Miami Heat Fan Pita Flips Out In Video

I have to post this video of a Miami Heat fan who tries to pump up the residents of his city by making a video about how awesome their team is.  I think he forgot to take his meds before he made this video.  (via Terez Owens)

Basketball Wives Season 2 Reunion Part 2

These women are crazy.  That's the summary right there.  Part 2 of the Reunion Special was even more action packed than Part 1.  Part 2 saw Ashley, Suzie, and Gloria return in order to air their opinions primarily about how the rest of the cast attacked them.  Ashley was definitely the least interesting person in the cast and there's nothing to really say about her.  Suzie showed up where she was basically attacked for spreading rumors about the other girls, especially Evelyn who was furious that she was spreading her business about who she slept with when she felt that she brought Suzie into the group in the first place.  Gloria was still defending herself because the women felt that she was phony for bragging about her "perfect" relationship.  The sh*tstorm did not occur until the very end when Royce and Evelyn got into it.  Honestly, the fight was such a mess that I'm not entirely sure what they were fighting about.  Royce criticized Evelyn for sleeping around at which point Evelyn said (in typical Evelyn fashion): "You can't get the sh*t I get, bitch!"  Then, Royce told Evelyn to "Keep your legs closed, boo!" which elicited a gasp from the audience and a stunned face from the other women on the panel.  It's so strange seeing such beautiful women getting so low, but I love it.  It was so bad, but oh so good.  I sit here contemplating whether or not I should watch the special again right now.  It was just that good.

Despite appearances, Gloria (the fiancee of LA Lakers' Matt Barnes) is definitely scrappy.

Basketball Wives Season 2 Reunion

This blog has transformed itself into a reality television show blog, which is fine by me.  Last night on VH1, the women of Basketball Wives got back together for one last bitch session to complain about one another and fight like only the Basketball Wives can.  Seriously, what a bunch of pampered financially comfortable women can have to complain about is beyond me.  Actually, I like to call the show Basketball Groupies because only one of the women (the amazing Jennifer Williams) is married.  The highlight of the night was when Evelyn and Tami addressed their epic fight that occurred during the season finale last week (I blogged about it!).  During the discussion, Tami drops a bomb to the affect of: "I slept with Chad!" as in Evelyn's new squeeze, Cincinatti Bengals fame whore Chad Ochocinco.  The look on Evelyn's face when Tami said that was priceless.  There was a lot more trash talking after that with Royce coming across as looking like the mole that both Jennifer and Evelyn accused her of being.  The question remains: will Evelyn Lozada (who probably brings in half of the viewing audience) return next season?  The rumor is that she is shacking up with Chad so they can nab their own show on VH1.  I have an inkling that she'll be back, but only until she signs on the dotted line for her own show.  The catch phrase of the night: "Let's get it Crack-a-lackin!"  I'm gonna use that.  Can't wait for the next season...

The Reality Show You Need To Be Watching: Basketball Wives

Leave it to VH1 to come up with a reality show that is simultaneously abhorrent, addictive, and amazing.  This is the network that brought us Rock of Love, I Love New York, Chance At Love, and Celebrity Rehab (multiple seasons).  Having seen most of these shows, it really isn't very surprising that Basketball Wives is both so bad and so good.  Now in its second season, the series follows the "wives", girlfriends, and groupies of professional NBA players.  On Monday, the finale of season 2 aired and it was nothing less than a shitstorm.  The most controversial character on the show is New Yorker Evelyn Lozada who cannot say two sentences without four or five curse words, and who seems ready to fight with anything that moves at all times (in spite of what is clearly a heavily surgerized body and blonde weave).  Well, she messed with the wrong girl on the last episode.  After Tami, another one of the "wives" (actually, an ex-wife) reveals to the girls at dinner that she is so happy to have found a new group of friends (and she says all this while crying), Evelyn reveals that she dated Tami's husband Kenny Anderson (formerly of the Celtics) for 6 months while Tami was still married to him, claiming that they only had sex twice and that she did not know he was married.  Tami, who appears to be calmed by the presence of Shaunie O'Neal (Shaq's ex-wife) and Jennifer Williams, stands up but seems inclined to talk (or yell) it out, but then Evelyn yells "You were a non-factor, bitch!" and that's when Tami lunges for Evelyn as if she wants to kill her, with Evelyn yelling "No, STOP!!!"  As trashy as this show is, like Jersey Shore, it's addictive because it's like watching a train wreck over and over for 45 minutes.  Unfortunately, the season is over.  Can't wait for the next one!

Evelyn and Shaunie O'Neal.  As most of us know, Evelyn is now engaged to Cincinatti Bengals' Chad Ochocinco (who also had his own VH1 unreality show)

College Basketball Star Brandon Davies Suspended From BYU For Boning Girlfriend

Being a baller is not all it's cracked up to be, at least not at BYU.  Brandon Davies, a 6'9 center on the number 3 ranked basketball team at BYU, was suspended from the team for violating the school's honor code and admitting that he had sex with his girlfriend.  After the suspension, the team went on to lose to unranked New Mexico.  What I want to know is if Davies is a Mormon (and I think the answer is probably "no") and I also am curious about how many of the students at BYU are actually celibate.  Further, I wonder which is more characteristic of an automaton in this case: giving in to your urges and getting freaky with your girlfriend, or sticking with the honor code and... ahem... finding other ways to get off? Actually, masturbation is probably a violation of the honor code as well.  Some religions are just no fun.
