Can Wizards tie series with Cavaliers in Game 4?

Yep, you just know I'm rooting for the Wizards to do just that.

OVER-RATED. That was the chant echoing around the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. in Game 3 as the Washington faithful got on LeBron James like an irritating rash before their Wizards, facing a 0-2 deficit in their series with Cleveland, beat the Cavaliers in convincing fashion 108-72, to give themselves a chance to tie this best-of-seven affair this Sunday in Game 4.

Those OVER-RATED chants worked perfectly too as the Washington Wizards forced Cleveland to commit costly turnovers that ultimately led the Cavaliers to take themselves out of the ballgame.

23. That's the total number of turnovers the Cleveland Cavaliers committed in this ballgame compared to the 11 Washington had. Yup, we saw a different game than the ones we saw in the first two games of this series as the Wizards dominated the Cavaliers, winning all of the four quarters en route to the convincing victory in Game 3.

How did this happen? Was it because of the Wizards sporting new haircuts? Was it because of Colin Powell sporting a ''White Out'' shirt? Was it because of the inspiration of having Gilbert Arenas in the starting lineup? Or was it because Soulja Boy was inside the arena?

One thing's for sure though, the 2008 NBA playoffs officially started in Washington with a bang.

LeBron James led the way for Cleveland, scoring a game-high 22 points. Unfortunately for the Cavs, James was the only one doing the fight for them as no one from the Cavs scored in double digits other than No.23 and Devin Brown, who came off the bench to score ten.

Wizards star DeShawn Stevenson, the same guy who started calling LeBron James OVER-RATED, dropped 19, including his ''you can't see me'' basket in the third quarter. He was also the one who invited Soulja' Boy into the game to root against LeBron despite having a diehard fan in LeBron's son. (As if that meant anything...)

Game 4 is this Sunday in Washington. Can the Wizards tie this series and make it into a best-of-three affair? The Cavaliers definitely have a lot of things to worry about coming into this one especially after the Wizards made them look THAT bad in Game 3.

2008 French Open at Roland Garros is almost here

seth-edward-oneal.jpgBonjour tennis fans! (I've always wanted to say that...)

The 2008 French Open at Roland Garros will kick start from May 25 through June 8 in Paris, France, at the Stade de Roland Garros.

It is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world.

The French Open is one of the most prestigious events in tennis because of the slow playing clay surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tie break in the final set.

It is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.

The Tournoi de Roland-Garros, commonly known as the French Open, is played on clay courts that usually slows down the ball and produces a high bounce compared to grass or hard courts.

The French Open championship is also the title that has prevented female players like Lindsay Davenport, Maria Sharapova, and Martina Hingis from achieving career Grand Slams.

Three time French Open champion Rafael Nadal and Belgian Justine Henin banner the Men’s Singles Championship and Women’s Singles Championship respectively as they both won the coveted French Open championship from 2005-2007.

Nadal and Henin will be gunning for their fourth title in the coming 2008 French Open championships.

''Even if I wanted to have sex with animals, it is still none of your business!'' - FIA President Max Mosley

No, he didn't really said that but that's the drift he wanted everybody to get.

I'm sure you've already heard about the sex scandal that rocked FIA president Max Mosley and the rest of the F1 world this 2008 F1 season. Yup, after he was caught in a sex orgy via video tape, many people were clamoring for him to resign much to the dismay of the FIA big boss.

Yup, FIA president Max Mosley was asked to stepped down from his post after he was seen in a sex video having sex with five hookers dressed in Nazi outfits and as prison camp prisoners.

Mosley thinks otherwise, saying that his sex life, no matter how sick it is, is nobody's business. He continues to defend his right to an ''eccentric'' private life and said he would fight to continue running the world of motor racing.

''Most people say if somebody likes doing that, if it's not harming anybody, if it's in private and it's completely secret and personal, it's nothing to do with me,'' FIA president Max Mosley said.

''If they wish me to continue, I will continue, if they don't, I'll stop. But I will also say to them that it was always my intention, because it is, that I was never going to go beyond 2009,'' he adds.

''I would normally have announced that in about a year's time. But I will tell them anyway that would be my intention. The reason's very simple. If you stop in 2009 aged 69, you can maybe still do something else useful. Were I to stay on till I was 73, I'd be getting very marginal.''

There will be some sort of vote of confidence that will probably determine the fate of FIA president Max Mosley on June 3. It will decide whether the troubled FIA boss will remain in office or not.

Ha!

After all, he is the NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

As the 2008 NBA playoffs continue, Kevin Garnett was awarded with the NBA Defensive Player of the Year trophy after leading the Boston Celtics back to the postseason with the best regular season record in all of the NBA.

You read it folks, Kevin Garnett is this season's Defensive Player of the Year, winning the league's top defensive honors for the first time in his 13-year career.

Now I don't know why it took the league 13 years before they recognized the ''grade A defense'' in KG's game with the NBA Defensive Player of the Year trophy, probably has something to do with KG spending all those years with a loser like the Minnesota Timberwolves.

''I actually assumed he had won it before,'' Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. ''I had assumed he won three or four of them.''

Kevin Garnet, being the consummate teammate that he is, claimed that anybody from his team can win the award. ''I just so happen to be the one who talks the loudest,'' he later said, before being presented with the keys to a new Kia Borrego, a perk he got after winning the NBA's top defensive honors.

Garnett was traded from Minnesota to Boston before the season began. Now that KG is with a team like the Boston Celtics, the very team he led back to the postseason, it is understandable that the spotlight is being rested on him.

Of course, that also has something to do with the team winning all those games this year.

As of press time Garnett, with teammates Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, is trying to lead the Boston Celtics past the first round of the 2008 NBA playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks lost to the Celtics in Boston by a considerable margin in the first two games of the series and nobody is expecting them to bounce back against these Celtics even if the series has shifted to Atlanta for games 3 and 4.

Sorry ATL, but you are merely a welcome mat for the Boston Celtics while they advance to the second round.

Talladega Nights will come to NASCAR this Sunday

seth-edward-oneal.jpgNO, this is not the next Will Ferrell flick.

Seasoned drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch will be among the pre-race favorites for the Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, April 27 at Talladega Superspeedway.

The Sprint Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Sprint Cup Series was formerly known as the Strictly Stock Series (1949), Grand National Series (1950-1971), the Winston Cup Series (1972-2003), the NEXTEL Cup Series (2004-2007), and most recently the Sprint Cup Series in 2008.

Jeff Gordon, who will wheel a specially painted No. 24 DuPont / Pepsi Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in the Aaron's 499 on Sunday, April 27, at Talladega Superspeedway will be shooting for his third straight Talladega Superspeedway victory after sweeping both Sprint Cup Series events at NASCAR's Most Competitive Track in 2007.

''I don't think a lot has changed since the last time we were there,'' Jeff Gordon said during the recent Sprint Cup Series weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. ''We had an awesome, awesome day (last October), awesome race. Love to have the same result. Certainly any time we go to a restrictor track, and Talladega being one of the best ones out there for us, I always look forward to going there.''

Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch are among at least 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars that will pull double duty during the upcoming Aaron's Dream Weekend competing in both the Aaron's 312 and the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.

Other double duty Sprint Cup Series drivers that are expected to compete in both the Aaron's 499 and the Aaron's 312 include NASCAR Nationwide Series points leader Clint Bowyer, David Ragan, Patrick Carpentier, Greg Biffle, Reed Sorenson, Denny Hamlin, Dario Franchitti, Carl Edwards and David Reutimann.

''For race fans, seeing the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart compete in one race at Talladega Superspeedway is not enough,'' Track President Rick Humphrey said. ''Having many of the top NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers compete in next Saturday's Aaron's 312 provides extra incentive to our race fans to join us for both races during the Aaron's Dream Weekend.''

Who will win the Aaron's 312 and Aaron's 499 this weekend? Bodog sportsbook has the odds.

You wanna' meet former NFL Football running back Herschel Walker and his 11 other personalities?

Because, quite frankly, it'll take you an entire day trying to meet all of them.

And in case you didn't get that, former NFL running back Herschel Walker has been suffering from a split personality disorder that it would take a while trying to meet all of the Herschel Walkers in the world.

Walker claims he has around a dozen personalities that, understandably, drove him insane and almost pushed him over the edge. Well, maybe if he decides to come out of retirement, those 12 personalities of his can provide a team like the Green Bay Packers with a dozen more running backs and hopefully, that will help Green Bay coming to the 2008-09 NFL football season.

Maybe he'll find that worth living for eh? After all, Green Bay will start their search for their next hero after Brett Favre finally retired and he has 12 chances within himself of becoming the next legend of Lambaeu. He he...

Seriously speaking now, Herschel Walker was in a ''Nightline'' interview where the 46-year-old said he has been in treatment for eight years, believing that his disorder is now under control. He even came up a book to which he claims as therapeutic for him.

''I've totally changed from back then to where I am today,'' Herschel Walker said.

Herschel Walker became a Heisman Trophy winner with the Georgia Bulldogs. He entered the NFL Draft after three seasons in the USFL. He played 12 years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.

He also was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic bobsled team, aside from other interests like law enforcement and, get this... ballet. (I'm guessing his OTHER personalities may have something to do with that...)

After his retirement from football in 1997, Walker said the disorder began to overwhelm him. At one point, while sitting in his kitchen, he said he played Russian roulette with a loaded pistol.

Yep, Herschel Walker is the epitome of cool. In a weird kind of way.

Western Conference match-ups in the 2008 NBA Playoffs

Yep, the wild wild West finally calmed down to finalize its playoff spots.

With the regular season finally over, the seedings in the West were finally finalized for the 2008 NBA playoffs. And in case you've been living under a rock, Tinseltown is back on top after the Lakers won the Western Conference title for the first time since the 2000 playoffs.

That means, the Los Angeles Lakers will enter the playoffs as the no.1 seed. They will face the no.8 seed Denver Nuggets in a best-of-seven, first round series to kick-off their playoff campaign and with Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony killing some of the momentum his team gained after he was charged with DUI, the Lakers are definitely looking quite good to have their way in this playoff match-up.

Of course, Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson will still be focused as he prepares himself for a match-up with Lakers star Kobe Bryant. But then again, let's not kid ourselves with the idea that Denver will actually shock L.A. in the first round.

No.2 seed New Orleans Hornets will face the no.7 seed Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks had a statement game against New Orleans for the final game of the regular season, winning 111-98 when J-Kidd had a massive triple-double of 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Of course, the New Orleans Hornets are hoping for a different tune once the playoffs start. But I won't be surprised to see the Dallas Mavericks knock off the no.2 seed in the first round.

No.3 seed San Antonio Spurs renew their playoff rivalry with no.6 seed Phoenix Suns once they meet again in the first round. The last time they played a series in the playoffs, Suns star Steve Nash was on the receiving end of a shoulder block from Spurs vet Robert Horry. That ended with the Spurs moving on and the Suns taking an abrupt exit from the playoffs.

This time though, the Phoenix Suns will have a new HUGE option on the court, the seven-foot, 300-pound Shaquille O'Neal. This series should be interesting.

Last but not the least, two teams who are probably accustomed to each other especially during the postseason found each other again. No.4 seed Utah Jazz faces-off with no.5 seed Houston Rockets as Tracy McGrady (again) resumes his quest to finally get out of the first round.

The only problem is, the Utah Jazz have the homecourt advantage and although that probably don't mean shit in basketball these days, it does when you talk about the Jazz. After all, they do have the best homecourt record in the league, making them virtually unbeatable at the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

And oh yeah, do you know who knocked off the Houston Rockets from the first round last year? You guessed it, Utah.

Inside the mind of Detroit Pistons star Rasheed Wallace

seth-edward-oneal.jpgI know what ya'll are thinking, ''who cares'' right? Well, since this is my story and you're here viewing my page, EAT IT.

In case you're still here, yup, this is about the mind of Detroit Pistons big man Rasheed Wallace. And believe it or not, he's not as sick as you may think. (That distinction belongs to J.J. Jack...)

Rasheed Wallace, behind all the complaining and the technical fouls, is probably one of the most intelligent minds there is on a basketball court. He's already one of the best big men to ever shoot the ball from everywhere on that court. And when he's done playing, the guy, according to his peers anyway, also has what it takes to be... get this...

A basketball coach.

''He is bright and insightful. He'll lead the league in techs, but he also knows where everyone is supposed to be at all times.'' That's according to Detroit Pistons general manager Joe Dumars, obviously happy still of picking up Wallace back in 2004 that earned the franchise a championship.

Detroit Pistons head coach Flip Saunders said, ''He has all the makings of a great coach. He sees things before they happen.'' He he... It definitely sounds very unlikely looking at the brash Rasheed Wallace eh? But hell, coming from a coach like Flip, let's give my man Rasheed the benefit of the doubt.

Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy, also has some nice words to speak of Rasheed Wallace even though he coached against the guy when he was coaching the Miami Heat and now with the Magic.

''He's extremely smart, ahead of every play. He doesn't miss helps or rotations. He knows when it's time to shoot and time to pass. I've never understood why he isn't a perennial All-Star,'' he said.

With all that said, maybe we'll see Rasheed Wallace on a suit when he's done with his basketball jersey eh? I wonder how will he treat them NBA refs then?

Eastern Conference match-ups in the 2008 NBA Playoffs

Yes people, the beasts of the East will collide in the postseason.

They can say everything they want about how weak the East is compared to the West but one thing they can't deny is the fact that the East has homecourt advantage throughout the 2008 NBA playoffs.

You read it people, thanks to the no.1 seed Boston Celtics and no.2 seed Detroit Pistons, the Eastern Conference have the two best teams in the league, as far as overall win-loss record is concerned. If any of these two teams reaches the 2008 NBA finals, the championship series will start in the East side of things in the NBA.

That is of course, if these two teams reach that far. And as far as the Celtics are concerned, the young Atlanta Hawks, seeded no.8, is the first of two teams looking to shock the rest of the world in the playoffs.

The Hawks, led by Josh Smith, Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby, will try to outplay the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Unfortunately for the ATL, the Celtics were not crowned as the best team in the NBA this year for nothing.

No.7 seed Philadelphia 76ers is the second team looking to make a Cinderella run when they face-off with the no.2 seed, Detroit Pistons, in the first round of the playoffs. Led by Andre Iguodala, the 76ers have made their way back to the playoffs in the post Allen Iverson era.

However, with Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups and the rest of the Detroit Pistons waiting for them at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan, Iguodala and the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers should have no business being in the same court with these guys. (And I'm not saying that just because I'm a Pistons fan...)

The no.3 seed Orlando Magic, after a very successful regular season, will enter the playoffs and play hosts to the no.6 seed Toronto Raptors. This should be a classic match-up between Magic star Dwight Howard and Raptors big man, Chris Bosh.

This can go either way and it will be nice to see the Toronto Raptors win this series.

Last but certainly not the least, probably the most intriguing match-up in the playoffs is that best-of-seven playoff series between the no.4 seed Cleveland Cavaliers and the no.5 seed Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards have been calling out the rest of the Cavaliers all week, saying how bad they want to face this Cavaliers team in the postseason. You see, Cleveland has eliminated Washington the past two years and it will be nice for them to finally put an end to this Cavaliers dominance.

For Washington's sake, let's hope LeBron James gets a flu or something.

NFL Quarterback David Garrard signed richest NFL Football contract in Jacksonville Jaguars history

And get this, the guy could've still asked for more money. Not bad for a former backup eh?

With still more than a few months left before the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season begins, David Garrard inked a seven-year, $60 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the richest contract ever offered in the history of the franchise.

David Garrard, as stated, could've asked for more money but apparently, the guy was just too damn tired to negotiate so he just signed the last deal offered to him. Yep, the Jacksonville Jaguars just got lucky. He he...

''I pretty much had to say, 'Let's go ahead and wrap it up. I'm done,''' David Garrard said. ''It's too much stress on me and my family. My wife was done five weeks ago. She's already been on board with everything.''

''We just kept working on it and I finally just said, 'You know what, I'd rather be happy now, have the city happy now, have the team, the organization, the owner happy now than trying to string something out having everybody on edge.'''

Originally, Garrard, along with his agent Albert Irby, wanted something similar to the whopping six-year, $67.5 million contract Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo signed last season. But because the Jaguars just refused to pay him a cent more than what they were offering to the guy, Garrard just signed on the dotted line anyway.

''I've just seen it too many times,'' David Garrard said. ''I just didn't want to go through it myself. There's way too many things that can happen to you between here and now and when you're trying to get this done and that done. Is it really worth it?''

''I just said, 'It's time to make everybody happy' because I was already happy.''

Garrard was entering the final year of his four-year contract that paid him $2 million annually. He was playing as backup to Byron Leftwich then. Now that he'll be earning $60 million in seven years, of course the guy has to be happy.

Let's just hope the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise would still be happy like him today seven years from now.

''Could be'' matchups in the West for 2008 NBA Playoffs

This is where it's at people.

With the 2008 NBA playoffs upon us, it's quite clear that the show in the wild wild West is what you should be watching. Heck, the seedings haven't been decided yet in the Western conference and I reckon those seedings will continue to shuffle faster than your best online poker room up to the very last game of the regular season.

As far as the Western conference is concerned, the New Orleans Hornets are, as of press time, sitting at the top of the standings. If this holds up, they will enter the 2008 NBA playoffs as the no.1 seed, probably facing either the Denver Nuggets in the first round.

You read it people, not only has the New Orleans Hornets made their way to the postseason this year, they could be entering as the top seed. How about that huh? Believe it people, those bees are back.

Chris Paul, a legitimate contender for MVP honors, really has done something phenomenal to bring this franchise back from obscurity.

The only problem there is, the Hornets haven't been tested in these playoff wars that much yet and the Denver Nuggets, led by veteran Allen Iverson and young star Carmelo Anthony, definitely have what it takes to shock the no.1 seed and move on to the next round. This possible meeting between the Hornets and the Nuggets could be interesting.

The defending champions, San Antonio Spurs, could be entering as the no.2 seed to face their Texas rivals, Dallas Mavericks.

This seven-game series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks features two of the best power forwards in the game, Spurs forward Tim Duncan and Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki. Who'll win it? Um... Probably the team who wins four games first. He he...

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns renew what is turning out to be a classic rivalry. Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lakers have fallen to Steve Nash and his Phoenix Suns for too long now and this year could be the year Kobe finally goes over this speed bump.

Of course, the Phoenix Suns now have Kobe's ex-teammate, ex-nemesis, now friend again, Shaquille O'Neal. This will add more flavor to what is already shaping up to be yet another classic seven-game affair.

Last but certainly not the least, the Utah Jazz, a team virtually unbeatable at home, will probably play hosts to the Houston Rockets as Tracy McGrady again hopes to move past the first round for the first time in his career.

The only problem is, the first two games will be played at the EnergySolutions Arena, where, as I've stated, the Jazz are unstoppable. Will we see T-Mac cry like a baby (or worse, like Dwyane Wade...) again while watching his Houston Rockets take another first round exit from the playoffs? I hope not.

FIA will decide on the fate of their president Max Mosley

seth-edward-oneal.jpgAnd according to reports, a secret ballot will do just that.

You read it people, FIA president Max Mosley, you know, the guy who got caught in a tape with five other hookers engaging in a nasty orgy pretending to be Nazis and concentration camp prisoners, will see his fate decided by his own peers on June 3.

The FIA Senate agreed to a hearing of the Extraordinary General Assembly that will take place in Paris, where a vote or confidence will decide whether the troubled FIA president will remain in office or not.

So far, Mosley has belligerently refused to stand down in the wake of the scandal that has engulfed him following stories published in a Sunday newspaper. Despite calls for his resignation from a number of motor sport personalities and many motoring associations across the world, Mosley is prepared to take his chances on the Assembly vote.

The Assembly comprises 222 national motoring organizations in 130 countries, and it is in their hands Mosley's fate now rests.

The FIA released a statement and it reads, ''The FIA can confirm that the members of the Senate have unanimously approved the proposal of the President of the FIA, that further to the recent press coverage relating to his private life, an Extraordinary General Assembly should be convened.''

''The meeting will be held on June 3, 2008, in Paris. The General Assembly will include a vote of confidence by secret ballot.''

Sounds like they're out to save their president's ass eh? Max Mosley, despite the sick sex video, has maintained that he has done nothing wrong and the acts he engaged in on the video was harmless and completely legal.

Somebody bang this guy's head with a baseball bat quick.

''Could be'' matchups in the East for 2008 NBA Playoffs

The postseason is almost here and it is only normal that we bring what ya'll will probably see in the first round.

The 2008 NBA playoffs are coming, and both conferences from the East and West offer quite intriguing match-ups ya'll will probably enjoy. Let's start this thing in the East where I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the Pistons finally make it all the way to the NBA Finals again.

Of course, when you talk about the Eastern Conference, only one team probably comes to mind, the Boston Celtics. This team has been dominating every single team in the league, except of course the Washington Wizards who have become the only team to beat Boston thrice this year.

The Celtics will probably have a first round encounter with the young Atlanta Hawks. It'll be a banner year for the Hawks if ever they make it back to the playoffs. The only problem here is, the road stops in Boston.

As far as the Detroit Pistons go, taking care of the Toronto Raptors in the first round shouldn't be a problem. Sure, Raptors star Chris Bosh is quickly becoming one of the premiere stars of the league. But when this guy goes up against a guy like Rasheed Wallace, Bosh will need more than his flashy slam dunks to outplay the 6'11'' Piston forward.

Besides, the Pistons still have guys like Richard Hamilton, Jason Maxiell, Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups and when the Toronto Raptors only have guys like Anthony Parker and T.J. Ford to match-up to those Pistons, they'll definitely have a problem there.

The Orlando Magic, led by Dwight Howard, sit at the no.3 spot and will probably face the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round.

Like the Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers can also call it a banner year if they make a return to the postseason in the post-Iverson era. Losing in the first round to the Magic shouldn't kill their dreams for the future too.

Last but certainly not the least, the Cleveland Cavaliers face-off with the Washington Wizards in what should be the premiere first round series in the Eastern conference.

The Washington Wizards have caught fire as of late and with the addition of Gilbert Arenas, the Wizards are definitely one tough out in the first round.

LeBron James will need to shit out points in bunches again.

Who will win the 2008 NHL Playoffs? (As boring as the Stanley Cup finals will be, we have to ask...)

Yes, apparently, they're still playing hockey.
