Since our last post (which I nailed with my Super Bowl prediction) our little Mavericks have done the unthinkable in a couple of ways. They went out and won the friggin’ title with an absolutely amazing run (middle fingers in the air), then… promptly dismantled the title team. Yup, basically said, “thanks for the run Tyson, little big-head JJ, and awesome neck tattoo Deshawn, now don’t let the door hit you on the way out. We’re going to waste a year on the backside of Dirk’s prime in hopes our astronomically long shot for Deron and Dwight works out.” And in the process the Mavs are on verge of unwatchability (yes I know that’s not a word, soak it up).
So we’ve got that going for us… alongside the purgatory that is the Dallas Cowboys. Another year, much like every year before it. The owner is the worst GM in american sports, the head coach shouldn’t be a head coach, the team lacks talent and their depth is laughable, Romo is a loser, and Witten & Ware are watching their primes pass before their eyes, all for naught. Let’s move on, it’s really not worth wasting words on. I could just re-post blog posts from 2010, 2009, 2008 and so on.
The Rangers lost another World Series, awesome. Nobody circles the wagons, like the… Texas Rangers.
I hear the Stars are decent, the hundreds in the crowd for those games are going wild.
Greetings everybody on one of the greatest days of year! Super Bowl Sunday is here and the excitement is building. Although it’s hard for Cowboy fans like me to have two hated rivals in our backyard, it’s fitting. Those organizations deserve it.
And now on to the DOG Sports Blog official predictions, set in stone:
RJ: ”Rodgers get knocked the fuck out, Steelers win 30-17″
RichyRich: “27-24 Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers as Super Bowl MVP”
Kizzle: “Rooting for the Pack but I’d bet on Pit if I had to put my own money on it.”
Moxy: Give me Green Bay. I’ll stand on a table hammered yelling at Aaron Rodgers, “you’re all growns up and you’re all growns up!” Green Bay for the win, 31-27.
Well there it is, check back in next week to see us eat crow or gloat! Have fun people, stay safe and remember to high-five your chick after effin’!
How’s it going party people, it’s been a little while since my last post and it’s feels good to get back into it… just like my ex-girlfriend.
First off, I’m listening to 10am Automatic by the Black Keys and so should you while reading the post, do it, do it now. Download Rubber Factory and just let it play man.
Alright, it really is Big Sports Monday around here and that’s not just puffery. Oh so great puffery. We’ve got the highly overlooked and disrespected Mavericks going into South Beach to take on the most overrated, most overhyped team in the history of history. You do not understand how much I hate the Heat. I can not fully describe my dark heart and the pure evil hatred for all things Miami Heat, but I’ll try. Yes it goes back to the DWade con-job that was the 2006 Finals. Rip-off. And it extends to the abortion that was LeBron’s “the Decision” show on the unholy ESPN network. To say I wish failure (and injury) on the menage a trois brothers in South Beach would be putting it lightly. Shifting gears, I really like this year’s Mavs team. They’re as deep as they’ve ever been (insert joke) and more importantly, all the pieces seem to fit. And fit in a way that really balances the team out, they aren’t nearly the one trick pony they’ve been for most of this decade. I like ‘em a lot, and I like our chances to the end the Heat’s streak tonight. Of course if we lose, expect a curse word laced diatribe in this same spot tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »
A forward to LeBron: I have to admit that I’m a bit biased towards the Heat thanks to the finals ‘06, and to you specifically based on your decision to relocate your talents. Therefore, please take the following comments with a grain of salt.
Hahahahaha
I watched with delight tonight as the Dallas Mavericks reinforced what the rest of America already knew for certain, NBA Champions have always been about the “right mix” of talent. With James and Wade, the Miami Heat have without question 2 of the top 5 most skilled players in the NBA. Throw in Chris Bosh and you account for 3 in the top 20. With this amount of talent in the starting line up, how could the Heat possibly lose more than 10-12 games in even their inaugural season? Simple, the “Big Three” of Miami are still only 60% of team. After achieving the unthinkable, (signing 3 premier players) Miami was left with the daunting task of compiling the rest of their roster on what was barely a blue collar budget. The side effect was a predictable lack of depth and a glaring weakness at the point guard and center positions. The Heat might have collectively the most physically gifted starting 5 in the NBA, but smart play and a decent zone defense kicks that advantage right in the jewels. Your’re left with nothing but over-sold hype, presumptuous ad campaigns, and empty promises. The Miami Heat have lost whatever essence of invincibility they had when they entered the 2010 season and are now left to figure out how to get back to basics and simply be competitive in the Eastern Conference. It will be interesting to see what happens when (not if) they replace Erik Spoelstra as head coach. Will the Heat elect to finally play inspired basketball under new leadership, or is the pressure to win not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 Championships too much for any collection of athletes? Good luck LeBron, you’ll need it with the rest of the world snickering at every failed fulfillment of your prophesies.
by RJ I am so sick of Crabtree and his holdout. What is with these college punk bitches who want to dictate how the NFL draft works? Just a couple of years ago we had to sit and listen to that whiney sackless bitch Elisha Manning cry and get his way. Now fucking Crabtree wants to basically say he is a top five pick no matter where he really went in the draft. Look you little money grubbing whore, you were the 10th pick not the 9th, 8th, 7th and so on… you get the point. Why are you punishing the team that finally wanted your baby ass? Guess what - if they didn’t pick you, you would have been 11th or worse. The money offered to Crabtree is fair for the slot he was selected. I hope his ass does sit out a year. Where does his ass think a bitch of a player that has not played in over a year will go in the draft? I seriously doubt it would be in the top 15. If the 49ers don’t budge and his ass sits, I will be counting the days until next year’s draft. The joy it will bring me to see him sit like Brady Quinn all in tears ‘cause nobody with in the top ten wants him. I can see it now, his eyes all welling up with bitch tears counting the money his stupid ass decision cost him. So just like I say about Eli, bitch moves equal bitch men! I will forever hate and have no respect for Crabtree no matter how good he turns out to be!
KICKOFF. I love FOOTBALL, but hate the Steelers. I’ve already enough of the Steelers coronation. Kickoff the damn ball!
1st series 3 and out for the Steelers, go Titans. I’m completely for the underdog in this one.
I wonder how many Crown & Cokes Kerry Collins had in pre-game.
And I wonder if Big Ben’s girlfriend from Harrah’s is watching the game.
8:20 left in the 1st and Big Ben takes a completely boneheaded sack. Running around like a smacked ass he lost sooooo many yards. Good. I think he had Harrah’s on his mind.
Collinsworth is alright, but it’s just not the same without Madden.
6:44 in the 1st, Rob Bironas just pissed off some fantasy owners with a terrible field goal attempt. Not me though!
4:54 1st, Big Ben takes another sack. Yup, Harrah’s on his mind.
Mendenhall sucks.
3:00 1st, drunk Kerry Collins is moving the ball on the vaunted/overrated Steelers D.
But Polamalu is good. Just made a sweet pick on a drunk Collins throw. Too bad he misses 3 or 4 games every season.
:06 1st, next play Big Ben throws a turrible pass that gets picked off, hahahahahaha! He’s been awful so far. HARRAH’S! Read the rest of this entry »
By RJ I know everyone is so sick of the Favre shit that they want to vomit every time they turn on ESPN or NFL Network. I for one am glad he is back. I think it would be just sad for him to finish out his career the way it went down in the second half of last season. This will be a better year for him. He is on a better team than the shitty Jets for one. The people out there that say he is too old and broken; well he is still better than half the QBs in the NFL. Face it the Vikings need him if they want to go anywhere this year. Sage may be the QB next season and there after but this is a show me now league. Sorry to say Sage has learning to do and is in no way ready to show anything now. Sorry Jackson supporters but he is a joke, they would never win with that piece of shit! Who gives a shit if Favre can’t make up his mind or just doesn’t want to say to the public, “hey I don’t want to go to camp”. Read the rest of this entry »
By RJ The track world has asked Semenya of South Africa to take a gender test. I have seen a picture of said athlete and nothing about the person says woman. For one thing look at its name SeMENya, it has the word men in it. What’s that you say? Not enough proof? I say again look at the picture it’s a man baby! If not a man then the ugliest man looking female in the world! She makes the Williams sisters look like super models. I say any man that would have sex with this is truly gay no matter the result of the gender test. As far as I can tell the athletes only defense in this case is say look in my pants there don’t be a dick! In my opinion their surely was once and it was pointing out and it wasn’t strapped on. Take a look and judge for yourself.
Gortat! Gortat! Gortat! But what's he doing to that basketball?
By Moxy Quick recap of the NBA offseason: the Spuuuuurs add (overrated) Richard Jefferson, the Magic add (has been) Vinsanity, the Cavs add (comedy) Shaq, Boston adds (the dad that can still whip ass when he wants to) ‘Sheed, and the champs get (a mental patient) Artest. These are all teams better than the Mavericks that actually just got better. They make up the upper tier, the contenders. Just below them are the little Mavericks residing in the middle class of the NBA, good enough to make the playoffs but far from contending. And what have we done this offseason besides keep our own? One word, Gortat. Yup, that’s it. Gortat. The name doesn’t quite fit in with those on the first line of the post. He’s a big bald career backup who’s actually an upgrade from Damp but not a game changer. I guess we’re “more solid” now at center to keep us firmly in the middle class, but the end result will be the same come next season. Bounced in the 1st or 2nd round in 6. That’s what this team is, without a major move we simply aren’t a threat. And Shawn Marion is not a major move. Hell I’ll take him, why not, but that won’t change the Mavericks position one bit. It helps us do battle against the likes of Houston and New Orleans, but the Spurs and Lakers will rear back and knock us the eff out to a Phil Collin’s song, just like Tyson did fat jesus in “The Hangover”. Yes, we are fat jesus. So here we are, wallowing in mediocrity, beatin’ up on “littles” and gettin’ beat up by “bigs” for 80 games until we go down with ease in the playoffs like a whore after tequila shots, welcome to purgatory Mavs fans.
Projected lineup:
Point Guard: Jason Kidd/ J.J. Barea
Shooting Guard: Josh Howard/ Jason Terry/Antoine Wright
Small Forward: Shawn Marion/ James Singleton
Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki/ Brandon Bass
Center: Marcin Gortat/ Erick Dampier/ Ryan Hollins
