Okay....we know.....the season in the "association" has only just begun.
Still......3-0....is still.....3-0.
But........
These Atlanta Hawks have only played 'have-nots" so far.
And.....this is the same Atlanta team that got embarrassed in the play-offs last year...again.
And.....this is the team that was too cheap to re-sign 6th man award winner Jamaal Crawford.
Still.....3-0 ....is 3-0.
Enjoy it while it lasts:
Really Newt?.......Really?
To be running for the leader of the free world......the most powerful human on the planet....Newt Gingrich.....just...doesn't get it.
And.....we don't get him.
Newt.....is really a smart guy.......very intelligent.
But ......presidential material?
Nah.......
AS IOWA TURNS: NEWT WEEPS
Hey now.......we're all for people being happy. Even if your name is Michael Jordan.
Apparently....MJ.....has not learned a thing or two in his previous relationship with the former Mrs. Jordan. (Sport Divorces - Michael Jordan )
Wonder how much this will cost him....Marriage.....and you know they'll eventually divorce.
What a waste........But......hey, it could be true love.
She is very light skinned......oh wait.......she's white....our bad.

Can we dare to dream?
Dwight Howard......aka....Superman.......an Atlanta Hawk?
If this was to happen....can you imagine the jolt it would give to the ATL?
The Braves are average.......the Falcons just got humiliated on national TV....Tech and UGA are irrelevant...
So.....let's dream.
So this is Christmas?
You.....the NBA.....the "Association"....came back to us.
Like a once scorned lover....we the fans....were in a "wait & see" mode. Can we really forgive you? Let bygones be? Have you really repented? Can we ever love you again?
You......took us for granted. You....didn't really appreciate us.....
We moved on......but......you came back.
You did a ......serenade......Using Christmas...no less.....Christmas Day?
Really.....NBA?
Really?
You.....need us......more than we need you.
With that said....You kind of came through yesterday....made us see.....why we missed you...
From our friends.....at the Huffington Post:
LeBron......goes wild:
Only in New York....
Oh how we miss it......some parts ....at least.
Like the NFL....the two teams.....Giants and Jets. There is no other place like it.
The newspapers.....tabloids....front & back pages....
Only in New York......The battle of the tabloids.
Daily News.......versus The Post.
You decide...
Today's headlines:
First...the Daily News:
We humans.....are a very rare breed.
Nike comes out with a new Air Jordan basketball shoe.....and all hell breaks loose.
I .....just .....don't get it.
We.....just....don't get it.
It .....is a sneaker......a shoe....a little rubber....some plastic.....a shoe.
One for the right foot....one for the left foot. It covers your toes.....
Whatever!!!
Now this:
As we wind down 2011....here's the 50 most amazing sports photos of the year.
From the Huffington Post:
'Tis the season....
This is the time of year....when everybody and their brother....comes out with lists.
The ....good .....bad...and ugly...of the past year. There are a bunch. So.......We'll start you with this one.
From our friends at the Huffington Post:
The ...11 best ...trick plays....in the NFL....for 2011.
Enjoy:
The ....next to the last ...Hump Day of the year.
It's storming in this small southern college town. Thunderstorms? In December? The ...Apocalypse now?
Just saying.....Anyway.....some stuff ...we're humping on:
Kobe's having a rough month:
Easily said......easily done in the US of A.......
Get married ......get unhappy...get a divorce.
The American way.
I've had one.....divorce.......My colleges .....have had theirs too...sometimes even more.
Divorce ....is a serious thing.
It marks the end of the ......"true love"......you thought would last ...forever.
It makes you feel as if you have ...somehow...failed.
Maybe so.......but ......divorce.....is what it is.
A ....separation......from the love....you once knew.
When I walked down that aisle......I thought it was the real thing......forever....
Then reality sets in.....We are ...simply human.....things change....people change...there are finances.....there are kids.....there are circumstances......
Shit .........happens.
Divorce.......
An ugly.......truly ugly word....but....
The beginning of something new.....
Believe that....for everything that dies......something else is born.......something else ...lives...
The latest in this......divorce ....."thang":
Great sports week-end.
And we're smarter for it....some of what we learned:
Not quite ...a ..."Perfect Pack":
Now really....
Did you really think Kobe and Vanessa would live happily ever after?
Didn't think so!
From our guys & gals at TMZ.com:
Vanessa signed the divorce petition on December 1. Kobe signed his response on December 7.
Basic rule of life......
Thou shalt not lie.....at least to white men in suits....namely the United States Justice Department.
Just ask our friend.....Barry Bonds.
Courtesy of TMZ.com:
Barry Bonds has just been sentenced to 30 days of house arrest -- for lying to a grand jury during a 2003 federal investigation into steroid use by MLB playersNo.....these Atlanta Falcons....will not duplicate last years 13-3 record.
And......no.....these Falcons won't be the number one seed in the National Conference.
But........last night....these Falcons put together four full quarters of football...to totally dominate the Jacksonville Jaguars...
They.....have a risen !!!
From the AJC:
It's December 14th....in this small, southern, college town......and the high today will be in the upper 60's.....
But we're not complaining......we're humping:
We'll believe it when we see it:
Very interesting weekend.
Some stuff.......we followed:
In Tebow ...we trust......Again!!!
Charlotte, North Carolina..."Little Atlanta".
Not today....the big Atlanta ...took care of business.
From the Charlotte Observer:
Leave it to the "Association" ...to make another boneheaded move. In a trade that would have benefited all three team.....David Stern and the NBA owners nixed the thing!
To us ....it seems like a little conflict of interest...being that the New Orleans franchised is owned and run by the league itself.
And....the league just shot itself in the foot. At least with this trade....New Orleans would have gotten players and draft picks.
Next year.....when Chris Paul becomes a free agent...he will leave...sign with another team...and New Orleans will get.....NOTHING!
Makes no sense to us.....but who are we?
The whole story:
It's that time......
Let's .......Hump!
We all knew he was a snake:
