Bad news blogs

Well, the Sprewell story is bad news, and so is the state of the Warriors, but everything else is just great.

By Sam Rubenstein

I went to deadspin to find a laugh like many of you. Instead I was greeted with great sadness. Say it ain’t so Latrell. Say it ain’t so. I hope they use the idea for the post I sent in about how David Ortiz just started endorsing vitamin water and now he’s having heart problems. Compared to Spree, that’s a light hearted story. I’d like to point out that the color of his flavor of water is red. In baseball there is something called red juice that is sort of controversial. I am very upset by the Sprewell news, and I hope there is some logical explanation, but this is very very bad.

The return of Don Nelson has been met with… wow, they really brought back Don Nelson! Golden State of Mind is wasting little time getting to DEFCON 1. Sellthewarriors.com is on its way.

I was all excited yesterday about getting our lowpost.net rankings JACKED UP, but now Mutoni’s knocked us down a notch. He’s hosting the latest Carnival of the NBA, which he’s already pointed out. And I assume he’s already ordered this t-shirt.

As I said yesterday, the point of my blog is to help out the little guy. So, I present you with two blog entries. Basketball is Life and a live blog of this morning’s USA-Germany game at NBA Basketball and Other Unrelatedness.

It was pointed out to me that there is yet another People’s Champ, and his name is Ron Artest. That is both in title and the truth. And much like with any of the other true people’s champs (Frazier, Balboa, The Rock), I pay homage to the legacy.

Now it’s lunchtime and I am hungry.

    sorry about that, guys. that lowpost.net ranking system is all screwy, there’s no way benchrenaldo is more relevant than this place; it’s not even 2 months old!

    you better believe that t-shirt has been ordered. that’s just good, clean, wholesome fun right there.

    I don’t really know what those rankings mean, although at their most basic I’d say that it’s a good thing.

    How is Muhammad ALi not a people’s champ?

  • Sam Rubenstein Posted: Aug.30 at 2:09 pm
    I actually thought of that and forgot to change it. WHoops!!! And Joe Frazier became kind of an establishment guy. It’s all very confusing.

    Regarding lowpost.net rankings: “All monitored NBA blogs, sorted by influence. Influence is a measure of incoming links from other tracked blogs.” Translation: Carnival of the NBA has magic powers!

    Doesn’t latrell know? Man, you gotta ask before you choke! I don’t think he asked PJ,either.

    It’s true that the carnivals can really impact the 30-day lowpost.net rankings–perhaps too much. But I like the fact that sites can rise up out of nowhere … I think it only took a couple of months for TBJ to crack the top 5.
