The Firm and I raided ESPN Zone for Colts vs Bears. I wore my Devin Hester jersey. The Indy fans didn't really feel me when I walked out drunk George Jefferson style
All in all it was a good weekend. Back to work 6am tomorrow. Gnight!
Jimmy Kimmel and Barack Obama talk about the Kobe vs. Celtics series. Transcript:
Jimmy: Have you been watching the NBA Finals?
Obama: I have
Jimmy: I have to ask you who you're rooting for if anyone?
Obama: I just want a good series. I'm a Bulls fan obviously coming from Chicago. I just wanna see good series. I gotta admit I did not anticipate Boston manhandling the Lakers like that
Jimmy: Will your health care plan cover fake injuries like the one Paul Pierce keeps having? Because it seems like something needs to be done about that
Obama: I tell you what, whatever injury he had he should try to get another one because he played great in Game 4
Jimmy: You're big on hope; do the Lakers have any remaining in this series?
Obama: Look Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world and is basically unstoppable when his game is on. But right now the Celtics are playing better team ball. The bench of the Celtics is playing better a lot than the Lakers bench right now which I think a lot of people are surprised by
Jimmy: Are you at all worried Senator that if the Lakers do come back that'll it might encourage Hillary to come back to?
Lol @ the last question
Also, his teammate Al Gore is announcing his support for Young Barack tonight. Make sure you check it out. His endorsement letter is below:
from Al Gore
to Sickamore date Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 8:04 PM subject My endorsement
Dear Friend,
Make a donation A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.
That's why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.
With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.
If you've already contributed to this campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution right now. If you haven't, please take the next step and own a piece of this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.
We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president, and it begins by making a contribution to this campaign today.
Thank you for joining me,
Al Gore
LIVE TONIGHT -- 8:30 p.m. EDT: Watch streaming video of Al Gore and Barack Obama at a rally in Detroit, Michigan:
8:31pm Oh you thought you aint goin see me???!?!?!
8:35pm They keep playing this racist Boston song from The Departed: Dropkick Murphy's - Shipping Up To Boston. Can't front though, it's one of my favorite movies. Especially Mark Wahlberg's character. "I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy!"
8:47pm Mark Jackson + Jeff Van Gundy = The Best Live Announcer Team in The NBA
8:54pm ASHANTI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Who's doing booking for The Lakers? We need inspiration! Not Ja Rule's Cher
8:59pm Kobe should get this 'chip on GP just off of the fact Vladimir Radmanovic is the worst starter in the NBA. Did you know he makes the 4th most ($5,632,200) on the Lakers after Kobe ($19,490,625), Lamar ($13,248,596) and Gasol ($13,735,000)?
9:16pm Zohan is playing big this quarter. I think he's deathly afraid of Powe, Garnett and Brown though. KOBBBBBEEE for 3! Someone's dropping 82 tonight!
9:24pmMuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah (evil laughter). Consider this record broken!
9:40pm Official 1st Quarter Recap: 9:44pm This is why the Lakers need a tough guy. Someone to punch Pierce in the face. Elbow to the throat. he's the only one keeping these guys alive. if this was teh old school, they would've sent Turiaf off teh bench in a suicide closeline mission Raja Bell style. You see that pyscho layup? Phil Jackson needs to label Pierce "food". Wheelchair forreal
9:56pm Lakers Subconscious: "Kobe hit four 3's. Let's stop giving the best player in the world the ball and let these Euro guys shoot." WTF?!?!?!?! We need a intervention and I know the perfect guy for it
10:13pm You cannot stop Lamar Odom you can only hope to contain him!!! L-O! DEY KNO! L-O! DEY KNOW! L-O...
10:17pm 2nd Quarter Recap: It's all about the 3rd! Kobe needs to take at least 15 more shots. In the meantime, enjoy the Thank God Im Famous halftime show sponsored by GoOldHead.com
10:40pm I've never seen a guard's talent get disrespected as much as Rondo. Forget leaving him open for the jumper, they'll give him the lane! And he still loses the ball! He's like the '08 Smush Parker. I can't see him making it past next year's all-star game in a Celtic uniform
10:50pm It's looking a little Memphis, I can't lie. We're up by 1 but it feels like Kob's down by 10. The Lakers are scared to take it to the whole. I'd like to see what Dwayne Wade averages against the Celts. You gotta just go right to the whole with all your muscle. Need young late 80's Baby energy. 80s Baby toughness. Kobe needs Bynum
10:55pm Rajon Fredo is the dumbest player alive. Did you see that horrible 3 point play? He might as well be a Laker and have the Celts playing 4 on 6 everytime
11:05pm Kobe got thru the 3rd Quarter. Now I just need him to hit a freakin shot. I'm tired of them playing like a Euro league team. Three point brick after 3 point brick. I don't care if Kobe has 4 fouls. GO TO THE HOLE!!! He's playing like Andy Stitzer
11:12pm 3rd Quarter Recap: OMGWTFKOBE MAKE A GOD DAMN SHOT!
11:22pm More inspiration from Laron James dedicated to the Lake Show
They say a family that prays together, stays together. And one that walks apart just falls apart. So, together we stand, divided we fall. United, we form Voltron and take off all. Let’s move. Yes, the birds left the nest. I’m all grown up I gotta fly with the rest.(uh huh) Best of the best is what we strive to be. (Yeah). A legacy is what we trying to leave. Ya dig? Now say goodbye to the past.(why?) The future is here at last.(at last) The second coming.(yea) The new beginning.(yea) The truth is speaking.(uh huh) You should listen. So glorious. Victorious. We take what we want we born warriors. So glorious, Victorious. We take what we want we born warriors. If you fall, get up and try it again.(uh huh) If you drop, get up and try it again.(uh huh) If you fall, get up and try it again.(uh huh) If you drop, get up and try it again We tired of being runners up. We coming up. Yup. We ready for whatever you put in front of us. (Whatever) Blood, sweat, tears, (yeah) We dripped all three just to get here.(here) No longer will I wake up and my dreams just vanished.(nope) It’s staring right at me, I must take advantage. Hard work pays off, you get what you put in. So why stop now? Gotta keep pushing. (Keep pushing) We in a fight to the finish, So why not fight 'till you finished? Dig it? I’m my own author, here’s my story. My life’s been full of pain, Now where’s my glory?(ahh)
11:30pm In the penalty. With 6 minutes to go. Nothing good can come of this. Posey three. 4 point lead. KOBE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!! KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Father's Day Kobe! Do it for the girls!
11:40pm 92-91. Gasol aint poppin. Sasha aint poppin. I'm frustrated. This team basketball shit isn't getting us anywhere. I wanna die with my gunner. Not the help.
11:46pm "Gimmie some James Posey!"-Jeff Van Gundy. No...ho...mo. But he has a history of questionable acts. See the diagram I created below
11:56pm STEAL! FLY! DUNK! SEE! U! IN! BOSTON! DART! 2 more games and it's a championship! I like Mamba's chances
12:01am Tony Allen's an idiot. I'd just like to throw that out there. I promise I won't blog about the Finals until Game 6 on Tuesday (which I will also live blog). Going to write about the other things that are going on with the world. Like Post Rihanna Syndrome Part 4. And how I'm 2-0 vs 90s Babies in basketball. And my trip to Philly and Cleveland. Wait...bye bye Jesus Buttlesworth! See ya in racist Boston! Get ya clam chowdaa! Kobe's coming to town! Goodnight!
"Kobe's finished!" "Lakers gonna get swept!" "No one can stop Pierce/Allen/Powe/Cassell!" "Gasol's a bitch!" Only the last statement is correct. But you failed to realized the Lakers have the best player of the new millennium. 38 points on a light day. 32 points on a dud. 58 out of 87 Laker points between him and his #2 Sasha. Games 1 and 2 was just a minor set back. Still in all we living, this dream we bout to get back.
Allen, Pierce and Garnett all had their tails between legs in the last 3 minutes of the game. Eddie House was the only one with enough heart to take shots. Doc looked flustered. Powe went back to D-League level. Cassell anybody? The fake Rondo injury wasn't fooling nobody. 50 Cent knows. They're greeeeeeeeen! Greeeeeeen!
If you didn't know, Curtis was talking about Pierce in this video. Just fast forward to Game 5 Dart. Don't even bother to tune into my blog Anjelikah until Game 5. You've been thru this before Hip Hop. They fold on the road Jamal. Let nature take it's course Nasir. The road to 6 rings. This is out of all of your hands. This is destiny. You don't wanna be the old head who has to explain to your kids why you cheered against fate. The greatest player the 90s Babies will ever see. It's like cheering against Obama. Against Martin. Against Tiger.
8:39pm Oh you didnt think you were gonna see me? Kobe in 5!!! Magic's in the building! Boston is looking as racist as ever. The whole byrd gang is here like Kurt Rambis was here YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
8:49pm Mark Jackson is doing play by play! You already know how he feels about Kobe. Anyone has that video when he said "Look me in my eyes Scottie Pippen...Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan!" That was the best
8:54pmJames Taylor? Thank God For Wikipedia. Yikes! Check out this guys mug. Looks like he'd lynch me
8:59pm You never have to worry about Kevin Garnett cheating with those ugly ass cheerleaders. Yuck. Are they coming out to "Ayo Technology"? Is that considered fight music in Boston???
9:08pm My blackberry keeps going off. I don't think people (re: women) realize the magnitude of this game. Carrie Fever = Kobe Fever
9:13pm "Allen..wide open 3!" BRICK! "Allen...gets the ball taken back!" Choker!!!
9:18pm Great dunk Garnett!!! Now let's see you do that with 2 minutes to go
9:24pm They gotta put Lamar on Garnett. Paul's too soft. I don't want anyone guarding KG who looks like Zohan. Looks like he can go bucket for bucket though
9:29pm Jesus Buttlesworth got a lucky 3. Let me remind everyone...wait til the 4th Quarter! It separates the mice from the men
9:33pm GTFOH! Can Rondo even dunk? Sasha is about to hit Rondo in the head from 3 all half. Now he traveled. Someone get his headband wearing ass outta here
9:35pm Posey is about to get his ass whopped by Lamar. QUEENSBRIDGE NIGGA!!! Ahhh shit he just woke the sleeping giant up. Kobe hit his second jumper. Remember what happened last time the Celtics tried to style on the Lake Show
9:42pm "How are the Celtics stopping Kobe?" Phil: "I think he's just missing shots"
9:55pm Cassell on Kobe? What are they crazy?!?!?!?!?! You gotta love Dorothy Doc Rivers.
10:07pm 3 fouls in The Scarecrow. Dunk by Gasol. Brick by Posey. I smell momentum changing! See! They pissed off the fast break. 10 point Laker lead by halftime
10:17pm 5 points...I was close...if they doubled the score, it will be 102-92 by the end of the game. KOBE IN 5!!! Gonna get food.
10:39pm 4 point play smore joint clay. He's gonna catch his 4th foul and hit the bench for the rest of the court. Throw them B's..I mean 3's...up PP
10:43pm Kobe's picking them apart. It's not even fair. Penetrate then kick out. Penetrate then kick out. It's like unprotected sex.
10:47pm The Scarecrow is down! I repeat, The Scarecrow is down! Perkins' dumbass bumped into him. You don't want Allen and Garnett be your go to guys in the final quarter. And for the record if hes out for the season, THE LAKERS WERE AHEAD AT THE TIME OF HIS INJURY! Can't use this picture enough
10:53pm Perkins is pretending to limp because he a) took out his team's 2nd best player and b) just got his 4th foul. This is going to turn into a blowout all because of Kendrick Perkins. The NBA might wanna check his bank account for shaving points.
10:57pm Ok. I see what's going on. The Commissioner wants to turn this into a movie. Fake injuries and dramatic returns. He prob was never hurt. This is some ole smoke-n-mirrors Truman Show BULLSHIT!!!
11:03pm This genius fouled on a 3 pointer. There's your "Defensive Player Of The Year". Fouled a guy from Slovenia. DID YOU JUST SEE HOW LONG KOBE STAYED IN THE AIR FOR THAT DUNK?!?!?!?!?!?!
11:08pm These 3's are more NBA trickery. Didn't I tell you his dumbass would catch his 4th foul? That was a dumb 3 from Kobe. Well just dumb because it didn't go in. THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYS RIGHT HERE! 3 Championship Rings vs 3 Championship Virgins. The FOURTH!
11:16pm I'm going to petition Walton shouldn't take shots in the 4th quarter...for the whole series. Him shooting is in strict violation of "The Big Man Code" chapter 3 14th paragraph
11:20pm Lake Show is just going thru a bad run. That was a pass by Kobe, not a airball. Is their no backcourt in the NBA now?!??! He obviously stepped on the line. He wears like a size 30 shoe! Kobe is getting impatient and not following the triangle. It's about the triangle Kob! The triangle! Not the pyramid!
11:26pm He benched Kobe! Phil is a genius! Kobe was losing it. He needed to be reeled in a bit. Cassell is making idiotic move after idiotic move. What do you expect to someone you just got from the Clippers? VOO-YEAH-CHIC!!!!!!!! See now we're playing Laker basketball! Team ball!
11:33pm YOU WERE WIDE OPEN GASOL!!!!!! LUKE WALTON BIG MAN CODE!!!! I'm going to the kitchen...
11:38pm AND 1!!! YES I'M SCREAMING! 5 point game! Last 3 minutes and like I said, Allen and Garnett is as quiet as a church mouse. Kobe time folks! Get your popcorn ready.
11:43pm Ray Allen is a 102% free throw shooter and missed the 1st. CHOKER! Gasol to shoot two. 5 point game baby!
11:47pm Kobe is still fighting til the last second. Six points isn't that much. Shit, now it's eight. Clutch free throws don't count

11:51pm LAKERS IN 5!!!! I'M OUT! See you Saturday Selltricks!
The Big 3 is going against the best baller alive since the best baller retired. Everyone knows I'm a self proclaimed Kobe stan, but this series outcome it's just obvious. Especially when The Lake Show has to go against:
Meet The Cast Of This Blockbuster 2008 Remake
Ray Allen as The Cowardly Lion
Grrr Grrr! Big Bad Ray is coming to your town...to go 2 for 7. Roar Roar! The great Jesus Shuttlesworth averaged 26ppg last season...on the Sonics. Put Em Up Put Em Up! TKobe's favorite punching bag has been called on to stop him. "But he plays Kobe hard! He's ready!". If Ray is still Jesus, then Kobe is Denzel. Roar Roaaar! Luckily he doesn't have to do it by himself because he has...
Kevin Garnett as The Tin Man
Garnett is the most talented PF of his time. Then why does Tim Duncan have 4 rings and this is KG's first time in The Finals?
Heart.
He plays like an MVP Candidate for 42 minutes. But as the 4th quarter clock hits that 6 double 0, he's John Q's son. He couldn't do it in his prime with Cassell and Spreewell, so it damn sure aint going down with The Cowardly Lion and...
Paul Pierce as The Scarecrow
Does anyone remember that Paul Pierce played for Boston last year too? 24-58 under his regime? The 18 game losing streak? Sure he has heart and courage. But believe you me he isn't the smartest kid in the class. Who else throws up gang signs in a basketball game? And I don't wanna hear he was reppin Boston. Neither does the David Stern who ordered a $25,000 fine for putting on for his city. Is this the man leading you against the LA MAriano Rivera in the last 6 minutes??? HIM???! Or is your leader....
Doc Rivers as Dorothy The leader of this crazy bunch. Probably the worst head coach to lead his team into an NBA Finals appearance. Well, maybe the 2nd worst. But he thinks he can he thinks he can he thinks he can...
"It is even," forward Rasheed Wallace said. "We don't sit back and say, 'Oh, look. They are undefeated at home,' or 'They didn't win a game on the road.' ... A lot of the teams they played in the postseason and the regular season were scared of them, as far as KG and Ray and Paul. They are good players, but we have good players, also."
-Sheed on last night's game
Hey Boston stans. It's Rasheed again
I told you last time what we're about. Domination. You look at Sportscenter this morning and you'd think Ray Allen's last shining moment would've won you the game. But noooooo. We don't want the fame. We just want the W.
Think about it. You went 7 in two straight series. Once to the Al Horford's ad then to the King and his disciples. YOU NEVER WON A ROAD GAME! YOU'RE SOFT! You think you can handle our arena? Don't you know what kind of things go down at the Palace?
