VIDEO: Dwyane Wade gets in Miami Heat Coach, Erik Spoelstra's Face

Posted by Brian Goldsmith at 8:33 am Basketball No Responses »

May 182012

The Miami Heat are coming apart at the seams. Chris Bosh is out. Dwyane Wade is reportedly dealing with a leg injury. From ESPN.com:

Wade has been getting some treatments in recent days to deal with a lower-leg issue that also caused him to miss some games at the end of the regular season. It seems to be affecting his performance, especially his jump shot, and is showing up in other ways such as getting back on defense and being lethargic on defensive rotations.

Suddenly LeBron James is being asked to do what he did in Cleveland. Carry a mediocre team through the playoffs.

While this is happening, the Indiana Pacers are firing on all cylinders. They smell blood in the water, and are going in for the kill.

Frustrations boiled over on the sideline for Wade and Coach Eric Spoelstra during a timeout in the 3rd quarter.

Spoelstra, perhaps questioning Wade’s effort. Wade, in so many words, telling his coach to get out of his face.

After the game, when asked about the incident, Spoelstra said:

That was during a very emotional part of the game, we were getting our butt kicked. Those exchanges happen all the time during the course of an NBA season.

Wade’s response:

I don’t even remember what y’all talking about.

Here’s what I’m talking about, the Miami Heat possibly exiting in the second round of the playoffs. The team that was supposed to win, not one, not two…blah blah championships, going home very early.

James Harden Exacts his Revenge on Metta World Peace: Elbows him in the Face (VIDEO)

May 172012

Remember when Metta World Peace delivered the elbow that rocked the NBA to James Harden?

Harden may not remember it, after the elbow resulted in a concussion.

Remember or not, Harden got some unintentional revenge last night.

Reggie Miller quick to point out that it was “inadvertant”, and it was. Besides Harden’s real revenge will be the Thunder knocking the Lakers out of the playoffs. Seriously, can we just skip to the Western Conference Finals? Spurs – Thunder is sure to be a classic!

Kimbo Slice Knocks Out Richard Dawson to Improve his Pro Boxing Record to 5-0 (VIDEO)

May 132012

Former Youtube sensation, UFC fighter, and straight-to-DVD movie star, Kimbo Slice, stepped in to a boxing ring last night for his fifth professional fight. He entered the fight 4-0 with victories over relatively unknown boxers. This time he would face 79-year-old, former Family Fued host, Richard Dawson. No? OK, so it wasn’t the elderly, former game show host, but a boxer named Richard Dawson. I think the television star would’ve put up a better fight.

Slice improved his record to 5-0. Up next: Pat Sajack.

Boston Red Sox: Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd Says Wade Boggs is a Bigot

May 082012

Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd and Wade Boggs were teammates on the Boston Red Sox in the 80′s. From the sound of the interview Boyd did with Dennis & Callahan on WEEI in Boston, it’s safe to say Boyd and Boggs didn’t share too many beers after the games.

Boyd on if he thinks Boggs is a bigot:

I don’t think it, I know it. He was raised like that. His daddy was. I’ve spoken with his dad. His dad was. The boy was raised like that. All of it ain’t his fault. Huh. All of it ain’t his fault. It’s inherited. It’s passed down. He used the word n***** every day. Every day. … Every day it come out of his mouth. Every day. Yeah, he talked about just like it wasn’t [expletive], like it was common talk. He learned that. That’s not uncommon for a kid that grew up in Florida. [Host: So Boggs said it all the time?] Every damn time he did it. That’s why there was so much controversy with me. But the bottom line was that’s just the way Wade is. I was made out to be the bad guy because I questioned that [expletive].”

During the interview Boyd also admitted to doing cocaine and smoking marijuana during his baseball career. In fact, he said he was high during the interview.

You know how it is. You’ve got courtside seats at the LA Laker – Denver Nuggets Playoff Game. You have one too many sour apple martinis, and be fore you know it you’ve wandered out on the court during play. I’ve seen it a hundred times.

Steve Kerr assuming the best by saying she might have dropped something and was going on the court to get it. Come on Steve! This woman is clearly drunk! TNT Sideline reporter, Craig Sager pointed out later in the broadcast that the woman had been yelling at players through out the first half.
