Maybe it's just his show on VH1 distorting my views and opinions, but this is getting ridiculous.

kobe bryant shares america's favorite sports star
I'd understand if he had to share it with Derek Jeter or Peyton Manning.
But Tiger Woods!?!
Kobe got backlash for YEARS after the incident in Colorado and Tiger is still America's favorite!?
SMH.
This demographical comparison gives Kobe the win by default, by the way.
contract wars!
According to Chris Johnson's agent, the Tennessee Titans and the running back have agreed on a restructured deal that will ensure his participation in the team's upcoming training camp.
Most people are aware of CJ running for 2,000+ yards in 2009, making him the sixth member of the club and also broke the NFL yards from scrimmage record. His season was so groundbreaking that he has quite possibly eclipsed the Vikings' Adrian Peterson as the best running back in the league. This is the same player who was projected to make $550,000 this year and less than his back-up, Alvin Pearman.
I know NFL teams can't increase a player's base salary by any more than 30% and I also realize that there have been so many bad contracts handed out that the "right" thing to do is to simply play out the initial contract that was awarded, but this may be one of the rare instances that it should be permissible.

money to joe

Maybe the Hawks have short-term memory because that sweep in the second-round was almost as ugly as the fan reaction when he said he could care less if they supported his team. They responded with quite the amount of ether.
Now, the Atlanta fans will be irate when his team needs him to earn this monumental contract with the implications that he's going to perform consistently at a superstar's level, and he doesn't.
Can't be mad at Joe for knowing exactly how to play the game when it comes to increase that paycheck despite the hate.
The question is going to be how long can Atlanta hold on to his contract before they trade him to:
A. Please their fans.
B. Rebuild their team after a number of future exits in the first round of the playoffs.
C. Both A. and B.
Honestly, if you ever wondered why some franchises are always seemingly successful in their respective sports, these are the type of bad decisions that allow them to do so
SMH #1
From the SMH Files:
National Enquirer, of course, was the source of this. I wouldn't say the outside world despises him, though.
I wasn't sure whether to be disgusted by this or simply applaud it. I'm sure Fred Goldman never envisioned this as the prison punishment for O.J. Simpson. They love him there.

"blood thicker than water…"
10-minute video of the Cavaliers' attempt at saving the city of Cleveland from obscurity. Can't knock the hustle.
Enjoy.
treading thin ice
"Bad judgment" seems to be the phrase associated with the Eagles quarterback when given the reasoning behind his participation, or lack thereof, with the shooting that occurred at his birthday bash on June 15.
number thirteen
No. 1 ranked Serena Williams stays on top by winning her fourth Wimbledon title, increasing her Grand Slam total to thirteen. Her opponent this time was No. 21-ranked Vera Zvonavera of Russia.
Williams won 6-3, 6-2 and never lost a single set in two dominating weeks of tennis.
She is entering the time of her career where her only competition is history. Her 13th Grand Slam title pushed her ahead of mentor Billie Jean King for sixth place all-time.
All-Time Major Tournament Wins:
- Margaret Smith Court, 24
- Steffi Graf, 22
- Helen Willis Moody, 19
- Martina Navratilova, 18
- Chris Evert, 18
- Serena Williams, 13
Wins aside, is Serena the greatest female tennis player of all-time?
Martina Navratilova's reply, courtesy of ESPN:
"Top five," answered Navratilova, without a moment's hesitation. "It's not just about how many Slams you win or how many tournaments you win -- it's just your game overall. And she's definitely got all the goods. It would have been fun to play her, but at the same time, I'm glad that I didn't have to."

employee discounts
Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks agree to a deal worth $80 million over four years, including a no-trade clause.
Paul Pierce and the Celtics agree to a deal worth $61 million over four years.
Both players do not take the maximum to leave room for the greater good of their respective teams. The Mavs hope to land a viable sidekick for Dirk and the Celts hope to re-sign Ray Allen.
Good days for Dallas and Boston. Can't wait for these jerseys to hang in the rafters.
