Seriously, I have no idea what to think of this movie. First off, Affleck and Timberlake together is intriguing in its own right. And a movie about online poker, I mean come on? Just seeing the cards and chips gets me going. On the other hand, the movie looks kind of corny and far fetched. I don’t know how I feel. I guess I gotta see it, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up prematurely.

Game over. Dickie V for president.

[PennLive] Penn State defensive tackle Nate Cadogan has left the team for personal reasons, coach Bill O’Brien confirmed today. Cadogan, a fifth-year senior, was moved to the defensive side of the ball this spring and O’Brien expressed an interest in him becoming a two-way player.

He won’t get that chance as Cadogan moves on from the program. The Portsmouth, Ohio, native has bounced around positions since his arrival on campus, entering the program as an offensive tackle before seeing time at tight end.

Why in the world is this a story on Penn Live, and now other surrounding media outlets? Cadogan, who wasn’t anything special talent-wise by the way (no offense Nate), graduated in May with a GPA higher than 3.0. All he is doing is deciding not to stay and play as a fifth year senior, but rather go about his life. This decision is made by a number of Penn State football players all the time, every year. No idea why this is a story with a big headline on PennLive.com

It’s so ridiculous. A player leaving Penn State is now automatically a story.

The difference? SA had four turnovers in an NBA finals game on the road. Parker had 21 points and 6 assists (nothing astonishing), but ZERO turnovers. That’s incredible and that’s a floor general.

LeBron had 18 pts, 18 rebs, 10asts, and only 2 turnovers, and unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. He only took 16 shots (7-16 FG, 3-4 FT), and may need to get that number up to around 20-21 shots per game if the Heat are going to win the series. LeBron was doubled every where, but that’s nothing new. Also, San Antonio did a great job slowing down the game and preventing Miami (James/Wade) from getting easy buckets. Miami had only 9 fast break points and attempted only 17 FT’s (made 12).

Ps. 20 pts, 14 rebs, and 3 blks for Tim Duncan by the way, at 37 years old. He looks like he’s 25 again. It’s unbelievable. The dude is a machine.

Drama!

Mike Vick isn’t happy and he wants everyone to know [via a Geoff Mosher story at CSNPhilly.com]:

“Hopefully, Chip makes a decision before training camp and we won’t have to answer that question,” Vick told CSNPhilly.com, “so we can go out there as quarterbacks and just focus on this season and not answer questions about competition every day.”

Asked if tension could mount between he and Foles as the competition plays out this summer, Vick said, “Yeah, but hopefully we’ll have an answer by then, so I’m not going to answer that.

“I won’t want to continue to answer those questions. I won’t continue to answer those questions until Chip makes a decision.”

And…Vick doesn’t give a shit if his comments are stirring the pot [via a Geoff Mosher story at CSNPhilly.com]:

Vick isn’t concerned about any backlash that may come from being selective with questions he will answer.

“Why not? Who cares?” he said. “Y’all [in the media] kill me anyway, whether it’s right or wrong.”

A few moments later, Vick was approached again to make sure he understood that his comments were on the record. He responded by asking the reporter to print his request that Kelly settle on a starter before camp to avoid the rampant speculation.

“There’s better things to talk about,” Vick added.

My take? I think Vick is getting outplayed by Foles so far and he’s nervous. He can’t fathom the idea of being the backup quarterback to Nick FOLES! That idea haunts him, and he’s taking to the media to lash out his frustrations and shake things up a little bit.

Ok, just to clarify…we would never, ever, ever fight over “posting rights”. You think we give a shit about rights? Who do you think we are? We post anything and everything. Send us the cease and desist!

Second, you think OS would actually post nude photos of Erickson? No chance. You’d have to come to TSP to see those dick pics.

Ps. Erickson is probably hung like a horse. I have a feeling. Looks like a third-leg kind of guy. Probably did work in his hay-day.

So remember the picture we posted a couple of days ago of Bieber looking like a complete asshole at the Heat/Pacers game 7 (I literally just typed the same question as the title)? Well, here, I’ll refresh your memory:

Ok, since we’re on the same page now, I’ll proceed.

Well, The Biebs refused to be photographed until someone brought him a Miami Heat dancer...seriously. Whatever “brought him a Miami Heat dancer” means anyway? Brought him one to bang after the game? Brought him one to meet? To take pictures with? Either way, what a total asshole.

Ps. I hate the fact that every Miami Heat dancer gets wet over Bieber and would 100% have sex with him. That’s the root of the problem.

Pps. On the flip side, you know the old saying, ‘don’t hate the playa hate the game’? I guess that applies here. Haters gonna hate, but I guess it’s Bieber’s world and we’re just living in it….unfortunately.

[CBSSports] Q. LeBron, to that end, as a student of NBA history, how do you think Tim will ultimately be regarded in this era as one of the players of this era? How do you think he’ll be viewed?

LeBRON JAMES: Probably one of the best players to ever play the game of basketball. If I just look at the last 15 years, he’s probably been the most consistent, most dominant player that we’ve had as far as 15 years all together. He’s won four titles, multiple All Stars, MVP, and so on and so on.

I think He doesn’t get a lot of recognition because he’s not flashy like a lot of guys are. He’s not jumping over people and high???flying and doing the things that attracts people to the game. But I think true basketball, true IQ people, players know how great he is. What else can you say?

One thing I love about LeBron is his respect and understanding of the history of the NBA. He is a true student of the game. He has ultimate respect for Duncan, and who doesn’t? Is Duncan the most dominant player over the last 15 years? Maybe…I know Kobe would have something to say about that.

Anyway, this is going to be a phenomenal series. For me, if D-Wade is even somewhat healthy the Heat win easily, in 4 or 5 games. If D-Wade isn’t healthy, the Heat win, in 6 or 7 games. LeBron is just too much to handle and unlike the Pacers with Hibbert, the Spurs do not have someone who can protect the rim. Duncan is not that type of player, and although Tiago Splitter is a nice player, LeBron will go right through him every time.

Ps. Barkley likes the Spurs and thinks, wait for it, wait for it, that Tracy McGrady will have a hand in the series.

[Philly] Columbia Health found that male ejaculate reads like the ingredients list of a protein-infused sports drink: fructose sugar, water, Vitamin C, citric acid, enzymes, protein, zinc and more. And now, according to new research reported by Discovery News, certain females are consuming male ejaculate and sperm as if it were food, using the nutrients to fuel their own bodies as well as their fertile eggs.

Now we should probably preface that “females” in this sense, includes those in the animal kingdom as well — but lead author Benjamin Wegener said that ejaculate consumption is also well documented among humans even though the behavior is not a standard part of our reproductive process.

Wonderful! Drink up.

Ps. I wonder if sperm is a good chaser? Like, vodka/sperm on the rocks…
