Saturday Sports Thoughts on Sunday

2009-04-26T16:20:00.006-04:00

I wanted to put some feedback out there on some of the things that have been going on in sports, but haven't really had a chance to due to a badass weekend. Anywho:

-The NFL Draft's first and second rounds were yesterday. The Bucs only had one pick and that was quarterback Josh Freeman from Kansas State. You know, I don't mind addressing a need at quarterback (because they have one), but why say you were happy with Luke McCown, and whatever other scrub was with the franchise and earlier this week sign Byron Leftwich? I just don't understand why you spend the pick on a quarterback when there's more pressing needs on defense. Like at linebacker and defensive tackle. And not only did they spend the pick on a quarterback (and one that is supposedly "developmental"), but they traded their sixth round pick just to move up two spots. And they jumped Denver to do it too, who I'm almost sure wasn't going to draft him considering they needed defense like a motherfucker (and drafted Knowshon Moreno with the 12th pick in the draft). I might look back on this and say "oh, well Josh Freeman is the quarterback on the future" but when the defense is so old and can't contain shit, I'm not quite sure Josh Freeman's arm is going to come to the rescue. And the Jet's trading the Browns trash (first round, second round picks and three garbage players) to get Mark "The Dirty" Sanchez. Jet fan kills me. They blow the draft out of proportion and truly believe that Mark Sanchez is the answer to all of their quarterbacking problems. The games were Sanchez' met adversity in his short run as a starting quarterback at USC, he was awful. Just imagine how bad he's going to be against better competition and more adversity? Dude has as much chance seeing the field as science has correcting Stuart Scott's lazy eye.

-These new Gatorade Tiger commercials officially annoy me. I like Tiger, but it seems like the media makes me want to love him but just push me in the other direction. Just watch this trash:

What's up with the creepy animals? Review the cast:

Scott Van Pelt as "Bald Stalking Gopher"
Mike Tirico as "Cliche' advice giving old Owl"
Kelly Tilghman as "Attractive Blonde Squirrel"

And the problem is, these people slurp Tiger in real life. So perhaps these depictions were supposed to represent real life? And here are some more questions... why are they the only ones watching baby Tiger play golf alone in the forest? And Steve Williams as a giant rat? This commercial confuses me.

-Celtics/Bulls series has been flat up ridiculous. I've been loving the Playoffs so far... now if the Magic would quit blowing games like assclowns and beat the 'Sixers tonight.

Anyways, that's all I got. I got serious blog coming later in the day.

It's not about your hard work, it's your smart work

2009-04-23T23:19:00.004-04:00

I tell ya, it's tough when you're in a position where you got no one to go. Like a "go to guy" for all of those interesting situations life throws your way. And oh, the interesting and awkward predicament I've seen to place myself...

I wonder what people really strive for in life. What do people want? Not like instant gratification things, like a burger when you're hungry or a certain song when you're in the mood... I mean things that make you internally happy. Think of the awesomeness if you could read minds and give people what they wanted? It sounds like a position of weakness, but if you think about it, it'd be a position of strength. You'd give people their most solemn desire, and in turn, they'd be eternally grateful... right? For most people, they'd be eternally grateful anyways. There are those impossible people that can't be pleasured no matter what the cost, but who wants gratification for those cats anyways?

I know what I want, and I suppose you can't ever have what you want until you work for it. Which it doesn't mean working hard. I've taken that route... hard work gets you nothing but a pat on a back and a "atta boy". Or in my case, a "oh, you're too nice". So fuck working hard. That shit is for saps. I'd rather take it easy and just work smart for once. That's what people appreciate, or atleast admire I should say. Hard work just displays that you'll do anything for a little respect. But somewhere in that thinking, people don't want to respect the people that work hard. It's like "damn, I can get whatever I want out of this chump... I wonder what else I can get?". I just got sick of that nonsense and mind sight. Don't work hard my friends, change the dynamic and work smart. Watch how easy it is to get what you want.

Anyways, basketball is on. And I've got a long day of work tomorrow. I don't have plans this weekend, but we're going to make some maaaaaaaaaaaagic happen bitch. I'm stoked.

This wasn't what I was expecting to post today. In fact, I was going more along the lines of a "vlog". But my camera isn't functioning. So, I made this instead... enjoy:

It's too late for a blog. But never too late for a stainless steel mustache ride apparently...

The Revival

2009-04-22T00:21:00.003-04:00

Oh, Daddy's back.

It's like taking a step into your old high school 5 years removed and feeling like you own the place. But then you remember that feeling isn't really how much you "own" the place, but more like how sorry you are for ever coming back. Then you find some cute girl walking by and you pray that your in-state age laws fit the criteria you're looking for.

So here's what's up: I'm not going to do the normal sports coverage I used to do on this site. In fact, I'll only talk about stuff I want to talk about. So you can expect lots of Gators, Braves, Buccaneers, Magic... and I don't know. Whatever. I'll throw in some video games and definitely some stuff regarding my personal life. So More Credible is back on the internet, but not quite the same old song and dance. It's like I'm throwing out my old audience to bring in a new one. No window shoppers here.

This post is just sorta getting my feet wet. I'll have more interesting stuff to write about tomorrow. In fact, tomorrow I have a special surprise for you from my Myspace blog. Aren't you excited? Oh, I'm sure you are.

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY

2008-02-18T13:28:00.005-05:00

This weekend, I was graced to watch the Florida Gators basketball team choking away the waning seconds of a conference battle between Vanderbilt. With about 26 seconds left (or the final shot) and down only a point, Jai Lucas took the ball up half court. The Gators would hold for the final shot... ya' know? Well, that was until Lucas passed the ball over the half court line to Nick Calathes who then proceeded to go back over the half-court stripe for a kickass "Back court Violation" turnover. Florida had to foul Vandy, which hit both of their free throws, before Florida clanked two three's to close the game (Vandy won 61-58). It really filled my Saturday full of giggles (frustration, really, if you didn't catch the sarcasm) until the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. So all weekend, my brother has been riding me over Calathes' fuck up, inspiring him to comment on my Myspace:

You're an asshole Zach, and I hope you know that I've always been Mom and Dad's favorite.

YOUNG SOCCER HOOLIGANS HARASS OLD TIMER

2008-02-15T13:42:00.002-05:00

I wasn't expecting too much when I first saw the video, and especially after seeing some of the dumbass editing involved, but I was quite pleased with the final result. A bunch of high school kids go to check out a 30+ over indoor soccer league, which is just as boring as it sounds, and decide to heckle one of the players. He proceeds to have a shouting match back with them, high school hilarity follows.

30+ over leagues... Lord, that just doesn't sound right. Imagine that happening in the NFL or Victoria's Secret? Oh, wait... already happened.

JERRY STACKHOUSE IS SUCH AN ACCIDENTAL COCKBLOCK

2008-02-15T13:14:00.003-05:00

A lot of you have already heard the news about the Jason Kidd trade and a lot of you agree that Kidd is not worth that much. Mark Cuban and his front office of circus clowns and balloon animals obviously want to win it all right now, especially with teams like the Lakers and the Suns(?) bulking up on the front line by trading for a player clearly in the latter years of his career, and is only bound to get worse... not better. Makes perfect sense to obliterate your own front line to get help in the back court. Going backwards to go forward. You follow me? No? Fuck yourself.

A lot of hype has gone into this deal, but it probably won't go through because of the big mouth of one Jerry Stackhouse (one of the components of the trade). Apparently, Stackhouse made a prearranged agreement with the Nets and the Mavs so that Stack could buyout his contract with Jersey, wait out the 30 day wait period, and return to the Mavs. The only problem with all of that big worded talk, is that that kinda violates League rules. So the NBA is going to investigate these comments:

For the Mavericks, the trouble started when Stackhouse, 33, gave an interview to the Associated Press on Wednesday that suggested there was a plan for how his trade, buyout and eventual re-signing with Dallas would unfold.

Stackhouse said that he was only part of the deal “to make the numbers work.”

What’s more, he said, “I feel great. I get 30 days to rest then I’ll be right back. I ain’t going nowhere.”

I only wish the system of marriage was somewhat similar. Have my wife traded away for an upgrade for two first round picks (my two firstborn), only to have her come back after 30 days after she buys out her contract with her new husband. It's a suggestion I'm working out with the catholic church. They're being a little too picky, saying stuff about "not intended by matrimony" and "morals"... yeah whatever.

Hey, if all of this can happen in the League where "the amazing happens", the same should come where from the league where "He happens".

Hey everyone, I'm back from hiatus.

I've written a post. You're obligated to read it. Or I'll come to your house and gut your goldfish.

I SHALL RETURN

2008-02-11T10:22:00.000-05:00

On Wednesday that is. I've had so much schoolwork to do, that trying to juggle that, blogging, and the pwning I'm doing on Gears... well, you get the idea.

Thanks for being loyal, I apologize for being a loser. A big, nerdy loser.

Sorry for the no posts the past few days. I've got those mid-terms going on, so school is taking a higher gear than MC right now. Not to say MC should ever take a lower gear anyways because... I mean... this site runs the internet. I'm surprised information is still being distributed over the net as I study.

Natalie Perks (the female in this video) was just having another day on the job. Until she was raped... via lips... via... cheek.

Soccer fans are so much fun. I just want to have a mob of my own and keep them like pets. I'd entertain them with Fox Soccer Channel (24/7 of "pressing" soccer coverage).

'YOU JUST GOT ELI-ED'

2008-02-04T00:24:00.000-05:00

It's over. It's fucking over. After last night's Super Bowl, that adage "that's why they play the game" will forever be chiseled into my brain. Chiseled like the label "complete douschebag" when I think of Jeremy Shockey, Rodney Harrison, Antonio Pierce, or Bill Belichick. Basically, I didn't like anyone from the Super Bowl, but I won't lie, I was completely entertained.

I want you to think about this: ELI MANNING IS A SUPER BOWL CHAMPION. Eli. Fucking. Manning. The guy has a face that only an estranged mother could love. The guy that during the regular season had a right arm dubbed "I.N.T. CANNON". But I'm not going to hate on Eli. That was my thought process before the NFC Championship game in Green Bay. But then there's what I've been shown tonight, that Eli Manning is truly a great quarterback. He follows his brother, the year after he won his first, and made a name for himself. Kick-ass stuff, just like a kilo of blow sitting on your doorstep.

Now with that said, time to sit back and laugh at the Patriot fans that slurped the "Perfect team" all season long. The team that was getting books pre-written about that Perfect season, that never happened. The same team that was getting a clothing line about them titled "Perfectville". I love it.

Simply fucking nuts. There's no other way to describe it.

YAY! SUPER BOWL. BLARGH.

2008-02-01T16:07:00.000-05:00

Can't wait for Sunday to be here? And ultimately gone? Me too dude, me too. My boy Spike over here (the football-shaped-mascot), is ready for this shit to be over as well. Well, judging by the picture and the prostitutes he boasts proudly in both arms, he's just ready for the after party.

Normally, I'm not that guy that likes the two week break between the championship games and the Super Bowl, but I think I'm beginning to like the concept. I need a lot of time to digest the magnitude of this game. I mean, I need ESPN to force-feed history and stats and long-distance-man-love for the Patriots. It's necessary, like hunting a wounded animal with an AK-47.

All joking aside, I know I do see the magnitude of this game, and what sort of history we could be witnessing. It's just, I hope I'm stone-drunk in the middle of the third quarter, and any audibles Eli Manning spews through southern/unintelligible dialect actually make sense... for once. Tom Brady's ankle has been sensationalized to the point where I want his ankle to make a clean break in the second half (not really, because he's so beautiful. It would be a impossible to think of him as flawed).

I'll say this, I actually believe in the comparisons between the Giants secondary versus the Patriots linebackers, the weakest units of both teams (sorta). The Patriots are ancient, but experienced. The Giants are young... and awful. But for whatever reason, I like their chances. Do I have the balls and pick the Giants to beat the Pats? Or do I shill out like every other person out there, taking history and accept endless Patriot-orgasm on Sportscenter for the rest of my life?

I have no back bone...

Prediction: Patriots over Giants

Enjoy your weekend, hope you'll be partying as hard as I will... without being in Phoenix... right?

UCLA IS VERY... UHH...

2008-01-30T13:34:00.000-05:00

Someone who goes to UCLA and is big time believer in the NBA's new marketing ploy adding "Where [insert thing here] happens" and put together a nice scrapbook of kinds for all of Youtube and my readers to see. If I ever get into Asian girls, that is without a doubt the first school I'll be applying for Grad school. From the montage, that's like Japan/China/Korea/Thailand of the East. Which isn't so bad, especially if they hail from the communist countries. I heard something like the guys have complete control over there? Stuff like calling sex on a whim? And I could throw baby girls away? I totally approve.

On a side note, I have to thank UCLA so much for some of the joy they've given to me at UF. I could get into the details, but that'd just take way too long. In the mean time, I've got some Asian porn to catch up on.

Sayonara, bitches! (for now)

EXPRESSING EXTREME DISPLEASURE

2008-01-30T10:18:00.000-05:00

Let me start with this on the Johan Santana trade:

This guy doesn't approve.

Yeah, the Mets are getting a Cy Young caliber pitcher who is moving from one of the hardest divisions in the American League, to the National League, which is like placing Lawrence Taylor in a Pee-Wee Midget game. All of this for four prospects. Am I the only person who doesn't understand the whole "trade big names for future talent?" Who's to say these guys will ever be any good in the Majors? Blah, another post for another day.

They had to drop that well-groomed-bearded-fucker in the National League East, to the dreaded New York Mets against my innocent Atlanta Braves. Johan winning 22 games in the National League? I wouldn't be surprised if he flirts with 26-27, as ridiculous as that sounds. Which just typing that makes me want to hire a trained and professional pigeon to beak-shank him on the mound.

How do I say I don't want him to play without having wish him harm? Hmm...

I hope his fastball slows down to a blistering 45 miles per hour.

More on this on the Carnival...

PACKERS HAVE HUGE FANS

I GET GIDDY FOR POINT GUARDS

2008-01-29T10:17:00.001-05:00

Last night was a good night if you get "more than excited" for stat lines, like myself. Just take Hornet's PG Chris Paul against the Denver Nuggets. Judging by the highlights, the Nuggets preferred the "no defense" attack, because I saw Kenyon Martin several times throughout the highlights. That helped Paul torch (23 points, 9 rebounds, 17 assists). I didn't get to watch the game because of local blackout, but I'm just curious to see how one could still score that many points and manage to score that many assists. Because I could use some help on my own game, which has been described as "sub-par" by many "homies" at the local recreational center. And I'm just simply gay for how great PG play has put the Hornets in first place in the West. And no surprise that the team in second place (in the West), has a pretty good point guard too.

The Jazz's Deron Williams had a rather special night as well, scoring 11, dishing out 14, and grabbing 5 boards in a win over the San Antonio ~~Lucifers~~ err... Spurs.

And it looks like Jason Kidd is finally going to get moved out of New Jersey. Which is about damn time, considering he's still pulling off triple-double's like it's his job (I guess technically, it is) and Vince Carter is playing a lot more like Vince Cunter.

NBA 2K8 IS A PIECE OF DVD GARBAGE

2008-01-28T00:15:00.000-05:00

I've posted about NBA 2K8 in the past, so everytime I find a video on it, I almost feel it would be a disservice from me to you if I didn't show you how God-awful this game is. For one, Tyrus Thomas is simply unstoppable... just like real life. Sure. Just take this clip for instance. Thomas is inbounding the ball to Ben Wallace, who is standing under the Grizzlies basket. Thomas still chucks it and ends up wet.

The guy who edited this video did a pretty good job. The text at the beginning is useless, especially when the label of the video is already something like "NBA 2K8 GLITCHES", I really don't need to be told that what I'm watching is a glitch. But special kids don't play by the rules. That's how Eli Manning got so far.

Keep leanin' Ben, you're look suave.
