and all fans- the hardcore or the casual- I am sick of the Internet Professional Wrestling Fan today. I challenge you for just a moment step back from your preference being a fan of TNA or WWE and realize that we are all fans of Professional Wrestling. Imagine this, Wrestling covering the week on primtime- Monday night Raw, Tuesday ECW, Thursday iMpact, Friday SmackDown! and PPV on Sunday. On CBS, ABC, NBC, taking timeslots of the NFL, American idol, anything you name. Instead Professional Wrestling is stuck on Sci Fi, Spike and USA. Basic cable reaches 85 % of the US, meaning only SmackDown has the ability to be seen by the largest amount of people, meanwhile the rest are seen at most by 60 %. We're missing a large part of the US alone simply because everytime wrestling spikes in popularity, it goes and kills itself again. For those people that say the Monday Night Wars were the best thing for Professional Wrestling, while it certainly contributed to what you see now, Now 6 years after the fall of WCW, professional wrestling is less popular today than it was 6 years before WCW began.

When Wrestling Spiked in popularity, everyone chose a side and decided to destroy the other. Bischoff publicly called out WWE, WWE invaded WCW shows. In retrospect, WCW made the mistake of going head to head, people couldn't enjoy both brands, they had to choose- and while the two brands killed each other, when WCW fell, so did their audience. Imagine WCW on Tuesday, two straight days of wrestling. In the fall NFL is on most weekdays, Professional Wrestling was on one day. Instead of growing outwards, professional wrestling kicked itself in the butt and shot itself in the foot.

I don't want that to happen today- I love WWE, I love TNA. Both have their faults, but I'm going look at the positives. I don't ever want WWE to buy TNA. I want WWE to continue to grow and improve its own brands. I don't want TNA to move to Monday Nights. I want TNA to get rid of Spike when it gets big enough and go to a better network that reaches a larger audience. Imagine TNA and WWE working together. Imagine WWE, at the end of their show, saying, "be sure to check out Total Non-Stop Action on Spike TV at 9!" Instead of hurting professional wrestling, encouraging the audience to grow, encouraging the audience not to just watch WWE, but PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. All successful sports do it- NFL, NBA, NHL. I don't remember the Broncos playing the Chiefs and wanting to beat them so badly they wanted to put them out of business. They realize that (1.) competition is good and (2.) by encouraging their competition, their competition encourages them.

Getting wrestling on primetime is the first step is making Professional Wrestling the premiere sport today. Am I crazy? In 1997 Wall Street was so concerned because the NFL WAS LOSING MONEY TO PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING they took out an ad in the New York Times- "Don't Wrestle with your advertising Dollars this season"- Professional Wrestling had the NFL thinking they had some problems. Nearly 10 years later, professional wrestling is lucky to have a no-name NFL player come to a show- then they become the biggest thing there. The NFl should want WWE and TNA guys there in the stadiums.

Why do TNA Fans and WWE Fans hate eachother?baseball

Excellent argument. As a fan of both TNA and WWE I feel I benefit the most because I get to watch wrestling 4 days a week, yet I go on here and read about WWE fan boys claiming that TNA sucks while I bet most of them have never even seen an episode. I try to watch as much wrestling as I can, I even buy DVDs on a regular basis from indy feds like ROH, FIP, and CZW (ROH is by far the best wrestling federation out there today) one thing I don't agree with is that you want wrestling to rise in popularity because there is a problem with that, and that is the wrestling feds don't know how to attract a larger audience. Case in point is Kevin Federline, It was WWE writer Brian Gerwitz idea to get him to play a mini feud with John Cena in order to gain some mainstream appeal, yet all it did was ostracize actual wrestling fans, I agree that wrestling is great the story lines and superstars have such great potential, however the product delivered from the WWE has been trying its hardest to appeal to larger audiences while straying from actual wrestling. They need to find a way to get a larger audience yet still have 2 hours of wrestling rather than 1 hour and thirty minutes of skits and promos, 20 minutes of mediocre wrestling spread out between 4 matches, and 8 minutes of a decent main event. That is not recipie for success, and neither is having a rosie vs donald skit take up 20 minutes of air time and then send a press release to every news station hoping that raw becomes the water cooler talk when it actually just becomes a reason for fans to switch off.

You also mention that smackdown has the capability to reach the largest audience, yet it only gets an average rating of 2.7 a week.

and I'm adding a little more to this since the first responder to your question Jeff made an idiotic statement, the only 40 or 50 year old has-been on TNA that I know of is Scott Steiner, big poppa pump sure he may be a has been, but he's the only one, everyone else on the roster serves a purpose, and as for saying the rest of their roster wouldn't make it onto the WWE, you're dead wrong, AJ Styles, Senshi, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Paul London, CM Punk, and Jay Lethal, while they were all in Ring of Honor they were the men who vince himself said "Hire at any means necisarry" He only go London and Punk onto his roster because the other wrestlers preferred TNA's style. Don't bad mouth a company if you know absolutely nothing about the wrestling buisness.

Why do TNA Fans and WWE Fans hate eachother?nba playoff schedule ,nba teams

TNA blows, its a bunch of hasbeens and losers that Vince didnt want anymore. Guys in their 40's and 50's that should have retired by now. Also a bunch of lame guys that could never make it in WWE.
Everyone single one of you are complete idiots...are you kidding me WWE? What a load of crap! What actual moves do any of them do????? Beside RVD??? Poor guy needs to get his head straight and go to TNA. Some of you actually claimed to have watched TNA, and I honestly don't believe it...The only person that is in their 40s on TNA is jerry lynn and he is hell of alot better then any of those ***** on WWE! If you wanted TNA you could actually see a real match! They don't just do kick, punch, big ol body slam! OOO can't forget that GREAT STFU! What the hell is that crap ????? For any of you real TNA fans....WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT NO, WE AINT GONNA TAKE IT, WERE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!! Why watch crap wrestling when you know there is a whole lot better out there, any of you WWE fans please take out the time and watch what some of these moves these guys can actually do better then any of that crap you are watching what a waste of time!
I do agree with you on a lot of points. However, your utopia-like concept of competion is likely to never take place because Vince McMahon hates Jeff Jarrett and vice versa. Also, both guys have too much of an ego to help each other out all because of one little spat they had in 1999. Plus now it seems like TNA thinks they're better than WWE by "giving their fans what they want." TNA continually mocks WWE week in week out and encourages their fans to do the same. If I know Vince McMahon he won't forgive that or support their product ever. In fact he doesn't even acknowledge they exist because he knows "when in doubt, buy them out." Adn I'm pretty sure WWE fans are sick and tired of hearing the same crap from TNA fans, so they bite back. So I hope I answered your question. I, myself am a WWE and TNA fan.
I enjoy both tna and wwe. Its entertainment i dont see why people get all weird and **** over it.Its either you like it or you dont, I am not going to be mad if you dont lie both of them,thats just silly
i agree wit you it annoys me when tna or wwe fans say when you dont watch the other show or say the other show sucks that you are not a real wrestling fan i watch both and i enjoy both instead of nitpicking on the shows faults
i am the number ONE fan of wwe,and i hate TNA, the reason why they hate each other is TNA is FAAAAAAKKE WWE is

4 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!...
because stone cold said so!!!!
I would be more willing to give TNA a chance, if they didn't have this thing about having their ExWWE people bash WWE. They should just stick to what they have going for them and understand that WWE is way ahead of them.
It's just like everything else. I like Pepsi I hate Coke. I like the Dodgers, I hate the Giants, I like Nike, I hate Reebok, I like Chevys I hate Fords, I like WWE, I hate TNA
Well for starters i like both shows. I think they are both excellent but to answer the question i think TNA fans hate WWE fans cause the TNA is trying to establish itself as a major wrestling brand so naturally TNA fans are gonna support it and feel that one day the organization could possibly become better than the WWE.

On the WWE side the fans feel that TNA fans are supporting a bunch of has beens that coulden't cut it in the WWE eather cause of lack of talent or they coulden't handle the hectic travel schedule the WWE wrestlers have to go through plus it ticks them off to actually see former WWE talent actually thriving in a smaller organization like Christian, Rhyno, Gail Kim, Christie Hemmie, Jeff Jerret ect ect.. in the WWE they all sucked and the fans never liked them much but now in TNA they are like over night success stories basically..not to mention TNA was able to do what WWE coulden't and that was to sign Sting.. plus all the rumors that when Jericho returns he might defect and go there.
Lol I thought that vince owned tna since I saw christian, gail kim %26amp; kurt angle go on it.

I thought it was like a minor league of pro wrestling. Guess not.
It's not the "regular" fans that hate each other (I watch all the wrestling shows, WWE and TNA... I don't hate myself either). The hate comes from what you can expect to find in any area where there are competing choices, namely a subset of people that are polarized so much for choice "X" that they shun "Y" because it is simply "not X" and can't take the view of someone else and see what another person could like about "Y" and not like about "X".

So whether the polarized opinion is formed by an informed personal preference (tried it, didn't like it) or uninformed choice (I won't like it, so no need to even try it)... you'll have the polarized people taking a very vocal stance in favor of "X" and slamming "Y", and will react negatively to any criticism of "X" even if valid, and ignore anything positive about "Y", even if valid.

However, I think most fans are moderate, they can see the good and bad with WWE and TNA and can comment on both aspects of either promotion, and aren't out to troll and ask questions just to provoke the opposing view.

Are the Lakers doomed?

Well, it seems like the Lakers will start next season like last year, with no good players. I just don't understand why they didn't fire Mitch Kupchack. He didn't improve the team at all this offseason. They didn't even get a single good player. They didn't get Garnett or O'neal, not even Jason Kidd back in February. It is sad to see how this great team is going down the hole. What do you guys think we should do to get the Lakers back to championship status? If the organization doesn't do anything, I have a feeling the Lakers won't win another NBA title in the next 10 years or so, maybe more.

Are the Lakers doomed?nhl

yes they are sucky and kupchak is the worst gm in histroy he should be put up to trial with donaghy they both ruin the game

Are the Lakers doomed?nba street homecourt ,nba teams

theyre not doomed theyre just trying to figure it out
i dont think they will make it to the playoffs especially with kobe doing all the work
there always doomed. they only have player capable of being great and he isn't a very thrown around name anymore.
we never know if they are doomed yet maybe they get oneal

you never know what could happen
They are just starting to build, they have tons of young talent. We are going to be ok maybe not this season but next season.
please no more laker questions
Pretty doomed. They should have picked up Jason Kidd at the trade deadline last season. Their sad status makes me wonder if we'll see sometype of crazy trade like Gilbert Arenas, some draft picks, and some cash for Kobe.
Well dont count out there Jermain O'Neal deal just yet. They could still get him if they are willin to deal Lamar Odom but anyways the Lakers will always have chance of championship within next 5 years as long as they keep Kobe and gain more stars. But Kobe will probably leave if they dont obtain anyone
to answer your question, yes they are
Oh, such a pity.
kobe should sit out next season, that'll guarentee the lakers a top 3 pick in next years lottery. Without Kobe, the T'Wolves will beat their as ses.

What will happen to Udrih once Bibby comes back?

Udrih's confidence is sky high and he's finally getting the chance to show that he can be a starting PG in the NBA, so what's gonna happen once Bibby comes back?

Does Bibby really give the Kings a much better chance of winning or is he someone the Kings use as trade fodder?

If the Kings decide to move Udrih to the bench I think they're going to have to playing him around 20 minutes per game to keep his confidence level. I've been watching Udrih since his rookie season and he's definately the type of player who loses confidence easily and takes a lack of playing time personally.

What will happen to Udrih once Bibby comes back?nba playoff bracket

He Will just be Bibby's backup.Yes Bibby gives them a better chance of winning.

What will happen to Udrih once Bibby comes back?nba trade rumors ,nba teams

dunno. its still early in the season. beno has been playing great. but can he keep it up? does he really play better as a starter? is this the real beno?
I was thinking about this very question last night after Beno's awesome game.

I personally think that Beno is a much better PG and player than Bibby. Yes, Bibby WAS good...but he's loosing talent. Yeah he's still good but not as good as Beno.

I think that when Bibby comes back Theus will probably start Bibby at PG but also give Beno alot of playing time. Even though I do not agree with this, that's what I think will happen.

Good luck to Beno.
Kings are a better team without Bibby. Udrih is a leader on court something you want from PG. Bibby is just a shooter who happens to play pg. He's not a leader.
It's called platooning. Bibby and Udrih will share the PG duties with Bibby getting the lions share.

Why is no one giving the Mavs credit?!?!?

The mavs are 4-1. thats tied for 2nd in the nba. they have been consistently title contendors. and have proven how good they are over the last few years. and this off-season they didnt lose anybody and picked up 3 new good players.

yet most people dont have them in their top 5 in the league. behind teams like the nets, clippers and rockets. WATS UP WIT DAT?!?!?!

Why is no one giving the Mavs credit?!?!?nba update

For the same reason that no one is giving the Spurs a chance to repeat this season.

The Mavs, Spurs, and Suns are all the biggest threats in the NBA. I wouldn't worry about it! Avery Johnson, should take a page out of Pop's book and learn to have his team fly under the radar. It will help them to focus during the post season.

The Rockets are good, so don't count them out, but the Clippers and the Nets I don't get at all.

yea... ill give them credit for being good reagular season... but during the playoffs they are a totally different story. ehhh watever. i personally dont like the players, the coach, or the owner.

aggggggg. they really really really piss me off!
With what has happened in their latest playoff run... Recently they lost to Portland... It is pretty easy to doubt the Mavs... There is still a lot of room for growth... Avery Johnson should cut his player's playing time so that they would not appear exhausted during the playoffs...
Let me make this quick. NOBODY LIKES THE MAVS!
People are still dumbfounded from last post season 1st round exit.
Hey, there's a saying

"Fool me once-shame on you but fool me twice-shame on me"

Well, I've been fooled twice by the Mavs.

They went to the Finals and won two games. Things were looking good. Then they lost 4 games in a row. Wow!

Then the following season they won 67 regular season games. That is the 5th best record in NBA history. Again, things were looking good. Then they froze up, left their testicles in the locker room and lost to the 8th seed. Wow!

I'm not the only one. There are plenty of people that have a "wait and see" attitude towards the Mavs. It's perfectly reasonable to doubt them.
I am. I like the Mavs and I have picked them to reach the conference Finals.

Try selling the 5 you don't really want any more. Nobody else can make that call for you.

Try the newest ones that you have.

Wondering what my Larry Bird autographed book is worth??

Does anyone knowledgable want to take a rough guess as to the value (in USD$) of a signed copy of this book by Celtic's legand Larry Bird? The book is a large, hardcover edition entitled 'The Boston Celtics - A Championship Tradition - Fifty Years.'

Here is a link with a copy of the book i own:

http://www.bestwebbuys.com/The_Boston_Ce...

The copy I own is a limited edition given to me 10 years ago or so as a gift by the Boston Celtics for season ticket holders only. Luckily, I am 100% sure that this is Bird's genuine signature because I saw him sign it himself at a benefit event sponsored by the NBA. It's still in near mint to mint condion.

(If this item really intrigues anyone...I have no plans to sell it (anytime soon), but that isin't to say that I am not willing to entertain offers that appeal to me. Post your email address below if you are maybe interested and I will respond to you with an email if you'd like.)

Pippen didnt become a good player until the 90's, how did MJ do vs the great teams of the 80�

I also was able to show that Jordan gave his best for his strongest competition.

80s Boston: 34.8 ppg

80s Detroit: 32.6 ppg

When you look at a players success in the playoffs you should but wins first then points that game he tore up the cetics and it was god on the court he lost lets face it wasn't until his team was their and he starting trusting his team mates that they won.
Firstly, Michael Cooper was playing in Italy in 1991. And Pippen was a good player already by 1989 and was an all star in 1990. Don't forget that 80s boston and 80s detroit probably beat the crap out of the bulls while Jordan was hogging the ball.

But I agree, Michael is one of the greatest of all time, although I'd still rank Chamberlain above him.

Why does Vince Carter cry to the officials so much?

I have been watching the NBA playoffs and noticed that after EVERY touch, VC runs over to the officials with his palms out and begs for calls.

I have a feeling since his injury to his leg, he hasn't been able to physically dominate players like he used to. So at any little contact, he wants a foul. He front rimmed a layup last night in the game, and yelled at a ref. The replay showed he NEVER GOT TOUCHED.

I used to LOVE VC's game. I have lost a lot of respect for him this post-season. I hope he mans up in the future, and starts trying to put the ball in the hole rather than act and yell like he was fouled.

Why does Vince Carter cry to the officials so much?nfl

I am also a big fan of VC during his prime and the Nets.

This cry-baby attitude is a certain phase that waning stars go through. They were not doing this when they were at their prime but learn this trick to point the blame to the refs. Notice that they only do this because they don't have the energy left in them to finish the play. Instead of admitting their lack of competitiveness, they will call the attention of the refs (%26amp; fans)so that in case they lose, they are not to be blamed.

If you compare VC to the new breed of stars (Wade, Lebron, Bosch %26amp; Melo), you will see the difference. The latter would quickly get back on defense and do their job.

Aside from VC, some of the notable prima donnas who are in this cry-baby stage are:

1. Antoine Walker - used to be the star of the Celtics

2. Steve Francis - used to be the star of the Rockets

3. Allen Iverson - used to be the star of the Sixers

Of course, they become prima donnas because their coaches never tried to discipline them to be responsible and accountable. What makes it worst is that team mates emulate them. You'll notice that Jefferson, Moore and Nachbar are starting to be moaners even though they have not reached their star status.

Unlike MJ, Shaq, Zo, Bird, Grant Hill, Stackhouse, Regie, etc. who were all stars of their teams but were disciplined by their coaches not to be whiners.

Why does Vince Carter cry to the officials so much?nba power rankings ,nba teams

because it works

nothing against our Canadian bretheran and sisteran, but when a guy spends time in a nation where soccar is sorta a big deal, well, bad things can happen. Have you ever seen a soccar player flop? It's pathetic---and a coupla minutes later they are up and running....disgusting...

To be fair, most Canadians are tougher than this---hockey and stuff, and the best floppers have been guys like Reggie Miller and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But VC is getting older and unfortunately wiser. Flopping works
Any respect I had for Vince went went he confessed to essentially "tanking" his last season in Toronto.

What a fraud.

He cries so much to officials becasue he's a spoilt baby, like many pro athletes these days.
After VC's first couple of years in Toronto, I've never cared for him. He, on occasion, displays flashes of brilliance, but for the most part, he spends more time complaining to the ref, going down with an "injury" and less time focusing on playing the game. He could be one of the top NBA players if he concentraed on the game....
because he's old, and washed up. did u see him choke time after time against the CAVS?
prima donna..loser..doesnt produce in the clutch..so ill whine....typical no carolina prima donna
he thinks he's good but he needs an excuse to SUCK!!!
One simple reason - He's in the NBA. Show me the player who isn't a whiner in that league.

Watch the replays of last night with Steve Nash. He gets fouled, falls to the floor.....Then he flails his arms back as though he got hit again.

*edit*

A spurs fan? You must be kidding, hairy. I detest the NBA. The officials decide every game - they should be called 'judges' instead. The league promotes thug life, then they complain about their thug image. Every player in the league is a whiner. How can you call it a contact sport when there is a penalty for contact?
they are alll little babies!
I think you're right. When he was 100% (and younger) his physicality allowed him to play through the contact. Now the slightest little school yard bump and he wants to take his ball and go home!
Ken must be a spurs fan lol every player crys to the refs even Jordan did it an might have been the worst at it. Cause he figured out if I'm the best player on the court I possibly can get all the call if i cry alittle bit

Which city had all four major league teams in the finals in the same year?*?

The super bowl was played in January of the next year, but it was for the championship of the previous years season. Can you name the city and the year? Clue: Not all four teams won. By the 4 major leagues I mean the NBA, NFL, MLB, and the NHL (ok, I know, I know, hockey isn't really a sport, but for the sake of the question, we'll let it slide this time!)

Will the Seattle SuperSonics re-locate to Oklahoma City? And if so, when? The Sonics owner Clay Benn

Oklahoma native and is threatening to move the Sonics to Oklahoma City after 2007-2008 season if they don't build a new arena. I am a resident of a nearby suburb of Seattle, WA and I am not in favor of having a new arena built. First off, the Seattle tax payers and Washington State taxpayers in general already paid for a new baseball stadium, Safeco Field and Quest Field, the Seahawks Stadium during the past 8 years. Also, Key Arena, where the Sonics play, was re-modeled in 1994 and the city is still paying on that. Key Arena is a nice arena which sits just over 17,000 for basketball. It is the smallest NBA arena, but there isn't a bad seat in the house. I feel that Mr. Bennett wanted to move the team to Oklahoma the entire time since he has owned the Sonics, since July 2006. The Sonics just lost their 2 marquis players, Ray Allen to the Boston Celtics and Rashard Lewis to the Orlando Magic. I say, let them go. We don't even sell-out games now, so what's the point in having a

Will the Seattle SuperSonics re-locate to Oklahoma City? And if so, when? The Sonics owner Clay Bennett is asporting goods

Bennett has set an Oct. 31 deadline for the stadium deal to be set. Right now the only serious offer is by the Muckleshoot Tribe in Auburn. They would give the land to the Sonics for free to build the stadium plus assist with building costs. The total figure is unknown. The city of Seattle has enrolled Slade Gorton to help hold the team to its lease deal at Key Arena until the lease runs out in 2010. Bennett will probably get his way and relocate the team.

You cared enough to pour out your rant. If you didn't care you would shrug your shoulders, say good riddance, order a Starbucks Vanilla Latte Venti and be on your way.
Seattle is not manly enough for sports teams anyway! I've met a few people from there, and they fit all the typical stereotypes of a Seattleite!
Woop dee doo so they'll just stink up another area of the country.. I bet the Oklahoma City residents are THRILLED of having a team thats going nowhere instead of the New Orleans Hornetts who could make the playoffs this year.
Seattle will most likely re-locate to Oklahoma City in the upcoming years. Oklahoma City has shown that it has a good fan base with the New Orleans Hornets. The trade of Ray Allen to Boston and the departure of Rashard Lewis to Orlando are signs that the team will relocate soon. Seattle will most likely be headed to another lottery season because they chose to rebuild. Look for Oklahoma City to be the new home of the Seattle Sonics.
good points. but, the sonics just recently got something that should make the fans come back... kevin durant. he's gonna bring back the fans, him and jeff green. i mean i understand why u want the sonics to move to oklahoma, but let's just give these 2 guys a chance. they might make seattle a contender in the playoffs. they're 2 great young athletes with loads of potential. if the sonics end the season with a horrible record, then i agree that they should move. but kevin durant and jeff green should attract alotta seattle fans.

Pippen didnt become a good player until the 90's, how did MJ do vs the great teams of the 80�

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?

According to SportingNews.com

SAN ANTONIO -- The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs acquired guard Vassilis Spanoulis from the Houston Rockets for center Jackie Butler and the draft rights to Luis Scola.

The Spurs will also get the Rockets' second-round pick in 2009, San Antonio said in a statement Thursday night.

Spanoulis, who averaged 2.7 points in 31 games as a rookie last year, has said he didn't want to return to the Rockets because he was homesick and wanted to remain in his native Greece.

Butler played in 11 games for the Spurs last year, averaging 3.7 points.

Scola averaged 15.5 points, 5.9 rebound and 2.2 assists for Tau Ceramica in the Euroleague this season.

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?nba

i think that this is a good move for the spurs, i think it will help in developing there team even more in the long run as i believe that spanoulis will want to play for spurs and will be a very successful player...

i don't think that it was such a good move for Houston compared to what spurs are getting out of the deal....

therefore my thought on this is that it is good for spurs but bad for rockets in the long run as i think spanoulis will move to play with spurs as the NBA is the greatest league in the world and he will know that, and will want to gain success

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?nhl ,nba teams

Unless Spanoulis just pretend to be homesick then this signing is a big bust.

If Spanoulis decided to play, then WOW.
Just as a note: The Spurs haven't signed Spanoulis, he was already under contract, signed by the Rockets last year with another year left on his contract. They traded for his contract, giving up the rights to Luis Scola, who also doesn't want to play here, and Jackie Butler, who has a cool looking beard, but won't really be noticed as missing from the NBA champs. Butler will help as a backup in Houston, but is not a future star by any means, and he can probably be replaced by the second rounder the Spurs are getting next year.

My guess is the Spurs will let Spanoulis out of his contract for future considerations from some European team, such as a lower buyout price for one of the other players in Europe that haven't come over here yet. Possibly Robertas Javtokas, who was playing for a Greek team, Panathinaikos, last I heard.
BEING GREEK MYSELF I CAN TELL YOU THIS...IF SPANOULIS REALLY WANTED TO STAY IN GREECE,THEN THE SPURS MADE A BIG MISTAKE FOR SIGNING HIM.

HE WILL NOT BE PRODUCTIVE,HE WILL PLAY JUST TO PICK UP HIS CHECK.HE WILL BECOME HOMESICK VERY FAST AND WILL BE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.......BIG MISTAKE...BIG
butler didn't contribute much to the spurs campaign last season so i think it's a good move. spanoulis is a good player a good back-up for bruce bowen since there are no legitimate small forwards aside from bowen.

Celtics winning this year without a doubt?

Imma enjoy another winning season. I remember when my Bulls won 6 in the 90s and when i became a Lakers fan and they won 3. It took me a while but when the Heat won in 06 i seen another one of my teams win. My New York Giants won the Super Bowl this year so that means, my new team the Celtics winning the NBA title without a doubt right?

Celtics winning this year without a doubt?basketball shoes

Well hello there BAND WAGON RIDER!

The Celts do have a good chance of winning. Mostly, because they have home court advantage. Their road games are scary...

Celtics winning this year without a doubt?nba champions ,nba teams

What's up Michael,

The Celtics were the favorites coming into the playoffs with the best record overall coming in.

In the playoffs they have looked vulnerable and have yet to play well on the road--- this should be a cause for concern. So do the Celtics have a good chance? Yes. But are they winning without a doubt? No. There are lots of doubts. The Cavs are one win away from tying this series- and LeBron has been horrendous in this series.

The Pistons are up 3-1 and may be well rested waiting for the winners of the Celtics-Cavs series. Plus all 4 teams in the West look good and will be formiddable opponents if the Celtics make it that far.

So the Celtics are still one of the teams to beat- the Spurs are the defending champs, and the Lakers are the #1 seed in the West, and well have homecourt advantage throughout- but the Celtics on the road should be some cause for concern.

Nickster
no the celtics wont win this season, they can't win a road game, and going against anyone out of the west they wont have a fair chance, ecspecailly have it be the expierenced spurs, or chris pauls hornets, the lakers have a **** at it too, any team that is left in the west basically could beat the celtics, unless the big 3 have a BIG game, it wont happen
of course, if your heart is pure anything can happen, remember you put a loose tooth out for the tooth fairy.

AND, after looking at Celtics 0-4 on the road facing teams that are far less talented than they are, I am completely speechless at their abilities.

BUT YOU MIGHT BE TRYING TO DEMOSTRATE WHAT KIND OF FANS ARE CURRENT BOSTON FANS, JUST A BUNCH OF FAIR WEATHER BAND WAGONERS.
Wrong The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to win because Celtics have cheated the past 2 wins against Cleveland

they are finding ways to injure Lebron the series is set 2and 1

Cavs are going to the finals and there gonna beat Celtics to do it
your one of the most shittiest fans i have seen. i never switch favorite teams like that i always stick with one that i like and thats been the celtics ever since i was a little kid
Dude the only way the Celtics pull off a championship this year is if it is in a movie. Staring Matt Damon as hegotgame and Ben Aflec as Keven Garnot....
it sounds to me like you just pick whoever happens to be winning that season and call yourself a fan. you are a true idiot.
Lol you fair weather douche...

There are actually many doubts seeing as they haven't been able to win on the road yet in the playoffs...
Wow u sound like a BIG TIME bandwagon fan.

And dont say "my giants" or "my new team the celtics" because ur not a real fan.

I bet if they won it all this year and sucked next year you would HATE them
You sound like a bandwagoner.

And no sorry the Lakers will probably take it all.
look you can go ahead and jump on any other team you want but stay off MY HEAT...
wrong. and have you ever heard about being loyal to one team? I wouldnt be surprise they go to the final or they lose because they had trouble with the worst team in the playoff
Hahaha sounds like you are a BANDWAGONER!
youre a bandwagoner's mouth is being carried by a coccky celtics' banana.
Your crazy because the Celtics might get past the cavs but there is no way they will beat the Pistons in the conf. finals
LMAO!!! Bandwagon fan!

Pshhh I bet you werent even born in the 90s..
can you say bandwagon fan
fair weather fan?
dude shut the **** up!!!

ur such a flip-flop. stick with 1 team.

Are the Heat throwing games to get a very high pick?

I've speculated that they knew Shaq was finished and wanted to replace him...like right away. I'm just wondering if they are trashing this season to get a spectacular pick. All they need is one good player and they're back in the mix. However, I think Wade is probably still suffering from last year's injury, he's halfway good enough to carry the team, when healthy.

Then again, Shaq seems to be the kiss of death for many NBA teams. Phoenix has been one setting sun ever since he came on board...

Are the Heat throwing games to get a very high pick?nba street

Heat aren't throwing games. They are still trying to compete each and every game they play. They still have 2 great players in Marion and Wade. The supporting cast is very well in doubt. They are now experimenting on different lineups to know which players to keep for next seasons campaign. They'll get a high pick regardless if they don't intentionally loss there games.

Regarding the Shaq trade lets see first what the Phoenix Suns will do in the playoffs then you be the judge of the Shaq deal as a bust or not. The evaluation for that trade is whether the Suns win it all or not (Championship).

Are the Heat throwing games to get a very high pick?nba news ,nba teams

I hope not because you can't throw away games and expect to get the number one pick any more. Because it will all depend on the ping pong balls. And then I think Memphis may be doing the same thing and it is a whole lot easier to lose in the west then it is in the east. But like someone answered before, Boston tried to do it last year and it did not work out too well for them. But then I guess it was a good thing too because if they would have got the number 1 pick I don't think they would have made those trades.
what are you talking about shaq is kiss of death for many nba teams? he played for 3 teams up until get traded, winning championships with 2 of them... and the only reason he didnt win one in orlando was because he was a rookie and had no support cast.... anyway, whats the focus of your question? are you trying to bash shaq or ask about the heat throwing games? the heat aren't throwing games, if they are, then their fans (which are down to about 4-6 thousand per game) will show even greater disregard for the team..... the team just plain sucks, there's no passion, no chemistry, no anything..... it may look like their throwing games, but in fact, they are just the worst team in the nba right now.....
well they probably aren't trying hard enough... they have the worst record in the league and their star is only giving a 50% effort.

the heat wouldn't throw games to get a very high pick because even if they tried, they'd still lose.

the heat are trying to rebuild their team. they won't be contenders for many years to come.

SORRY MIAMI FANS!
I agree in everything you said. Wade still looks quite injured, and Shaq is just misery, a waste of money. But still, I don't think Miami would get #1. Boston didn't get it last year, right?
maybe, but they are just not a good team, look at their roster, its not good, none of the players stand out, even next year they are not going to be playoff contenders unless they make some huge changes, i mean huge, like trading all their players except wade and marion
I guess so.
aside from Wade and Marion, there's really a big talent gap in the Heat lineup. Wade is still indeed suffering him his surgeries and i think he should rest. no use prolonging his recovery time or endangering him of getting injured again. Riley already has said it, most of the players have already given up on the season and aren't even trying to play decently anymore. time to mix the lineup up again. start with Wade and Marion. if Riley can convince the Clips to let go of Brand, then Haslem can be let go.

i don't think the Heat are throwing games intentionally but the players are not motivated to fight for wins anymore
no
ya know dude.. i totally agree with u that wade could take his team pretty far..but like u said when healthy.but if they do want 2 replace the "new shaq" then u might want 2 get a pretty good player cuz the celtics with kevin garnett and paul peirce and ray allen ther doin awesom this year.i went 2 a celtics game 2 sundays ago and man they 1 by 5 baskets wich wuz 10points.so if they do trade shaq or in other words the new shaq it might not b good if phoenix picks him up.cuz right there that makes phoenix have a pretty good chance of wining more games.well nice talkin 2 u bye!
NO!!

theyre not just good enough...

no team would want to lose like that...

from a championship to this...?

that sucks....
probably. they need a good a pick to get back in the game. it is a good strategy
they are rebuilding right now.. they can regain that championship trophy in about .... 30 years..
IF THEY WERE MARION AND WADE WOULDNT BE PLAYING

Why do TNA Fans and WWE Fans hate eachother?

Here I will refer to Professional Wrestling as a Sport- if you have a problem with that I suggest you leave. I entitle this video as one which is speaking to any and all fans- the hardcore or the casual- I am sick of the Internet Professional Wrestling Fan today. I challenge you for just a moment step back from your preference being a fan of TNA or WWE and realize that we are all fans of Professional Wrestling. Imagine this, Wrestling covering the week on primtime- Monday night Raw, Tuesday ECW, Thursday iMpact, Friday SmackDown! and PPV on Sunday. On CBS, ABC, NBC, taking timeslots of the NFL, American idol, anything you name. Instead Professional Wrestling is stuck on Sci Fi, Spike and USA. Basic cable reaches 85 % of the US, meaning only SmackDown has the ability to be seen by the largest amount of people, meanwhile the rest are seen at most by 60 %. We're missing a large part of the US alone simply because everytime wrestling spikes in popularity, it goes and kills itself again. For those people that say the Monday Night Wars were the best thing for Professional Wrestling, while it certainly contributed to what you see now, Now 6 years after the fall of WCW, professional wrestling is less popular today than it was 6 years before WCW began.

When Wrestling Spiked in popularity, everyone chose a side and decided to destroy the other. Bischoff publicly called out WWE, WWE invaded WCW shows. In retrospect, WCW made the mistake of going head to head, people couldn't enjoy both brands, they had to choose- and while the two brands killed each other, when WCW fell, so did their audience. Imagine WCW on Tuesday, two straight days of wrestling. In the fall NFL is on most weekdays, Professional Wrestling was on one day. Instead of growing outwards, professional wrestling kicked itself in the butt and shot itself in the foot.

I don't want that to happen today- I love WWE, I love TNA. Both have their faults, but I'm going look at the positives. I don't ever want WWE to buy TNA. I want WWE to continue to grow and improve its own brands. I don't want TNA to move to Monday Nights. I want TNA to get rid of Spike when it gets big enough and go to a better network that reaches a larger audience. Imagine TNA and WWE working together. Imagine WWE, at the end of their show, saying, "be sure to check out Total Non-Stop Action on Spike TV at 9!" Instead of hurting professional wrestling, encouraging the audience to grow, encouraging the audience not to just watch WWE, but PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. All successful sports do it- NFL, NBA, NHL. I don't remember the Broncos playing the Chiefs and wanting to beat them so badly they wanted to put them out of business. They realize that (1.) competition is good and (2.) by encouraging their competition, their competition encourages them.

Getting wrestling on primetime is the first step is making Professional Wrestling the premiere sport today. Am I crazy? In 1997 Wall Street was so concerned because the NFL WAS LOSING MONEY TO PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING they took out an ad in the New York Times- "Don't Wrestle with your advertising Dollars this season"- Professional Wrestling had the NFL thinking they had some problems. Nearly 10 years later, professional wrestling is lucky to have a no-name NFL player come to a show- then they become the biggest thing there. The NFl should want WWE and TNA guys there in the stadiums.

Why do TNA Fans and WWE Fans hate eachother?baseball

Excellent argument. As a fan of both TNA and WWE I feel I benefit the most because I get to watch wrestling 4 days a week, yet I go on here and read about WWE fan boys claiming that TNA sucks while I bet most of them have never even seen an episode. I try to watch as much wrestling as I can, I even buy DVDs on a regular basis from indy feds like ROH, FIP, and CZW (ROH is by far the best wrestling federation out there today) one thing I don't agree with is that you want wrestling to rise in popularity because there is a problem with that, and that is the wrestling feds don't know how to attract a larger audience. Case in point is Kevin Federline, It was WWE writer Brian Gerwitz idea to get him to play a mini feud with John Cena in order to gain some mainstream appeal, yet all it did was ostracize actual wrestling fans, I agree that wrestling is great the story lines and superstars have such great potential, however the product delivered from the WWE has been trying its hardest to appeal to larger audiences while straying from actual wrestling. They need to find a way to get a larger audience yet still have 2 hours of wrestling rather than 1 hour and thirty minutes of skits and promos, 20 minutes of mediocre wrestling spread out between 4 matches, and 8 minutes of a decent main event. That is not recipie for success, and neither is having a rosie vs donald skit take up 20 minutes of air time and then send a press release to every news station hoping that raw becomes the water cooler talk when it actually just becomes a reason for fans to switch off.

You also mention that smackdown has the capability to reach the largest audience, yet it only gets an average rating of 2.7 a week.

and I'm adding a little more to this since the first responder to your question Jeff made an idiotic statement, the only 40 or 50 year old has-been on TNA that I know of is Scott Steiner, big poppa pump sure he may be a has been, but he's the only one, everyone else on the roster serves a purpose, and as for saying the rest of their roster wouldn't make it onto the WWE, you're dead wrong, AJ Styles, Senshi, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Paul London, CM Punk, and Jay Lethal, while they were all in Ring of Honor they were the men who vince himself said "Hire at any means necisarry" He only go London and Punk onto his roster because the other wrestlers preferred TNA's style. Don't bad mouth a company if you know absolutely nothing about the wrestling buisness.

Everyone single one of you are complete idiots...are you kidding me WWE? What a load of crap! What actual moves do any of them do????? Beside RVD??? Poor guy needs to get his head straight and go to TNA. Some of you actually claimed to have watched TNA, and I honestly don't believe it...The only person that is in their 40s on TNA is jerry lynn and he is hell of alot better then any of those ***** on WWE! If you wanted TNA you could actually see a real match! They don't just do kick, punch, big ol body slam! OOO can't forget that GREAT STFU! What the hell is that crap ????? For any of you real TNA fans....WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT NO, WE AINT GONNA TAKE IT, WERE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!! Why watch crap wrestling when you know there is a whole lot better out there, any of you WWE fans please take out the time and watch what some of these moves these guys can actually do better then any of that crap you are watching what a waste of time!
I do agree with you on a lot of points. However, your utopia-like concept of competion is likely to never take place because Vince McMahon hates Jeff Jarrett and vice versa. Also, both guys have too much of an ego to help each other out all because of one little spat they had in 1999. Plus now it seems like TNA thinks they're better than WWE by "giving their fans what they want." TNA continually mocks WWE week in week out and encourages their fans to do the same. If I know Vince McMahon he won't forgive that or support their product ever. In fact he doesn't even acknowledge they exist because he knows "when in doubt, buy them out." Adn I'm pretty sure WWE fans are sick and tired of hearing the same crap from TNA fans, so they bite back. So I hope I answered your question. I, myself am a WWE and TNA fan.
I enjoy both tna and wwe. Its entertainment i dont see why people get all weird and **** over it.Its either you like it or you dont, I am not going to be mad if you dont lie both of them,thats just silly
i agree wit you it annoys me when tna or wwe fans say when you dont watch the other show or say the other show sucks that you are not a real wrestling fan i watch both and i enjoy both instead of nitpicking on the shows faults
i am the number ONE fan of wwe,and i hate TNA, the reason why they hate each other is TNA is FAAAAAAKKE WWE is

4 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!...
because stone cold said so!!!!
I would be more willing to give TNA a chance, if they didn't have this thing about having their ExWWE people bash WWE. They should just stick to what they have going for them and understand that WWE is way ahead of them.
It's just like everything else. I like Pepsi I hate Coke. I like the Dodgers, I hate the Giants, I like Nike, I hate Reebok, I like Chevys I hate Fords, I like WWE, I hate TNA
Well for starters i like both shows. I think they are both excellent but to answer the question i think TNA fans hate WWE fans cause the TNA is trying to establish itself as a major wrestling brand so naturally TNA fans are gonna support it and feel that one day the organization could possibly become better than the WWE.

On the WWE side the fans feel that TNA fans are supporting a bunch of has beens that coulden't cut it in the WWE eather cause of lack of talent or they coulden't handle the hectic travel schedule the WWE wrestlers have to go through plus it ticks them off to actually see former WWE talent actually thriving in a smaller organization like Christian, Rhyno, Gail Kim, Christie Hemmie, Jeff Jerret ect ect.. in the WWE they all sucked and the fans never liked them much but now in TNA they are like over night success stories basically..not to mention TNA was able to do what WWE coulden't and that was to sign Sting.. plus all the rumors that when Jericho returns he might defect and go there.
Lol I thought that vince owned tna since I saw christian, gail kim %26amp; kurt angle go on it.

I thought it was like a minor league of pro wrestling. Guess not.
It's not the "regular" fans that hate each other (I watch all the wrestling shows, WWE and TNA... I don't hate myself either). The hate comes from what you can expect to find in any area where there are competing choices, namely a subset of people that are polarized so much for choice "X" that they shun "Y" because it is simply "not X" and can't take the view of someone else and see what another person could like about "Y" and not like about "X".

So whether the polarized opinion is formed by an informed personal preference (tried it, didn't like it) or uninformed choice (I won't like it, so no need to even try it)... you'll have the polarized people taking a very vocal stance in favor of "X" and slamming "Y", and will react negatively to any criticism of "X" even if valid, and ignore anything positive about "Y", even if valid.

However, I think most fans are moderate, they can see the good and bad with WWE and TNA and can comment on both aspects of either promotion, and aren't out to troll and ask questions just to provoke the opposing view.

Al Horford!?

I was wondering if anyone else thinks that Al Horford is a complete a$$h*** first of all what he did to TJ Ford in the begining of the season, that was completly uncalled for an intentional then tonight (game 3 celtics vs hawks) paul peirce gets tripped up and fell and Al Horford decides to go up in his face and talk sh*t when they were up by 12 with 20 seconds left or whatever. I am a celtics fan and dont think I'm saying all this because I'm mad they lost... I had respect for the guy when he came into the NBA, until he hit TJ Ford like that and then when I saw him talk sh*t to a veteran on my team I just lost it. A rookie should know to keep his mouth shut and I hope Johnson and Bibby teach him that in the locker room tonight. The guy can play basketball dont get me wrong but he has not earned the respect from the fans or any of the players to be doing these types of things. I just think he if way to cocky to be doing this... I was wondering if anyone else feels this way about him?

Al Horford!?nba news

As a semi Hawks fan, I thought it was idiotic for Horford to say that. (He said that's right mother ****** sit the **** down.) the celtics will bring the series to a whole other level now. its personal. you just don't say that to someone who has been stabbed before. pierce could kill him on and off the basketball court. the hawks won't win another game, unfortunately.

Al Horford!?nba all star game ,nba teams

eh how bout you a complete "a$$h***" Al Horford is kewl.
Al Hortford is Teh Loss, the next Stephon Marbury.
I don't really agree with you, I like him
uncalled for, that foul was an accident, he even apologized afterwards. do you even watch basketball games, the players are always talking down to each other. what do you mean he hasn't earned respect from the fans, did you see the signs, or were you just in your own little boston world upset that your team lost. you are saying this because they lost because if he did that and they were losing, you wouldn't be on here ranting like a child. so no, you're the only one who thinks he is cocky, okay.
Yeah you are hatin on Horford. I can understand why though, Im a Magic fan and I hate on Chris Bosh, Jose Calderon, Carlos Delfino, and pretty much a bunch of the other FLOPPING ******* on the Raptors. I cannot believe how often refs get fooled by the flop, they need to make it a non-call or a foul on them for flopping. Its all of the European players that have brought that Sh** to America and the NBA.

Anyways, Horford is young and he does seem to overly celebrate on some shots, ala Dennis Rodman, lol, but thats just his way of firing himself up. I dont remember him ever doing that when he was at Florida in college.

Im sure after the series (when the Celts win 4-1) you will feel better about him.
Whatever hater, AL HORFORD ROXZ!!!

The thing with TJ Ford was an accident, your probably some pathetic boston fan that is looking for an excuse to why you guys lost so you blame AL.

Let me ask you this it was also a cheap shot when in the last game Sam Cassel almost poked out Josh Smiths eye.

Sheesh you guys lost get over it!!!

HE hasn't earned respect from the fans........puh-leaze did you not see the:

"ATL LOVES Horford" sign

OR the:

Got Horford signs"

AL HORFORD IS ROY!!!!!!!!!

HAWKS ????

Oops sorry, but still he might be a little of a big mouth, but he is just a rookie, he will learn.
He just said in an interview that it was a "spur of the moment" thing, just a spontaneous outburst because of the situation. He wasn't trying to show up Pierce, he just got caught up in his emotions. Horford is not a thug, the foul on Ford was unfortunate, but not intentional and do you not remember he SPENT THE NIGHT with him in the hospital?

AL4ROY!

Go Hawks! See you for game 4!

No Love for Oakland???

Why do Oakland teams get no respect??? The Raiders, the A's , and The Warriors...between them they have 3 superbowls, 9 World Series, and 3 NBA championships (and 7 of those titles were actually won in OAKLAND)...yet the media never gives them any kind of credit whatsoever. I realize that the Raiders are going through tough times right now...and the A's...well it's gonna be a long season...but the Warriors have turned their fortunes around lately, and they still get nothing but hated on...I mean hell...The City of Oakland has won more pro sports championships than the entire STATE of Texas has...yet they get nothing but hate and ridicule from the media and alot of ignorant fans refuse to give them any kind of credit...what exactly is the reason for that???

No Love for Oakland???nba tv

Some good points there. I don't think it's just Oakland alone, many out there just don't care about the West Coast in general, and California teams in particular - how many times have you heard the sports media refer to the region as the Left Coast?

No Love for Oakland???nba dunks ,nba teams

You got that right, friend. Alot of Eastern snobbery exits in the media, though they'll never admit it. Report It


WHEN THE RAIDERS PICK UP VICK IN A FEW YEARS I WILL RESPECT THEM!!! free vick! miami sucks and so do the raiders!
because right now, all of those teams suck
Please tell me you did NOT just use the words "ignorant fans" when discussing Oakland sports teams...

...the irony is too thick!!!!!
I respect the A's and Warriors... not the Raiders
How do the fans in Oakland treat their teams? That's the big question...who cares if some hill-jack from the great state of Texas downgrades your boys? Downgrade his and call it a draw...I mean, really, would you think it a plus if everybody in the country got behind Oakland - no matter what the sport - instead of rooting their own hometown heroes??? Where's the rivalry in that? It's a lot more fun for me when somebody says something bad about Cincy (at least in this forum) because you can pull out your defensive guns and explain why your town/team is great to you!

What is the media's obsession with Kobe Byrant?

He's a relic of an era where everyone obsessed about the next Jordan. He's not the next Jordan, he's a copycat punk who's obsessed with living up to the hype. Sure, he's having a great season, but believe me, I don't think he's as valuable as people think. He's not worthy of the MVP when it clearly should go to either Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups or someone else. In fact, why argue, Garnett definitely earned it, Paul is definitely second, why give it to that idiot Kobe? Because he plays like Jordan? Whatever. I see what the NBA's priorities are. Why not use that cloning technology and make another Michael if you want him back so bad.

What is the media's obsession with Kobe Byrant?basketball jerseys ,nba teams

Just another pissed off Laker hater! The numbers don't lie, look at his stats...25 points per game career average 5+ rebounds and 5+ assists for his career and he's played close to 900 games and he's not even 30 years old yet. Plus his first two years in LA, he played sparingly (less than 15 minutes per game). We all know he is the games most prolific scorer, but his defense is something that's not talked about enough because of how great his offensive game is. Also, nutrition, athleticism, and sports science have improved the quality of athletes since Jordan's era. Guys like Craig Ehlo were guarding Jordan. Look at the athletes that guard Kobe?
Luna, i bet you just read one article about kobe, which is positive issue..,
It seems like your obsessed with him also for even asking a question like this. Kobe is in the conversation, but CP3 should and probably will get it. KG is on a team where pierce could get consideration also.
I so agree with you. he is much over rated, over hyped, over glorified, and gets way too much print. He is NOT MVP material. The media makes him out to be a martyr or something, and that he deserves the award. MVP is most valuable to hsi team. Was he MVP when Lakers had won just 40 games? What si the difference from that season and this? I will tell you. It sure isnt due to Kobe. He was and is The Lakers, regrettably. His team, supporting cast this season, if anything shoudl be MVP, for putting up with his nonsense, and finally getting touches. That is why they won all these agmes, not cause of him, cause then Lakers woudl win 60 every season. The media over plays everything regarding him, and that is why he will get the award, not cause he deserves it. As for playing like Jordan, hes far from it, All KObe does and can do is score and score and score. No defense, cant play all sides of the ball, and is completely selfish. OK I had enough speaking about that creep. Peace.
If you knew anything you would know that the media hates Kobe you stupid dumbass piece of ****!

Many writers are writing articles saying that no matter what he does something will stop Kobe from getting the MVP because he is hated by too many writers/Media.

Saying that he will never get MVP simply because he is Kobe Bryant and a "bad" image for the NBA.
It's not that the media think he is worthy is more that they just figure he is due from his contribution to the league. Whether you like him or not if you weren't to give this guys an MVP for his entire career would be a travesty. Not saying its fair, but it just kind of proves that the NBA MVP award is nothing more than a popularity contest.

When two of your main arguements are 1.) well those others guys are really young they will definitely get more (WIlliams, Paul, Lebron) . . . . or 2.) He's already won an MVP (Garnett) can you really expect anything more?
Who is KOBE BYRANT? There is no BYRANT in the NBA.
He's the closest to Jordan, cause he wants to be like him. And people need to stop saying "OMG this guy going to be the next michael jordan" No one will be, that's what they say about Vince and now Vince is Vince probably the best dunker, not as the next michael jordan anymore.
I'm sorry. I must have read what you said incorrectly. You just said the media is obsessed with kobe bryant. What shows have you been watching? Every other lepussy dunk is on the highlight reel. They media hails him as the second coming of Jesus. Kobe might not win MVP because the media is not obsessed with him. You are too stupid to even live if you think like you wrote.
Thank you! But why did you put Chauncy over LeBron in that list? I know Chauncy's good but LeBron has to be over him in MVP discussion.

Well said my friend!
Because he's the closest thing to Jordan. Not nearly as good but closest. Can't argue it, man. He's a freak. lol
The media Obsessed with who ...Kobe ..??? the media and Kobe ..you kidding me ..Dude they are in love with cp3 and bron and kg ... KG since the tranin camp ..bron is always the golden child ..and cp3 they fallen in love with him since the all star break ...and you are telling me they are obsessed with Kobe ..you barley know what Ur talkin about !
Correction LeHYPE - Jordan has ONE playoff win without Pippen. LMFAO!!!
Kobe Sucks in Media, because he SUCKS! off the court and on.

Are all people rooting for CP3 like this guy?

Andre in Canada: I've been patient all season, but it's getting down to the wire and I'm starting to worry that the biggest atrocity in league history is about to take place. Chris Paul is the MVP of the league...no ifs, ands, buts or Bryants! If CP4 doesn't get MVP then I'm personally going to repo all previous MVP awards and write the whole thing off as a farce. CP44MVP! End of story.

lol, go to NBA.com and read race to MVP.

I know all LeBrick fans are like this, they hear LeBron in the media so they root for LB24,lol

Are all people rooting for CP3 like this guy?basketball jerseys

Who is CP4, the guy from Canada must be confusing Chris Bosh with Chris Paul. Canadians, what can you do about it right?

Are all people rooting for CP3 like this guy?nba 08 ,nba teams

It's actually CP3

I think he deserves it, but then again so does kobe...
i honestly, stopped caring after kobe didnt win in 02-03

when he put up jordan like numbers

as long as the kick *** in the post season, i dont give a sh!t. :]
Nope, real fans know his nickname is CP3 anyways.
I went to see CP3 play a couple of weeks ago, he almost broke Kobe's ankles twice in the same drive. Kobe had to call time out to get his jock off the court!! You are right CP# for MVP!!Anything else would be uncivilized!
Wow, so they got the number wrong. That actually makes them dumber than the Kobe fans, I didn't think that was possible.

Edit: What if Andre in Canada=Yo Mama? Now that would be great.
I think the MVP will got to Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul. Who ever has the best team record in the West will win the MVP.

I have lived in the Seattle, WA area since 1992 and I'm very unhappy that it appears the Sonics

Oklahoma City either next season or in 2010. I am very upset that local billionaires haven't stepped in, like Microsoft's Steve Balmer, Bill Gates or Paul Allen to save the day and buy the franchise back from Clay Bennett, or do something to save the Sonics, who have been in Seattle since 1967. It is really a shame that the city will only be left with the Mariners and the Seahawks. The Key Arena, where the Sonics currently play, is a nice arena, seating 17,000, but is the smallest arena in the NBA and is outdated, built in 1962, but renovated in 1995. I guess the Sonics lose like 20 million a year or something, and the city doesn't want to put another 100-200 million into the Key to renovate it again, when they are still paying on the first renovation, and the city doesn't want to build another arena. That's why I'm saying, one of the high-tech billionaires should save the day. Like Superman. What do you think?

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?

According to SportingNews.com

SAN ANTONIO -- The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs acquired guard Vassilis Spanoulis from the Houston Rockets for center Jackie Butler and the draft rights to Luis Scola.

The Spurs will also get the Rockets' second-round pick in 2009, San Antonio said in a statement Thursday night.

Spanoulis, who averaged 2.7 points in 31 games as a rookie last year, has said he didn't want to return to the Rockets because he was homesick and wanted to remain in his native Greece.

Butler played in 11 games for the Spurs last year, averaging 3.7 points.

Scola averaged 15.5 points, 5.9 rebound and 2.2 assists for Tau Ceramica in the Euroleague this season.

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?nba

i think that this is a good move for the spurs, i think it will help in developing there team even more in the long run as i believe that spanoulis will want to play for spurs and will be a very successful player...

i don't think that it was such a good move for Houston compared to what spurs are getting out of the deal....

therefore my thought on this is that it is good for spurs but bad for rockets in the long run as i think spanoulis will move to play with spurs as the NBA is the greatest league in the world and he will know that, and will want to gain success

The Spurs just signed Spanoulis in exchange for Jackie Butler? Your thoughts?nhl ,nba teams

Unless Spanoulis just pretend to be homesick then this signing is a big bust.

If Spanoulis decided to play, then WOW.
Just as a note: The Spurs haven't signed Spanoulis, he was already under contract, signed by the Rockets last year with another year left on his contract. They traded for his contract, giving up the rights to Luis Scola, who also doesn't want to play here, and Jackie Butler, who has a cool looking beard, but won't really be noticed as missing from the NBA champs. Butler will help as a backup in Houston, but is not a future star by any means, and he can probably be replaced by the second rounder the Spurs are getting next year.

My guess is the Spurs will let Spanoulis out of his contract for future considerations from some European team, such as a lower buyout price for one of the other players in Europe that haven't come over here yet. Possibly Robertas Javtokas, who was playing for a Greek team, Panathinaikos, last I heard.
BEING GREEK MYSELF I CAN TELL YOU THIS...IF SPANOULIS REALLY WANTED TO STAY IN GREECE,THEN THE SPURS MADE A BIG MISTAKE FOR SIGNING HIM.

HE WILL NOT BE PRODUCTIVE,HE WILL PLAY JUST TO PICK UP HIS CHECK.HE WILL BECOME HOMESICK VERY FAST AND WILL BE A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.......BIG MISTAKE...BIG
butler didn't contribute much to the spurs campaign last season so i think it's a good move. spanoulis is a good player a good back-up for bruce bowen since there are no legitimate small forwards aside from bowen.

Going down 3 and 0 in the NHL Playoffs?

If San Jose Colorado and or the Rangers go down 3 games to 0 which one has the best chance at coming back to win it all?

Or do you think the NBA Phoenix Suns have a better chance at coming back to win it all from 3 to 0 down than those teams in hockey?

Right now Im pissed that the Suns are still alive since as a Coyotes fan I want by next season to have the Coyotes as the talk of the state than the collasping Suns. Provided the Dbacks have a bad playoff. Yes the Coyotes were the big thing in AZ when they were winning in the later 90s and the Suns were losers. I rather see any of those hockey teams do it but hopefully don't go down 3 to 0 but all that I fear now seems inevitable.

Your thoughts

Going down 3 and 0 in the NHL Playoffs?nba playoff

I would definitely say the Rangers. And I think the Suns are done.

Going down 3 and 0 in the NHL Playoffs?nba stats ,nba teams

I'd have to say Rangers.

SJ is against a very confident Dallas squad that knows how to control the puck effectively and Turco has been remarkable.

Colorado has faced a Detroit team that has dominated the series and are feeling even better with Osgood in net.

Rangers are against a young Pittsburgh squad that scores goals as easily as they can give them up. Lundqvist has been the best goalie of these 3 teams and if your goalie is up to the task, then you certainly stand a better shot than one thats not.
Of those 3 teams, I think the Rangers have the best chance, followed VERY closely by the Sharks. The Avalanche are the most overmatched, Dallas is hot but beatable, and the Rangers are so evenly matched with Pittsburgh that I see this as a series where the home team wins on home ice except that Lundqvist steals one for the Blueshirts.
if the rangers hit a scoring run, they would be the most likely, lundqvist is playing exceptional, their scoring is missing and if they start to score, they will be very tough to beat

next, probably the avs, if they develop more hate, they will want it more going to 3-0, and could possibly come back

sorry san jose, but not have you lost both ur home games, the stars have some good veterens, and they are a well rounded team
Avs would have had a better shot if they weren't missing a major part of their team. Forsberg, Hannan, and Wolski were hurt and out for Game 2, and Theodore was sick again with the flu and was pulled a second time. I still don't get why the coaches started Theodore in for game 2 when Budaj played well in the first game and didn't let anything in. why have a back-up goalie if you don't trust him when your #1 is not playing well???
I would think San Jose would have the best chance. I also think if the Rangers go down 3-0 then they are going to lose the series, they may take it to 5 but I think if they go down 3-0 then it will be over.
I say the suns, I love Nash cuss hes from my city, and I cant stand the rapping french fool plus Oneal needs to make the trade look worth while,,,,,,as 4 hockey I dont see any chances of any team coming back to win
Rangers seem to be playing the best of the three . San Jose Second ..Cause of the goaltender primarily .
Not one of them would have any chance of coming back from 3-0
