I am happy to report that I don't know who Chris Berman is.

That's way too specific to not be based on personal experience.

Yeah, well, now you know why I don't like to fly.

Rumblin! Bumblin! Stumblin! -Berman

Anyways, comish Goddell is meeting with Senator Specter today about the Patriots taping. So here's to hoping Specter isn't pleased and investigates even more into it and the Patriots get fucked again!

He has such a horrible voice. He sounds like he's always put of breath or about to gag. And he's always so slovenly. His hair sticks out and he's all sweaty and his suits don't fit. He's looks like the kind of guy you'd see passed out in an airport bar on Christmas Eve, then the next morning he shows up at his ex-wifes house and gives all his kids CVS gift cards as presents.

His back back back call during the Home Run Derby is possibly the most annoying thing in sports.
He used to be funny, but his charm ran out about 5 years ago.
Stuart Scott went the same route.

You both suck dicks. Chris Berman is the only reason that sports matters.

Along with this steroid scandal going on in baseball and other sports, a complete waste of taxpayer's money. None of this should ever go into federal jurisdiction. It's bullshit.

Jason Kidd has quietly -- and not so quietly -- hoped for a trade to the Dallas Mavericks all season.

Those hopes are about to realized, according to NBA front-office sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks and Nets on Wednesday reached an agreement in principle on a Kidd deal after talks had seemingly stalled last week. If completed, the trade would be the NBA's third blockbuster deal of the month.

Although sources say the teams are still sorting out final details, this deal was described as "imminent" by multiple sources close to the process after negotiations moved to an advanced stage Tuesday night. The deal -- salvaged from talks on a three-way trade with Portland that developed and fizzled quickly two weeks ago -- has Dallas sending 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse, the expiring contracts of center DeSagana Diop and swingman Devean George and guard Maurice Ager to New Jersey for Kidd and forward Malik Allen.

Sources say Dallas will also send the Nets the league-maximum $3 million, the Mavs' first-round draft pick this June and a first-rounder in 2010.

The Nets are expected to buy out Stackhouse's contract immediately, which could enable him to re-sign with Dallas if he waits 30 days. ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reports that the Nets and the Mavs are likewise poised to complete a separate trade that will send swingman Antoine Wright to Dallas for a future second-round pick.

I approve.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I approve.

I hate Devean George.
He blocked the trade... I hope they cut him.

WASHINGTON -- Bill Belichick has been illegally taping opponents' defensive signals since he became the New England Patriots' coach in 2000, according to Sen. Arlen Specter, who said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told him that during a meeting Wednesday.

"There was confirmation that there has been taping since 2000, when Coach Belichick took over," Specter said.

Yahtzee! (link to the full article)

This keeps getting better and better. Not only did Belichick cheat in the Jets game, or a few games in 2006, but his entire career as head coach.

Here's a big fuck you to Bill Belicheat.
