An Open Letter to the NBA Players

Dear NBA Players,

You have absolutely no leverage. Please stop with all of the rhetoric and posturing. Your arrogance will destroy the NBA. Take the 50-50 deal and stop this garbage.

Sincerely,

The Fans that provide the money you greedy fucks are fighting over

Raiders sign veteran Rudi Johnson

The Oakland Raiders signed free agent running back Rudi Johnson to a contract on Tuesday, reuniting him with his former teammates Carson Palmer and the recently acquired, T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Johnson, 32, has been out of the league since playing for the Detroit Lions in 2008. However, Johnson played his best football with Palmer and Houshmandzadeh in Cincinnati, when he made the Pro Bowl in 2004 . This trio of rusty ex-Bengal players hope to help the Raiders achieve similar success to their 2005 season with the Bengals: losing to the Steelers in the first round of the playoffs.

Sources cannot confirm the rumor that the Raiders have reached out to former Bengal, Chris Collinsworth.

NBA Lockout

One question that no one seems to be asking during the current NBA Lockout is, how does this affect the WNBA? With salaries sky rocketing into the six digits now ($100,000), will we see a similar situation arise with the cancelling of games? If that happens, then I am strapping on my Tom's, throwing a beanie on my dread locked hair, grabbing my homemade guitar, jumping on my fixie, eating some hummus, and Occupying the WNBA. Good thing Oakland doesn't have a team.  It might be grainy, but the joy is clear as day. Don't take this away.

Patriots-Steelers Preview

6-1. Tom Brady’s record against the Steelers has definitely not been kept a secret this week leading up to Sunday’s match up.  It’s certainly not news to any Steelers fan. You could have told me that Tom Terrific was 27-1 against the Steelers and I would have believed you.  As a Steelers fan, there is nothing worse than seeing Tom and Bill walking out of the tunnel to face the black and gold.  It is almost a guarantee that the Patriots first drive will be consist of 15 plays, go 83 yards, and last 9 minutes 45 seconds, ending with 7 points.  This is not a poor attempt at reverse psychology or being a Debbie Downer Steelers fan. It is reality.  In order for the Steelers to win this Sunday, the offense will have to be explosive, and the defense will have to make key stops; simply put.  The betting total is currently around 50.  That’s high for the NFL. Take the over.  This will be a high scoring, wheeling and dealing, huck and chuck it type of game. These two teams owned the noughties, and one team might have owned the other, but I can’t think of a better way to enjoy my hangover from Halloween Saturday than watching these two teams play.

Probably as painful as watching KC @ Oakland yesterday. Here's to hoping Raider Nation can look back on this inauspicious start to the Palmer era and laugh...

Boo the World's Most Ridiculous dog

Quick facts:

- Google Boo the Dog: 49,600,000 hits

- Find Boo on Facebook: he has over 1.9 million fans on facebook

- Buy Boo at a Bookstore: Boo has a soon-to-be bestseller

Let me repeat that last one, Boo has a best-selling book.

I'm not happy to say this, but I will admit, I did go see Boo the World's Cutest Dog at his book signing. I walked into a 21+ only event, that sold out in less than an hour, to partake in a glitzy meet and greet with the most ridiculous looking Pomeranian ever to exist.

I'll be honest here, I wasn't really sure what to expect as I walked into the W and rode the elevator up to the third floor. I surely did not know how to react when I approached the cocktail room and was handed a bag filled with Boo approved goodies, including his Herbie Hancock on my free book and photo. But what I did know was that I was in for a ride.

As I scanned the room, I quickly ascertained that the female-to-male ratio stood at a cool 20:1. The squeal factor in the room began to ratchet up dramatically with each passing moment, as if each Boo groupie had a preternatural ability to detect his rapid approach. In danger of befalling whatever strange illness had taken over the crowd, I made a beeline for the bar. 

But the unbelievable magnetism of Boo was only increased with each subsequent chug of my wine cooler (having my manhood stripped upon entering the cocktail party, I figured I didn't deserve to imbibe on a man's beverage).

In the end, Boo was victorious, having his main stroked, rubbed, tugged, and loved by every person in the room. And I'll be damned if I didn't say I loved every second of it.

NBA Lockout

If you must use social media to vent, please do so responsibly... The NBA preseason being canceled was not Derek Fisher's fault, sorry Laker fans. Maybe instead of fretting over missing the social gala that is the Staples Center, do some research on the issues, before clogging my news feed with trash

Even weirder than that... ever since watching the sickity ickity film Drive. I have yet to remove driving gloves. I have even begun to stitch a handmade silk scorpion themed korean jacket vis a vis Gosling's Driver.

Then, shall said jacket be given to homeless Gosling, who shall wear it while he sleeps on his bed of cushions.

On a separate and equally profound note. I am heading to the Rickhouse, a review will be up hitherto, with a recap of my drinks.

DRIVE

Saw Drive last night. It was sickity crickity.  My friend looks like a homeless man's version of Ryan Gosling.  When he stomps on that fools head in the elevator, I was like "Oh snap".  I liked the 80's-techno musical score.
