Steve Nash's take on Shaq and Zo's idiotic comments

"I know if I played one-on-one with Steph, he'd beat me probably every single time," Nash said Friday. "So in many ways, he's right."

Shaq jealous of Marbury's shoe sales

In a seemingly random criticism on Stephon Marbury, podunk wannabe cop Shaquille O'Neal has recently rehashed comments made by Stephon Marbury over two years ago, claiming Marbury needs to "let his game do the talking," referring to Marbury affirmation that he is the best point guard in the NBA. In an outlandish statement, Shaquille O'Neal, who in 2004 refused an invitation to play for his country's bronze-winning USA basketball team because "Larry Brown is not Phil Jackson," said Marbury and the Knicks would have benefited from another year WITH Next Town Brown. Why, you might ask, would Shaq, who recently won his fourth title during his ongoing illustrious career, concern himself with struggling NY's starting point guard? Well, the ONLY thing I can think of is he is envious of the fact that Starbury's new shoes actually sell. Stephon Marbury recently released the Starbury One, a urban city-geared basketball shoe that sells for $15 and has been a daily national sellout since its release nearly two weeks ago. People are lining up for this shoe hours before their local Steve and Barry's opens up. On the contrary, Shaq's monstrosity of a shoe retails for $40 dollars and is the frequently the arse of jokes on basketball courts as far as the eye can see. Players won't wear the shoe for $40, let alone buy it for that much. The Starbury release coincides with O'Neal's recent anti-starbury banter, perhaps because no one would be caught dead wearing a pair of crap shoes sold at your local Kmart, as he might now realize.
Judge for yourself, the starburys are wearable whereas the shaqs are just plain hideous.
There are no plans to release a Shaq pseudo Micheal Corleone gangster shoe at this moment, nor are there plans for a Shaquille O'Neal Highway Patrol State Police shoe.

Death from Above 1979 has Broken Up

Well, that's what their website reads. They were a great band, I wasn't foturnate enough to have seen their live show, but I enjoyed listening to their recordings for the past couple of years. They were too young to split up.

the beautiful music is too ugly for the beautiful people.

It was at about the time that Kerouac wrote The Subterraneans that he was approached by Ginsberg and others to formally explicate exactly how he wrote it, how he did Spontaneous Prose.

White Lexus SUV

Every gum-chewing, fast-talking, jewelry-iced-out prick real estate agent seems to have one. Nothings says 'I care more about making money for myself more than the welfare of a fellow human being' more than said white Lexus SUV. Its like a uniform. Just an observation.

"what, you don't want the house at that price?" says the businessman who reaches to quell the ringtone.
"wait, I have another call, hold on," as the prick flips open the verizon cell phone.
"ah-huh, yes... hold on,"
"its another buyer. They want to take a look at the house after you leave today."

Fucking salespeople.

Jared Jeffries IS a Knick

Apparently the Wizards will not match New York's offer, and once again Isiah has got die hard knicks fans like myself hoping for a better Knicks squad come this November.

What does it mean if/when Jeffries does join? It means that David Lee probably won't get a chance to start this season. It also means that Renaldo won't start this season, as those two will probably come off the bench at the 3 and 4 positions. More quantifiably, however, it means that either Quentin Richardson's days as a Knick are over OR Jalen Rose's NY days are over. I'd bet Q, Jalen and Mo Taylor are all gone by the trade deadline in February, however, with a full 15 guaranteed contracts, this roster needs some trimming now, and if they can't move any of their expensive guards they will surely try to move one of their small forwards.

At the back of my mind I consider two possibilities with regard to this very expensive signing:

1) Is Isiah still trying to stockpile assets to trade for the aging Kevin Garnett in February?
2) Is Channing Frye's health due to several recent injuries now a question mark?

These are two possible explanations in Isiah's latest seemingly nonsensical move, and there will always be those of the camp that believe that he is a managerial idiot and also those that try to see him as some kind of basketball mastermind.

If indeed NY signed Jeffries to be part of the "quick offense" that is supposed to be a run-and-gun style, why would they acquire someone who has the reputation of being a weak finisher around the rim? I know he can play defense, but what else can he bring to the table that Renaldo or Lee can not? I hope he doesn't go trading either of those two players because of this signing, even if it means landing Garnett in the long run. We'll have to just wait and see what more can happen during the off-season for this Knicks organization that is trying to recover from the most embarrassing season in the history of their storied franchise.

This Heat is Madness

Back to back 110+ degree days and the lights indoors are flickering at night on the verge of folding in a power surge, struggling to feed all the window AC's that run all night now. There is no escape from this heat should a blackout come. Queens has laid victim to this several times this year. Not much worse than being stuck in this heat with no place to go. I've still got my hair, though I've not stopped thinking about shaving it all off just to be done with it.

Big shout out to my girl Robin who's birthday is today! XOoXxOxO baby!

Outsourcing America

Have you had to call customer service on any of your accounts lately? Do you ever notice the slight accent the smug little people on the other end of the line are trying to conceal? Next time they start that bs chit-chat about how are you today, ect., ask them how the weather is where they are, then ask them where they are located. Guaranteed 90% of the time they'll say they can't tell you! American jobs are being outsourced at astronomical rates. It is sad that our government leaders bow down to big business and allow this to happen. Spineless little weasels won't stand up to these corporations because they are bribed in one way or another.
