This is an ending.......worth seeing over and over. LeBron James saved the Cleveland Cavaliers season last night with this incredible shot at the buzzer.

Enjoy........

"SNL" versus TNT and Barkley

You know you have made it when..........

Saturday Night Live.....does a spoof on you. Charles Barkley and his network.....TNT were the butt of this latest SNL skit.

Kenan Thompson does not do a good Charles.......but the white guy sure looks a lot like Ernie....and SNL does a great job pointing out just how annoying all those on screen promos for upcoming shows are for us fans........who just want their sports.

Take a look:

Welcome Back........Sir Charles

From the set of TNT's NBA studio show last night:

"Let me start by saying something," Barkley said as TNT came on the air before the San Antonio at Detroit game.

"Clearly everybody knows I got a DUI. That's unacceptable, 100% my fault," he said. " . . . I screwed up, I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I apologize."

"Never get behind the wheel when I've been drinking," Barkley said to anchor Ernie Johnson who asked what lessons Barkley may have learned from his DUI episode in December that caused Barkley to be arrested.

"First of all, every person who's drunk thinks it's OK to drive . . . but, seriously, if you have a drink, seriously think about it. If I've had a glass of wine or a beer, that's different. But if I had something to drink, I'll seriously think and not get behind the wheel."

He also thanked TNT management, kind of. "As far as the bigwigs at TNT, I never trusted them 110%," Barkley said. "I've been here eight years and we don't spend a lot of time together . . . but I want to tell them it meant a great deal for them to stick by me through my screw-up."

That........was that....

Our guy, Charles Barkley. No passing the blame.......no throwing others under the bus. Coming clean. Admitting.....he screwed up.

How refreshing.

In a time where pro athletes and celebrities are quick to place the blame elsewhere.......Charles proved he can indeed be a positive role model......and a decent human being. No lies........no theatrics ...........just the truth.

Good to have you back, Sir Charles..........

So..........Who Really won the Dunk Contest?

You be the judge.......

Did Nate Robinson win the 2009 NBA slam dunk contest.......or was Dwight (Superman) Howard robbed?

You be the judge....

Thanks to our friends at TNT and YouTube....

Hump Day News & Views

Election 2008.........

I have voted.....Monday.......in the "early voting" system in this state of Georgia. There have been war stories galore about people waiting in line for up to 8 hours.

I ..........was in and out.......in less than 60 minutes.

I urge all of you........if your state has "early voting"........take advantage.....vote this week.

And if you cannot ..........please .....please.......vote on November 4th.

Republican or Democratic..........let your vote be heard.



This young rookie.......looks mighty old to me......


Yes ........Greg Oden.....he of the Portland Trailblazers........the 19 year old.......going on 50. Oden finally made his NBA debut last night after missing all of last year with injuries. And folks.......he is not ready. He didn't even last a half. Went out with a foot injury....and the L A Lakers blew out his team, 96-76...... Uh....Greg? This is an 82 game season here..... Another first round bust.

This guy has never been healthy.......Too much weight.......too little muscle.......his knees and feet cannot support his 6' 11" frame.

Too bad.......from what I hear.......he is really a nice guy.......with a great attitude.




Mini World Series game.....


Tonight, Major League Baseball will attempt to complete game five between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays.......

Philly leads the series 3 games to 1. The game will be resumed in the bottom of the 6th inning, tied 2-2. Simply put........the Phillies have to get 6 outs........and the Rays, 9.

Look for this thing to go about 14 or 15 innings....and still not end until the wee hours of the morning. MLB deserves everything they get for selling their soul to Fox Sports.

By the way.........last we checked.......there were "lake effect" "ice showers" in the greater Philadelphia area.....





Mums the word.......


As in the gag order........ordered by Florida coach, Urban Meyer.......

If you have watched any of ESPN this week .......you have been constantly reminded of Georgia's end-zone celebration last year........(the entire 95 Bulldog players danced in the end-zone, following their first touchdown).

Meyer has instructed his Gator team to not dare speak out on the topic. Mark Richt of Georgia is also tip-toeing around the controversy.

Memo to Florida..........and ESPN........Georgia beat Florida last year, because they hit them in the mouth.....strong armed Tim Tebow........and made more big plays.....simple.....

This game Saturday features two of the most talented teams in the country........and the winner will be the team that best executes its offensive and defensive schemes.

Nothing more ........nothing less......

What happened last year........means nothing.


Things.......I think I think...........

Fall is fast becoming one of my favorite seasons........No humidity........beautiful scenery .......

TNT's NBA studio show .......is the best in all of sports with Ernie Johnson, Jr, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley.

Why can't Fox News........just admit they are a spokes-person for the republicans.......and be done with it....I would respect them more.....Instead of hiding behind, "fair & balanced....you decide"..... We have decided.......and you are so.......biased.

When does Hockey begin?

Just kidding........

Have a great "Hump Day"........
