Knicks Dancers

The New York Knicks have been a really bad team and the laughing stock of the entire NBA for the past few years but Uncoached proved today that at least their dancers are no laughing matter.

I really love seeing cheerleaders from different teams partying. Even though, I've got to be honest... The Knicks Dancers don't really have anything on the Kings Dancers. Oh well, they'll do.

Nike releases Hypercock-in-face ads… Homophobic?

That aint right

Ok so here are the new Nike Hyperdunk ads that you may see in the streets of NYC or LA right now. Obviously the ads depict guys getting posterized in a not so lovely way.

These ads have started a bit of a controversy.  On WK and Gawker people are crying out that these pics are homophobic.  I guess it's because it shows the guys who are being posterized, in a crappy position.

I really don't think they're that bad though.  I think people need to lighten up and just be happy that they aren't the dude in the red right now.

What do you guys think?  Are these pics homophobic?

Old Timers Day: 50 year old Nancy Lieberman signs with the Shock

nm_nancy_lieberman_080724_mn.jpg

ESPN - The Shock signed 50-year-old Nancy Lieberman, a Hall of Famer and one of their former coaches, to a seven-day contract on Thursday. She played 9:14 seconds in the Shock's 79-61 loss to the Houston Comets on Thursday night. Lieberman was 0-for-1 from the floor with two assists and two turnovers.

"It's really a one-game deal," Lieberman said in a telephone interview. "My motivation stems from the fact that I love this game and I never stopped playing it whether it's a pickup game with Deion Sanders and Tony Romo at a church or at a park with my son."

So I guess this was an effort to distract fans from the mishap of the other night when the women got into a huge catfight.

Did it work?

I don't know but it certainly got the media's attention, and rightfully so. Lieberman is 50. That's right, 50. No I'm serious, she's really 50.

The only player in recent history who still played professional sports later than her was Julio Franco who just recently retired at the age of 132.

It's too bad Lieberman really didn't help the much. Without most of their squad, the Shock easily got pounded by the Comets 79-61. Oh well. Better stick to bingo.

It looks like Josh Childress is already having fun in Greece

This week Josh Childress left the Atlanta Hawks to play with the Greek Squad the Olympiakos. The main reason for going overseas is that he can make more money over there right now. His deal is going to be about 3 years, $20 million after taxes. Not too bad for a backup.

So what do you do when you are a new country and you don't know anybody and you want to get your name out there. Hit the Club of course.

In this video that I found today via True Hoop, Childress is partyin' it up in Greece to Fat Joe's lean back.

Is that song just hitting the clubs out there? That song came out in 2004. They're a little late.

LA Sparks vs Detroit Shock: Now THIS is a Catfight

So the other day I made a post about what I thought at the time was a pretty decent catfight between Danica Patrick and whatshername. That's nothing compared to a fight that happened the other day in the WNBA though.

In a game between the Detroit Shock and the L.A. Sparks, an all out girl brawl broke out and it resulted in 10 players between both of the teams being suspended.

Here is the fight.

Ok so the fight wasn't as good as other fights that we've seen in the MLB, the NHL, or even in Knicks/Heat games but it's a pretty good start as the first all out brawl in the WNBA's history.

Is this what they had in mind when they shot this commercial?

Expect Great (Fights)!

Allen Iverson could be traded too?

Rocky Mountain News - Indications are the Nuggets would trade Iverson if the deal was right. They'd also trade Kenyon Martin or Nene, if anybody wanted either. And owner Stan Kroenke would be willing to deal the Rocky Mountains if he owned them and it would keep him from paying the luxury tax.

But Iverson has trade value. With an expiring $20.84 million contract, he would be an ideal acquisition for a team looking to clear salary-cap room for next summer in one swoop.

First, though, the Nuggets must decide what they want to do with their future. There has been no indication so far there is any plan, with the exception of Kroenke suddenly becoming very budget conscious and perhaps looking to start collecting S&H Green Stamps.

There's a slim chance the Nuggets could get under the tax threshold for next season. One way to do that would be to trade Iverson and get back a bit less than $17 million in salaries, although that figure could vary depending upon any contract restricted free-agent J.R. Smith might sign with Denver.

So It looks like its pretty clear the the Nuggets aren't serious about winning right now. If that was the case, they wouldn't have given Marcus Camby away for nothing and wouldn't be considering doing the same thing with Allen Iverson. Camby and Iverson were their best two defensive players. Camby is always at the top of the league and blocks and Iverson is always one of the top steals guys.

Maybe they are trying to clear up cap room for 2010 when LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh will be free agents but will anyone want to come to a team that has no players left in the tough Western Conference?

The Baron Davis and Steve Nash Nash Mystery Continues

Ok so by now I'm sure you've seen this pic of Baron Davis and Steve Nash riding their tandem bike to who knows where. I am still trying to figure out where these guys were headed and what is going on but now a video has been uncovered.

Don't blink or else you might miss them, but it's like if you spot a spaceship. You know that what you just saw was crazy, you don't know whether or not you really saw what you think you did, and you feel a little disturbed and frightened.

So the mystery rages on. Are they doing a movie or a commercial? Are they just crazy? If anyone comes up with any clues email me at sportfiends@gmail.com.

Thanks a lot to Deon K. for sending this one in.
