Say Uncle

A full team made up Lebanese amputees from various wars still hit the pitch every weekend. Football brings us together.

Good write-up on Nomas-NYC, a fresh clothing brand catering to sports fans from the 70s-90s in the New York Times. The crew drops good knowledge on their blog and are behind this interesting video short on Dominican baseball agent Edgar Mercedes via Playboy

The minority owners from the local entertainment community keep stacking up for the Dolphins…lets hope J-Lo had some cheerleading clauses put into the deal. Word is Bon Jovi rejected a deal from Stephen Ross as the hype builds for the next recruit. Our vote is for Uncle Luke!

Mayweather is definitely looking for some attention after two years off, but he brings up a couple good points for the true boxing fans. However what’s this about only black & hispanic fighters running the sport? Heard of Klitschko, Pavlik & the upcoming Pakistani Amir Kahn? It’s more about money than race Floyd.

Early last year, Dwyane Wade signed up with a couple local businessmen to open the ill-fated D Wade’s Sports Grill. Two locations opened, but only lasted 6 months. Now one of the partners, a supposed Baron, is suing him for $90 mill and dragging Flash’s name through a mud of drugs and women. Doesn’t seem possible, but storyline from the Miami New Times is a good one.

It’s on….the Heat are coming together at a good time, but the Hawks with home court will be tough to beat in their house (check last season when they took the Celtics to 7 games in the first round). Going to be a good series.
Miami might also be the first team to have their team playbook on an I-pod. Better not lose that in an ATL strip club.

If you witnessed any of Alonzo Mourning’s retirement ceremony, it was great to see the Georgetown alumni re-united…3 of the most dominant centers in recent NBA history and one towel waving coach. College basketball ain’t what it used to be.
