La Bomba

I lost all respect for Nash when he had a Real Madrid scarf in the game against Toronto FC and than goes out and says he's a Barcelona fan.

Gay carries, by his estimation, about 15 pounds of added muscle. He'll tell you his level of focus is immeasurable behind a strong showing during USA Basketball's July minicamp. His desire to elevate the Grizzlies is off the charts with training camp less than a month away and three consecutive losing seasons in the rearview mirror. "I want to be an All-Star. Everything I do now is trying to help me get to that point," Gay said. "If I'm at the top of my game and recognized as an All-Star, it'll mean we're winning." Having won over Griz brass with his offseason work ethic and maturation, Gay aims to carry that momentum into his fourth season. He's spent most of the summer in Memphis building up his body with the help of Griz strength and conditioning coach Jason Biles. Gay will play at more than 240 pounds this season. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/aug/31/power-play/

I just got the game in the mail with that SI offer. Probably won't player till the end of the week because I have a really busy week ahead.

Yeah. If Smith improves his work ethic, I think he'll be the best tackle in this class.

I'm looking Mississippi State or Arkansas bound.I still have time to get my grades up and stuff because I don't really want to go to a hick school like that.

LOL is that the moment you'll praise for the rest of your life? Every dog has their day. I can guarantee you that won't happen in a tournament that actually maters. Enjoy beating [expletive] teams like Honduras or Costa Rica because you won't beat the real teams when it counts, LOL you can't even beat Mexico. And who's side are you on anyway, Poland or USA? Must be pretty easy to have two teams to choose from.

Memphis cheated to get to the national championship so it basically never happened.

Memphis, bar none.

To bad it'll be vacated.

LOL you obviously haven't seen Drogba play the last two years. He is no where close to what he was before. Villa does what he does in a worse team than Torres as well. Just look at what he does for Spain while Torres is pretty quite. Torres has more potential obviously, but he's not better than Villa yet. Ibrahimovic is the most talented forward in the world, bar none, but he doesn't apply himself and plays for himself.

Ribery has said he wants to come and at one point he stopped practicing so they would transfer him. Ribery is definably a big possibility for this year or next year.

Training camp buddy, nothing else.

The main reason I got a 360 is because most of my friends have it. I've never played a PS3 so I couldn't tell you which one is better, but I'd just get a PS3 because of your friends plus my cousin told me takes a long [expletive] time to get your 360 repaired if it breaks living in Spain.

Robben to Bayer for 25 million. Hopefully this opens up Ribery.

The same could happen in Memphis. Memphis has a lot of trust in MCJr as of late and I would do the same looking at the way he played at the end of last season. And Iverson scores, we know that, but we will have 3 potential 20 PPG scorers already with Gay, Mayo, and Randolph and all three of those players want to be the first option. Conley actually passes the ball and he could average around 6 APG if he started. I'm not sure about this. I'm scared of adding another cancerous black hole.

Bynum is twice as skilled offensively compared to Oden. Oden still struggles with simple post up moves. Defensively both are improving but they do get into a lot of foul trouble.

I remember you from the old OTR, welcome. No Kentucky fans allowed though so you may be banned in a few minutes.

LOL I know. I hate E'to, but he is the second best forward in the world when healthy (best is Villa). Ibrahimovic is ridiculously overrated. He disappears in big games, and plays for himself. E'to may be a cancer just like Ibrahimovic, but he works his [expletive] off every game. And he does go crazy against former teams. Just look at his games against Real Madrid, he always scores.

Really like all the depth the Raptors added this year. Players like Marko and Hedo are really going to play well for the Raptors' system. I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors made the second round this year. Nice writeup.

I'm waiting for mine to download. I'll try it out tomorrow.

Iverson was averaging 17 PPG before getting traded to Detroit. He isn't worth it IMO.

Because so far he has been treated well by the management and they have treated him as the star player. BTW Minnesota fans, this isn't going to happen.

I can't wait till E'to tears Barcelona a new [expletive] hole.

Yeah he really proved that in the summer league.
