Those who have signed... (Part Two: Chris Bosh addition)

By -
Well it looks like free agent power forward Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade will sign with the Miami Heat and form a nice one-two punch. We all know who Dwayne Wade is, but who is this Chris Bosh guy? Heres a quick rundown:
1. He played a year at Georgia Tech
2. Was picked fourth by the Toronto Raptors in the 2003 NBA draft behind Lebron, Darko,and Carmelo.
3. Over his 7 seasons he's averaging a double-double (20 ppg) and (10 rpg)
4. He's the Raptors all time leader in virtually EVERY category. (I'm not kidding)
5. He's also a five time all-star

His game:
Good rebounder, on both ends of the court. He has a real nice first step that gets him close to the basket for dunks and layups. His mid range jumper is good at 44%; which means other big men can't play off him. Best of all he can make free throws! Shooting 80% lifetime from the stripe. There you have it, player profile: Chris Bosh. And if you don't know, now you know.

Dear Ole Miss,

 According to knoxnews.com, you guys are currently searching for a new mascot.  I hear you still want to be  called the Rebels, but you feel like "Colonel Reb" is too old south and you've narrowed the mascot choices down to either a horse, a lion, a bear, a land shark or a hotty and toddy.   Lets eliminate the land shark and the lion right off the bat.  Lion is way over used in the mascot world and what does a land shark have to do with Ole Miss?  Bear and horse are out.  Both are overused as well.  A hotty and toddy?  Really?  Your mascot is going to be an alcoholic beverage? Nope not really smart for a college to use alcohol as a mascot.  To be perfectly honest I think the school needs a name and mascot change.   An old southern school that calls itself the "Rebels" just screams old south.  Not to worry Ole Miss, Hugo Brie is on it.  Naming teams is something I do, I'm pretty good at it. So here go with this: The University of Mississippi Oxen aka the Ole

Tiger and Kobe: America's favorite athletes

By -
According to a Harris International Poll release last night, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods are tied in first place for America's Favorite athlete.  This comes as no surprise as Kobe is a back to back NBA champion and finals MVP and Tiger Wood's body of work is outstanding and will presumably continue to astound fans.  It also shows that all we care about in this country is winning.  Which to me is a good thing, the personal life's of athletes is really none of our business unless they choose to share it with us.  So while the media outlets slam athletes for whatever faults they may have, at the end of the day the American people realize that they athletes are paid to win, and if you win we love you.   The rest of the list is as follows: Derek Jeter (3), Brett Farve (4) Peyton Manning (5), Lebron James (6), Micheal Jordan (7), Tom Brady (8), Drew Brees (9), Dale Ernhardt Jr. (10).

Allen "The Answer" Iverson

I remember when this guy was the most exciting thing about the NBA.  Now A.I. is considering playing in China?  Why?  I really don't get it.  Why not just hold open workouts and let teams see that you are serious about making a last run at it.  I just fear that if he goes to China thats the last we'll here of him.  Here are some of the highlights from his career: All Rookie First Team (1997), Rookie of the Year (1997), NBA MVP (2001), 4x Scoring Champion (1999, 2001, 2002, 2005) All NBA Third Team (2006), All NBA Second Team (2000, 2002, 200) All NBA First Team (1999. 2001, 2005),  oh we can't forget this:
