I like this idea too.

And with NEW LEVELS~! I read about it in some magazine at Wal-Mart. I think it's set for winter, but don't quote me on that. Rest assure, though, that I will run out and buy it the minute it hits the stands. Also, if you haven't heard (but you probably have, it was in the June issue of Game Informer), there will be a new Mario Kart game released this winter, called Mario Kart Double Dash. You can play it with up to 8 players (I don't know how anyone could get eight people together to play Mario Kart, though), but you need two TVs and two Gamecubes linked together for that. There are two players in the cart, and it seems a lot more challenging than the other MK games.

There *are* new levels and new powerups in the game, but you have to use the E-cards to get them. The September GameNOW magazine is my source, and there are a couple screenshots of new levels in the magazine as well.

Actually, it was Chucky *Brown* who played for 12 teams. Person only played for five teams.

I've seen the last few days on the Best Damn Sports Show Period, and they've said that the reason Jordan was unable to buy the Bucks was because he wanted to move them to Las Vegas. Thoughts?

Okay I guess Best *didn't* sign with the Celtics after all, and actually has now signed a one-year deal with the Mavericks for the veterans' minimum. SWERVE~!

This is from my paper in Anderson (Indiana, not Pennsylvania). This guy writes some good columns that I've wanted to post here, but haven't really got around to it. We should be glad Iverson represents our country By Mike Beas Earlier this week the United States began fighting for its Olympic basketball life at the FIBA Americas Olympic qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico. This, of course, wouldn't be necessary had the US not laid a sixth-place eggat last summer's forgettable World Championships in Indianapolis. That US squad didn't include Allen Iverson: This one does. Arguably the world's premier roundball talent not standing 6-1 or taller, the 6-foot, 165-pounds-soaking-wet Iverson is chomping at the bit to lead his country to Olympic gold in Athens in 2004. He's smiling. Engaging. A kid let loose in a hoops candy store. And yet there are those who believe Iverson shouldn't represent the United States because, shall we say, he's not an accurate representation of what our country is about. Oh, really? Let's delve a bit deeper. * Iverson for all 28 years of his life has been a resident of this country. We could even go as far as saying he's more American than his US qualifying team teammates due to the fact he was born and raised in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which helped kick off this 50 states thing all those years ago. * Those cornrows, tattoos and 'do rags - sorry to break it to you, folks, but Iverson didn't exactly corner the market on these street-motivated methods of self-expression. They were here long before he arrived and will be here long after he launches his final 3-pointer. * Our Olympic coach is none other than Larry Brown, the 62-year-old nomad for whom Iverson played for six seasons in Philadelphia. Iverson knows Brown's system and expectations better than anyone. Heck, he may know Brown better than anyone - the obvious exception being, of course, Mrs. Brown. The United States of America long has encouraged its reputation as the ultimate melting pot, comprised of people of various skin colors, religions, political beliefs and nationalities. Like it or not, Iverson is one of ours, so be careful who you're looking to kick to the curb. Especially if that guy possesses a first step quicker than Roseanne after someone yells "dinner." This is just my opinion, but the ultimate starting five against the rest of the globe would be Iverson at point guard, Kobe Bryant at the 2-guard, Shaquille O'Neal in the post and Tim Duncan and the Indiana Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal at the forwards. Kobe won't be there for reasons well-publicized and Shaq is spending his off-season months in the weightroom sweating off the cupcake-created spare tire that in 2002-03 slowed down the Los Angeles Lakers' bid for another NBA crown. But we still have Duncan, Jermaine O'Neal, Ray Allen, etc. And we have Allen Iverson. Guaranteed that a year from now you'll be glad we do. What do *you* guys think?

Apparently Travis Best is looking at possibly signing with Dallas, even though I *swore* I heard about him signing with the Celtics.

I tape the Thursday night NBA game and Fanatic series every week.

Not only did he get his ankle fixed, he also got his TEETH fixed~! At least that's what I heard on the Best Damn Sports Show.

As a result of his mother's death, Karl Malone has pulled off the team, and Kemp lite...oops, I mean Kenyon Martin...will be his replacement. I guess Abdur-Rahim, Jamison, Ben Wallace, Mashburn, Marion, Stackhouse and Rashard Lewis all fell into a coma or something. Discuss.

The Bulls *will* sign Gill and let Bagaric leave.

Kobe, assuming he doesn't go to jail.

Hehe.

Meniere's disease. The magazine I have said he had lost 60% of his hearing by the time he was diagnosed, then he cut out salts, fried foods and some seafood from his diet and most of the hearing returned.

Not sure about that. I just heard them talking about it a little bit during one of the Rockets/Lakers games, they said he cut fried foods out of his diet and that helped it. He may get treatment in the offseason though.

Add another arrest to the list...Kwame Brown. He was arrested on DUI charges, with a blood alcohol level of about twice the normal limit, and the cops found an emty container. I heard this on FSN.

The disease is treatable, and if I recall he played all 82 games last season. He does still have it and always will, but it shouldn't keep him from playing.

Fuck Fuck Fuckety Fuck. //Cartman

On a side note, I have no problems with Bibby being on the team, but where's STEVE FRANCIS' spot??

They refer to the Olympic team as the Men's senior national team sometimes. Malone is still playing in the olympics though. I never heard about this...when did it happen? If that's their reason for keeping him off...and yet they picked KENYON MARTIN instead...that makes no frickin' sense at all.

Kendall Gill may be signing with the Bulls.

That was wrong Caboose... There wasn't one rhyme in that whole thing.

No.
