ichiro...

Although, he's definitely in the twilight of his career, I'm pleased that Ichiro Suzuki was traded from the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees.   This gives him an opportunity to get a ring- a World Series ring...

Now, the Yankees have two Japanese players- Ichiro and pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.   And they have Kosuke Fukudome on their AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster.

mark jackson...

Just listened to an interview with the Warriors coach during a Golden State summer league game.  He's still full of shit and he'll always be full of shit...

At least the idiot didn't predict the Ws are going to make the playoffs.  Even if Bogut plays a injury free season, which is very questionable- the Warriors will have a difficult time making the playoffs.  Even if the soft Curry is healthy, Golden State will have a hard time making the playoffs.

fred willard...

First of all, I didn't know they still had theaters that showed straight porn?  The Tiki Theater in LA apparently still does and Fred Willard was caught with his pants down.

Quite frankly, I can't remember a theater showing porn for decades, perhaps since the eighties.   Doesn't Willard have a computer?  A laptop?  An Ipad?

Doesn't Willard have a DVD player?  Or how about a VHS player?  Beta?

houston rockets...

Their roster is in a bit of disarray, but from the looks of the Rockets 4-1 NBA Summer League showing in Vegas, there is much to look forward to.  Houston's 3 first-round picks all showed flashes-  Jeremy Lamb, Royce White, and Terrence Jones.  I believe the Rockets picked up a free agent gem in point guard Scott Machado from Iona.  Machado could be a decent backup to Jeremy Lin.  It also looks as if Josh Harrellson, Lin's teammate last season with the Knicks could also play some quality minutes next season.

jeremy lin...

It looks like JLin will be a Houston Rocket once again.  It really is a better situation for him than the Knicks with their skeptical head coach and Iso-Melo the ball hog.   However, there is no place like New York, Manhattan.

If the Rockets can somehow wrangle Dwight Howard from the Magic, even if it's only for one season- Houston will be a fun team to watch.

amazing...

I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing that word.  The only real time it was appropriate is when the Mets won the World Series in 1969= the Amazing Mets!

I just viewed the Adam Richman's Best Sandwiches in America and the guy said "amazing" in three straight sentences.  He used it at least four times in the show.  Don't get me wrong, I like watching the guy, but please cut down on the use of amazing...

filet of fish...

A favorite of mine from Mickey D's- now more so since I don't eat red meat for the time being.

380 calories. 170 fat calories.

Not the best thing in the world for you....

I get depressed reading labels of foods I consume

Rest assured, I don't eat a filet of fish very often.

val's burger in hayward...

Didn't have one of their famous burgers, but I had an excellent clam strips dinner with steak fries and cole slaw. Tasty down home food. I did try a taste of their milk shakes and it was fantastic!

sf bathrooms...

My standby on the second floor of the Le Meridien Hotel which was formerly called the Park Hyatt.

Clean and spacious. Been using the restrooms there for about 30 years.

jeremy lin...

I believe the only way he won't succeed in the league is if injury curtails his basketball career.  He's on the verge of signing a contract that will set him up for the rest of his life.  Plus, his endorsement potential earnings could surpass his contract with the Rockets or Knicks, if they match Houston's offer.

Jeremy will be guaranteed almost $20M for the first three years of his deal with an option for year four which is for $9.3M.  The total value of the contract he's verbally agreed with the Rockets is $28.9M.

JLin potentially could make another $100M or so playing in the NBA after his playing career is over.

I really look forward to next season...

mitch lawrence...

He's a fucking idiot columnist for the New York Daily News.   He just wrote an article criticizing the signing of Jason Kidd at the advanced age of 39 for a point guard.  39 is old for any position in basketball.

I have followed Jason Kidd's career since his high school days where I saw him play live to win a couple state championships in Cali., Oakland to be exact.  Kidd will do okay next season mentoring Jeremy Lin if the Knicks match the Houston Rocket's offer sheet.

This Lawrence dumbshit still is a hater.  He first writes that Jeremy Lin is a backup who will make an outrageous amount of money.   The Knicks and MSG have made something like $300M off of Linsanity.  Even if Jeremy doesn't pan out- he still will be worth every penny the organization pays him and then some.  And Jeremy Lin is a starter, not a backup.

Then this fucking numbskull writes that Jeremy Lin isn't good enough.  Good enough for what?  This kid endured three different teams and four different coaches last season.  Four different systems.  Well, he didn't get any chance with the Warriors since they waived him the first day of training camp and that imbecile Mark Jackson had the gall to say that he never saw him play.  The guy had six months to study tape and he never did.  And he didn't get a chance in Houston, which had three point guards with guaranteed contracts when they signed Jeremy and subsequently waived him and now all three of the point guards are gone(Lowery, Dragic, and Flynn).

Lin flourished under D'Antoni's system and did well in Woodson's bullshit boring system featuring ball hog and isolation dick Carmelo Anthony.

Unless Jeremy gets hurt, he's more than good enough.  Those sportswriters for tabloid papers like the New York Daily News aren't good enough- especially this Mitch Lawrence prick...

delonte west...

One of the biggest odd fellows in the NBA.  West was recently quoted, "Looking for a team to pay me what I'm worth, not a cent more."   He probably meant not a cent less...

As big as a head case Delonte may be, he's still a good player who is best as a combo guard off the bench.

anderson cooper...

He came out of the closet today. Good for him. It really wasn't a big secret that he's gay.

I like him as a newsman. His talk show isn't to my liking. Anderson would have been a better choice to team up with Kelly Ripa on Live With Kelly- replacing Regis Philbin.
