Pineapple tidbits..
- I'm was so happy to see George Mason University defeat UConn today, and not because they are an 11 seed, but because I could literally hear the groans of thousands of people who lost countless amounts of money in their brackets pools due to the Huskies ouster. And yes, I'm still bitter I took Duke.
- What the hell is wrong with baseball. Can somebody tell me why the Indians are playing a "so meaningless its cooky" exhibition game against the Cincinnati Redlegs, THE DAY BEFORE they open the REAL season against the White Sox on opening night? They can't get one stinking day to rest from Spring Training and mentally prepare for the season?
- Vibe magazine has a feature called "10 Things I've Learned" in which they feature a different celebrity each month. In this month's edition, flabby, I mean heavyweight boxer James Toney is feature. Here is # 2 on Toney's list:
"Black is beautiful. That's why white women wanna fuck us, and white men wanna dress and sing like us."
And just a reminder, here is the most inflammatory quote from Sports Illustrated's piece on John Rocker back in 1999. The article that pretty much ended Rocker's career.
"On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
I am, by no means, saying Rocker was right or justified in his diatribe. I'm merely pointing out the parallels and the different reaction each will receive, or in Toney's case, lack of reaction.
- Can somebody tell me why the words "Cleveland State University" were painted on the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena for the women's NCAA tournament? Have the Vikings ever played a game in the Gund/Q?
- Here's something that has been bothering me, but I did not want to say anything. Tennessee LADY Volunteer point guard Alexis Hornbuckle broke her wrist late in the season, yet after missing less than 10 games, she returned to play in the NCAA Tournament. Jerry Rice once tore the ACL in his knee, and actually returned the same season.
So why is it Cavs guard Larry "cotton ball" Hughes is set to miss some 54 games, the final four months of the season, because of one little brokey fingey? I realize they had to perform a second surgery, but that was six freaking weeks ago! Is he collecting workman's comp or something?
The way I see it, Mike Brown and team management have two choices at this point:
1. Throw a jersey at him and vehemently encourage him to stop acting like a particular part of the female anatomy, or..
2. Make him wear a prom dress as he sits on the bench the rest of the season.

It's funny how the Double Standard takes affect thanks to the likes of CNN,ESPN,NBC,CBS, and of course ABC! Agenda Televison is raising our children, and the "Hippy Generation is in power! Though for our sakes that generation will die off! John Rocker was persecuted and drug throught the ground. So James Toney of the world get a pass? Though our generation time is coming and you better believe that i will be The Guy to lead our Generation in 21 Century! Though i won't expose my name so this won't comeback on me but relize this the Agenda's will stop so that the Real leaders can stop the maddness!
