Dubai fucks up Jordan statue

Unforgivable: Michael Jordan Statue In Dubai Wears Wrong Number

by Brad Cohen | 1:28 pm, February 15th, 2011

It’s pretty incredible that basketball has become so popular that you can find fans all over Europe, China and even the Middle East these days, which is why you might not think it’s so strange to see a Michael Jordan statue in Dubai…until you realize the statue’s number is the wrong one.
A sports grill at the Dubai Mall has a life-like statue of His Airness, and he’s wearing a No. 32 Bulls jersey—a number worn in real by 7-foot white guy Will Purdue throughout much of Jordan’s tenure in Chicago.
Since MJ (who, we assume you know, wore No. 23 for most of his career) hasn’t played in the league in about eight years, we’re guessing not too many Dubaians realize the creator of the statue messed up what is one of the most iconic numbers in NBA history. And unless they happen to be subscribers to ESPN Classic, or Jordan makes an improbable comeback, they’re unlikely to find out.
Here’s a photo of the wrong-numbered Jordan.

I have had it up to here with Dubai....just building a mega city with invisible money, filled with islands in the shape of the world and a mall with a ski mountain in it or some shit. It's over Dubai, that was the last straw...this shit is bad, something needs to be done. You can't just ao around making statues of the G.O.A.T and put #32 on it. I will no longer stand idely by, you want a holy war Dubai? I'll give you a fucking holy war.

It's a Bad Idea

Itss a terrrrrrible bad idea. I can listen to this guy talk all day.... and look at that fuckin beard! But, you know what, he has got a fuckin point. An idiot woulda knowed to make the top proportinate to the bottom. He backs up this thesis of it being a bad idea by showing the spoon and how absolutely filthy it gets...not with the peanut butter jar though...thats a fuckin brilliant idea. This has Seinfeld episode written all over it, so naturally I loved it. Could you imagine Kramer swingin open the door yelling about jars and how their tops are too small and how people need to stand up against jar making companies? This is the America I know, speaking our minds and backin it the fuck up like this guy. Take notes kids ....this guy gets it.

Radiohead to release 'The King of Limbs' through Web site

Radiohead announced Monday that it will release its eighth studio album, “The King of Limbs,” and allow fans to download it beginning Saturday from http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/DIUSD.htm.
      
       Unlike the 2007 release of the British quintet’s previous studio album, “In Rainbows,” however, Radiohead fans will have to pay for downloads of “The King of Limbs.” An MP3 version of the album, at a high-quality audio rate of 320 kilobits per second, will be available for $9 and a Waveform Audio File Format or WAV version (CD quality)  will be sold for $14.
      
   Special-edition physical copies of the album – advertised as the “world’s first Newspaper Album” -- will be made available through the Web site May 9, for $48 (with MP3 download) or $53 (with WAV download), that include a CD, two 10-inch vinyl records  and extensive artwork.
  
   Standard CD and vinyl versions of the album will be made available March 28 in retail outlets through a partnership with XL Recordings, with whom Radiohead collaborated to release “In Rainbows.” Before the physical release of “In Rainbows,” the band made the music available as a free digital download from its Web site, but at a lower bit rate that dissatisfied some audiophile fans. Despite being available for free for two months, the album went on to sell more than 3 million copies worldwide and became one of the band’s most popular releases.

Kid kills Mom because he was grounded from his PSP

Confession: Boy bludgeoned sleeping mom over PlayStation

By Joseph A. Slobodzian

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

When her 16-year-old son got into trouble last November, Rashida Anderson responded with punishment - she took away Kendall's PlayStation.
That proved fatal.
Following a 90-minute argument the day after Thanksgiving, police allege, Kendall went into his sleeping mother's bedroom, hit her 20 times with a claw hammer and ultimately killed her.
The story of Rashida Anderson's bloody end - as told by her son in his confession to Philadelphia police homicide Det. Thorsten Lucke - was read to a Philadelphia Municipal Court judge, who ordered the lanky youth to stand trial for murder, possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of corpse.
Anderson, a lanky 5-foot-8 youth dressed in a blue striped polo shirt and slacks, looked quizzically about the courtroom as Lucke read his confession during the preliminary hearing before Judge Karen Yvette Simmons.
According to Anderson's statement, the 11th grader at Daniel Boone School in North Philadelphia paced for about three hours in his South Philadelphia home trying to decide if he should kill his mother.
"I couldn't stand the arguing," Lucke said, reading the youth's statement.
When the hammer attack did not kill her, Anderson told police, he dragged her downstairs and tried to "cremate her" in the kitchen oven. When that failed, he continued, he beat her in the head with a chair leg before dragging her body outside and hiding under debris in an alley behind the house.
Lucke said that Anderson expressed remorse for the crime and told him: "If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me."

Nothing funny about this really...... Seriously this is just beyond me, a 16 year old kid crying over his PSP? I'm not even old, but boy how the times have changed....when I was 16 I just got my first phone and I was too busy trying to get numbers to call up local bitties in my area to see if they wanted to give me a tug job. Kid gets grounded from his PSP and kills his mom, seriously bro? Go jack off in your room, 10 times better than anything your fucking donkey kong game can do. Crazier thing is that this was as premeidtated as a motherfucker....hammer, cremation in an oven, hide her in the alley.....that shit just ain't off the cuff. Wouldn't shed a tear to see this kid get a life sentence. No joke, people like this don't belong in civilized society....have fun thinking about how you killed your mom over a stupid PSP the rest of your life dumbass.

Pujols rejects Cards offer!

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/spring2011/news/story?id=6119858

Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols received and rejected a contract proposal from St. Louis two weeks ago and there has been no progress in the talks since then, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

Barring a last-minute deal, the 31-year-old Pujols will make an announcement Tuesday ceasing negotiations, according to USA Today, which was the first to report the Cardinals' offer had been rejected.

 
Pujols previously said that if a deal was not made by the time he reports for spring training on Wednesday, he will not negotiate again this season.


After he begins spring training, Pujols does not want his agent, Dan Lozano, to discuss a contract with the Cardinals because he doesn't want to have any distractions, a stance he has taken throughout his career.


Ummmm......Okay I'm not going to go too far into this because they could still squeak out a deal....But seriously, I wanna jump up and down right now like a tweenie at a Beiber concert. I don't care what you fucking say, "Screw Pujols I hate the Cards!" Um NO! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY! I would be the first guy in line to buy myself a Pujols jersey.....it would be pretty easy to forget how much he has destroyed. I would gladly get rammed in the ass right now knowing that the Cubs could get the best player of all time next offseason. Seriously people this guy is the G.O.A.T (learn the acronym kids, it is also applied to Michael Jordan) when it is all said and done....I'm going to start "We want Pujols!" chants every game I go to. Look for me in the left field bleachers....I'm the drunk guy in the sombrerro.

You heard it here first! The beginning of a year long media frenzy with Pujols and da Cubbies! Work Site that bitch!

Hawks lose again….in Shootout

Seriously? Again? Watching the Hawks are like watching Illinois basketball right now…..just nothing about it is fun. Leading early, getting too comfortable, poop..we lose. You can't lose 3-0 leads, you just can't……spotty goaltending by Turko and the injury bug is just killing us, 3 injuries in the second alone with Pisani, Stalberg, and Ryan Johnson all going down. Hawks ended up blowing it in penalty shots to end up losing 4-3. This just sucks, spring is coming around the corner and the Cubs are just going to make me cry again……I have a lot of faith riding on the Bulls right now. Comeon Bulls. Whatever I'm going to watch Curb…no one can turn my frown upside down like Larry jew David.

LeBron, fan exchange words

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- LeBron James took a moment during Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons to fire back at a heckling fan who insulted his mother.

After hearing a fan sitting near the court behind the Heat's bench mention his mother's name, James walked toward the scorer's table and addressed the male fan.

"I don't care what you say to me. I don't give a [expletive] what you say," James said to the fan. "But don't be disrespectful."

The exchange came during a break in action with 1.7 seconds left in the first quarter and was picked up by television microphones.

James responded to the fan, who shouted the comments within earshot of James' two young sons who sat courtside near the Heat's bench.

The fan, who declined to give his name to ESPN.com, said he was offended by James' cursing. He was also told by security to refrain from heckling the rest of the game or he would be escorted out.'

What a pussy…..no not LeBron for once…this is aimed toward the heckler. Awww he was offended, listen man you were doing everything right…you probably said something along the lines of "Your mom snorts coke lines of Delonte West's dick!" Perfect, but then LeBron comes over and puts you in your place and you curl up in a little ball and cry about it…aww you were offended? God damn people…..if you are going to dish it out you have got to learn how to take it. Some people just don't know how to be an asshole. Seriously bro, never heckle again, just eat your fuckin popcorn while the pros do it. Detroit is really pissing me off lately.

Conn. man asks cops about growing pot, is arrested

(02-04) 11:40 PST Farmington, Conn. (AP) --
Police say a Connecticut man called 911 to ask a dispatcher how much trouble he could get into by growing one marijuana plant, then was arrested. Farmington police say a dispatcher told 21-year-old Robert Michelson on Thursday night that he could get arrested for growing pot, and Michelson said thank you and hung up.
Officers went to Michelson's house and seized a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Michelson has admitted he bought seeds and equipment for growing.
Michelson was released on $5,000 bail after being charged with marijuana possession and other crimes. A woman who answered the phone at his home Friday said he wasn't available for comment.

Uhhhh…..so he was obviously out of his mind high when he made this call?  Pretty ballsy move I must say, I mean some people call the cops and talk about growing pot when they get high, some drive over to Taco Bell to eat 35% meat filler chalupas. But hey man to each his own, you know I'm not about to knock the hustle. ….stay golden ponyboy.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Charles Barkley has been a staunch believer that Utah Jazz veteran Deron Williams is the best point guard in the NBA, but Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose has changed his mind.

In fact, Barkley took the praise of Rose even farther.

“I think Derrick has surpassed Deron Williams as the best point guard in the NBA, and I think right now he has to be the front-runner for MVP,” Barkley said Tuesday on “The Waddle & Silvy Show” on ESPN 1000. “He’s been fantastic, and I think when you look at the Eastern Conference, and I’ve said it all along, the Chicago Bulls to me are the most dangerous team if they get everybody healthy.”

http://www.hoopsnotes.com/teams/chicago/charles-barkley-says-derrick-rose-is-mvp/

I love you Chuck! Every game, whether it be in the UC or the Staples Center the chants are growing when #1 goes to the line. MVP! MVP! MVP! I love it, this kid has carried the Bulls to one of the best records in the East and was recently named the starter for the Eastern Conference in the upcoming All Star game. Everything about his game has improved….3 pt shooting, scoring, assists, ft%….you name it. He has been doing much of this with one of Noah or Boozer injured on top it. The only thing standing in his way of winning MVP as of now and I mean only thing is…..fucking LeBron. Fucking LeBron is tearing it up in Miami, he is just unbelievably dynamic and is the only guy I can see as of now being in his way. Just look at the Cavs…LOOK AT HOW BAD THEY ARE….clearly fucking LeBron is more valuable than most of us wanted him to be….Hey LeBron! Delonte West still fucked your mom, but seriously I probably would have left Cleveland too.

White power!

That's right ya punk bitch….sit the fuck down. Couple minutes ago it was all fun and games, just laughin it up with all your cholos, snickering at this goofy white boy.  Well ya didn't see that one coming did ya? Gringo just deported your ass with a right hook.  But in all seriousness, I don't care who the fuck you are, soon as somebody goes into that little kung fu pose …I'm out of there (unless I'm drunk). I'd rather not get my ass kicked by some kid who has been practicing Tang soo do in his bedroom the past 10 years….

Wake up with Laisa Andrioli

Brazil….home of fake tits, joga bonito, and that sweet sweet onion booty. This thing will make christians convert into jews. Apparently, this chick plays soccer for the Brazilian woman's team so obviously she is going to have a lawn mower. God damn…..god damn…...

Will Detroit Succeed into Canada already?

Pistons to retire Dennis Rodman jersey

www.espn.com-

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons plan to retire Dennis Rodman's No. 10 during a halftime ceremony later this season.
Rodman, the eccentric rebounding specialist who helped the Pistons win NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, will be honored April 1 when the Pistons host the Chicago Bulls, a team Rodman won three championships with from 1996 to 1998.
Detroit rookie Greg Monroe currently wears No. 10 and will be allowed to keep doing so.
Rodman averaged 8.8 points and 11.5 rebounds in 549 games with the Pistons. He was the league's defensive player of the year in 1990 and 1991.

First they want to build a statue of robocop and now they are gunna go and retire Rodman's jersey against the Bulls? You Detroiters (is that what you call yourselves?) really must be desperate....I know everything sucks right now in Detroit and even people from Cleveland are making fun of you...(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM) but Rodman averaged 8.8 points and 11.5 boards with the Pistons. Sure he was a bad boy, and was a fuckin beast in 91-92, but retire his jersey? I'm sorry but when you think Dennis Rodman you think of the holy trinity… Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman....the guy is a Chicago Bull. Whatever, if you are going to go and claim Rodman then Chelios is for sure a Blackhawk.

Muthafuckin Snakes on a train!

 

Snakes on a Train: Missing Boa Found on Boston Subway

Boa was loose for nearly a month

By GREG WILSON www.nbcchicago.com

A three-foot snake missing for more than a month was found on a Boston subway car, offciials said.

The boa constrictornamed Penelope, which escaped from its owner on the train more than a month ago, was found Thursday in an adjoining car, The Associated Press reported. A commuter spotted the serpent snake and notified a train attendant at a Red Line station. Transit authority officials took the train out of service, and hours later, train attendant Sharon Lynch, who owns a snake of her own, caught the snake.

Penelope's owner, Melissa Moorhouse, 30, said she had the snake around her neck when it got away on Jan. 6. At that time, passengers were evacuated from the plaform as workers searched in vain for the snake.

Muthafuckin snakes on a train! I think el pres was 
talking about this snake a few weeks back when it first fot lost....well yup they found this slitherin snake just chillin out in a train car......Good thing one of the train attendants was Ash Ketchum and used a great ball to snatch it up. I know if I were on that train I would have locked myself in the bathroom by then. Oh and I can't resist…...........I'd follow you anywhere Samuel L.

Pedophile Hippie Yoga Teacher

Okay so first thing that comes to my mind....where is Chris Hansen? Is he hiding beneath the hay? Wait, he's gotta be hiding inside that Jamaican Rooster …sneaky little son of a bitch. But as I continue to watch....wait maybe this guy just really wants kids to do yoga with him?  I mean the sexual undertone around 50 seconds is enough evidence in my book to give this guy a life sentence in prison, but I really think this hippie is an activist in shaping the fatass youth of America. Yoki-oki-doki is just a pioneer in the health and fitness arena, he just wants kids to eat well, excercise, and stick their heads between their thighs while acting like a chicken scratching in the dirt....no harm no foul! Keep grindin Yoki man.

Nice tomato, I'll take that for my sandwich
