Okay maybe the plot lines don’t exactly match up as Dell Curry actually had a decent career as an NBA player and wasn’t at Rikers Island like Denzel but basically the kid is the same player as Jesus Shuttlesworth. A walking AND1 mixtape, the best shot in the game, and you know that the guy is WITHOUT question crushing it off the court.
Anyways, I feel like similar to Jesus S., Steph is an easy dude to root for, fun to watch, huge underdog of sorts and probably the smallest dude sponsored by Muscle Milk. That being said, Steph Curry basically doing it up like He Got Game 2 would play out. Thank God Spike Lee didn’t cast Tracy McGrady like he originally was planning on doing.
P.S. Is Steph half white? Legitimate question and I almost don’t wanna know the answer.
NBC Bay Area – Three nudist activists were found guilty in San Francisco Superior Court on Tuesday of violating the citywide public nudity ban that went into effect in February, the trio’s attorney said Friday.
Russell Allen, Oxane “Gypsy” Taub and George Davis were arrested and cited for violating the new law by disrobing at a rally outside City Hall on Feb. 1, the day the ordinance went into effect.
Defense attorney Christina DiEdoardo sought to have the case against the three dismissed, arguing that police only had a right to detain them, not arrest them.
She said people should not be arrested for a simple citation unless they refuse to sign the citation, cannot establish their identity or refuse to provide a thumbprint.
However, a traffic court judge on Tuesday afternoon found the trio guilty and ordered them each to pay a $100 fine and $92 in court fees, DiEdoardo said.
I feel like this new law is basically so tourists aren’t too freaked out by SF folks, to curb the craziness of Bay2Breakers/Love Fest/Pride Week and because California is broke as shit. But really, I only see this law being put into effect like the jaywalking ticket. Which my brother got once, but only because he crossed four lanes of traffic down the street from the police station as a cop was going by….the type of thing the police have to give you.
However, the real story I feel like is obviously the ring leader here Oxane “Gypsy” Taub. Nobody gives a nickname to the cops unless there’s a tremendous amount of self worth behind them. Love the cockiness of it though and she has a point, if it’s a citation, why would she need to be arrested? Keep doing you, Gypsy. Looking forward to big things from you this summer.
NBC Bay Area – The memory of Giants slugger Barry Bonds may be waning in San Francisco, but it looks like someone still wants a piece of him.
Sometime over the last week, someone took a memorial honoring Bonds. The six-foot high plaque that used to hang beyond right center field is missing, as the San Francisco Chronicle first reported.
The badge was bolted securely to the spot inside AT&T Park where Bonds hit his record-setting 756th home run in 2007.
It was in a public area next to the bleachers in the outfield. If you know the park, it was hung to the left of the Comcast SportsNet sign on the brick wall below the Coors bar in the outfield.
Bonds was one of the franchise’s greatest and most popular players. He is also a felon appealing his federal obstruction-of-justice conviction related to the BALCO steroids drug case.
I don’t know if you have been to AT&T but they have wiped ole Barry’s memory completely away from that park. Until that plaque got mysteriously “stolen,” it was undoubtedly the only thing left of the home run king in the park…and that’s including every picture, statue, and whatever is left in the gift shop. You know it’s bad when there’s more signs that Jeff “Definition of Asshole” Kent gets more recognition from the club than you. Hell, Kent was at the MVP ceremony for Buster.
Gotta hand it to the GM/Ownership group for this “thievery,” probably paid somebody on the ground’s crew’s cousin to heist this from the park so they didn’t have to face the public scrutiny of doing it themselves…which is kind of bullshit even if Bonds was a dick. The dude packed the stadium and rebirthed the team. So what if he and 50% of the league was on the assorted juices. Let Barry be Barry and let Timmy smoke.
But for real, how much you think the Giants paid the thief….5g’s? 10? Either way, I have to give the owners 4 Ratto’s for this elaborate mystery. It’s going to take longer for the Giants to find this thief than it took the FBI to find Whitey Bulger.
Jeez I knew this guys was soft, but I didn’t know it wasn’t just emotionally speaking. And as a Red Sox fan, good luck with Gonzo, Beckett and Crawford when the going gets tough. Get better though, Zach.
Congrats to the Warriors on getting into the playoffs. Let’s hope that they get in there and create a problem. Yet that’s going to be pretty tough to do.
Most likely teams to face: Spurs, Thunder or Nuggets. Not the greatest projected line up.
Currently they are projected to play the Nuggets which would be tough as the Nugs are 35-3 at home this year. Thunder of course would be a sprint against much more talented team. That’s why, I’d hope that the Warriors tank the last few games so they can play the Spurs. Sure they have a great record but I think we can all remember that game in Oakland where Curry went off and we dominated the Spurs? That’d be the most likely scenario to get out of the first round. Outside of any of those things happening, I really don’t think the Warriors make it out of the first round unless they play the Spurs. If they do beat the Spurs and somehow get to play the Clip show, that’s the only way they make it to the Western Conference finals. Sorry guys, no ring this year.
CBS – Bubba Watson spoke to the media at Augusta on Tuesday for the first time since last year’s green jacket ceremony and in true Bubba fashion, he broke down when talking about last year and his adopted son, Caleb.
Watson was asked what the craziest thing he did in his green jacket was and he responded with this:
We were swapping stories back here and my man right here last year drove me from No. 10 to Butler Cabin and I said “is this my green jacket?” He said “yeah this is your green jacket that you’re taking home.”
He paused for a little bit to collect himself and continued:
I told him I was going to go home and wrap Caleb up in it.
Then he just full on broke down and started crying.
He continued:
Out of respect, out of honor…
More crying.
Finally:
Out of respect and honor for Augusta National and one of the greatest clubs we have and one of the greatest tournaments. Out of respect for them I didn’t do any of my funny antics I would normally do.
The only thing I did was wrap Caleb in it.
He joked after he got done talking that he needed to end the press conference.
This guy is the worst. I’m certainly not one to pass judgement but the guy is just the worst type of attention seeker. Doesn’t drink at all (never has either). Self taught golfer. Owns a replica of the General Lee (which was for running Moonshine, Bubba). Hardcore tell-ya-about-it Christian. Pink driver. Tries to launch a Hovercraft (that was cool). One of the most expensive watches in the world (it’s white and looks like shit). And of course, cries whenever possible. The worst part is that he probably doesn’t even know how much of an attention seeking ass he is people give him a pass because he’s a “nice guy.” What a crock. Really hoping Tiger puts on the black hat and smokes him this Masters, then see Bubba cry about it. Until then, Bubba crying:
Unreal game. Probably the best championship game I’ve seen in college. Louisville goes to 3-0 in the championship game and Ricky “Undead” P becomes the only coach to coach two different programs to a title, which might be the most astounding stat to come out of this game. Haters gonna hate, but Rick also got named to the HoF this morning. Not a bad day, as my friend @JerryThorton1 remarked, time for Ricky Pitino to head to the Olive Garden for some Veal Scalapini and some unprotected sex.
Tough loss to the Dodgers today, Kershaw got lucky but great performance from Cain. More importantly, Pablo looks HUGE. No way Pablo Sandoval reportedly weighs 240. Let me demonstrate how this is not possible, using myself, who is the same height as Pablo (5’11) and weigh 205, for comparison
Below is a picture of Pablo Sandoval and myself. Notice the lack of chin on the left, as well as the “fat man definition line up” facial hair. Again, this is purely from the neck up. Also look at the necks: one can see an Adam’s apple on the right, while on the left there is an extended fat solstice overshadowing his Adam’s apple.
Continuing on, let’s look at his weight loss and then my current state to give it context. 275-240-205.
You have a perfect 35 pound difference to show for scale. This is believable, although maybe Pablo is 250 here, we’ll give him 240. Now check out Pablo from today’s game:
Vin Scully summarizing it perfectly. I put him at 3 bills.
