McNair Homicide...

Not sure where to even start with this story. It's obviously a tragedy, but certainly a tragedy that could have been avoided. I loved an article I read yesterday from a "friend" of McNair that said he always tried to be the best dad he could be to his 4 sons...in which 2 of the 4 sons were from his current wife. It's a sad thing when the whole world was under the impression that this guy was such a class act because he did some volunteer work throughout his career in the NFL. If this guy has always been a "class act" then I think the bar has been set really low.

Nice quote right here to check out from an article on ESPN tonight. You think this 20 year old server from Dave and Buster's was his first girlfriend???

"He liked her so much because they would go shopping and stuff and she would want to spend her own money," Abdi said. "The reason he said he loves her is because she's not trying to use him like other girls. She was different from other girls he had been with."


Holler back!

PS-I just read something on ESPN about a possible trade for Boozer that would include Big Baby Rip Hamilton. This could be nice, I mean real nice.

Daily Michigan

Here is Michigan's New QB for 2010, Devin Gardner. Much like T-Pryor, this dude could play WR. I'm LOVING THIS GUY!!!! I hate to say it, but I think Michigan is going to be amazing in a few years.

Ben Gordon: "Guess How Many Women Will Be In My Bed Tonight?"

Pistons Get Smart
I actually really like this signing. Ben Gordon probably is in my Top 5 of favorite college players over the past 10 years (behind Paul Davis, Avery Queen, Hercules from Calvin, and that Lorbek guy from MSU). I love the fact they have a guy that can pour in 25 in a quarter. Gordon is a legitimate go-to guy that the Pistons needed after the trade debacle from last year. I would say Gordon could come off the bench since he did so in Chicago. However, it makes way more since to deal Rip and possibly Tayshaun somwhere and get some much needed beef down low. I love Mad Max, but a 6'4" center won't cut it come playoff time. So who could the Pistons get in return for the biggest babies in the NBA? My personal opinion is Kaman and a draft pick, but I am not sure Tayshaun or Rip would make sense in a trade with them.

Summer TV Sucks
Since the Tigers played an afternoon game yesterday, I had some time to watch a little network TV last night. I watched a new show on NBC called "The Philanthropist." Let's just say NBC has not been real Philanthropic in terms of giving us good new shows. That show is about the most boring show I have ever seen. I ended up switching it after 10 min. A hit at our house has been "Wipeout." The show itself is pretty stupid, but I do rather enjoy people getting destroyed by objects rotating around and up and down at about 30 mph. Always a good laugh. I am not sure how to get on that show, but I need to be on it soon.

Nice Michigan weather. I love 60 degrees on July 1.

Dumars love Sloth?

Charlie "Sloth" Villanueva to the Pistons? Does Chunk get to sit on the sidelines with his Rocky Road ice cream while Sloth runs up and down the court hoping to get a Baby Ruth if he plays well?

2 New Pistons

ESPN is reporting Gordon and Villanueva will sign with Detroit. I'm sure they will both help a lot. I don't know much about the bald, scary and ugly man but I'm assuming he'll probably play a lot like Sheed (just not an A-hole). They are both younger guys that could have really good careers.

If they don't get anyone to take Rip or Prince in a trade, who is Detroit going to start? If Rip comes off the bench he'll cry like a baby so I'm sure he'll have to start. They are going to start both of these new players because you don't pay someone that kind of money to sit the bench unless you're talking about a future prospect like Darko.

They can't start Stuckey, Rip, Gordon, and Prince if they're all still on the team. All of these dudes will cry if they have to come off the bench. I guess being the first or second guy off the bench and making millions of dollars is worth crying about...probably why Rip didn't get along with Curry. Can't believe Curry would originally sit Rip to start Iverson who will be in the Hall of Fame some day.

I really hope the Pistons can trade Rip and Prince for a guy like Stoudamire or another tough SOB. The Pistons have been a bunch of babies and they need to get back to being a tough nosed team.

Holler!

Name Change?

Should we change the name of the blog to "T-Dogg, Possum and CSB's Roundtable"? It just seems that, other than the millions of people that read it everyday, we are the only ones that really contribute....

Simon Cowell...Gettin Paid!

I heard this morning that he's getting paid between $100M-$144M for next season's American Idol. Not bad money considering the season lasts 5 months. WOW!!!

Thought I'd add a little "pop culture" post today so I can try and forget about how the Pistons are working to be the worst NBA team in the Eastern Conference.

Holler!
