Hello,
The NBA's how to destroy a league seminar continues in New York today. Once again the two sides are meeting together today. This is the first time they've met together in over a week, so much for urgency. The chances of any kind of deal being made today are slim.
Also it seems that the owners aren't backing down from their demands, if anything they want to make their end of the deal less favorable for the players. Don't feel sorry for the millionaires or billionaires. To those people that are being financially hurt by this I say it's time to find another job. That would be the people who work at the NBA stadiums. To the restaurants, bars and other businesses that are around said arenas, it's time for you guys to be more creative in bringing in business.
It looks like the NBA has taken it's ball and gone home. Again I won't miss the NBA. I just ask of the millionaires and billionaires to disappear for a few months. Please stop airing your underwear in public. There's nothing more boring or pathetic than watching a bunch of spoiled babies destroy their own league.
Today is the battle between the top two teams in NCAA college football. It should be a good battle between LSU-Alabama. I wouldn't be surprised if they play in the BCS Championship game. Boise State will finish the season undefeated and then get screwed again. That's a bit tired, but I can't really argue against LSU or Alabama as BCS Champion at this point.
The amazing Lauryn Hill and just one of many of her amazing songs. I really wish she would release a new CD that's as good as "The Miseducation..."
This isn't exactly the type of song you think of when you think of Black Eyed Peas. However I think this is a real cool song:
A couple of years ago I had the misfortune of seeing Nickelback in concert. And in all meanings of the word they blew. They just suck in every way imaginable. I'm not sure how but they do have a few good songs. But the fact that they are successful shows the dearth of quality rock music now. I had to laugh when I stumbled across this article a couple of days ago. The following article is cut and paste directly from espn.com.
"Call it "Occupy Nickelback."
Or "Don't Occupy Ford Field."
Whatever the name, there's an Internet movement afoot: A petition designed to keep the oft-mocked Canadian rock outfit from playing at halftime of the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers.
It began with one man: University of Michigan graduate student/Michigan native/Thanksgiving Day ticket holder Dennis Guttman, a vehement anti-Nickelbacker who was "extremely disappointed" when he heard the band had been tabbed.
"There's so much good musical talent in the area, known for being Michigan people," Guttman told Page 2 by phone Wednesday night, citing Kid Rock and Bob Seger. "Nickelback was the last thing I expected them to throw out there for the halftime show."
But this is a time of action, so Guttman took it. Inspired by a similar anti-Nickelback movementby Winnipeg Jets fans, Guttman found his way to the reputable Change.org -- also home of the recent Bank of America debit card charge revolution -- and created a petition (the first he ever started, he said).
Now, thanks in part to a widespread disdain for Nickelback, it's taking off. From 10 signatures on Tuesday night, it crossed the 22,000 mark on Thursday -- and keeps growing.
"I'm absolutely shocked and happy," Guttman said.
And he still has that main goal: "It would be fantastic if they change it. … I'd like to hear some good music during halftime -- hopefully something that better represents Detroit."
