"Air McFly"

So Nike is finally putting out the hottest shoes to ever be seen in 1989, the shoes worn by Michael J. Fox A.K.A Marty McFly.

The light blue and grey hightops that were shown in Back To The Future II were released in limited fashion at an art exhibit hosted by non other than Kobe Bryant. He ever showed up in a fancy ride, the good ol' DeLorean.

Nike released only 350 pairs of the sneakers but if you missed out you can go right ahead and pay $1,000 on Ebay...happy bidding.

A-ROD You Dummy

So apparently AROD had sex with a stripper back in 2004 during the ALCS vs Boston and now she has come out to tell about it. Pretty convenient timing a day after Cynthia Rodriguez filed for divorce. Here is the article from the Daily News...enjoy....idiot (aimed at AROD..not you kind reader).

Boston stripper claims to have had two-night fling with A-Rod in 2004

"A leopard doesn't change his spots," Candice Houlihan (above) said about Alex Rodriguez.

Alex Rodriguez's bitter divorce took a new twist today with a report that a former Boston stripper had a two night fling with A-Rod in 2004 - the year the Red Sox broke the curse and won the World Series.

The ex-dancer, Candice Houlihan, told the Boston Herald she's rooting for A-Rod's wife, Cynthia, in the divorce battle.

"A leopard doesn't change his spots," Candice Houlihan, a hairdresser in Reading, Mass., told the paper. "Good for her. I think she's doing the smart thing."

Houlihan said she met A-Rod at Fenway Park in July 2004 after she and some friends hollered at him and a few other Yankees.

"We were really bustin' his chops and he walked over to us and I thought he was going to yell at us," she said. "But he introduced himself, asked me who I was and if I wanted to meet up for drinks later. I was like 'Hell, yeah!' "

Houlihan said she and A-Rod had a few shots of tequila and some cocktails and then went back to his room at the Ritz-Carlton and had sex.

"I felt bad afterward," she said. "I'm not a bad person. I know how it feels to be cheated on, it sucks. But a couple of drinks later, I didn't notice all that much, to tell you the truth."

He called her a few months later when the Yanks were in town for the American League Championship Series and they had sex again.

"I feel like I reversed the curse," she joked.

Hey Favre - Your A Jerk!

Ok Brett, we get it your awesome and your "every man's man" whatever that means Mr. I wear Wranglers. Brett Favre single handedly is making all of Wisconsin sick to their stomach's from this roller coaster ride he is putting them through. And the worst part is, this is the 3rd year in a row in which he has escorted the Cheese Heads to this amusement park he calls his life.

Look, you have 2 options, play or retire, you dont get to straddle the fence no matter who you are. You are putting the team and everyone else in your damn city in a tough spot and that is not a good thing. Favre says he has the "itch" again...well maybe you shouldn't have scratched yourself so many times before the season ended.

And boy how about Mr. Aaron Rodgers? This guy has been holding the clip board for #4 since the day he was drafted, and has taken like 20 snaps in the NFL, and now when Favre decides to "Hang It Up" and Rodgers gets to be "The Man" Favre says...nah...JUST KIDDING!

But wait, there is a twist, according to sources in Wisconsin Favre sent a text message (oh how savvy) to Packers GM Ted Thompson about wanting to come back. Instead of responding immediately Thompson said I'm on vacation we will talk when I get back. In other words...leave me alone Brett just enjoy your retirement. If the Packers are smart they tell Brett to relax and go be with his family and let the Aaron Rodgers era begin, let the Favre times be done with.

And Favre, if the Packers say no to letting you come back please don't go to another team to play, that will only end bad for you. If you go play for a team who desperately needs a QB like say division rival the Chicago Bears, you will not live to see your next birthday. Brett, do the right thing...stay retired and let football carry on without you.

Whitner Says A Mouthful

The last "good" memory for the Bills ended in horror and the game received a title that all would never forget. Usually when a game is epic enough to be labeled someone is going to be less than happy.

The Music City Miracle where Frank Wycheck lateraled the ball to Kevin Dyson and the rest was history. 1999 was the last time the Bills made the playoffs and now all of a sudden defensive back Donte Whitner thinks this team will win 10+ games? Give me a break!

Although Whitner is a up and coming DB with a very promising future this is something that he more than likely will regret to say. Whitner in an interview with the Sporting News guarenteed a playoff appearance for the Bills this year.

" Do I expect us to make the playoffs?" he says. "I'm guaranteeing it."

How in the world does he think this is possible? The Bills play in the AFC East, a division which holds the New England Patriots who are coming off a 16-0 season and a loss in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. An AFC East that hosts the new revamped New York Jets who have drastically improved their entire defense and offensive line. And the Dolphins...

If the Bills are lucky they sweep the 2 games against the Dolphins, win 1 against the Jets and lose to the Pats by less than 75 in 2 games.

Week one for the Bills will be a loss to the Jags, followed by another loss to the much improved and scary Raiders. Week 3 they might beat the Rams and then its a toss up in week 4 against the Cardinals. Week 6 is a lynching at the hands of the Chargers and the Jets get their win week 7 as do the Pats week 8. The Cheifs will fall to the Bills for their at best 3rd win of the season, and the Bills win again in week 10 against the 49ers. They then fly to London to face the Phins and that's win number 5. Their last 3 games are against the Jets and Broncos on the road, the Pats at home.

At best I see the Bills going 6-10 and last I checked 6 wins gets you a tee time and a comfy spot on the Lazy boy in January.

Terrific Tampa

They once were associated with garbage and losing but now they are synonymous with winning and triumph. It seems with new colors and a new name, the once Devil Rays, now just Rays, have gone from bottom feeders of the AL East to first place and 5 games up on the Red Sox, Rays.

Today on Monday, July 7th the Rays are 55-32, currently wearing the crown of all the teams in the league as for the first time in their brief history, they are the kings of baseball.

Currently on a 7 game winning streak with their latest W coming at the hands of the Royals, 9-2, it seems like now-a-days if the Rays lose, that's the new surprise. With a young phenom in Evan Longoria who is a rookie and a potential All Star already, and finally a rotation that's worth mentioning, this team is for real.

I have said it all along, with all their young hitting all they needed was some pitching, and well this year it all came together. Scott Kazmir, James Shields, Matt Garza, Andy Sonnanstine, and Edwin Jackson make up the 5 stepping stones to the success of the Rays who are currently shining brighter than the sun in their logo.

Could the Rays be the team that catapults from bottom of the food chain to World Series Champs? Only time will tell, and if they are as for real as we have already seen, then this 2nd half of the season will be no different. Another 40-50 wins and you are looking at the Rays as a 100+ win team and front runner to be the outright kings of baseball.

Say Good Bye To Seattle

About 6 million people in Seattle are losing a basketball team and for the first time since 1967 the city of Seattle will be without a professional basketball franchise.

The Sonics will be moving to Oklahoma City leaving behind the team name the green and yellow colors and taking on a whole new look and feel. The Sonics are leaving Seattle after winning one championship in 1979 under the coaching of Hall Of Famer Lenny Wilkins and the play of Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma and Gus Williams.

In 2006, the Sonics were sold to an investment group led ClaytonBennett , who said the team would stay in Seattle if a new arena complex was built. Yet, in August 2007, Sonics co-owner Aubrey McClendon announced publicly to The Journal Record that, "we didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here." After receiving a private warning from NBA commissioner David Stern, Bennett responded, assuring Stern that, "As absolutely remarkable as it may seem, Aubrey and I have NEVER discussed moving the Sonics to Oklahoma City, nor have I discussed it with ANY other member of our ownership group."

Well that proved to be true.

The New Sonics owners will be paying at least $45 Million for the move and as much as $75 Million in total when all is said and done.

Couple of names being thrown around for the team name my personal favorite right now is the Oklahoma City Outlaws. Has a nice ring to it.

Stand And Your Out

So apparently when you go to a football game you're suppose to act like you work on an Amish farm and show no emotion. We all know the general rules, no smoking, no fighting (although this happens like 100 times a game and at times is more exciting than the actual game) and no throwing things on the field. If you adhere to these rules the rest is fair game and you are allowed to enjoy your self.

Well not anymore, at least not in Kansas City, The Cheifs have passed a new rule in their Fan code of conduct that prohibits fans from...STANDING. That's right, that is not a typo, you are no longer allowed to stand at Cheifs games. It is so prohibited that its actually the #2 rules on the Fans Code Of Conduct list. And for the best fans, the Cheifs have set up a special text messaging system so that you can COMPLAING ABOUT SOMEBODY STANDING IN-FRONT OR AROUND YOU. Are you serious, what has the world come to?

How will fans go to the rest room or get themselves some chili, maybe there is a 5 second grace period for standing who knows. The vendors walking around the stadium won't be able to do that anymore, the bearers of the treats will now have to crab walk their ways up and down the aisles.

The good thing about this rule and the one thing that makes sense, is that the Cheifs aren't exactly an amazing team and well lets be honest, they haven't given their fans something to stand about since 2003, the last time they sniffed the playoffs.
