REP YO CITY

Lance Stephenson with a helluva dunk right hurr.  I'm nominating this for dunk of the year in college.  I'm not saying he wins but it needs to be mentioned when we do the awards.  p.s.  that face he's making after this dunk is the same face I make when I see airy.

MJ owns Bobcats

Something that hasn't caught enough attention is the fact that Michael Jordan is about to own a majority stake in the Bobcats. Now I don't want to talk about IF Jordan will be a failure or a success, only time will tell, but I wonder why there aren't more retired NBA players that own basketball teams. Did they not make enough during their career? Can they not pull together like 20 retired players and put up half a billion to own a team? Being a part of the league for so long, you would think the players know the ins and outs and can provide a players perspective when it comes to ownership, which can, in turn, lead to major success. But the only success we have seen is ex NBA players being horrible employees (ex. Larry Bird running the Indiana Pacers into the ground one game at a time). If these players actually took a major stake in a team (like Jordan is doing) maybe that passion and dedication that they had for their own careers will translate into running a successful team.

True the Bobcats are airy, but so are the Knicks and everyone is still excited about their future. MJ has some pull, I wouldn't be surprised if he brought in a big name free agent. And it really isn't up to just MJ to make decisions about the team, it takes a whole staff to do that. So I hope MJ gets the right people around him because he is going to have a tough mountain to climb.

MJ, the University of Cincinnati does take college credit for internships. You know where to find me, lets get it.

NO AIRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

so you wouldn't say anything either... for real?

  I don't understand how ESPN can suspend one of OUR BOYS, Tony Kornheiser.  He was hired to provide and argue his opinions on tv.  His show quickly became a hit and his outrageous comments were a major reason why.  He was even given a radio show that allowed and encouraged him to continue going off on random hilarious rants vaguely related to the sports world.  He was suspended for two weeks for doing just that.  After sportscenter anchor Hannah Storm(left) was caught wearing this outfit on live tv, Tony apparently had enough.  It's bad enough that ESPN keeps hiring fairly good looking girls and forcing them to use pornstar names as their on-air alias.  (I refuse to believe Sage Steele and Hannah Storm are names given at birth.)  They can't keep encouraging them to dress like this and not expect people to react.  As far as I'm concerned,  Tony Kornheiser is a victim of his own success and ESPN provided the subject matter for him.  It wasn't like he had to go out of his way to find something to critique.  c'mon now...fire engine red knee-high boots with a plaid skirt above the knees?  That outfit is begging for attention and inappropriate side comments and everyone knows it.  So keep your head up Tony and remember not to make fun of airy ESPN employees no matter how easy and necessary it might be.

NO to T.O.

We're from the Nasty Natti, so we have to talk about First and 10. They had our boy Chad Ocho Cinco on there, doing the usual being funny as hell, flirtin with dana (she wants it) and the topic of T.O. as a Bengal came up. Now ladies, I know ya'll want T.O. in town (like ne of you have a chance with him) but the dude is not that good anymore. He's a big name and that's about it. Is this what the Bengals consenting to, just signing the biggest names our there. They already got Cedric Benson, Matt Jones, Larry Johnson, you just gonna go after other big names too? I mean Brian Westbrook is out there, LT, T.O. might as well bring all them on board. Look, big names might sell tickets but what Cincy is starving for is a championship. I don't even like the Bengals and I don't think this is a good route for them. Post 2008 T.O. is airy, bring back the old T.O. then we can talk. BENGALS DON'T DO IT!

or wait a minute, actually you should sign him, we need sh*t for our blog

THAT'S AIRYYYYYY

No Airy Class Act: # 21 LT

In the world of sports where big egos, and immature acts are unfortunate, but usual occurances, anyone who has ever been associated with LT has described him as the classiest player they have worked with; but I don't need anyone to tell me that after I watched his press conference today. The tears ( I would be crying too if I knew I would never get to wear that crispy powdered blue jersey again), and the emotions, symbolzed to me a man who has no fear of saying what's in his heart...let's just say he's no Brett Farve...yea im gonna spell it like it sounds. That was one of the realest things I have seen; in other words, his press conference was as real as Rafael Palmero's finger to the congress during his steroid hearing was fake. Emerging from a program like TCU, LT was a underdog 'till he started stomping all over NFL defenses; and thats because he was hungry. And I couldn't help but notice that after being released by the Chargers, LT is once again hungry. He's hungry...hungry for a trophy, a ring, a chance to put noice cancelling headphones on his baby's ears and raise him in the air in front of the entire football universe. I'm a realist and I know that LT blessed the Chargers with his best years already, and he's never going to get that burst back that he once had; but LT can definitely be a factor whereever he goes...and it's because HE WANTS TO PLAY! And if a team that has a chance of winning the Super Bowl doesn't want him, I know of a locker room that could use his knowledge and dilligence to improve... 21, get in your drop top phantom, get on Freeway 5, and go straight north till you get to the first exit that leads to the Oakland Raider's arena. Not only can they use LT to help Jamarcus grow up and develop leadership on a team that has a vacuum of many things (leadership being just one of them), but along the way he can teach Darren McFadden, and Fargas a few things so that they can run the ball even 10 percent of how LT ran it once upon a time for the chargers. Being an avid sports fan, and before that a human being, I cannot help but wish someone of LT's caliber and character all the best whereever he goes next...and whether he wins a super bowl or not...LT you are always going to be a champion...cuz you worked like one, you played like one, and you behaved like one...

Most Airy Dude Of The Week: Psycho Trinity Squash Giant

Most Airy Player of the Week

alright i don't care if he would have dropped 50 in his next game, Antawn Jamison's debut performance with the cavs on friday solidified his spot as the most airy player of the week. i've heard people talk about his nerves and how it was his first game with a new team and happened to be playing in his hometown, too. that's true and does provide some reasoning but there are no valid excuses for going 0 for 12 in a professional game. just stop shooting once you miss like 8 or something. not only did he keep shooting and missing, he also didn't pass the ball. 1 assist for the night in nearly 30 minutes? and he got swatted 5 times? for real? nobody's held the roc that long and done that bad since hov was in charge. i'm not even gonna bring up how many lay ups he allowed on defense. I'll admit he came back okay yesterday with a solid performance in another loss, this time at the magic (19 pts and 8 boards). But like i said earlier, there's nothing he could have done sunday that could save him from friday's performance in charlotte. So let's recap the first week awards:

No Airy Player of the Week: Carmelo Anthony......KrossOver wattup!

Honorable Mention:  Russel Westbrook...  this kid's puttin up impressive numbers and showing off crazy athleticism while playing in the shawdows of the Durantula and the 9 game winning streak for OKC*.*editor's note:  this is 1st official case for a No Airy blog jinx.  The OKC Thunder went on to lose the next game they played to end the streak at 9.

Most Airy Player of the Week: Antawn Jamison... just look at his stat line.  u can watch the highlight for visual proof and/or if you enjoy watching people fail.

Honorable Mention: Brian Scalabrine  nuff said

"Cannot imagine a worse trade in the NBA than Brian Cardinal for Darko Milicic and cash. The cash is worth more than both players' futures."

Hello world!

my partna dem started it off and ima put my two cents in. Like the winter olympics, forreal though? Male figure skaters, wtf. Who comes up with these outfits? Are you really trying to look that gay? NO AIRY.

But if your blogging, you got to talk about Tiger. Wow did he get public speaking lessons from the same dude as Barrack Obama? And I'm mad at ESPN, giving time to a facial expression interpreter, she don't know sports. Tiger always controls his emotions, he ain't Paris Hilton. And they act like he killed somebody, the man just committed adultery, people make mistakes nobody got physically hurt. I'm tired of the media trying to make a story seem worse than it is. Your a billionaire Tiger, your good, do you, forget everybody else. I can't even say nothing bad to you, I'm not even close to your tax bracket.

No airy player of the week: Carmelo Anthony, krossover ent. what up!

Leave something, let's get this blog poppin

You are now entering a No Airy zone...

Welcome to the No Airy blog:  a place for casual and critical discussions about the NBA and other stuff.  Alright it's mostly a place for us to call out people and teams for being airy but go ahead and feel free to comment and discuss your own opinions if you don't think what you have to say is airy.   We don't tolerate airy.  The word airy is used to describe something or somewhere that is acceptable to a point but nowhere near the highest quality of its peers.  It basically means 'not good.'  It can be used in all aspects of life.  Like "dam, when's my car gonna get out of the shop?  this bus ride is airy."  or a 15 minute meeting at work that turns into an hour of useless information you'll never need to know.  a meeting may be necessary but at some point it just becomes airy.  or how about girl that's a 5 or a 6.  I mean they're acceptable to a point(a point somewhere past 5 or 6 drinks), but overall...airy.  We're going to be talking more hoops.  Like what's up with reggie miller commenting on Lebron James' signature chase-down blocks last night during the Nugs/Cavs game.  Reggie, that's airy. I'm pretty sure tayshaun prince banned you from talking about those type of blocks forever.  He needs to learn more about successful sports commentating from Jeff Van Gundy.  There are too many good things to write about JVG but one great example is how although he is working for a specific network that is responsible for choosing what games to air on national television, he openly endorses and encourages the idea for the fans to vote for what games are televised and is highly critical if the network chooses to televise a game with airy teams playing.  He embraces his connection with the fans and enjoys the game as if he were watching it with some friends with small doses of basketball knowledge thrown in.  He does not over saturate the game with meaningless comments about situations he has no familiarity with.  at least Van Gundy's meaningless comments are intended for comedy.  So come on, Reggie, when it comes to commentating let's keep it real from now on.  Just don't let keeping it real go wrong again...at least not around cameras.  NO AIRY!
