Move Out July!
The month of July is coming to a close and it truly has been a wonderful month. Firstly, The All-Cool Team has welcomed three very worthy, very funny contributors, providing great reading material and banter. In the sports world July has been one full of trades, tattoos, and threats of going to Europe to play basketball. But, most importantly there have been two ridiculously crazy YouTube clips provided by the sports world. And outside the sports world there has been monumentally cool shit too, namely the Joker. There is a lot to talk about in this monthly wrap up so I will try and keep each segment short and kind of funny.
The two best clips of the sports year I would argue both happened in July, these clips of course being the WNBA Brawl in Detroit!! and the Minor League Fight. For the first ever WNBA Brawl to happen in The Palace of Auburn Hills where of course the NBA hate-maker brawl occurred is beyond humorous. The brawl had everything you could ever want. The fight was so on point Biff!! It had big big big and bad Rick Mahorn touching Lisa Leslie with his ring finger and her going flying across the court, leading to a post game interview where she said something along the lines of, "I am a mother and a role model. I don't want kids seeing me fight out there, and why did he push my anyways?" After Mahorn made her fall over, Lisa Leslie's Sparks teammate had her back and decided to throw a punch at Mahorn who didn't feel shit because he is so huge. Adding to the hilarity is the Shock player who tried to hold off her teammate from fighting ended up injuring herself. This was probably the best thing ever to happen to the WNBA and YouTube viewers appreciated it, yet the best clip of the month comes from a Minor League Baseball game. After two opposing managers were arguing about something the pitcher for the Cubs affiliate shoots into the picture out of nowhere and winds up to hurl the baseball at the other teams dugout. That is like the worst thing ever in the world to do, except for the fact that it missed the dugout completely and hit a father in the stands who brought his wife and two kids to the game. WTF is wrong with this pitchers brain, and how is he supposed to make it to the big leagues as the strike zone is a Tad Stebbins smaller than the dugout!!!! This is probably the worse thing ever that could happen at a baseball game besides going into the stands to fight, what an id!! He does look so funny though coming out of nowhere and winding up and then being instantly tackled by the other team.
I loved the NBA trade that went down today between the Sacramento Queens and Houston Rockets. Both teams absolutely benefit from this deal, as the oldest team besides the Spurs realized their shots at the title are dwindling and need to go for the NBA Championship soon, too bad the Celtics are so good!!! Newayz, the Rockets got a phenomenal defender and overrated offensive player who shoots too many mid-range jumpers. The Rockets didn't give up much that was going to help them this or next season so I think it was brilliant move and they are a legitimate contender, plus the Lake Show didn't get Artest! But, for the Kings who I kind of like, I think this is an outstanding move. They have a fabulous young core and a terrible coach. They got rid of someone that wasn't going to take them anywhere and can look forward to watching Beno Udrih, Kevin Martin, Spencer Hawes (who looks mobile and can shoot better than I thought), Jason Thompson, Quincy Douby, and Donte Greene grow. Not to mention they have 2 draft picks next year and will get a couple more before 2010 when they have enough cap space for one of the following hitting free agency: LeBron, D-Wade, and Melo. They likely won't grab one of the big 3, but there are other great talents available that year like Rudy Gay. The Gay-Douby era isn't as cool as the Gay-Love era. Nonetheless, I clearly love the trade.
BRIANNN DEEEEEGAN! Like Chris I absolutely love that ad even though that Darth Vader dude is so weird. Hey did you hear, SportsCenter is going live and some 23 year old who stumbles on his lines every commercial has something to do with it?!? I just wanted to mention how could anyone be excited for the X-Games when they last from Thursday to Sunday?!? How can extreme sports have only one event a year where all their crappy sports come together collectively and compete(?) and have it last four days? Sure they have like specific skateboarding events and the other ones during the year, but this is supposed to be big time when they are supposed to draw in fans of actual sports, and it lasts four days. How is your season four days? It is actually probably too many, got 'em! BRIANNN DEEEEEEGAN!
The Boston Red Sox have sucked in every big series this summer, so essentially they suck. The three biggest series probably have been the one in Tampa Bay (swept), the Yankees at home (1 of 3), and the Angels one now at home after getting swept in Anaheim of Los Angeles of California of the United States of America of Chone Figgins (0 for 2 with an almost no hitter and facing Joe Saunders tonight). They have been embarrassing and what sucks is that they are perfect on paper except basically at short stop. They have hitting, pitching, a pretty good bullpen, and some of the best defensive outfielders and a tight manager. They can't do much at the deadline except for the obvious and trade Manny Ramirez, which I would hate I am pretty sure. There are rumors about talks with Philadelphia, but what are we going to get in return, no Ryan Howard or Chase Utley or Jimmy Rollins so why do it, and we certainly don't need anymore prospects as our bullpen is full of them. I really want Jimmy Rollins though wow that'd be so sick! How could we trade Manny, I'd be fine with letting him go next after the year, but there isn't a fair deal out there now. We need his bat and we need his coolness. He is the coolest player probably ever in Boston. He has dreds that have been growing for centuries, he dekes base runners and somehow throws them out from left field, he lies down on baseballs in play, he high fives fans mid play, he doesn't hustle down the first base line, he pees and talks on cell phones during pitching changes, he legitimately thinks he has a shot at the Gold Glove this year, he carries Poland Springs bottles in his back pocket, and he says the most ridiculous things to the media although he refuses to talk to them. That was a long list of cool and I don't want him gone. David Ortiz has been gone most of the year, but that should be perfect as he is rested and healthy. But, it all depends on whether Big Papi has Manny batting behind him. They are the best 3-4 combo and when the Sox get hot they are hard to beat. I think they are near impossible to beat in the playoffs, but I can't be certain they are going to make it the way they have been playing in big series this year. Jon Lester is sooooo good BTdubs.
Lastly, my fav topic to talk about, USA Basketball!! Although the game with Canada wasn't the most exciting thing ever there was plenty of cool things we can pull out of it. The fourth quarter was sick and Chris Paul had a killer move in the third I believe. The jerseys are so detailed and cool and tight and make LeBron look like the strongest man ever. I like the white names on the white jerseys with the detailing on the back. The most interesting stylish related thing is Dwyane Wade being bald, the reason he is doing it, not a fashion statement, but because he is afraid of getting his haircut in Beijing. Interestingly enough both Gary Payton and Vince Carter did the same thing in Sydney and had afro's for the same reason. That is why Vince has hair when he dunks over that dude. Lastly Deron Williams has a beard, which is tight, but he is already losing his hair, which is really weird, and Jason Kidd just isn't that pleasant to look at, ew. Peace out alfalfa sprout!
