Last 30 Days

	Not Bad For The 7th Best Player
	Another night in the NBA, another 40 for the NBA's so-called 7th best player. Kobe Bryant lit the Utah Jazz up in their own barn, a night after torching the Phoenix Suns for 48 and famously saying "Not bad for the 7th best player in the league." Not bad at all, Mamba. Apparently he was bumping around online and ran into the latest ESPN.com player rankings. Air Date: Jan 12, 2012

Mike Brown On Kobe And LeBron

Before last night's game in Utah, Lakers coach Mike Brown spoke about the difference between LeBron and Kobe: "They're both competitive. They both want to win. There's just a different feel to the two guys. It's hard for me to put into words." Let me help you with this one coach. One's cold blooded, one's not. One's a facilitator, one's a killer. And one will fight you if he doesn't get the ball at the end of the game, and the other will fight you if he does. Air Date: Jan 12, 2012

Your Team Is On Fire Rex

Has anyone out there seen Rex Ryan? Big fella, gray lettuce, probably in a New York Jets hoodie with mustard stains. Yeah if you see him would you mind letting him know that his team's on fire, and he might want to show up and hose it down. Or hit it with some sand. Or at least say something. Multiple Jets players attacked Mark Sanchez, multiple Jets players then defended Mark Sanchez.... And the head coach who never stops talking, won't start, and has yet to say a thing. It feels like half of the Jets roster has weighed in or taken a shot on Sanchez, but the guy who drafted him hasn't done either. Shoot, even guys on other teams have takes. Giants D-end Justin Tuck saw all the anonymous sniping that Jets players did through the New York Daily News, and tweeted two words of advice for them. "Unnamed sources" = cowards. Man up."

Pump Your Breaks Clipper Fan

Clipper fan, pump the breaks. Beating the Heat last night was nice, but it doesn't stamp you as an official contender. So go ahead and stop mapping out your parade route and looking for a place to hang your banner. The calendar says January, not June. It was a nice win. A gut check win on the second night of a back to back. But you didn't send anyone, any message with it. There's no such a thing in the third week of the season. You did what you were supposed to do: protect your house. I'm not looking to a big buzzkill or a Clipper cooler; I love these guys; but Clipper fan needs to dial it way down; you act like you have replaced the Lakers as the main tenant at Staples, and that those are Clippers banners hanging.

Tim Tebow's Fire

We know Tim Tebow inspires everyone in the huddle with his leadership. We know he inspires his teammates on defense with his passion. And now we know he inspires pop singers from yesteryear to rewrite their lyrics. If you don't watch a boatload of VH-1, or you weren't born before 1980, you may not know who John Parr is. He's like a British Brian Adams, with less hits. Well, actually, one hit: "St.Elmo's Fire” ... it got him a Grammy nod, sold tons of something called "Records" - and was a steady FM Jam for years back in the day. And now, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, John Parr was so moved, so impassioned by Tim Tebow, that he went back and re-recorded the lyrics of his song and changed St. Elmo's Fire to ... Tim Tebow's Fire. Not to make a quick cash grab. Not to include as a bonus track on a Best of. But simply to honor Tebow. "I was inspired by Tim Tebow so I wanted to modify the lyrics...in his honor of the way that he lives his life as being a great example." And he did. Forget that this track dropped years before Tebow did, the song now sounds like this “Gonna be your man in motion all I need's my Broncos team Take me where my future's lyin' Tim Tebow's Fire!" WOW.

Gang Green Still Making Noise

Leave it to the New York Jets to miss the playoffs but make more noise this week than any of the teams that are still playing. Gang Green had themselves a Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer got the axe: he’s out, Tony Sparano is in. Good change, even if Sparano has never coordinated an offense before: but the guy’s a good leader, and this group, more than any other, needs someone to demand some accountability. Because a chunk of the team spent the rest of the day tearing up q. b. Mark Sanchez anonymously: the New York Daily News quotes several anonymous Jets annihilating Sanchez and asking for Peyton Manning: Manish Mehta quotes one source as saying “Come on. That’s a no-brainer. If you have a chance to get a healthy 36-year-old Peyton Manning and you don’t do it, then you’re stupid. If I could get a healthy 36-year-old Peyton Manning, then, hell yeah, I would trade Sanchez.” And if you could leak some hate on your quarterback to the media without putting your name on it, would you do that, too coward? Another player says Sanchez was not improving. Another says the team babies him. Air Date: Jan 11, 2012

Culture Change In Oakland

What a ride for Raiders’ head coach Hue Jackson: from being Al Davis’ de facto successor and face of the entire organization to getting broken off in about three months time. Look, it’s a tired phrase, but if anyone needed a change in culture it’s the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis dominated the organization for decades and his mission and philosophy never changed. But their record did. For the worse. Jackson was Davis’ last hire, drunk on his authority, and he had to go. The Raiders have long had the league’s most dysfunctional house: that’s why they went to one of the NFL’s more stable franchises….: to bring in new GM Reggie McKenzie to take a wrecking ball to that house and start over.

Money May Calls Out Pac-Man

Love him or hate him and there’s no doubt, you fall into either one of those two categories with Floyd Mayweather…you have to admit, Money May is smart. In fact, brilliant in the way he markets himself. Tweeting pics of crazy betting slips and luxury sleds while on his way to the hole is great for his brand. But publicly calling out and busting up Manny Pacquiao is genius. And he just laid the Pac-man out in two simple tweets: “Manny Pacquiao I’m calling you out lets’ fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My jail sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up punk.” ‘Step up punk’ is the Twitter equivalent of dropping the mic and walking off. That’s a pretty serious left-right combo for a guy generally known for his slick defense and unwillingness to take any chances. And he scored huge with it. Never mind the 57,000 or so followers he added immediately after saying it, he’s backed Pacquiao up, against the ropes and he’s unable defend himself… What’s it going to be, Pac-man: are you going to fight Mayweather May 5th or not?? It’s the fight everyone wants to see... Even a judge said she was fine with Mayweather fighting first and then reporting to the cooler. For the longest time it looked like Mayweather was ducking Pacquiao now it looks like it’s the other way around. Air Date: Jan 11, 2012

The Hoodie Brings McDaniels Back

So, Bronco fans, I’m guessing you really don’t hate Josh McDaniels afterall. Maybe you don’t love the guy, but you have to respect him, right. He was the one that put himself on the line by drafting Tim Tebow. He was the one that drafted DeMaryius Thomas. Where would you be without those two; so instead of hating on McDaniels, you probably want to actually thank him, right?? Ehhhhhh!!! Air Date: Jan 10, 2012

Huge Tip Of The Hat To Alabama

It’s never easy to sit here and slam a crow sandwich. I know, I’ve hammered more than my share. And they never go down easy. But this one is worse than the rest. (There isn’t a glass of water big enough to chase the one that’s currently lodged in my esophagus.) I picked LSU to win this game. I said they’d win because they were the more complete team, they were better defensively, had better quarterback play, and that if they beat them in their house, they shouldn’t have any issue handling them in what was in effect, their own. I even had the audacity to suggest that maybe, maybe the Mad Hatter had the Nictator’s number, having beaten him twice in a row. Eeeehh! Air Date: Jan 10, 2012
