Dangerous A

It was that damned NBA kicking off with 4 games that did it, I tells ya!

Baron has tweaked his hamstring and may not play versus Utah on Friday. Still, the Warriors played well in the second half even without Davis. The Hawks were putting the scare there for a half though and they'll cause matchup problems some nights because they have a bunch of tweeners who are all athletic and long. However, they won't matchup well most nights, meaning they'll still be on the losing end most games. Still, should be fun to watch. I still don't understand having Joe Johnson as a starting PG. While Ty Lue isn't the answer, he's a better option in the backcourt setting Joe Johnson up.

I agree. The Nuggets had chances to put the game away and didn't. There were costly turnovers and missed free throws. I just can't believe some of the calls down the stretch, specifically the phantom Carmelo offensive foul call. He had both hands on the ball, so I don't know how he hooked him and his defender didn't hit the floor.

Don't forget about the supposed "block" Kobe did on Camby while he was going to the hoop, although Andre Miller was there to put the shot back in. On the replay, that was a fucking foul. Still, Kobe gets away with murder in crunch time. Nice to see there isn't any rust on the part of the officials in regards to the "superstar" treatment of Kobe.

I do believe so. They will go up or down, depending on how the player is performing.

I figured the Kings would get beat the Rockets tonight, but at least they looked a little better offensively. Bibby looks to have put on some muscle mass lately and it seems to be slowing him down. I still hate the effort for loose balls and shit, so the Kings better buckle down here very soon and start getting in gear. Warriors are getting thoroughly out hustled by the Hawks right now. Troy Murphy is the only guy playing and the Warriors backcourt is playing like the Kings backcourt last night, going 6-23 at the half. Also, the Warriors have 17 turnovers with 9 minutes to go in the THIRD QUARTER! Lakers and Nuggets is pretty close, but very sloppy by both teams.

Spike wants to get behind TNA because it gets all the ad revenue for Impact. Beating WWE is probrably also on their minds, but money is and should be the driving force here.

Brian is all over it. The better condition you are in, the more you can (and should) eat. You just have to be mindful of what you eat and how you excercise is all.

ESPN needs to make the values harder, here is my lineup... PG Steve Nash SG Kobe Bryant SF Lamar Odom PF Jermaine O'Neal C Shaquille O'Neal Cch Lakers

I guess, but to me that's a stretch. He said "people". He didn't say "Bush responded the best way they can". He said "people", which could mean anyone who responded to the disaster- celebrities, athletes, musicians, government officials, etc. I guess he needs to single out Bush for me to consider the story being 50 praises Bush.

I think the Lakers will do fine on the road since Denver had to play in SA last night. Not saying they'll win, but they'll look good. Kwame is a question mark going into tonight though with a sprained thumb.

Speaking of Prime Time, TNA and Spike have announced 2 more PT specials, from Meltz...

I fail to see where 50 "praises Bush" in the article. He disagrees with Kanye about Katrina sure, but that doesn't automatically mean it's praising Bush. I'm no 50 fan, but this story looks much ado about nothing. It's the AP trying to stir up shit and I hope Kanye and 50 have enough sense to do a sit down and tell each other what's up.

Add to that the potential disaster of the upcoming WWE Films and WWE could be looking at some substantial money losses in the next year, year and a half. Guess that's why they are going to be keeping all that extra loose cash around, eh? (for those not in the know, at the quarterly investors meetings, investors constantly ask why WWE keeps an exorbitant amount of cash on hand as opposed to investing it)

If I were TNA, I'd want a two hour show more than a head to head spot like Chris said. The break neck pace of their saturday shows is gonna wear thin soon here and they need to slow down a smidge, at the same time, two hours give them the chance to get more guys and storylines over to help sell ppv's, since that is a huge revenue stream for them since Spike gets the ad rev.

Boneless, skinless, marinated chicken breasts are the way to go. Get a Foreman grill if you don't already have one. Takes 5 minutes to heat up and 7 minutes to thoroughly grill a decent sized chicken breast. Also, try to eat leaner cuts of beef. Just a personal preference, but Turkey Burgers aren't as bad as they sound and they have a lot less fat to them. Protein shakes and bars are ok, but if you can get real food, get it.

Looks like Scoop Jackson from ESPN's Page Two isn't too thrilled with Phil Jackson's recent comments... Whoa. Someone has a beef with the Zen Master.

I'd start out simple at first. You don't want to fall into the trap of burning out after only a few weight workouts. Also, don't go for total heavyweights either. Wait about a month or so. I'd start out simple.. Chest Flat bench dumbell presses, 2 sets, 12-15 reps Incline Dumbell presses, 2 sets, 12-15 reps Back Lat Pulldowns, 2 sets, 12-15 reps chinups or assisted chinups, 2 sets, 10-12 reps Triceps Dumbell kickbacks, 2 sets, 10-12 reps skull crushers, 2 sets, 12-14 reps Biceps Alternating dumbell curls, 2 sets, 12-15 reps preacher curls, 2 sets, 10-12 reps Shoulders Arnold presses, 2 sets, 10-12 reps Shoulder machine preses, 2 sets, 10-12 reps Legs Squats, 2 sets, 10-12 reps calf raises, 2 sets, 10-12 reps Since you are still doing jogging and cardio, you don't have to hit the legs so much and you won't get worn down so bad. I would do 2 body parts a day on the 3 days you plan on lifting. I'd do this for about a month. As you get comfortable, you can increase sets, reps, and weight. This is what I'd recommend for a beginner.

You got me by 3 points, Cuban. I'm waiting for the site to update before making picks for tommorrow.

If you want to get technical, he WAS a billionaire upon the company going public. Since then, there has been the XFL debacle and enough losses throughout the last 4 years that they have now gone from skimming the billion dollar mark to almost half of that. They have made profit the last several quarters cutting corners and doing a lot of overseas tours, but there were a lot of money losses to where yes, Vince is still very rich, just not nearly as rich as he was before 2001.

I didn't watch the show, but came across this blip... Why was Vince mad at Bischoff? Doesn't he remember he OWNS both brands? Why would he care if Bischoff or Teddy won or lost?

That Pho/Dal game made me forget the awful Kings first night outing. I just love this game. Barkley made some good points in post game. The Mavs can't feel good about this because they had to come back from 17 down and go to double OT to beat a team that is missing 3 out of 4 of it's best players from last year and it's best big man on the team.

Fuck em. I'm in it (along with 2 others) League is TSM Fantasy Freaks if anyone is still interested. Here is my lineup for tonight PG Mike Bibby SG Allen Iverson SF Dirk Nowitzki PF Tim Duncan C Kurt Thomas Cch Hornets Tommorrow PG Baron Davis SG LeBron James SF Kevin Garnett PF Dwight Howard C Emeka Okafor Cch Utah

Fuckin Kings. Way to come out and play like complete and total pussies. I know it's only the first game, but it's the Hornets. The Kings are playing like they are still in preseason mode and there is zero energy and no execution whatsoever. I'm still banking at the end of the season, the Kings will have a better record than the Hornets.

I would never buy a wrestling show based off of an announcer. I need a good show to get my money, not some guy talking. Sort of like how I'll never tune into a game just to hear the announcers calling the game.
